Maniacal Metronome, defined

Maniacal Metronome seems a befitting title for my blog / journal as my natural rhythms tend to be variable in time, length and often swing towards mania before it swings towards depression.


According to dictionary.com, a maniac is:

1. a raving or violently insane person
2. any intemperate or overly zealous or enthusiastic person.

It is therefore understood that maniacal is:

1. affected with or characteristic of mania
2. characteristic of or befitting a maniac

According to dictionary.com, a metronome is:

• a mechanical device which indicates the exact tempo of a piece of music by producing a clicking sound from a pendulum with an adjustable period of swing.
