almost ?

[grladams at teleport.com]

Yes I keep thinking that too. I began to run into the words "almost as if"
with dread when reading it for long bouts of time because I thought it was
repetitive. And I wished that we could all just "come out and say it" but
when I would raise my eyes to think, well what would that be, well you see
the horror in that! I wished there was a non repetitive way to say "almost"
but don't you all, in that eye raising moment think of "against" as it is a
titular word, and the beauty and complexity of that prepositional title
phrase. and then that opened up to seeming to, being not unlikes, and other
tricks of these crabwalking sideways and aways from the thing
relationships. I also took these points in space to be as reflections. I
began to think there had to be a reason for it. I think it is resistance in
pure form, maybe. The pulling away from an inevitability that has been well
loathesome. Also in my math deficited world I pretended that the math
represents an ever present measurement of this device.

Has anyone done a phrase count of  "almost as if,"  or just the word, 
"almost"  ?    I think it occurs on 'almost' every page.    What does 
this mean?   Nothing is as it seems but it all connects?
