Three reminders:
1) Don't forget to let your readers breathe once in a while. Also, extra irony points for forgetting to let your readers breathe in a sentence where you talk about someone who forgets to breathe.
2) If in doubt, always break a sentence down into parts. Don't fear punctuation--it's here to help you.
3) Sentences of four or more lines of text are too long. You're not Virginia Woolf, and your readers are unlikely to tolerate paragraphs masquerading as sentences.
