OVERHEAT. can I run without a thermostat? (long) 850

Is the hose that goes from the radiator to the thermostat flowing to the radiator or from? the reason I'm asking is that I noticed this hose gets really hot fast and the bottom one (bottom of the radiator) stays cool for a while. The coolant is circulating in the heater core since it can get toasty fast if I run it full blast.
The reason I was asking about the thermostat is that the expension hose comes from the top of the thermostat housing. I was wondering if a free flowing coolant would interfear with it in some way. I don't know what to think anymore. I removed all the rubber hoses when I was doing the head gasket so I don't think that would be it.
I'm just very confused right now...
