Acts of Randomness: Old School

A little history for all of you.

Back when I first started posting things on the internet, I didn't have a name for my site. It was just "Dave's Journal," and at the end of the articles I would put all the random thoughts that came to me that I didn't feel like developing. Either I was too lazy to put the effort into drawing out the joke for three paragraphs or the idea was simply better as a one-liner. These thoughts came to be called "Acts of Randomness," so now I'm going to bring it back to get rid of some of the ideas that have been populating my head lately.

Acts of Randomness: Old School

- It must have been really hard to drunk dial someone back in Colonial Times. Its hard enough trying to find the person's name in your contact list when you've had eight Jagerbombs too many and everything reads like Swahili, imagine trying to catch the pigeon AND tie that tiny note to its foot!

- On the show Man vs Wild, the host, Bear Grylls, eats anything he encounters in the name of survival be it plant, animal, or mineral. If Bear came across a bunch of bananas in the rain forest, he'd eat the monkey.

- Why does my spell check insist that I capitalize the word "internet?" I know what you're all thinking. Yes, I do use spell check.

- Every battery in my room decided to die on me today. I was sitting at my computer with my mouse not reacting, unable to turn on my television, and my mp3 player slowly sucking the life out of itself. It is a sad day for lithium... which is ironic.

- I'd be a good phone sex operator, but only between 8:00 and 8:15am because of all that overnight phlegm that makes me sound way sexier than I sound any other time during the day. Also with my morning daze, I may not be as socially crippling as normal while talking to women over the phone.

- I've never had I Can't Believe Its Not Butter, but I have an open mind about things so I'm fairly certain I would give it the benefit of the doubt.

- I want to buy a racehorse just for the chance to name something. Sure, I could wait until I have kids but people look at you funny when you have a son called "Baby's Been Bad" or "Jumping Jungle Fever." Although, I'm pretty sure my child's name will have some alliteration in it.

- Gmail has a feature where you can see who else is online checking their email at that time, and whenever I see someone else online I feel compelled to send them a message. The same thing is true when I'm in a bank and I see them putting a large sum of money in the safe. I feel compelled to slip the teller a message saying "Fill the bag and nobody gets hurt."

- Is there anyone else out there that can't spell encyclopedia without singing the damn song?
