Too Ginger for a Ninja
This line managed to come up in conversation and I said that sound perfect for a song so here goes nothing:
I'm too ginger for a ninja,
gunna creep up on you,
365 days and your birthday too.
I'm too ginger for a ninja,
what you gunna do,
pretend that you can't see me right behind you.
I look good in the kit,
the hoodie robes colours
every tiny bit.
I even have a ninja special stealthy hat,
but can't hide the colours of the lasagna loving cat.
I'm too ginger for a ninja,
that's why I wrote this song,
short and sweet not serious or long.
I'm too ginger for a ninja,
now I'm gunna take off,
just excuse me one second cause I need to cough.

Sport
Ok, ok, I realise this is quite a broad topic but there is one area that encompasses most sporting activities that I really don't like and that is the amount of time they can go on for. I'm not a particularly sporty person myself, well when I say that what I mean is the sport I like has to involve an engine, but occasionally I watch other sports that happen to be on TV whilst I'm round other peoples houses.
Now don't get me wrong there's nothing wrong with the actual content of each sport (especially the womens volleyball) it's just the time commitment your sign yourself in for when you start watching something. Take the tennis that was on earlier this week, the game latest five hours. Now I'm sorry but at what point (no pun intended) in the name of love (that one was intended) did playing a simple game of tennis become something that needed to last that long. If they get 3 sets each then have a tie breaker then, that's an incredibly simple way to shorten things. I mean if you were inviting me to play or watch a game then I might be interested but if you then mentioned that it might not be over until the time I'm 25 then I wouldn't bat an eyelid.
Premier league football is another great example here. Again nothing wrong with the game itself, and infact if you move down a league or two then 90 minutes of action is most enjoyable. But at the top level the players are all paid too much and don't actually do very much. If you pitched (can you blame me for that pun?) me the idea of 90 minutes of a load of men in shorts falling over each other and having arguments then I don't think I'd be too interested. Now here you can either pay the players less of make the games shorter so if I do have to watch this same old drivel then at least make it a shorter waste of my time whilst I go spend half the money to watch a League 2 game which is far more fun.
I could go on but unfortunately I have a driving lesson now, one week before my exam. Whilst on the topic of driving I mentioned that my sort of sport had engines in it so you're problem asking well what about Forumla 1 then. My answer even then is make it shorter so it's an hour long. That's why I love the BTCC, 3 races of approximately 20 laps in length which has plenty of action. Although endurance events such as marathons and Le Man 24 hours should continue. Sports that are regular should be shorter. Is that not such a bad idea?

Randomosity
Ironically I planned this topic. One of my little querks I really like is the ability to just riff off completly random phrases or sometimes, if I'm in the mood, improvised songs. For the latter my rule is that they have to have a straight forward AB rhyming pattern. For example, if I were to start a song about a dancing chicken dressed in a green sparkly striped waistcoat, carrying a pineapple turning up in the middle of a West End production of Chicago starring Orianthi, then I would have to find rhymes with at least a few of those words.
What I don't like is when people say "ohh I can do that too" and but every time they try they always include a common factor. Well two usually to be honest. They nearly always have a three part structure and they will always include, for example, a dolphin. So one time they'd come up with a dolphin in shoes drinking Pims and the next they'd say a book about someone called Bob who is a dolphin. I'm not sure why that annoys me but it kind of does.
Now I admit I have my favorites and chickens are one of them but if I include one of those then I try to make the rest of the song or sentence more exciting like I did to begin with. There are those that are better at it than me and there are those that are worse but for those which are the latter please try to avoid keeping things blocked in threes. This is the exception where the magic 3 doesn't apply. I find the trick is to completely space out whilst your talking to someone and pretend your as high as a kite, either physically or chemically it doesn't matter.
So for a post about randomonsity this has been surprisingly structured and to the point with little featurettes of the spaced out thinking. With this you really need to think out the yellow square and the blue circle and the white elephant shaped box in order to succeed but remember don't think about it because otherwise it's not random is it.
