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.
