Kevin's Book of Random.  Chapter 1.

An Epitaph for the Modern Random

A Proverbial entrance into the modern random would show us that modern random isn't entirely random.  For Example.  When one would enter the metamorphoses of becoming random, one finds oneself using Hippos entirely too much.  Hippos are the general stereotype for being random.  ( Read more... )

Although this book is entirely true, I disagree strongly with the idea that the over use of something isn't random, in-fact If one was to place the word "friggle" in their sentences over and over again it would become random, as no one else speaks like that, yet to the single person it would be very... common, thus removing the title "random" or a switch, one may never say the phrase "Mr. Body massage machine" but decide one day to "randomly" say it to his/her friends (yes... a his/her) but what if thats an on-running joke sentence with the friends? uh, that my friend is where a second dimension of random must open... and the question becomes rhetorical, is anything truly random?

thats what I think anyways

I would say there is definitely a true form of random. The human mind is so unpredictable in many ways. When I wake up in the morning, I can decide whether to put my jeans on or wear sweats. When I eat breakfast, I could scramble some eggs or chose from Lucky Charms, Huney-Nut Cheerios, or Raisin Bran. The question isn't whether anything is truly random, but rather when does a random act or saying no longer hold the title of random? Random should be defined as the state of abnormal activity in which no logical thought or connection can be found pertaining to anything else. Once you define the loss of random, then you can decide what truly is and is not random.
