the rape of random

It's a subject that must be broached even though it pains me to have to admit I know people guilty of this crime. Remember how random used to be used to mean accidental, arbitrary, unsystematic ect? No more as now it has been sucked dry of any and all dignity possessed beforehand and has become the new favorite filler word for half the world's Jett population. Strange sentences that only these hormonally overloaded minds could conjecture like " I'm in love with the blue monkey and my toenails" is now being excused with "oh I'm just so random" Unfortunately their ever faithful 12 Oc disciples are quick to take up the torch and pronounce there idol as "cool", "awesome", and "like totally crazy" which brings me to another point. Remember when crazy signified the drooling, cross-eyed children you had to share the lord's love with every Christmas? Not anymore ! Now people happily announce there mental retardation openly online to all, which can only leave me with the thought that declaring you're crazy is a slightly less self obsessed way of saying "I'm trying to be original" (which by the way, just makes you like everyone else)
