Random text generators and my text messages

Wow, it's been nearly a whole month since I last posted. I didn't intend to go that long without writing something for here. I guess I can't be a professional blogger then. So greetings, readers, even though it's quite likely that I am posting to an audience of one (not including myself), that one being... well, you know who you are. Actually, this person is rather relevant to the content of this particular post. I'm getting to the point, I swear I am. Random text generators. 

For awhile, I'd been wondering if there was something out there that could generate a sample of text based on some input text - the generated text would be comprised of text from the input. And finally, I've found one and had some fun with it. It is here if you would like to try it out for yourself and/or see an explanation of how it works. (to whoever created that: it's really cool!) 

So, I looked in my email where I have backed up aaaall my text messages (love you, android, for being open source and therefore having the capability of having an app that can back up all your texts to a gmail account... also the text message search feature is way better and more functional than on ios. Okay, I'll stop with that for now, but yeah, everyone ought to stop using iphones and switch to android! At least if you're particular about text messages the way I am. I'm not sure a lot of other people are like that. But hey, if you are, you're not alone!
... what a tangent. In any case, I chose a variety of texts that I've sent in conversation with a particular person from the past few months. An assortment. It ended up being about 8.5k characters, apparently. Then I chose how long I wanted the generated text to be (1000 characters) and also how comprehensible I wanted it (there's a longer explanation about that at the link to the website). I'm not publishing the source text, since it's... it can get pretty weird. But the generated samples, sure. That's what this post is all about. Apparently they need a pretty extensive introduction. 

So, here they are. I ran the generator a few times and got some different generated texts...

"He is only increased with therapy" "Except in Russia does Vincent D'Onofrio." 
Very interesting, eh? I might try it out with some other input text (Wikipedia articles maybe? Pieces from the New York Times? Who knows!) in the future. 

Vincent D'Onofrio mentioned in this post: yes / no 
I just keep happening to write posts that somehow involve him..
