dream

i had a dream last night. i saw roger clemens at Costco.  i quietly asked him "are you roger clemens?". he was wearing a hat and a hood. he said yes and i insta-asked him for a picture. my mom was there, so i gave her my phone. but it was torture, my mom didn't know how to use the camera function. i kept telling roger sorry, she'll get it soon. but he got impatient, and said he had to go. i was sooooo upset.

last weekend, i was walking to get food at the giants game. and walking in the opposite direction was jim harbaugh. i get star struck easily. my eyes opened wide and i think i said "oh shit" when he was about 8 feet in front of me. i'm pretty sure he heard me. i insta went crazy stalker kid and turned around and walked 10 feet behind him. i kept thinking oh shit, that's jim harbaugh. i think i'm getting old though. if this were 10 months ago, i would follow him until i was physically unable to (for example, he goes into a luxury suite and i get told "sir you can't go in there"). but after 30 seconds of following him, i just stopped and bought some food and that was that. cool story, i know

i saw this on twitter today. rob dyrdek (twitter: @robdyrdek)  tweeted "hey @rob, do you have any interest in selling your twitter name?"

@rob (a regular dude named rob i assume) responded "i have had lots of offers, but you are the most legit one so far. i had a bet on who would contact first: thomas/dyrdek/kardashian"

then dyrdek tweeted "hahaha. what do you think? you need a vacation? maybe a nice watch?"

and that was that. this is so interesting to me. like yeah, if you locked up the sites like cars.com or shoes.com yearssss ago, you could have sold it for millions. but now, twitter names are valuable to people. when i signed up for twitter, maybe 18 months ago, i wanted gmiz, but it was taken, so i used gmizzz. i would pay some amount of money for gmiz (not that much obviously, but there's definitely a price i would pay). same with gmail. my first and last name@gmail.com was taken.) i would pay some amount of money in order to take it over. i'm curious how much the twiter name @rob is worth to rob dyrdek. $10k? $25? maybe more

another thing i thought about. in 600 years, nearly all usernames on twitter/gmail/yahoo will be taken. every email will look like john.smith456112@gmail.com. right? i mean, someone has johnsmith@gmail.com out there. what happens when that person dies and his account is idle for 3 years? will gmail let someone take over the account? this is interesting to me.
