  Internet Island Topic Post #26: The Likely and the Unlikely

  It is likely that our lives revolve around some given schedule, and that we fall into routines. Change might be present in our lives, but for the most part, there is the likelihood that we can reasonably expect our days to present themselves with a familiar similarity. The Internet Island topic this time out deals with the likely and the unlikely events in our lives, and how we deal with them. Do we prefer the familiar and the safe, looking for comfort and serenity, or are we adventurous, seeking excitement daily and relishing quick changes in scenery?

  The Topic Post will last about a month. Please enter the link or date of your Internet Island Topic Entry for this post in a comment here. If you are creating a link, make sure you link to the page with the “comments” box and not the page with five entries. (HERE IS A TUTORIAL ABOUT HOW TO MAKE LINKS.) The purpose of Internet Island Topic Posts is to help get the members of the Internet Island Blogring to exchange comments and get to know each other. Please check back periodically for new entries throughout the posting period.  If you post a topic entry, please make an attempt to visit the other Islanders who do so as well. It is also a good idea to post the link to the Topic Entry in your own entry so that other interested parties can come here. You can copy/paste the Topic Post links right here in this entry into your own weblog entry box.

  As you list your entries in the comments to this post, I will “list” them here, so they are easy to find. It is also helpful to add your Internet Island entries to the Internet Island Blogring Pool. When entering a post for an Island Topic on your blog, click “Send to Blogrings” in your editor, and choose the Internet Island Blogring.

  26.1: Routine. What is your routine? We all have one, to some extent. They usually begin with the start of the day, as the alarm clock “rings” (or plays an appropriate wake up song) and we arise from slumber. Some of us wake before the sun arrives, and some of us are lazily content to eke out the most pleasure from our bedtime before we rise. Do we make breakfast? Or are we out the door in a shot, planning the workday’s bullet points in our heads? What is the likely order of your day’s events?

  26.2: The Wrench in the Works. There’s an old saying about how throwing a “wrench in the works” of any machine utterly messes up it’s purpose. Has there ever been any memorable “wrenches” which have been thrown in your day’s “works” by either yourself or some unseeming perpetrator? How did you deal with this change of events? Did you welcome the “wrench” or suffer from the consequences?

  26.3: PDAs, Cellphones, and Dayplanners. Are you organized? To what extent does organizational skills help life in general and your life in particular. Do you “schedule” blogging time, for example, or do you randomly surf the net? Do you spend equal time with all the contacts on your cellphone’s speed-dial, or are you the type who disdains any form of organization as the domain of the “anal retentive”?

  26.4: The Most Unlikely Thing Just Happened. I saw a movie over the weekend, which I just happened to pick up off the shelf at Hollywood Video, not thinking I would enjoy it at all, and I was pleasantly surprised. Our expectations usually dictate our day to day experiences, but sometimes our expectations are either pleasantly or unpleasantly thwarted by something we experience which is “out of the ordinary.” What is the most recent or memorable “unlikely” experience in your life?
