Random events have to be totally random - let's consider the case of one of my friends - for the purposes of this blog, let us refer to her as UP. UP goes to India for a break, and then promptly in a span of a week, announces her engagement with another mutual acquaintance of ours - call him HK. Is that random or what?
Consider another totally random event - a friend of mine - to be termed as FC - totally flips out and promptly gets banned off campus. Reason for his flipping out- he was stressed out and wanted to return to Taiwan - but when he snapped, and was promptly banned, he tried to stick on here in order to stay in the US! Random or what?
Another mutual acquaintance TL announces his breakup with his girlfriend PY after returning from China. The reason being apparently that TL cheated on PY with some other girl; the funny thing here is that TL is the guy who dumps his girlfriend PY, after TL cheated on her. And, the even-more funny thing here is that PY is all distressed and heart-broken due to this break-up! Not distressed due to the infidelity, but more so due to the break-up!
Yet another random event would be that I actually wrote this totally random blog-entry, and if you actually read this (which would be totally random, coz nobody seems to read this wonderful blog!), that would complete the whole random blog cycle!
So, do all these random events describe life? Is that the purpose of hearing bits of news like these - unconnected, rambling, and yet meandering back to the same point - life is totally random, you never know if people will get lemons, or oranges! All you know is that chances are it is impossible to deduce the actual chance of getting either fruit! Oh yeah, it is also possible to get a sardine instead of a lemon/orange - like I said, totally random!
