Chance and the Universe

So, as I was leaving work today, I began to wonder why the Universe seems to make me "bump into" (not literally, of course) people on a fairly regular basis that I would actually rather not see all of the time. I wondered if it was dictated my similar schedules, but it doesn't seem so, or just plain random. Regardless of the causes, I was a little annoyed with the Universe for messing with me. Not 5 minutes later, I'm walking down the bike path and a girl says, "Is your name Neven?" I was a little taken aback, as I didn't recognize her at first, but then I realized that she was someone that I had gone to middle school with. It was good to see her, her husband, and her cute baby, so maybe that was my lesson about not getting annoyed with chance occurrences. You can't predict them, and I would have hated to miss out on running into her, just to not have to run into someone else.

Oh, and often on my way home, I pass this guy walking down the street that I live off of. He wears this hat, kind of one of those fishing hat things. Only, he wears it tilted back with the string cinched under his chin. EVERY time, I think, why is that guy wearing a bonnet?!? Then I get close enough to realize that it's just the fishing hat guy who must be worried that it's going to blow off of his head or something. It makes me laugh, though. :)
