Freak Havoc
I don't want to encourage chaos. It sounds like fun until you get an image of yourself in noisy and echoing racquetball court, hard rubber balls speeding past you at all angles, in a constant wince from the impossibility of seeing on all sides of you at once, and incurably conscious of the back of your skull as an inevitable target. I just think it would be refreshing if everything got out of its rut for a little while every so often. Just for maybe a week every couple of years to see what would happen. I know that it's possible to get yourself out of your own rut with a little ambition, but that's not really fair to you. You hoist yourself up over the edge, but the rest of the world is trying to maintain its inertia and will overpower you. I mean everything and everyone should start doing something different, just in case it works better.
I know this has been suggested by other people all sorts of times before, but i've never suggested it, so i thought i'd try it to find out what happens. Hehe. Now i'll know.
