good karma

Nov 4, 2009

I'm at the downstairs bar on 14th street and its about 3am. Two friends 15 strangers and one great bartender. there's a delicious and I mean defuckinlicious pizzeria across the street thats open till like 6am....You Manhattanites know the place. Anyway, I as always had forgotten to eat that day and was wondering why I felt like someone stuck a dough mixer in my belly. Just then I get this brilliant idea to get me some eats. Being the gracious guy I am, I ask everyone in my path if they'd like some as well. my two friends the barkeep and one random gentleman obliged. Off I go...Two of these one of those another one of that...etc. Two boxes of hot heaven later I'm back at the 'ol underground bar, enveloping pizza like a starved POW. After the massacre , the offers of financial compensation began. Well, my friends, they're on me. The bartender, for obvious reasons, on me....But the random dude, who I never met before and probably will never see again, offers me $6 for his $4 slice. I refuse. He then starts to plead with me. Impressive, but, its $4 dollars, who freekin cares? I say..."look man, the slice is on me. That's it, enjoy it." He says, " I want to give you money man! I don't like to get shit for free." I'm like.."Dude! relax! its a frickin slice of pizza forcrisake! not a godamn Rolex!" He's like.."Come on man! Please let me give you some bones for it!" SO....think for a minute, and say..."Tell you what my man, you seem like a good guy, that's why I bought you the slice. All I want from you is to give me good karma. I mean really good karma." He looks at me for a second or two and finally gives in. He then waves his fingers at me, does a little spin and blows into his hands and says..."BAMN! there you go bro! Good karma for you SON!"

The next day, out of the blue....my girl broke up with me.

FUCK KARMA!

i'm probably gonna get yelled at, coz my friends yell at me for this usually but MAYYYYYYYYBE... it IS good karma that she broke up with you. sure, it sucks now and doesn't feel that way but who knows, down the road you may either 1) find something out about her that will make you say wheeww dodged a fucking bullet there...and karma had stepped in to make her end it with her since you were too into her to do it yourself.. OR 2) you meet someone incredibly amazing down the line who you wouldnt have otherwise been with. sadly, I am being serious and yeah i really do get a lot of crap from friends trying to make them open their mind to the hidden blessing during the dark times. all i need is to organize my data and i will have more empirical evidence and won't sound like such a pollyanna. point is.. i'm sorry she broke up with you but i promise happier days are around the corner.

An image of susanmaryfrnces Maybe she was going to kill you but, instead, broke up with you and the good karma dude saved your life.

What a great read, and cruel and callous as this is, it made me laugh but a laugh of solace and empathy. Thank you for sharing. I do agree with the comments suggesting it may well be positive karma... Here is a story for you: "Maybe" Once upon the time there was an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. �Such bad luck,� they said sympathetically. �Maybe,� the farmer replied. The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. �How wonderful,� the neighbors exclaimed. �Maybe,� replied the old man. The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune. �Maybe,� answered the farmer. The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son�s leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. �Maybe,� said the farmer.

An image of Bbrute Thank you all for the responses! It's great to see how many of you are possitive thinkers out there in Cupid land. Not that they need anymore advertising but the pizza place is called Artichoke, try it drunk or sober, same results... Incredible.
