Karma

I have to say I might be one of the luckiest bastards alive. If I lose it…somehow it generally finds itself coming right back to me. It all started out when I lost my digital camera after an amazing trip to Austin for SXSW. Pictures of me making out with a beautiful girl (who later turned out to be fat), pictures of me and Dave 1 from Chromeo at an after-party, backstage at Mastrkrft (for the first time)…it was truly an epic weekend trip.  So while I was wasted one night, I dropped my camera near a gutter, and POOF it was gone. Let me say Craigslist Lost/found might be one of the best things to have happened to the Internet because a week or two later some old lady contacted me and after I described my lewd pictures. I was the happiest guy alive.

So again just a few days ago being in a rush (and not wasted) I lost my precious Cartier watch at the airport and again I scoured the internet, put up a bunch of posts, and made a ton of phone calls to American Airlines and LAX without any luck… when finally someone contacted me on Craigslist to say they found an “expensive watch”, after a little back and forth we realized the guy didn’t have my watch. Just when I was ready to slit my wrists I got a phone call from the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) telling me they had found my watch. What luck!

The first eight days of 2009 have already proven to be a great start to the year. Only 357 more days to go!
