You know how some days everything is just going to hell, like karma decided to be a bitch for no particular reason? Today was one of those days.

First my atm card fails on me so I have to go to the bank on monday and stand in line for an hour or two just to get a new one. This means that while they sit there with their thumbs up their asses like all bank employees do (takes around a week or more to get a new card), I can't do shit because I can't get to my money. On top of that, I lost a micro SD card that I used with my DS to play roms, so all my savefiles are gone. It might seem trivial but I hate losing things, there's nothing that pisses me off more.

EDIT: On a lighter note, I got a Starcraft2 Beta invite, yay!

"like karma decided to be a bitch for no particular reason?"

What does "karma" mean ?

Karma is like this: If you're an asshole, you're gonna have terrible luck and have everything go bad for you. But if you're good, good things happen to you and you have good luck.
In the religions that study karma, Karma is a way for you to move up the social ladder. If you're piss-poor that means you were a terrible person in another life, and in this life you're being punished for it. So in order to NOT be poor in the next life, you gotta be a good person and all that.

Ever heard the phrase, "What goes around comes around"? That's karma.

Sucks to see that you've lost your bank card.

Well, I believe in God, so I don't believe in karma :D :P. I think it's just a fancy name for "consciousness".

Aw sweet, I was so good in my past life that I'm rich in this life? AWESOME!

It's not religious, it's just a philosophy that's incorporated into a lot of religions.
More understood as a sort of universal pseudo-law to keep the "balanced universe" mentality, really.

I should probably note that I don't really believe in karma except when it comes to human relations of course. Act like an ass and you'll soon find yourself quite alone. When it comes to stuff like this I'd be more inclined to believe it's a string of bad luck rather than the universe balancing out something I don't even know about.

But yeah, karma is more or less "what goes around comes around".
