This is Bizarro Mav World and Everyone is Just Along For the Ride

So Mission 1 this weekend was to reverse bad Karma from the week. Success and failure is so, shall we just say, subjective…but to try and put it into more concrete, black and white sort of perspective…we both succeeded and failed to reverse the Karma….It did NOT start out so well….Boa and I left late, 4 p.m., damn we are going to miss Taco Toss, the HH of choice ONLY after Goose pointed out how yummy Tacos are….she’s right though…still haven’t fulfilled that destiny. Great, we are off the program. Not looking too good in the Karma department at this point. And then the traffic…oh the traffic. And did I mention the traffic….two hours to the Bay Bridge from my house….on the way home I did it in 45 minutes…a task from Goose. She knows how much I love to be on task. So, the traffic… but wait, we have our super secret, I’d tell you but then I’d have to kill you, special directions that take so much time off the trip that they are the best….what?....You forgot to print them out??? Oh, but you can remember? Oh Thank God….Karma could be changing. Meanwhile….2 hours later in a corn field far, far away…the following conversation was taking place: Boa: Are you sure this is the right way? Mav: I think so, it looks familiar…I’ve seen this corn field before. Boa: I think we missed a turn. Mav: I thought you said you would remember the directions? Boa: I don’t know where we went wrong…TURN, TURN, TURN…..Officer: (In very slow Corn Field Raised Drawl) Did you know you were goin 44 in a 30? Mav: No, but we are lost. Boa: (Map in Hand) We are on our way to Rehoboth (great… now red neck hick police officer thinks we are gay) and we took a wrong turn Officer: Well I’m just gonna give you a warnin this time. May I have your license and registration please… Warning comes on official looking pink slip. Aggghhh Karma Is NOT changing. Finally get to the beach (see Boa’s Blog entry for details of rest of ride) and…what? We are the first ones there…grab me a beer!!! Yea, tonight it’s the master. But this is so different, we can’t hear what’s going on upstairs…we are VERY far from the fridge with the beer in it. Don’t like the master…off the program…Karma still bad. People arrive. Tell them about upside down bizarro week and evening…all agree this is strange. And now we are going to the Cork. On a Friday night? How can this be? We never go to the Cork on a Friday. This is going to be terrible….what to do…can we make a run for the Starboard? Minutes later, watching the 80s cover band with the singer sporting a mullet…we realize…our Karma has just changed.

Mission 2….Kissing a cute boy. So went to North Beach on Saturday night, again the program was out the window when we missed Taco Toss on Friday night, but hell…this being off the program thing didn’t turn out so bad. Let me explain. While Destiny’s Child was making their surprise one night only, all star appearance at North Beach, so apparently was Dirk Diggler, along with his crew who may or may not have been at a Bachelor party, but hey, even if the guy’s divorced at least he was having fun. Anyway…Dirk….boy can he shake that thing….but being Beyonce and all, it goes without saying how I can shake mine. And so we danced….and danced….and danced. And then Beyonce took him home…and kissed him all night long.
