This was first slurred by a drunken soldier in a bar in europe who was pinning over his impending divorce. The phrase was picked up by the soldier's friend who in turn made it his "catch phrase". It quickly gained popularity and propigated through out the military community. Within two years the phrase started showing up back in the United States.
The blasted soldier was trying to say: I'm stuck over here and she is back home. She met someone else. I'm over here. This is how this kind of shit happens, because he was blaming the military for shipping him overseas.
What came out of the soldier was: ah'm shruck ova heer an shees back home. Sheez met summ one cuz ah'm ova here. An thatz, Shit happens.

- Something you can say you're going to do as an excuse to get drunk with a "purpose" which is to "make shit happen".

The idea is that planning out an evening is stupid. The key is to start drinking and let the booze take you on a journey.

"Making shit happen" is purposely vague as to allow your imagination to conjur up images of whatever drunken revelry it can.

- An excuse to attempt an awesome but usually ineffective play in a game or sport

- Change the game

- Create a ridiculous situation one way or another, usually involving alochol and/or bad judgement.
People sitting at home:

P1: "What are doing tonight?

P2: "Nothin much, why?"
P1: "Figured we could get drunk and make shit happen"
P2: "I'm there."

People playing beer pong:

P1: "What the hell dude that was a stupid-ass off-the-wall bounce"

P2: "I don't know about you but I'm tryin to make shit happen here, we're down 8 cups! If I make that shot that's a moral victory right there, not to mention the 2 cups it puts down. Good shot in my book."

Playing basket ball person one pulls up from 28 feet: "NBA THREE!" *air ball*

Treammate "What the fuck was that?"

P1: "Making shit happen dude, what the hell are YOU doing to help the team win?"

Teammate: "God dammit..."
