Let me start off by saying this post isn't meant to offend anyone.
Unless the only way to get you to a)stop doing dumb things, b)get you off your lazy bum and do something productive and meaningful with your life is by thoroughly pissing you off.
Also, this is going to be fairly long, but I do hope you stick with me.
Now, to business!
Have you ever used the phrase "fuck my life" (FML)? Odds are that you have. I'm guilty of it myself. But I'm seeing it thrown around a lot more frequently lately it seems. And i have to tell you it's starting to cause a lessening sense of faith in my generation. Are we really so aloof about using such a phrase? Now, I do understand that it's really meant as more of a "figure of speech," and I'm not in the least offended by the expletive nature of it, but...c'mon. Fuck your LIFE?! As in, my life is the worst thing ever and I'm so sick of it?
I have to ask you to just do me a solid and think about what your saying for a second.
I guess the reason it makes me so frustrated it that you all usually use it to express a frustration over something absolutely...petty.
Oh, you're bored?
Your mom told you that you can't go to that party this weekend?
Your internet has been down for, like, 10 whole minutes?
These are NOT FML moments.
These are more like, "fuck my last 20 miuntes" or maybe even,
"That's a pity."
But seriously, people.
Get over yourselves.
The next time you are about to utter that atrocious collective of words try to think about someone who actually might qualify for a life of fuckage.
Like a 7 year old little girl that's been fighting leukemia for the last 2 years and has to reassure her parents that everything is going to be alright every time her counts bottom out again.
Or the 16 year old boy who had to drop out of school and get a job working at Taco Bell just so that his family can afford to eat.
How about all of the kids in Africa that are dying of AIDS, and it has nothing to do with being sexually promiscuous? Or maybe they're sick because they don't have any clean water and had to drink out of a pothole in the street.
What about that guy who lost his job when the motor companies were closing plants (you know, so tht they could give their CEOs a big fat fucking bonus) and now he can't make ends meet on minimum wage so he has to sleep on a park bench every night.
But, you know...I bet most of them wouldn't even say it.
So, please, I'm begging you, stop saying "fuck my life" every time your lazy ass is stuck at home with nothing to do. Stop typing those 3 little letters in succession on whatever social networking bullshit to let everyone know your lazy ass is stuck at home with nothing to do. Just say nothing and move on. Try doing something productive with the time and talent I know you possess.
Like this guy-- Ed Stockahm
Meet the person who showed me there are better things you can do with your life.
Example: This flicker set is a comic.
You should also check out his "Those That Run" trilogy (Part 1 and 3 are YouTube, Part 2 is anther flicker set.)
Anyway, just to make sure I'm not being a hypocrite, I'll tell you that I am improving my personal self and my life by:
-Making an effort to complain A LOT less.
-Donating my spare change to UNICEF.
(That may not seem like much, but its more than i can honestly afford and this is just a few of the things just a little bit of money can do.
-Set up an etsy shop to raise money for more people who need it. (If you are interested in helping me with this please send me an email: blushingink@yahoo.com)
Now, then- I feel as if I have lectured you enough, not to mention worn out your pretty little eyeballs with the length of this silly thing.
Thanks for bearing with me.
♥S.
