F*** My Life. I love the little stories in here. Rude, crude and hilarious. Be careful though - it's a bit of a time suck.
I get it but after a while it gets to be pretty trife. Oh, you poor things. Sorry to be a downer. I just think it is stupid for probably mostly privileged westerners to be complaining to the whole world about what are minor inconveniences/Problems of there own creation and then state that their life is "fucked".
There needs to be more entries like:
"Last night the Tutsi warriors entered our village and began slaughtering every male of military age. Those that could escape death were left severely injured. Many had limbs hacked off by machetes. Women that didn't get away in time were either raped, killed or permanently maimed. I managed to hide in a sewage ditch under a metal plank and just barely avoided detection. I now have dysentery in addition to the typhoid fever I have been trying to recover from for the last 2 weeks. I'll probably be dead by the end of the week. FML."

Well, go over to the website and take it to that next level to make fun of them:
"Yesterday, I stopped at the local coffeeshop and they had changed the menu around. I had to spend at least another two minutes trying to figure out what to order! Fuck My Life."
I read too much of this site and it made me really depressed. Now I am expecting my boyfriend to call and tell me he has just had amazing sex with another girl. No more FML, please.
