Alright. I’m saying this first. The two most overused phrases online right now are “fail” and “FML” and this needs to stop! At first the fail was funny, because they were often associated with humorous images, but now people just keep twittering about the random fails in their life that are neither funny, witty nor very interesting. Didn’t make it to the mall because you couldn’t find a parking spot? That’s not a fail. That’s just a boring aspect in your boring life. Thought some movie wasn’t very funny? No, that’s not a fail either because who the hell cares. And you calling it a fail doesn’t mean you’re better and wittier than your victim. It just means you’re over-using a hyped up memefrom the Interwebs.
You know what is a real fail though? This blog.
And I’m talking about the whole FML thing, too. At first, the site was funny because wow, some people really do have messed up lives. But if you’re resorting to writing about the random bad-but-not-really-bad stuff and topping it off with a predictable “FML,” then no, don’t FML. Just move on. You missed the bus and were 20 minutes late to work? The girl you liked turned you down? That’s no FML. That’s just frustrating. Find something more interesting. Discovered that your parents and doctor have been hiding your real gender since you were born and you’re actually a boy? Yeah, that’s an FML worthy situation.
Anyway, don’t even try to comment with “ENTRY FAIL” or “RANT FAIL” or something because that’s not very original, either. Wait, you know what? Who cares. No one reads this anyway. FML.
