bad language
So I know around Valentine's Day I think I put up one of those FML statements (**** my life). It's a cultural trend, mostly among teenagers and younger people, to say negative statements about their life and end it with FML. I was doing it as a joke, as a sort of dark humor. But a friend showed me it was wrong, and I agree. I think doing things as a joke can be funny, but there are other ways to be funny besides using obscenities. And because FML and the words it stands for are the same thing, I shouldn't say them. Nor do I really want to anyway... it's really negative and doesn't get me anywhere. I guess that's another change I'm making this year. As it is, I hardly ever cuss, but that could be even better. I'd be a lot happier with myself if I wasn't saying things that my family would hate if they were here. And since I say I believe that God is more my Father than my earthly father is, then I ought to behave like my Dad is around all the time. Because He is.

Why is it easier to use jokes that put down people rather than build them up? :) just a rhetorical question really. We have "Thats what She said" jokes, Women cant drive jokes, we joke about peoples mistakes. Trying to find jokes or statements that build people up is hard! (But yet so much more rewarding)
