Here I go sounding like Tony Robbins again

So I hear a lot of people saying "FML" these days (FML stands for F*** My Life). I'm against that. First off you should never think that, because life is precious and if you need someone to talk to there are people out there. And secondly and more importantly, why focus on the negative. 

For example: 

This week I had my tonsils taken out. So I could say, "Oh my throat hurts, FML." Or I could be like, "I had my tonsils out and I get to lay around all week, MLR!" Which is what I propose as the opposite and combative equivalent to FML. 

MLR stands for My Life Rules. Because even in the darkest of times, your life does rule. Why focus on the negative aspects of life. There are so many things to be thankful for. "I woke up today, MLR!" "I have a car, MLR!" "I have a job, MLR!" etc. 

And if you think about it, the toughest times, and the darkest days always make the best memories. When my band's van broke down in New Mexico 3 years ago and we had to drive 27 hours across the country to come home and get it fixed we were all down, but now it's 3 years later and I still look back on that and think, "MLR" At the time it was awful, but even a week later we were all bragging about how bad ass we were. 

MLR is not to be used sarcastically, it's to be used when you truly mean it.

Examples: 

"I just got paid, MLR!" 

"Dude I just called Stacy and she wants to hang out, MLR!" 

"YO! I got the job, MLR!" 

"Class of 2009, MLR!" 

So in summation, My name is Zac, I just had my tonsils out and MLR. And so does yours. 

NOTE: MLR can also be used as OLR (Our Lives Rule) or YLR (Your Life Rules)
