Not Always Right is like a train wreck of humanity that I can't tear my eyes away from. Every story I read makes me more and more infuriated with the stupid jackasses I encounter in my day to day life. There are some funny ones though.

This place is a comedy...news site? Is that the right word? It's still a good way to lose a few hours laughing. I have to say my favorites are the fantastical stories some of the writers (read: Dan O'Brian and Michael Swaim) put up

The early ones are good but all the newer ones are trying to be unusual anecdotes instead of properly mundane.

Which I guess makes it the perfect counterpart to FML.

All of these I pretty much came across one day and found myself reading the entire archives until late at night.

www.joshreads.com - Josh Fruhlinger reads the newspaper comics "so you don't have to" and points out things that are unusual or odd or terrible.

www.politedissent.com - a medical professional named Scott reviews comics as well as TV shows Fringe and House from a medical/scientific point of view. Very interesting.

www.thereifixedit.com - another of those themed blogs that seem to pop up all over the place lately (like Not Always Right or lolcats). This one features really, really amazingly bad DIY attempts. Tag cloud includes such tags as "electrical hazard", "probably illegal" and "frankenstein."

encyclopedia-obscura.com - this is one of those pop culture sites like X-Entertainment (which itself is another one I've spent too much time on) or I-Mockery. Actually the webmaster writes or wrote for the latter as well. Hasn't been updated in a while and it's probably just a matter of time until the domain registration runs out, but there are some very good articles.

Don't rightly know if I intended this to become a "share funny links" thread but then I couldn't say what I did intend it to become if anything, so what the heck.

Here, Wiki, Cracked, Here, Facebook, Here, Youtube and here are pretty much where I spend all my time online.

I lead an uninteresting life.

Actually all of these are pretty much the same thing.

Also averagecats are better then lolcats.

TV Tropes, Wikipedia, HERE, that depressing webcomic I brought up and made a scandal with (even if I read it all in less than a week, it wasted time of my life being optimistic!), Newgrounds, Jayisgames, Battleon, several other wiki's related to games and media I enjoy, Speed Demos Archive, Let's Play, http://www.it-he.org/deus.htm, Onemanga, Mspaint adventures, and Pokemon.com because the website streams the soundtrack of 2 B A Master, and damn-it, I am nostalgic. We have to say goodbye! *CRIES*

Basically "fuck my life" is a collection of commonplace not that bad events and "my life is average" is a collecton of very unusual not-average events so I'm gonna be real disappointed if "love my life" isn't depressingly mundane. If it manages to be a collection of passably pleasant instances it would actually break the mold.
