I was checking my facebook the other day. Looking at people's statuses, updates, etc. I noticed my sister-in-law Amy's status. It was part of a song, one of which I have never heard before. It went like this, "So sick of the hobos, begging for change. I don't like how I got to work and they just sit around and get paid."
When my husband Nick inquired about it, asking where she sees hobos, she laughed at his ignorance and told him it was a song called, "Hate my life." I asked why she listens to such crappy music. She then got defensive and told me that I listen to crappy music and to lay off cause it is her current favorite by theory of a deadman. (Kinda like a flavor of the week/month.)
So I looked it up. I was extremely appalled at the lyrics! Here is the link to the song. Warning, this song contains: HL (harsh language), EV (explicit visuals), and the writer is a VAP (very angry person).

So now that you have seen it/heard it. I would like to share a couple thoughts I have on it.
A. The title
Seriously! "Hate my life!" Wow. How pessimistic! Why don't you just speak worse on yourself! We are taught to speak life! Speak life! All I see these days are people saying "fml!" I get tired of it. This one time my friend Kat was talking to her friend that is in a wheel chair. She said she was having a horrible day. He said I had a horrible day once. She said oh yeah, what happened? He said, I got into a really bad car accident and could never walk again. She shut up. Whenever I even think about saying I had a bad day, I think about that.
It is like this. If you are breathing, your day is fantastic! If you are walking, you are having an incredible day! If you have the use of all limbs and you have apposable thumbs, life is looking superb! If you have a job, you are blessed! If you are loved, your life is going amazingly! Mostly, if you are a new creature in Christ, you are NOT having a bad day. If you can say yes to any of these, there should be no FML!!!! You should be happy! Thankful! Mostly, you shouldn't hate your life.
Speak life, not death. You have so whatever you say. And another, the bible says that we shall hate nothing except sin. Especially our lives that God has given us.
B. "I hate everyone, till the bitter end."
Wow, really? Everyone is pushing it. You are really saying a lot about yourself if you hate everyone just because you are an angry person who is mad at the world! And why does the end have to be bitter?! It doesn't! If you are bitter, you aren't saved. If you are bitter, you are living a life NOT of Christ. If you are bitter, you need God.
3. "How come I never get laid, nice guys always lose."
If he were a nice guy, would he be writing such crappy things? I mean seriously? Who lets this man make money off of this crap!?!?! I mean a couple lines later he is talking about underage girls. Now if he were married, and a nice guy, would he be hitting on other girls? Hmmmm....
4. "If you are P'd like me B's, here's what you gotta do. Put your middle finger up in the air and say..."
That is enough of that! I mean do I seriously have to say seriously again! Seriously! Dang! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? Did you ever get your mouth washed out with soap? If you were my child I would take you right now and put soap in your mouth. And I mean the squirt bottle kind. Not the bar. (It leaves the taste in their mouth longer.... so... I've... h-e-ard?)
I am pretty sure the rest of the lyrics show how much he hates his life. How much he hates everyone else. How he wasn't hugged enough as a child.
E. The beat of the song.
Is it just me or does this song sound like a mix between "I love this bar" and anything by nickleback? W-eee-irrr-da.
So now I introduce to you my version. Ahem. *clearing throat* Me me me meee, you you you you yooooou. Ahem. Ok....
Love My Life by Lindsay Bertram
So blessed is my life, I want nothing to change.
I have a job, get to work, and I even get paid.
Most people don't have a car.
But I was able to save,
Enough money to get the one that spoke to my heart.
I don't like that my wife, isn't part of the higher class.
To her it isn't about the things,
There is more to life than cash.
I love my job, and all my friends.
I'll sing it the same, until this blessed life ends.
It'll all be alright, there's a bigger picture in sight.
I love my life!
How is it that some get laid off, and others will lose.
They all live lives filled with headaches.
Blaming everyone else, using every excuse.
But I have a job, and I love my chick.
"I wish they knew you Lord,
and just would learn to submit."
I love my job, and all my friends.
I'll sing it the same, until this blessed life ends.
It'll all be alright, there's a bigger picture in sight.
I love my life!
Yeah!
I love my kids, such an innocent age.
Don't know how to sass.
And they each have a smile on their face.
So if you're blessed like me,
friends, here's what you gotta do.
Put your hands in the air
And scream, "Hallelu!"
I love my job, and all my friends.
I'll sing it the same, until this blessed life ends.
It'll all be alright, there's a bigger picture in sight.
I love my life!
So many eyes to awake, so many records to break.
I love my life
It's always something new, "I'm so blessed to be used."
I really love my life!
