Trust me. The world can be a really shitty place-- I know what you mean. It hasn't been the greatest life for me, either. But the best way, in my experience, to make things that much more bearable is to laugh them off. Or at least laugh at them. If you're walking home from work, and it's sleeting and snowing and raining, all at once, and a truck goes by and soaks you to the bone, it sucks, but if you're laughing, it takes a little of the sting out of it. Life's easier if you can laugh at yourself. Fumble a catch, stumble in your graceful catwalk, hell, spill ketchup all over your new shirt. It's easier if you can laugh.

Terry Pratchett's a good example-- his world can get pretty dark, but the sense of humor comes through anyway. That's like the PPC, a lot. It's not necessarily a cheerfulhappylovely place, but that doesn't mean it has to be all drama and angst.
