Today, LIKE A THOUSAND MILES OF FIRE:
Walking into nature
A sense of peace and harmony,
Is blossoming.
As trees reach for the Heaven’s skies,
I follow them in the dim moonlight.

But as I look around the barbwire,

The cool hand of the reaper
Chokes any sense of harmony.
By the lamp post it is dying,
Before my own eyes.
We, the reapers, made this killing light,

The light that burns like a thousand miles o fire. MLIAA (just want to see if it will work)

It worked? Haha.

Today, I went on MLIA to get the link to average cat; sadly it’s been replaced, now it’s something about wizards. Overly disappointing… MLIAA

Why your stories aren’t being posted.

I just thought I’d mention a couple trends that I’ve received that I am not currently posting, in case it sheds some light on why some of your stories may not be being published. :)

1. “Today, I was going to do something productive, but ended up doing something online/taking a nap. MLIAA”

2. “Today, I came on MLIAA. MLIAA.”

3. “Today, I ate ______. (It was tastey.) MLIAA.”

4. “Today, my story on MLIA/MLIAA wasn’t posted. MLIAA.”

5. “Today, I didn’t want to go to school/work. So I didn’t/I did anyway. MLIAA.”

Occasionally I’ll post stories like these, but usually only if they have an element of originality in them. I receive many stories like the above every day, so they unfortunately get far too repetitive to post them all. So, before you send me comments asking why your stories weren’t posted, please look here to see if it answers your question.

Today, I can’t remember a website, so I’m asking some one. What’s the name of the website that it’s when people overhear things in New York. I feel people forget things a lot. MLIAA
JFGI.

Today, I wondered if I could fool the creator by posting an untrue or copied story and then I thought this person did a great thing by bringing this site to all of us disgruntled MLIA people. I didn’t want to be mean and unappreciative so I decided not to do it. MLIAA
Thank you. :)

How do you “like” posts? Is it something to do with facebook? If so, that kind of sucks.

No, it doesn’t have to do with facebook, it has to do with tumblr (the site this is hosted on). If you have a tumblr account, you can “like” posts, and they’ll show up on your Liked Posts list so that you can view them whenever you want. It also shows up in the notes underneath the story.

I just wanted to tell whoever posted 1176 that there is a song “Tom Tom the Turkey” which my mom used to sing at Thanksgiving-time when I was little.

187.) Today, I rode a bike. MLIAA.

I got the following in a comment and I don’t know the answer to this question, so if anyone else knows and wants to answer (even though I realize this is the wrong site) feel free.

How long does it take for an MLIA to be published/deleted?

his site SUX
Whose site sux?!

“I wish we could favorite submissions.”

You can, if you create a tumblr account. You can “like” submissions, and those will turn up in your Like list for you to revisit whenever you want. :)

Ok well. Here I am. With my usually average life. Why the shit aren’t my things posted? I personally think some things are funny, even though I’m average. So c’mon. Just let them be submitted.

I’ve gotten messages like this more than once, and the problem is that I have no idea which stories are yours; so unless you refer to which stories you’re talking about, I can’t tell you why they weren’t posted. In the future, if anyone honestly wishes to know why their stories weren’t posted, it might help if you let me know which one(s) you’re talking about, and maybe I can help you out. :)

nobody fucking cares about and of your retarted stories
Re-tarted stories sound delicious. :) Does that mean they were tarted twice?
Apparently nobody cares about proper spelling either. :( But judging by the number of fans and followers this site has generated, I’d have to disagree with the statement.

Hi,
I used to love MLIA, and I’ve been reading it for ages. Every single post used to be hilarious. This is a good idea after it all got fake and stupid etc, but the thing is, the posts are so focused on being average they aren’t actually that funny. is it possible to put in some posts that make people laugh? :)

Thank you for your feedback, however I would like to explain that this site isn’t necessarily supposed to be funny; it is intended for averageness. The thing I personally like about these stories is that they are mostly relatable. A seemingly unfunny story can still make us chuckle when we realize that we’re not the only ones who get embarrassed for falling even when no one sees us, or that there are many other people like us who feel awkward when walking toward someone else in a lonely hallway. Other times, the humor can come from the irony of the situation: when you’re expecting something funny or exciting to happen, and then it doesn’t. I may not openly laugh at many, but I do chuckle at quite a few of the stories that are sent through. And then I also enjoy the ones that don’t make me chuckle, but are just so plainly average that I can’t help but post them; after all, that’s right in the title of the site. To be perfectly honest, I don’t get many blatantly “funny” posts - and I suspect the reasoning is because people who are fans of this blog recognize that that is not the purpose of this site. If you prefer hilarious posts and are sick of the cliche MLIAs, there are other sites I could recommend to you, such as IMMD (It Made My Day) or IWA (It Was Awesome). :)

Hi there!
I’ve just created a new site called “Defining Moments’ and was wondering if you could maybe post a link of your news and updates thing just to spread the word a bit?
