My Sitcom Fantasy

I often wish there was a way to turn my life into a sitcom. I don't mean create a sitcom based off of my life, although that would be wonderful too. I mean literally turn my life into a sitcom. I'd have a writing staff and everything, and even though encounter hardships and real world pain, I would still be able to find something to always laugh about.
There would ample foreshadowing and reoccurring plot points.. I'd be Ted or Ross or Sam or Jd or any of those twenty-something male leads who is just living his life day by day. I'd have a Robin or a Rachel or a Dianne or an Elliot, and even though we wouldn't have an actual relationship, everything would work out in the end, and id always have that person there. 
I guess I could create a sitcom based on my life, but it wouldn't be the same as living it. I want to learn a life lesson every day through a series of circumstances beyond my control. Granted, I do learn life lessons due to reasons beyond my control on a regular basis, but they aren't situational comedies, they're real events and its hard to find humor in that.
