From what I've learned (though this may apply more to my personal walk with Christ, but I think it applies here)...
In the Commandments, when it says 'use the Lord's name in vain,' it meant using God's name in a way that did not bring glory to Him, or using His name for something that did not represent God at all. For example, say you had a charity that said it was Christian, but all the money went to somebody's bank account for themselves. That would be using God's name in vain.
I think it's a bad thing to use God's name in the way you stated, especially since you're pretty much using His name as a curse word, which means you're lowering the name down to that level.
I think the question you need to ask yourself is, "Is the only time I ever talk about God, when something bad happens to me? Or am I using his name to show how great He is?"
Jesus said the commandments were summed up into "Love God, and love others." If you're bringing glory to His name, that would be loving God. Otherwise we're not living for Him as much as we should be.
Just some thoughts.
