Default If a book was written about your life.....

Would it be a best seller, or a flop?

Another words, do you lead an intrigueing and spectacular life, or is it an average "Run Of The Mill" type of life? smile.gif

My book about my childhood would be intersting......moving around through different countries defecting from russia and running from comminism + my hoodlum years....but the last 4 years or so would ruin the book.......it's so boring i'm falling asleep living it

Hmmm... interesting premise.

I think the most interesting thing in my book would be the stories about all the bodily injuries I've injured. I think it'd be a comedy it that respect. If I told you a good one you'd know what I mean...

It was September of '95, I'd been home from school for about 2 hours. My little sister, 10 at the time, needed a large stone to paint in here grade 4 class for an art project. Our driveway happened to be unpaved the half closest to the dirt road. So out to the shed I went and found a 16" metal stake and a sledge hammer. I planned on sinking the stake beside a large stone in the drive, then prying it out of the ground. Before I had a chance to even start, my mom popped her head out the front door and told me to put everything away before I hurt myself. So back I drudged to the shed, but I was distracted by a little white ball before I made it there. A golf ball, begging to be driven, laid on the back cement patio. So, I laid down the stake, picked up the golf ball; laid the sledge hammer over my shoulder like a baseball bat, I bounced the ball of the patio and let her rip... Sort of. The ball bounced off the edge of the hammer as it passed by, ricocheted off the patio and hit me just below my left eye brow. I was slightly leaning forward due to the weight of the hammer as I swung it downwards. One hospital trip, 3 stitches and 2 days missed from school later- I have a funny story.

I guess it would be a flop... Damn my life is so dull.

The only thing that's worth reading is the thing I write.

Stories, false documentary, movies script.

The Squirrels of Doom... that was something... but french people here are not really common...

"****(shoot) I led a life you can write a book on
Sex murder and mayhem, romance for the street
Man and I tell ya it'll be a best seller"--Jay-Z

I guess mine wouldn't be as good as Jay's but it would be pretty exciting anyway... I've done lots of stupid stuff as well, although most of it would consist of watching cartoons and wrestling, and playing videogames...

my college years (97-01) were exactly like that Fox show Undeclared... it's uncanny... it seems exciting enough to write a sitcom about, though, as much as i loved the show too, it got canned. frown

If my life were a book it would be hard to read, if it was a movie it'd be like the dennis rodman movie! Too many stages in ma life, all of them equally fun. Also I'm a crazy motha facker so I do crazy things, every day is a cool lil short story lol!
