There is a movie from 1998 called The Truman Show. The movie follows one man’s life and is being
aired constantly. The man is unaware that he is being taped and is not allowed
legitimate human interactions. If that was my life, I hope they would not air
everything. I hope they take just 22 minutes and call it a sitcom. There would
be some amusingly sad moments. There is the I finished a crossword dance, the
randomly singing into the mirror, workout goofs, singing eye of the tiger while
working out, and many more silly moments.
I know my life would not be aired as a drama. Frankly, it is
not exciting. Where is the drama in me writing this? Where is the drama in me
completing the daily crossword? Will he come up with a five letter word for was
lame? There is no romantic drama involved in my life. No, will they won’t they
moments. I am not facing some life or death situation which turns out to be a
simple case of gas.
One of the few gifts I have is that for being snarky. That and the ability to actually pee into the toilet bowl rather than the floor, but that won’t make it on air.
