Thanks Jannie and JD!

If your life were a movie right now, what celebrity would get the lead role and what type of movie would it be? A drama? Documentary? Comedy? Science Fiction? Action? Thriller?

If my life, right now, were a movie it would be a tragedy¹ and based on personality and comedic likeness, Ellen Degeneres would play me.  I know, I know, she’s not as tall as I am, but there’s make-up for that, otherwise, perfect match.  It would go something like this:

Synopsis: For the past 17 years of doing the 9 to 5 grind at less than fulfilling jobs, the frustrated and wanna-be writer, Valerie (played by Ellen Degeneres) decides to take the advice of friends and submit her work to several literary agents.  After many attempts, rejects, no response and one false hope, self-publishing seems like her only option, that is, before she is introduced to the world of blogging.

Soon Valerie finds herself swept up into Blogosphere with not just one, but five blogs.  Testing the waters at what comes naturally to her, she decides to write incognito as a wisecracking blogger and quickly gains the following of a small group of loyal readers who demand more.

Meanwhile, her real world is in jeopardy when D (played by Will Smith)² stumbles upon a blog that seems to be an open book of his life and demands to know the person behind the name.  Watch Valerie in this hysterical comedy go to any lengths as she tries to keep her two worlds from colliding and destroying the house that Jack built.

Now, it’s your turn, maybe you don’t have a synopsis right now, consider this a meme,³ but if your life were a movie, what celebrity would get the lead role? According to this site, Ellen isn’t even an option for me based on looks, click here to see my celebrity look-alikes.

I really have to upload some new pictures of myself.
