if I were to walk the line . . .

As I was washing my face tonight, getting ready for bed, I asked myself a very random question: "If someone were to make a movie about your life, what would they currently focus on?" What a weird question, I thought. My life is not interesting, so they probably wouldn't be making a movie about it. But then I realized that if they were going to make a movie, they would pick one aspect of my life and zoom in, making it more dramatic than it really is . . . for example, in Walk the Line, the producers decided to focus on Johhny and June's relationship. They could have focused on his spirituality, his music, anything really, but that's what they chose. So . . . I'm still pondering this question. What would be the main theme of my movie?

Any thoughts on this? What would the movie about your life be focused on?

I someone were to make a movie about my life, it would focus on my relationship with Heather. I would be played by Brad Pitt. Angelina Jolie would play Heather. The movie would be called Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
