Received some bad news about a close family member today. Made me contemplate whether, at the end of the proverbial day, this is a worthwhile philosophy to live one's life by.

Confessions of an Oversexed Overeating Jackass. Yeah, that book will fly off the shelves

"People Like Me More When I'm Drunk" does have a nice ring to it

I am extremely happy with my life, but absolutely not.

Yes.

And an even better movie than the interesting book.

On the whole, this. But I think could make a pretty solid book of short stories.

Hell yeah in a weird quirky kinda way.

But I've met people who've had 100x more interesting lives than me.

Probably not. But then again 99% of good folks wouldn't be, either. A book on Charles Manson would be interesting, but that's not what we want. I feel if you have made an impact, positively, on those around you, and people will generally say that you are a "good person", then you're way ahead of the game.
Just set out every day to do something worthwhile, whether it is to help someone in need, fix or improve something around your house, go above and beyond at your work, you are sort of writing your own pages of success that would help so many others by leading by example.
Sorry to hear about your family member and we hope for the best.

Honestly, yes.

My life has been ridiculous. Ridiculously good, ridiculously bad, and ridiculously weird.

Parts of mine have already, the book meshed with the one I'm writing will be pretty interesting.

Title of the book should be Check Them Knuckles by Hammertime.

Unfortunately, mine would probably read more like a manifesto

My biography would be boring. The fictitious version I tell people would be awesome. Just the sheer amount of women I have lied about banging alone would make a great book.

About 5 years of it would. The rest would be fairly boring.

Absolutely. Except the past 10 years. It could be summed up in a chapter
