Or life could be like City of Angels where you become mortal, to be with Meg Ryan, only to have her turned into a pancake by a truck. Of course, that will only send you into a dark place that makes you want to research snuff films by riding around in an ambulance with Tom Sizemore. After stealing a few cars, the natural progression is to steal historic documents, like the U.S. Constitution. Of course, you hit bottom and realize it's time to clean up your act and get a respectable job, like say, a weatherman, but soon become bored with this life. So you buy a chopper and set yourself on fire.
Life could be like that. Couldn't it?
