Can you blame artistic license?…..

I think not.

My Life: The Movie, Act 1, Scene 1, Take 6,347

Genre: horror.

The Tell-Tale Heart

You have heard of “Lazy Eye”. Well this is a case of “Lazy Life”.

I look in the mirror and I think, “Who is that guy? That’s not me.”

You sure, I always feel like the stunt double.

there’s a line in the urban fantasy “Dead Beat” where the hero steps out to confront the baddy in a Chicago street and down the block there’s the sound on an ice cream truck-“The movie of my life must have a really cheap budget”

Cosmo seems to enjoy life, even if he is a bit disorganized.

where’s my Oscar??

“The world is just a ‘B’ movie

About my life and times.

The world is just a ‘B’ movie,

And I keep forgetting my lines…"

No Cosmo you were not miscast, the problem is you are just a bit part in everybody else’s life story.

More like ‘missed the boat’, Cosmo.

He was miscast… with hook, line, and sinker.

I definitely was… it should have been Tyrone Power

When it’s a cast of thousands, most are just extras. And get edited out of any closeups.
