First off -- haha, I like it.
Second, it reminds me of something I read, but I can't remember the exact quote, and I'd be grateful to anyone who can figure it out. I'm pretty sure it was Vonnegut, and I think it may have been from Breakfast of Champions. The gist was that most stories are misleading because they teach people that life has a plot -- that it has major storylines, minor storylines, and so on. The author (Vonnegut?) then says that really life is just a bunch of moments, each as important or unimportant as the next.
It doesn't quite sound like BoC unless it's from the self-insert scene, but it's definitely in the main themes of Slaughterhouse Five
