Seems awkward. I'd probably have to blow up my brain drawing a hypothetical scenario on a peice of paper of 2D space and trying to work out how, if I was X object, how I would move (or be expected to move) in relation to other objects.

It's a wave! No it's a beam! It's both a beam and a wave!
I'm one of those people who categorise things into one box or another. And I'd probably say it is (who am I to say such things about time and space?). I just find such a thing works quite nicely.
Beside, if mass generates gravity, and gravity can only pull mass, and a black hole is a super-dense, super-gravity-magnifying-time-bending-object that stops light escaping, then light must have a mass (a mass so small it's practically unreadable but due to the sheer power of the 'black' hole is magnified enough to pull it in).
Besides, energy needs a storage medium. Most common universal medium is typically... yeah. Which implies something about energy.
Besides, I don't build these theories so people can agree with them (I rarely expect people to do so). The real theory currently pre-occupying my mind (which I think is actually, as strange as it sounds, more important than light or physics at the moment) is what is luck and what influences it?
And don't give that 'be more observant of opportunities' crud that people are churning out. Of course being observant gives you more resources but luck isn't defined by 'resources' or opportunities. If that was the case I'd be lucky simply for having a magnifying glass and a sherlock holmes persona (and admit it - how many lucky people are like this?). I mean, how exactly do you observe the lottery anyway?
If it was observation I would be pretty lucky by now. But I'm not. Oh horribly not so.
