I watched this movie tonight, and while parts of me resonated with these characters, something else became apparent: the american dream is very real. Here in these United States there is a great divide between parents and children, as well as their ideals relative to success. Whatever I thought to be true about my own family and situation is far less tense than what these kids have to endure...
Today was a good day. I booked two screenings (a feat that seems miniscule but isn't), we did a photoshoot with the most precious gentleman ever - and more importantly - my team mate Myra got engaged! Silly. But the marvelous insight into that situation and the discovery I've found in this atmosphere as a whole is that there truly exists a great brand of guy out there; the kind that cares about more than making uncool things seem cool (fixed gears, mustaches, etc.) and having beers shotgunned into their filthy mouths. It's encouraging. It makes me want to be a better version of myself in some foreign way.
