I don't know why I'm devoting an lj post to a meh Will Smith movie.

The brand new movie theater over by Spes's house had a deal with $1 movie tickets, popcorn and soda, so we went to one f the matinees there yesterday and saw The Pursuit of Happyness. Which, you know, nothing special but enjoyable enough, and we left the place feeling okay. Except now it's a day later and the longer I have to think it over, the angrier I am getting in retrospect. Because, man, when you are completely flat broke with no job and no chance f getting one for months, and you are sole person responsible for a five year kid you can't afford to feed or house? That is the exact point at which a six month unpaid internship with only a 5% chance of ever leading to a job at all becomes a luxury you really, really can't afford. It's not fair, and I know we're all supposed to buy into the hollywood idea of never giving up on your dream, but God. That's really almost criminally irresponsible.
