Spring of 1996. Pretty depressed from losing my college scholarship the semester before and having to drop classes this semester due to not attending, needed a place to hide for the 4 hours I was supposed to be in class before I went to work. Ducked into the dollar theater and bought a ticket for Leaving Las Vegas. I'm the only one in the theater for a 10:45am showing and by the end of it, I just sat there numb, staring ahead, unable to move, questioning every decision I made in life.
The kid cleaning up the theater didn't even bother me and I sat there until the next showing. Got up halfway through and got to work on time. I remember just thinking for the first time, being an adult could suck bad with the wrong decisions.
Still a movie I visit from time to time, if only to go back to that moment, which at the time seemed the worst, but looking back was a pretty simple time.
