Show Me a Hero

I lived in a public housing complex from age 1-8, during basically the entire 80s, as a child of a single mother with a father that wanted nothing to do with me, and whom I've never actually met despite the fact that he lives like 25 minutes from me.

Nearly all the other people in the public housing were also single mothers with dependent children.

I know them feels. I grew up in a household with a single parent with kind of a crappy job, so I lived in a lower-class poor neighborhood. Almost every single one of my friends was either being raised by a single mom or a latin family. Being poor sucks. It did however give me a resolute motivation to not be poor when I grew up, and now I have endless amounts of free time and money. But I digress...

I wish HBO and Netflix would sign a deal already.

I watched this over the weekend, thinking "hey I missed that and Simon is awesome, let me give it a shot". Jesus what a fucking crushing watch. The end was just difficult. But it was very well done and Oscar Isaac is amazing.
