A new breed of disaster film...
If you are anything like me, then you are a film fanatic, sometimes bordering on being a film snob. There are some genres you love, some you put in the “not so much” column, and those that you will absolutely, under no circumstances whatsoever be caught dead (or alive) watching. Well…that’s kind of the ground I dwell on. But lately, Hollywood has struggled to put out films that really get me excited. Don’t get me wrong…they put out “entertainment”, but it is at most a momentary distraction.

Regretless Choices
There was absolutely no mistaking it. The man in the topcoat that got into the limo DEFINITELY dropped it. What “it” was though, he had no idea. Martin Stackhouse had been on the streets long enough to recognize something while not giving away that he had seen something, and then found a way to capitalize on it. Living on the streets, that kind of skill was necessary to survive. Fortunately, this was the time of day when there weren’t many pedestrians or other traffic that might come by to scoop up what was about to be his. Martin stayed sitting against the wall he called “home” and waited a good minute after the well-dressed man’s vehicle passed to make sure he was gone before getting up and casually walking over to the gutter where the item was dropped before crouching down to fiddle with his shoes and pick up the item and casually stroll around the block before returning home. Being homeless had its advantages in cases like this, because who wants to get close to someone who looks and dresses (and smells) like him. People generally gave him as wide a berth as possible, which was perfectly fine as he had experienced that kind of treatment all his life. As he rounded the corner, he heard a plane fly over from the nearby airport, and it made him remember what he had, and what he had lost.
