the weird ways I've been honest

Was thinking about how when I was younger I had this weird thing about trying to be honest, in spite of my delinquency. Example I remember going to see the movie Sid and Nancy when it came out. I may have been 12... My mother dropped me off at the movie theaters in Costa Mesa next to Niguchi Gardens. The gardens remain the theatre is gone. Used to be a Jerry's Deli there as well in that plaza.

So I go up and ask for a ticket for the movie, not really thinking anything about being denied this experience. Needless to say that was not gonna happen. I think that was the only time I got turned down for that type of exchange. 

The clip of Pat Smear from Decline of a Western Civilization... Wondering how long it's been since I saw that flick .. which I think I was 12 when I saw that one.. maybe 14.. so foundational...
