At some point in my mid twenties I was on the receiving end of a traffic violation. Feeling the matter was unjust I decided to fight it in court
I had heard that athletes before big games would listen to songs to psyche them up. People trying to do the impossible "programming" their minds by reading books of others overcoming adversity or watching those kind of movies. Somehow in my young mind, beating this officer in court translated (literally I suppose) to watching The Mr. Blonde torture scene from Reservoir Dogs.
I watched the chapter on my DVD everyday. I'd watch in the morning before work. I'd watch after work before bed. I recorded the audio onto a CD and listened to it while driving places. The day of the trial I watched it over and over and over again right up until I left for the courthouse.
In the end, I did win my hearing.
It's quite possible I just might of without subjecting myself to this repepetive senseless violence.
Or not...
I don't know.
But my take away is... if you get in a legal entanglement, be warned if you decided to do what I did.
It takes a heavy toll.
