Watch The Skeptic

Robby Corkin is a pessimist. He doesn't believe that the world is a magical place. Instead, he thinks that only people who are lucky can ever achieve the kind of success he wishes he had. He goes to a state fair with his girlfriend when all of the sudden he notices a hot air balloon. Something about the balloon reminds him of the renaissance in ancient times from a class that he took. He is inspired to build a flying machine of his own and turns to technology to feed his desire for feeling and meaning in a dark world filled with apathy.
