So what does this mike Rossi guy do for a living? Plan weddings or something?
It seems like we have some new people posting lately. So clearly our posts on Facebook and Phillymag.com are getting some attention. So keep up the goo work.
O have to admit that even I am feeling a little sorry for Mike. Not for what we are doing but just for his life in general.
Imagine a man who is getting old. Probably reached that age where he can't get it up anymore and satisfy his wife. Decides he needs to get into shape to increase his blood flow. He retroactively makes running the Boston Marathon his lifelong dream - at the ripe old age of 45. And after 18 months and a grueling 1000 miles he realizes that it will never happen. He is simply too old and out of shape to qualify.
But he's already promised his family he will take them and maybe even has the hotel booked already. His only shot of making his children proud of him is slipping away fast. The older he gets the harder it will be to get a BQ. So he has to cheat to impress his family. How sad is that?
Because overall he's got no other skills. DJing is barely a skill. You press play on the computer. How hard is that? He can't play an instrument. He can't paint or draw. He can't sing. No talents whatsoever.
Except the talent to scheme and plan. Let's face, he did pull this whole thing off. He cheated and got away with it. Then he ran the Boston Marathon and his children looked up to him with admiration, just like they do their school principal. He pulled off the running caper of the year.
But then he just couldn't keep his mouth shut. He was so proud of getting away with this that he just had to go viral and bask in the glow of people calling him "father of the year". And now the truth has come out that he is actually the most despicable humans on the planet.
His kids probably have been told by their friends at school what he did. But they don't dare mention it for fear of being punished. His wife probably won't look him in the eyes anymore and they haven't had sex since this whole thing started, and who knows how long that will last. They are probably even teetering on the verge of divorce at this point.
And poor Mike just can't bring himself to be humble and beg for forgiveness. Imagine what an empty shell of a man he has become. He has to live with this huge ego that won't allow him to do the right thing. Even for the good of his family. What a shame.
Yeah, maybe it is time to feel sorry for Mike.
