Ah...

So this is what it's really about...

You people think I 'took advantage' of some stupid, naive 16 year old girl...

Interesting.

Well, none of you could be further from the truth.

I think what you are really suffering from is the shock of learning that someone found us interesting, and provocative.

Forgive me Jeff, but isn't being 'interesting' and 'provacative' what sells tapes and dvds?

Now you are all backtracking, trying to create reasons why you ignored me in the first place, now that someone sees potential for a very interesting story, about two very interesting people.

What you will learn, when our show debuts, is that your preconceived notions about Mike 'taking advantage' of his wife as a teen- are all completely wrong.

Of course, we, and the producers of the show, will look forward to garnering ratings from you, which will get the advertising paid, and give us nice hefty checks.

To take all of your notions of me being some pervert who abuses his wife, and who 'molests' people...and to dump those ideas in the trash where they belong...

...I look forward to this.

The key to this post was getting interest, in order to get a job.

This goal was achieved.

What YOU people may have learned is that you let your egos get in the way of signing a very lucrative business opportunity.

It's ironic as Hell, and I think you just have to laugh.

A guy who runs a company whose motto is 'Whores Degraded Daily' is calling me, a guy in a happy 9 year marriage, who doesn't cheat on his wife, or 'abuse' her in any way...

This guy is calling me a pervert, and a molester.

Wow.

I guess that's just what happens when your ego gets in the way of seizing a great business opportunity.

You come up with excuses like that, I guess.

Anyways, I guess no one is going to close this thread, even though it isn't useful anymore.

Hell, I don't know, maybe it's a good read.

It sure is dramatic.

You've got lost love, a man struggling to make sense of things and coming to terms with them, anger, humor, sadness, heck, I guess it could make an interesting play too...

I'm not 'ashamed' of this thread at all.

They can leave it on here until I run for office in the later 2000's, if they want.

What it shows is a man learning things by asking questions, and learning to define his direction by the responses he gets.

We never learn, unless we ask. Asking can make us look foolish. Looking foolish helps us grow.

If all goes well, and we don't get stiffed in the negotiations, we should be able to make an announcement soon.

However, like I said a million times, a thing done wrong simply isn't worth doing.

Thus, if the TV show contract isn't what we want, we will walk away from that too.

We will be 'pimped' by no one.

If it does go through, and you get to hear my wife speak, which all of you will tune in to hear...

...you will have your preconceived notions turned on their heads.

No one who meets us, and gets to know us, thinks of us, or me, the way you guys do.

But hey, I guess coming up with excuses after the fact is human.

In reality, you let us get away, and that bothers you.

When this thread grows to over 2,000 views, maybe you'll see what I mean. We could have made you some money, ya dorks...you just let your anger at me, for refusing to be 'pimped'- get in the way.
