Excuse me Mr. Phelps

Has anyone ever told you that you look like Michael Phelps? Yes... yes... yes... yes... yes... I must hear that question 10 times a day, but thank you.

I have never been told that I look like anyone so much in my life! . Four years ago I got it a little bit during the Athens olympics, but it was tolerable. Now it's everyday, all day. Whispers as people walk by, rubbernecking by passers-by, and that hideous question over and over.

Don't get me wrong, it's flattering, I even feel kind of like a star, but let's face it I'm not him and I don't have 8 gold medals, and I don't make millions... damn it!

I'm a struggling filmmaker that hopes that Mr. Phelps is cast in an action movie so that I can play his double. lol. Seriously.

Working in large crowds is fun though cause I feel like I should be signing autographs and taking pictures, which I actually do sometimes. I think I'll just start saying that he's my cousin and that I taught him how to swim. lol.

Michael Phelps look-alike out!
