Rob A McDonald’s, Get Featured in A Promotion

Some people are more dedicated than others. Or more stupid, depending upon how you look at it. If all it takes to appear in a McDonald’s promotion is to rob one at gun point and then spend 12 year in prison, then Tamien Bain is one smart man.

After having held up a McDonald’s in 1994 when he was a teenager 14 years ago, Bain spent 12 years in prison. Now he’s among five finalists in a MySpace BigMacChant jingle competition for the Big Mac. While he was in prison, he took a liking to music and now, at 29, he just may see some glory after his 12 years of hard work.

Now that’s dedication.

The saddest sentence in the English language isn’t “I’m alone” — it’s “I’m used to it” spoken by someone over 65 with a full photo album, a family that calls on holidays, and a Sunday routine that looks from the outside like contentment but from the inside feels like a life that has been carefully organized around the assumption that no one is coming

Psychology says the boomer men now entering their late 60s and 70s are carrying a specific kind of unhappiness that has almost no cultural language — they were raised to provide, protect and endure, and most of them did all three brilliantly, and the cruelest reward for a lifetime of quiet service is discovering that the role was the entire identity and without it there’s a man underneath who was never introduced to anyone including himself
