I’m Close to Stabbing You with a Sharpened Pencil Man.
I would consider myself pretty laid back. It takes a lot to rattle my cage, and not just in the business world, I mean in my personal life. I am so very much the type to take a step outside my own world and think, “Well, why are you acting like this? What is the…
