You're too young, and I'm too well hung, but tonight I'm gonna rock you, tonight

About Me

My name is Blaine. I live in Globe.....voluntarily

I'll keep it short and sweet. Family. Religion. Friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business. When opportunity knocks, you don’t want to be driving to some maternity hospital or sitting in some phoney-baloney church or synagogue.
