He just wanted to.<br /><br />He was not happy that he couldn't even get an interview. One of the few doors that closed on him. Perhaps that shaped him into the go-getter he is today... <br /><br />Nah. He's been like that since he was a toddler, climbing the refrigerator shelves to get to a treat purposely put out of his reach.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-40558627283612198832016-09-29T21:24:04.349-05:002016-09-29T21:24:04.349-05:00I'll relay your congrats.
