it was so much fun. it s like i ve got access to this. there was never a question. it s fun all the time. then it s like, well, this sucks. this is not fun. you know what i mean? not only that, now instead of working alone, chris was knee deep in a family business. i m not going to candy coat this. we ve had some hellacious fights. it s why most of the office doors don t have doors on them. we ve had some epic blowouts. we re not a lot alike. it s always rough. he doesn t listen to me a lot when it comes to that stuff. it wasn t working and chris needed an out. he found it in the form of some machinery sitting idolly in a factory. it s time to take this from a business to business entity and create something that has our attitude, our flair. so he started his own business. note pads and teen.
