| A while back, while livin' in New York

| | wasn't a woman he was after, but a man.
|
| City, I became acquainted with this guy
| |
| | Vince had the guy positively enthralled
|
| named Harry Vincent. He was somethin'
| |
| | in his conversation. After a few moments,
|
| else. Ol' Vince liked to show off a lot,
| |
| | Vince pats him on the shoulder, smoothly
|
| as shown by his daily food regimen of
| |
| | palms a business card into his hand,
|
| booze and loose city girls. It was pretty
| |
| | winks with a sly smile, and then walks
|
| tough on the ego hangin' around him; I
| |
| | back toward us. He saw the look on our
|
| had recently started my so-called writing
| |
| | faces as he sat. All he said was "Just
|
| career and the cash wasn't rollin' in
| |
| | business." And that was that.
|
| like I had planned. When Vince and I
| |
| | Alright, he probably did have some sort

| would go to the local bistro, he'd
| |
| | of secret. Charisma or somethin'. But
|
| usually surround himself with a sensual
| |
| | everything he did that night fell on one
|
| panorama of mouth-watering full course
| |
| | thing. It wasn't his alcohol level. It
|
| treatment. I, on the other hand, stuck to

| | wasn't the smile. It wasn't even his
|
| the crusty French bread, topping it with
| |
| | persuasive conversation. It was his
|
| cold, unspreadable butter. He'd drink
| |
| | business card.
|
| some of the finest grape nectar your

| | Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying
|
| palate could ever reach, while I would
| |
| | that a card made a difference between

| |
| | sale or bail, but all that talk, all that
|
| Ok, maybe he was a bit of a jerk, I'll
| |
| | smile, and all that swagger, would have
|
| admit to that. So why did I stick around
| |
| | been to waste if it wasn't closed by the
|
| him so much? Well, he wouldn't really rub
| |
| | exchange of a business contact card. It
|
| things in, so he wasn't a complete
| |
| | didn't even dawn on me how important it
|
| butthead. But the allure of being in his
| |
| | was until I noticed how many people do
|
| company was that I learned something new
| |
| | exactly what he did, sell themselves, and
|
| EVERY time.
| |
| | then say "Here, let me call your cell
|
| See, Vince was successful. Pretty damn
| |
| | phone so you can get my number." Business
|
| successful. And I'd love to say there was
| |
| | cards are free, what's so hard about
|
| a secret to his success, but there
| |
| | carrying them around?
|
| wasn't. He would never tell you if you'd
| |
| | A few days later, I meet Vince for lunch.
|
| ask him, but all you had to do was pay
| |
| | I figured that while splurging on
|
| attention. It wasn't even really what he
| |
| | restaurantal delights I'd be able to get
|
| did; he would do the same things most
| |
| | the full story on the other night's
|
| people in his field did. It was how he
| |
| | events. As I pull up, I see Vince leaning
|
| did it. His style of doing it. Let me try
| |
| | on a nice little whip of a sports car. As
|
| to explain.
| |
| | I open my door, he pockets his cell phone
|
| It was guy's night out and we were at a
| |
| | in movie star fashion, putting up his sly
|
| pretty high class 'bar' of sorts. A few
| |
| | smile in the process. I say, "You're
|
| friends, some women we had met, and of
| |
| | kidding." He says "Would I?" That's all I
|
| course, Vince. We were havin' a good
| |
| | needed to know. Son of a gun closed a
|
| time, havin' a few drinks, and pretty
| |
| | sale guaranteeing him a nice upfront
|
| much enjoying our bachelor status. Then,
| |
| | chunk along with recurring commissions
|
| right in the middle of conversation,
| |
| | through to the next seven months. The guy
|
| Vince gets up, winks at us, and says
| |
| | at the bar bought in. Vince now drives
|
| "Opportunity knocks." Everyone was left
| |
| | faster. I asked him what he did. His
|
| confused. Me, on the other hand, knowing
| |
| | exact words: "He liked my card."
|
| how Vince works, just kept my cool. I

| | Vince built his career on the design of

| figured he had found someone that caught
| |
| | his business card and style of his
|
| his eye, more than likely a woman. So we
| |
| | exchange. It was his trademark

| all eye him. And to my surprise, it
