For a couple of years now, there have been many things that I’ve wanted try, but due to procrastination I don’t always have the time to do them. One of those things is to become ambidextrous. Now, you’d probably be wondering at this point, “why would this guy want to learn how to ambidextrous, doesn’t he…
