I leave the party...

...at 3am, alone, thank God.

Damn right. And I realize now that it's been exactly 365 days since my mother called me from San Diego to tell me that I had just become an uncle.

Happy Birthday Victoria.

The little bit of time I've got to spend with her makes me want to be a better person. I may not get to be around her all that often, but seeing her reminds me of how much she needs a loving family and the fact that she deserves the best.

I think it goes hand in hand with the fact that my entire family deserves the best, and that's what I'll give them. 110%. I know I won't have to worry about not walking, so I'll run until there's no more road in front of me to get them exactly that.

Oh, and if you don't care, then why are you still reading? Similar intentions? Yeah, I bet.
