Katie is 19 today and it's supposed to be a happy day, but I can't fake that it is. I can't be there.. it seems that way for anything important, I'm just never there. I'm trying to change that and come hell or high water, I'll never miss another.

I had to call her like 6 or 7 times before she picked up the phone so I could wish her Happy Birthday. I wanted to be the first so I set my alarm to wake up a few mins before 2AM for the time difference but I was so tired I set it for the PM and so it didnt go off at midnight so I missed it. I woke up @ 6 and called her(6 or 7 times before she picked up) and sang a really wicked happy birthday written and produced by yours truly. Come to find out someone else sang to her already, not an original version, but sung none the less.

So today I was the first person to call 6 or 7 times to wake her from her sleep to sing a totally original rendition of happy birthday for her. Something I am proud to be the first to do.

Yes I know, I'm a loser.
