I&#8217;ve been out of it recently, so I may not seem super excited. Maybe a little low key. But know that having you around is some of the best stuff in my life. I can&#8217;t ask for a better gift than you all, as cheesy and silly as that is.<br \/>\nJust don&#8217;t call me &#8220;birthday boy.&#8221; That shit is kind of old.
