I don’t know why but some of my favorite moments, is annoying my youngest daughter.  There’s just something about the sound of “No daddy!!!” that makes you laugh in the inside.  One of the times that I annoy her is when we stop for school, and I asker are you ready and she goes yes, then I ask are you sure and she goes yes, then I go are you positive and of course she replies with yes, then I go on and on with are you positively positive and are you really sure, to the point that she snaps at me and yes “YES DADDY”.  Now I know I know its horrible, but I just cant help it.  Another time that I annoy her, is when we went trick or treating and she started to eat some of her candy, and I asker “Ryleigh, why are you eating my candy” and she would always reply, “ its not your candy its my candy” and I would act like she didn’t say anything and would say “I cant believe you are eating my candy”  then she would reply with “ its not your candy daddy its my candy” I would then say “ youre going to make me cry, eating my candy”.  Of course she gives me crap too, mostly with her mom, but it is one of the things that I am most passionate about.  I mean it’s a tough job but somebody has to do it.  Poor little person.  I even do that annoying thing about twisting the things that she says.

2nd passionate

The second thing that I am passionate about is playing in a band.  Now there is just something about conversing with a bunch of people and coordinating sounds to make a song, that I love.  I play drums in my band, and have dabbled in bass a little bit.  I love the beat.  Almost love the beat a little too much.  It affects my song choices horribly.  A lot of the time I don’t care about the lyrics of the song, as long as the singer has good tone and flows with the music.  It’s the drum section for me that tells me if it’s a good song or not, combined with good guitar of course.  The singer has always been that person that if you were slim down the band, hed be the first to go in my mind.  Well as far as the band im in goes anyway (because we don’t have one ).  Now there are 2 singers that stick out in my mind that I do like and that is Maynard James Kenan of Tool, A perfect circle, and Puscifer and Les Claypool of Primus.  Maynard is kind of the sweet but dark sound, while Les is the I don’t give a damn sound and les’ songs are very quirky, which makes me love them.  The bass though is what really shines in his songs though, even though there are some times that the drums just do an awesome thing.  Drums and bass go hand and hand though.  The guitar in Primus though isn’t bad, its just that it Is a lot more simple compared to the bass and drums.  Oh and yes les does both bass and vocals.  His style of music is more of a groovy feel

3rd passionate

Helping others is my third passionate.  Now this one is a little iffy of late, because it seems that the more that I help people, the more that I get fucked by them.  I still do it, which is why its still in my passionate list, but its dwindling down a little bit.  One of the sad things about me helping people is that I will go way out of my way to help the person, a lot of the time getting nothing in return and making stupid decisions about helping the person, for instance there was a person at OTC that I helped out.  His vehicle was broke down and he needed help to OReiley to get some part for his vehicle so he could get back on the road, well I gave him a ride, it was cold outside so I didn’t want him to have to walk.  Well when we get to OReiley, he says that he is waiting for a lady to get him the money so that he can get the parts to fix the vehicle, but he doesn’t think that she will be able to get it to him.  Well this should have thrown a red flag immediately, but what do I do?  Sure ill lend you the money to get your vehicle going, and I even let him borrow some tools.  I am stupid when it comes to people borrowing or needing help.  I blindly give and give and get screwed in return, but you may ask yourself, well if it sucks so much and you get screwed so much, why is it on your passionate list.  Well to that I say, when you get that one or two people every so often, that are grateful and you can see the expression on their face that shows you that they truly are, it kind of makes the wrongings of the previous few, a little small and almost un-noticeable.  I wish that I could be a little bit more cautious of my helping, but the little voice in the head seems to be shut off while im trying to help.  I really cannot stand it.
