Happy Father's Day

In keeping with tradition...

10 Reasons Why My Dad is Better Than Yours.

1. He makes fun of my music, tells me it sucks, and then falls in love with it.  Examples?  Mae, Andrew McMahon, and SO many more.
2. He will never admit the above fact.
3. He's geekier than most but not as geeky as some.
4. He took my senior picture, in a pub, while I was drinking a pint.  I was 17.  Best Photographer, EVER.
5. He is my roller-coaster buddy, even though he vowed never to go on one with me again, after I made him go upside down over the Hong Kong harbour.
6. He introduced me to my favourite band, when I was 4 and sitting in a car seat.
7. He bought me tickets to see that band my senior year.  It was my first concert.
8. I had my first cigar with him, while we both said, 'Don't tell Mum!'
9. While I was on swim team, I couldn't help but laugh every time I was competing in an event, because Dad was there yelling, 'Move your a$$!' in front of me.  It made me sink a little in my lane.
10. He's the funniest guy I know.

Happy Father's Day, Padre.
