La Dee Da

Had a weird kinfa funny thing happen to me the other day.....I decided to turn on the tele, and there are the usual channels I flip to when I watch TV.....so I turned to one channel there was a commercial for McDonalds, and there Grade A Canada egg they use in the McMuffin.....then I flopped the channel to see another commercial for EggLands best Eggs, and then I changed the channel to see yet another commercial for "Cooking with eggs".........was pretty weird.
Other than that right now I am just remembering the music I used to listen to, and how back then it was the coolest thing to me. I have never been one to be up on the latest music that is supposedly "cool" or whatever everyone else may be listening to. I am pretty much the same way these days and if someone was to see my play list on the PSP they would probably laugh at some of the tunes I have/ But, to me it is all about just being in the moment and listening to the music, or the beat. I also like how my daughter has a very different taste in the types of music she listens to. I mean she is into the typical songs and music that an eight year old girl would be into...Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, HSM and so on and so forth. Then she can also sit down and listen to anything from American Pie by Don Maclean to I wanna Rock by Twisted Sister. Each time we listen to certain songs I usually try to tell her a little story about the artist or the time period it comes from, and I think she sees that I am always listening to different tunes........I do not know whether she will continue to be this way forever but hopefully..........

"Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upperlip up little lady, i told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We feel how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But i promise momma's gon' be alright

And if you ask me too
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
I'mma give you the world
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you
I'mma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
I'mma break that birdies neck
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
He'll give me every carat don't fuck with dad (haha)"
- MockingBird by Eminem

Day in, Day out. It may seem as though I constantly am stating the obvious, but it is just I am such a proud Dad. There is rarely a day that goes by that my daughter does not do something that amazes me. It can be as simple as scoring a higher score on her Wii than the day before, or something as big as bringing home a report card filled with A's and B's. Back in 2001 when I became a parent I had no idea that it would be this difficult. With difficulties though comes more rewards than I could ever ask for.
I may not have much when it comes to material posses ions, or even life experiences to brag about......but ask me about my child and I could go on for days. It was actually this morning when she woke up at 7:10am when she came into my room and laid down beside me for awhile when we got to talking...
We decided then that we would sit down this weekend and write promise letters to each other. Our letters would be made up of promises that we would make to each other over the next few years. I asked her what she would write down, to which she replied " I would promise that I would always listen to you. And, always do good in school. ". There were a few others as well but I am sure you get the idea as to what she promised me. I too told told her I would always be there for her, and always make sure she comes first no matter what. We plan to write our letters and seal them until her 13th birthday and open them to make sure she always keeps her promises, and same goes for me. But it seems as though this could be a way to keep her on track to always being a good girl/student/friend etc. etc. The when she is thirteen we will do the same thing, and three years after open the letters and that would be just our thing...........anyways.....'til next time, act like ya know!!

Pop goes the........

Well another day another dollar. I am feeling somewhat better these days. As far as physically speaking.......so-so. Emotionally: I am feeling probably the same as I usually do. I think each day that I want to change some things about myself.....and yet I do not really know what is the matter with me.....
Am I sad??? Am I lonely??? NO, I really don't think so. I wake up each morning and think the same things.....get Aiden ready, do this, do that. Maybe what I am missing is do something for myself. Yeah, that is probably it! I am alos realizing that I am not really making any sense with what I am typing. I live my life fifteen minutes at a time, rarely do I plan more than a couple hours ahead......I always figure if I can make it to the next fifteen minutes.....I'm cool. I guess I will continue to live that way until someone comes along and makes me change. "Til next time.......act like ya know!!

Dear Aiden Haley Watt,
Just wanted to write a personal letter to you once afain. I know I tell you all the time but I do not think you could fully understand just how much your Dad loves you. I know you are getting older, and the things you need me to do for you are getting fewer and fewer, but I hope you will never stop needing your Dad. I will never stop needing you, you make every things in my life better, and you are everything that is good in me. As you get older I am going to probably annoy you with the way I want to hang onto my little girl, but I know that I will at some point have to let go. I just want you to know that I will promise you to always be there no matter what, no matter where and no matter for how long. You are the most important person in my life. Stay strong, beautiful and remember to always be cool no matter what anyone says to you. Because its the cool people that make this world good, and my baby uou are the coolest. I love you.
From, Your Dad Walter Darren Watt

Just wanted to put something else up

If you know me, you know I have a man-crush on Barack Obama and I have followed his historic march to the White House right from the beginning. I was tuned in with anticipation to his swearing in the other day, and although the whole day was mobing and historic. There was a very sad moment when The Obama's walked George Bush and his wife to the helicopter that would take gim over the Andrew Air Force base and then on a plave to Texas and retirement. I actually had a tear of sadness fall from my eye when I thought about George Bush is retired......I never liked him as President nor did I agree with anything he did......but I remembered that my brother did like him, and just that moment I think it was more about missing my brother and wishing he could have been here to see G.W.'s run as President over.....
yeah maybe that was it, and it never came to me until I started writing this out.....I wonder what Reg thought watching the events of the other day.....he probably toasted G.W with a Budweiser and smiled..........

It has been so long since....

Well it has been quite awhile since I have written anything down here. I have been writing more in my journal lately. I really enjoy writing as a way to release things that are bothering me or just anything I am think. The pasy month has been a very busy and tiring one. Once the whole Cristmas thing was done I had to plan a birthday party for my baby. On Sunday January 11th, which is her actual birthday, we had a big family dinner with all the aunts and cousins and other members. I cooked a big pot of spagetti and Aiden's grandma baked a bannock.....was a good meal and a pretty good time. The the following Satuday...which was the 17th we had a party for her friends and cousins. It was held here at our place and it was fun. We decorated the libing room with blacklights and her disco light, and held some statue games and dancing. Aiden and her guests all made their own ice cream sundaes, and pigged out on pizza......they actually ate too much before the cake and they didn't want to eat any cake.....so I sent each kid home with a peice. Anyways, it was fun and Aiden got quite a lot of cash and presents.
Really don't know what else to say right now, oh yeah we went to the mall the other day so Aiden could spend some of her birthday money.......and it is just so cute to watch her walk around certain stores looking for the right bracelet to match the right leggings...not tights she says. It just makes me realize that the day she won't need her dad watching over her while she does things like that is coming soon.......but for the time being I will enjoy the next few years with my baby!!!!!!
