the difference between “desire” y “passion”

DESIRE

 For a good while now I’ve been wanting to own this piece of bike-maintenance equipment.  It’s good to have, especially when care for a road bike is priority. With this tool, bike maintenance comes very easy and practical. After a long ride you just break it open, pop the legs and arms, hang the old bike on it, and, bam! Pretty convenient, huh? It’s just so much easier to clean and sort the bike that way.

It’s really nice.

And very expensive too. Way too expensive for me

  Well, there’s this place called Home Depot. One day while there looking for paint I stumbled across a device, some kind of equipment that people use to hang stuff on or something, in the garage or shop.  I thought of my road bike and, well, it didn’t really take too much to make out the gist. So …aha!

Spent $7.99 on the poor thing. I reckon, with a duct tape and a couple of nails, I got myself a bike stand, or some kind of bike-repair stand.

PASSION

I was gonna say solution, but what the hey, “passion” reads better. or fashion?

  The kid saw this and he says to his old man, “whoa, cool, dad, I guess you don’t have to buy that bike stand at the bike shop anymore”.

  I’m thinking, it’s just more clothes and toys for you instead, bucky.  But maybe that’s what he actually meant. How’s that? His desire, my passion? 

  Yu-huh.
