OK, up until recently I have been noticing all my shots have ALOT of grain in then (mind you, just recently) I don't understand why, I will have my ISO on 100 with my 17-40L and it can be during the day with more than enough sun light(oh and don't get me started on my night shots now ewww). Is there something wrong with my camera? Maybe a setting I am over looking possibly? I am using a canon rebel btw.

Long exposure = hot sensor = noise.

Yarp. This would be the case.

Hot pixels are going to be common with extended exposures. You can try using the NR optin under the custom functions if your camera has it. It will help reduce the hot pixels. as much as it cans. It will only work on exposures longer than 2 seconds if I remember correctly.

OK, I did have that on and also not to stray from my real prob...why do I have grain on NON-long exposures?

No, quite the opposite. There are TOO MANY possible answers without a pic. Maybe some others will want to join this thread and spend all day speculating, but I won't.
