Tuesday Morning Musings - Where Does The Time Go Edition

Hey y'all.

I hope that your week started well yesterday and that today has been a good day as well.

Happy birthday to Mommy Z today and Step-dad Z yesterday.

I know it's still early to judge the day as a whole.  But after 2 cups of coffee and a small sense of relief/ accomplishment at the office I think today is lined up to be a winner.

Right now I'm rocking some internet Country radio courtesy of iTunes and I like it.  Judge all you like.  It won't change anything.

The countdown is now on until the next trip to Ottawa to see Jake and Romeo and the gang.  And, I'm pleased to report that I have booked an extra day off for the weekend.  So that's awesome.

If you're in the Ottawa area and want to hang out on the weekend of the 12th let me know here on or Twitter.

I need more Batman books.  I know I've said that a lot.  But I think it's time to sacrifice some other purchases so that I can make that happen.

Alright, there's a lot going on in the office and on my desktop right now, so I should get to it.

I hope that you all have a rocking day!

Until I speak to you again, be good to one another.

And as always, if you're only here this one day a week, see you next Tuesday.

Like wham.

Friday Morning Musings - Holy Weekend Batman!

Hey there Bat-friends.

I hope that you're all well and rocking your Friday.

This week has passed quickly... don't get me wrong, some moments have dragged, but holy cow, it's Friday already.

Work has been great, mostly because I've been listening to podcasts (Bill Simmons @espn.com & all of the smodcast.com network) and music (grooveshark.com) every day. It's been fantastic.

It's almost fantasy hockey time, and today the goal is to come up with a great name for my team before I start putting together my draft board.

I'm going to surprise some people this year.  Look for updates.

Time to get some work done.  Hit me on Twitter (@wallyzblogger) with your fantasy sleeper picks... penalty minutes and shots count as points for me... so keep that in mind.

Have a great weekend kids.  Rock out hard.

Like wham.

Monday Morning Musings - Back To Work Edition

Hey all, Happy Monday.

I hope that everyone had a great weekend.

E-ve looks great in the pictures from her friend's bachelorette party. Take my word for it.

Thankfully there are no pictures of me from the double bachelor parties that I was at back home. Not that there was anything scandalous going on... but after a lot of beer I just don't look good in photos.

Big ups to the cheap beer prices back home. My goodness it is so much cheaper to party there than it is in Toronto.

Thumbs down to the Blue Jays who weren't able to take any momentum from a 16-2 drubbing of the Red Sox on Friday night... they friggin' lost Saturday and Sunday.

Back in the office this morning. Coffee is my friends as per usual.

I should get back to the grind...

Hockey season is only a month and a half away. That's the happy thought of the day. Run with it.

Have a great day kids.

I'll be back soon.

Like wham.

Friday Morning Musings - It's Here Edition

Hey y'all.

I hope that you've all managed to get here safely.

Here's hoping that Wing Night went well for E-ve and her co-workers last night.

The weekend is so close I can taste it. In fact, I can almost taste the beer that is going to be downed back home this weekend at 2 separate bachelor parties.

That's going to be a gong show.

Scary moment last night as Anthony Calvio of the Montreal Alouettes was carted off the field and taken to the hospital after falling hard.

Big ups to everyone who has stopped back in and given me another chance. I know that I was away for a long time.

If you're on Twitter lemme know you're handle so that I can give you a follow.

We are now less than 50 days away from the start of the NHL regular season. How great is that?

That's my happy thought for the day.

Stay well my friends. Be awesome like I know you all are.

Have a great weekend.

Like wham.

Thursday Morning Musings - So Close Edition

Hey all.

I hope that Thursday has started well for all of you.

I was rocking out a little to hard at my desk and got a friendly ICQ (that's right we use ICQ in the office) message to get me to stop tapping my feet so loud.

I'll call that a good start to the day.

Also a good start was the free Subway breakfast that I picked up on my way to the office.

Thumbs down to the Blue Jays bullpen after losing 5-4 in the bottom of the 9th inning yesterday in Oakland. Especially after we scored 3 runs to tie the game in the top half of the inning.

Positive thoughts and wishes to all of you and the ones that you care about most. And the same to the ones that I care about most. You know who you are.

I'm in my "get rest and prepare" phase before what could be a legendary Saturday night back home. yikes.

K kids, I've got to get back to it.

Have a great day and keep rocking!

Tuesday Morning Musings - Musical Day

Good morning mes amis.

I hope that you all survived Monday unscathed and are now rocking Tuesday.

I'm listening to a lot of musical tracks today. It seems to be a happy place today.

If you have suggestions fire them to me on Twitter @WallyZ

Bug ups to the Blue Jays and Shaun Marcum on a great game last night in Oakland that I fell asleep during.

Maybe tonight I'll nap and stay up for the game.

It's a glorious day weather wise here in the big smoke. The humidity is almost nonexistent and the sun is out. I lurve it.

I hope that you're all well. And join me in sending positive thoughts out to all the ones I care about it. E-ve, Jake, Romeo, Heath, Julia and all of you.

Have a great day kids.

And in case this is the only day you stop by, see you next Tuesday.

Monday Morning Musings, Post Weekend Edition

Hola amigos.

I hope that you all had a great little weekend.

Fingers crossed that E-ve didn't get caught in a rainstorm.

There have been some wicked thunder and lightning storms throughout Ontario in the last few days. I wish there had been more in my neighbourhood. If you have any awesome pictures let me know. I'd love to see them.

High fives to my Twitter folks. I missed you guys. I'll be back more often. Even a couple times this morning!

This morning has been a good start to the week. No complaints sitting at the desk. I think that I should have some more coffee.

Getting hyped for Jake's bday and my next visit.

Also hyped that Romeo has found a new place. Good job buddy.

Time to get back to the grind. And to make another cup of coffee.

Have a good day friends.

You deserve it.

Friday Morning Musings - We Made It Edition

Hey kids.

I hope that you had a good Thursday and are rocking your Friday so far.

Big ups to E-ve on a Friday at the restaurant.

I did some karaoke in Toronto last night. It was a good time. There were some great sing a long tunes in the rotation... but I must point out that the dude who sang Total Eclipse didn't hold a candle to what Jake and Romeo and I do to that song.

I'm currently fighting the urge for another trip to Ottawa without anything but the clothes on my back... Doesn't make much sense to go does it?

If you aren't listening to the podcasts at www.smodcast.com you should start. They are all funny. And while Mo & Glo doesn't always make me laugh I have nothing especially bad to say about it.

I just wish Ingram wasn't so angry all the time.

The Expendables comes out today... there are a lot of people excited about it. Me, I don't know.

I should get back to working. You all know how it is.

One last note: How about those Blue Jays and their 9th inning comeback win against the Red Sox yesterday afternoon in front of a crowd of 36,000. Well done les boys.

Have a great Friday friends.

And an awesome weekend as well.

Thursday Morning Musings - Almost There Edition

Good morning kids. 

We've made it all the way to Thursday already.  We're almost to the weekend.  Which is awesome because at the new job I actually get weekends off.

Welcome home to E-ve who was in Ottawa for a few days.  It seems like things went well. 

I have a jonesing to head to Ottawa this weekend to see Jake and Romeo again this weekend.  But I think I'm going to hold out for Jake's birthday in a few weeks.  It's coming in a month.

I can't wait for hockey to come back.  I love baseball and all, but there's something about the Habs fans and the way we interact that makes hockey season even better than it used to be.

Speaking of baseball... thumbs down to the Blue Jays after last night's game.  the Red Sox just ran them over... it was tough.

Here's hoping that they put together a better performance this afternoon.

High fives to all of you.  You deserve them.

Time to get back to work.

Be well mes amis.

Wednesday Morning Musings - Mid-Week Edition

Hey all, hope that things are all going well.

Last night was pretty cool as 2 of the Brothers Z and I hit the Blue Jays game together.  There were some other friends there with us as well.  Great time had by all.

It would have been cooler if we could have picked up a win.  But next time!

Big love and hugs to my favourite little guy in the world today on his birthday.

Shout outs to everyone who has rediscovered the blog over the last week after I was away for so long.  My bad.  And my love to you.

Maybe I'll get back to Twitter at some point. 

I have to jet for now, but stick around.  I'll try to make it worth your while.

Have a great days kids.

Monday Morning Musings... I'm Alive

Hey all.

I'm really sorry that I haven't been here, or on Twitter in the last few months.  It's been a hectic time in the life of Wally Z.  Both in good and bad ways.

There's always a bright side, always hope and always light at the end of the tunnel though.  Never forget that.  Please.

I'm working at a new job, writing.  I'm living in the same place, for now.  I'm loving the Blue Jays season, completely.  And I still love you know who.

I'm at work right now actually, so I should get back to it.

For anyone who has stopped by in since I wrote last looking for something new, I'm sorry.

I can't promise that I'll be here daily, but I'll be around.

Much love to all of you.

Have a great day.
