Tuesday Morning Musings, Evening And Sorry For Being Away Edition

Hello world.

I hope you’re well.

Sorry about the delay in writing. It’s been a long few days.

Big ups to E-ve. She’s pretty awesome and working hard. I’m happy to report that games night was a success (I think) and everyone had a good time. Here’s hoping that they don’t have to wait long to have another.

Lots of love to everyone who is always in my corner.

I am thinking of getting french fries for dinner tonight on the way home. I don’t want to kill the Home Cooking Experiment, but I’ve got a craving and it’s hard to ignore. I also think that since I didn’t eat a real lunch I can use that as an exception.

I’ve been trying to keep the Twitter feed rolling, but since the Olympics have ended there hasn’t been much to say.

I will say this though; the Toronto Raptors are in trouble. They can’t seem to win without Chris Bosh, and he hasn’t been on the floor. You do the math. Sad faces.

Now I don’t want to get on a rant here, (Dennis Miller, anyone remember him?) but I thought we had a chance to catch Boston for the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics look old and tired and we should have been able to catch them in the second half of the season. The guys look weak on defense, sloppy on offense and are letting some really good momentum get away. Sonny Weems can keep throwing down fast break dunks all night, but it’s not going to win us any games. Pull up your socks boys. Both figuratively and literally (it’s a good look, search Keith Van Horn in Google images) and let’s see what happens.

The newest list of competitors has been released for Dancing with the Stars. It includes Pamela Anderson and Kate Gosselin and Chad Ochocinco among others. I don’t watch the show, so we’ll wait and see what the fans and critics think.

It seems as though winter has ended in Toronto now that the Olympics are over. Roll up the Rim has started at Tim Hortons and the weather is getting warmer. Get your flip flops ready my friends.

High fives to everyone who celebrated peacefully after Canada’s win over the USA on Sunday. I am proud of you. It was an emotional event and you showed some true Canadian spirit. As for the rest of you, please remember next time that happy isn’t a reason to wreck stuff. Merci.

I think that’s all for this evening mes amis. Have a good night.

And, as for always, if this is the only day you’re here each week, we’ll see you next Tuesday.

Like wham!

Sunday Morning Musings, Chuck Is Back Edition

Hi there surfers.

I hope that everyone has started Sunday off in fantastic fashion.

I’m at work, E-ve’s at work, I’m pretty sure that Jake is or was at work and Romeo usually works Sunday nights. Who said that Sunday was a day of rest?

The Montreal Canadiens ran into a hot goaltender last night, Martin Brodeur, and lost 2-1 in overtime to the New Jersey Devils. @ThatKevinSmith will be happy. But I’m not.

My pops has decided that he wants to have a joint birthday party on the day of my birthday for him, my step-sister and myself. Now I have to tell him that I have other plans made already because it’s my birthday. I’m not a young dude, but I’m not that old yet either. What I will tell you is that today marks the start of a 110 week countdown to a significant birthday. I’ll post on the twitter feed the milestone birthday I’m counting down to. www.twitter.com/Wallyzblogger

Best wishes for big tips go out to E-ve today. Sunday should be a day of generosity from people that want their lunch served to them.

I have songs from Glee stuck in my head. With the voices of the actors not the original singers.

Hey, guess what! Chuck is back in like 7 hours! This is the show that I have been waiting for since the finale of season 2. They do such a good job of drawing me in with funny and action and a little bit of drama. I’m hyped to see the actors the new storylines and the ass kickary. Chuck is going to be a well oiled machine. I’ll be honest though. I’m worried about the direction of the show now that he won’t need Sarah and Casey to save his ass all the time. They had better have something figured out. I don’t want to lose interest the way that I have with Heroes. They really dropped the ball on that one.

I need to get out of the all day every day face to face customer service line of work.

I have the bug to sing back again after going out for E-ve’s birthday. Maybe I’ll be able to talk her into going once in a while with me so that we can laugh and smile keep our vocal chords exercised. I also blame Glee and NBC’s The Sing-Off for bringing music to the forefront of prime time TV. How was I ever going to deny the urge? I think it’s a conspiracy.


The Raptors are getting ready to tip-off against the Boston Celtics this afternoon. It’s a game that will have the Celtics favoured, but the Raptors are on fire right now and have the chance to avenge the sole loss in their last 8 games. Good luck gentlemen.

I think that’s all for now. There’s a game to watch and other assorted tasks to take care of.

Happy Sunday to my loved ones.

Saturday Morning Musings, First Muse Of The New Year Edition

Good morning mes amis.

I hope that the new year has started well for each and every one of you.

One quick thing before I really start. I saw a Facebook status that said something along the line of, Happy New Year to all of my friends, and everyone else can go F themselves. I think that’s absolutely terrible. I know this person and there are a lot of people that don’t especially care for her personality… so there are many people that aren’t her friend. I would personally like to wish all of those people a happy new year.

And now, my thank you’s need to be handed out.

Thank you to E-ve for a great NYE. Dinner was tasty and the company was lovely. Champagne was a great touch and our Christmas wine was a nice treat.

Also, thank you for my Christmas presents. I have been waiting years for Band of Brothers and now I have it. I have a feeling that there will soon be a marathon at my apartment.

This is the first muse of 2010 and as such it should be special. But really, I don’t know how to make it any more special than any of 2009’s posts were.

Thank you to everyone that has popped in to read during our first 280 something posts and I hope that you will all stick with us as we pass 300 and 400 and 500 during this year.

Thank you to everyone at the NHL that put together the 3rd annual Winter Classic at Fenway Park yesterday. The event was fun to watch from start to finish. I personally thought that singing Sweet Caroline during the 3rd period was a great touch. A lot of hockey fans didn’t seem to think so, but I believe that you have to embrace the tradition of the venue and city that you are using for special events.

The only true downside I saw was Daniel Powter singing the Canadian national anthem before the game. I did think that it was a nice touch for the NHL to have the anthem represented even though there wasn’t a Canadian team in the game, but Powter did a bad job. And the way he was moving around and such while he was singing made him look like a douche.

Confession: E-ve and I both napped through part of the game.

I’m hyped for the Raptors game tonight against the Boston Celtics because if we win it will mean a 6 game win streak. And our chances of winning are good because Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo won’t be playing in the game.

It is friggin’ cold in the city today. Like -27 with the wind chill factor. Bundle up if you’re out in the sunshine today.

I think that’s all for now my friends. I hope that you have a great day.
