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.

Monday Morning Musings, Guess Who's Coming To Town Edition

Hey there friends.


Happy Monday. Hope you’re all rocking it.

Big loving to E-ve who is getting ready for a trip. I’m excited for her even though I’ll miss her while she’s away.

Excellent Sunday dinner last night. Taquitos and Chicken Fingers. How can a bachelor ask for any better than that? Quick, easy and pretty tasty. Good times.

I am loving the length and fullness of my beard right now.

Blue Jays vs Tigers on the TV at work right now. Awesome!

Had some sleep in time today since I was alone in the store for a while yesterday. Was nice.

Started reading for DC Trinity stuff that I almost forgot I had while I was on the street car and subway today. I bought the comics so I could use the covers as art. I may as well read them before I put them on the wall.

There are a lot of errors made in spring training baseball. I think I could play.

It’s Chuck night. I’m excited. I just hope I can stay awake long enough to watch it.

Thumbs down to the San Jose Sharks. Eff you guys. Losing and not scoring lots of goals for me is unacceptable.

The weather is supposed to be nice over the next few days. That’ll mean less sweaters for me, I like that prospect.

Lady Gaga has announced her North American tour dates. There are 4 Canadian dates set, so if you want to see Gaga and are in Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto or Montreal you will have your chance.

I answer a lot of questions every day. It’s a pain in the arse.

I think it’s time for me to hang it up for today.

Have a great rest of the day.

Sunday Morning Musings, Trivial Pursuit And The Raptors Win Edition

Good day y’all.


It’s a grey and mild Sunday in Toronto, but I hope there’s some sunshine in your life wherever you are.


Big ups to E-ve as she prepares herself for Trivial Pursuit this evening. I have extreme faith in her ability to run the field with her knowledge of pretty much everything.


I’m not trying to stop anyone from playing Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Trivial Pursuit or Scrabble with E-ve, but it’s a tough go if you try. I’ll stick to sports trivia and things of that ilk.


In other game news, it’s a Killer Bunnies evening in Ottawa. Good luck to everyone in the battle for the winning carrot.


Karaoke was fun last night. As I mentioned on Twitter, my 2nd song was too big for me in the end. I did too much singing along, and I blame the shot of rye for me not being able to do justice to Tim McGraw’s Live Like You Were Dyin’. The last big long note was just a little too much.


I also realized that Glee has had a huge impact because when Sweet Caroline and Don’t Stop Believin’ came on all I could think about was those damn kids doing a fantastic job with the music.


I also received my first birthday gift of the year, which was unexpected and pretty cool. A wooden baseball bat, much like the ones I had when I was a kid. It feels perfect in my hands and reminds me of days gone by.


The late night street car ride home was packed with people that must have had a great time last night because it was loud and busy.


I had a good quick visit with E-ve before I went home to change to go out last night too. We had some Tim Hortons and chit chat. I was out of it a bit from working which didn’t make me great company, but she makes me a happy dude. I’m lucky.


Sad faces as mes Canadiens lost 4-2 last night to Ottawa. It wasn’t a great effort by les boys. And it underscores the fact that Montreal scores fewer goals per game than any other team in the NHL.


Happy faces as the Toronto Raptors are minutes away from a big home win against the Dallas Mavericks. These are games that are big to win because they give us the opportunity to beat bad teams and climb the standings instead of just treading water.


Time to wrap it up for the day. It’s a short work day and we’ve got basketball, hockey and football to watch.


Have a great day.

Friday Morning Musings, Peanut Butter And Mythbusters Edition

Good morning friendlies.



Happy Friday to all of you. I hope it's a good lead in to your weekend.



Big ups to E-ve as she gets ready for work. And then comes over for presents and hang out time and hopefully tasty baking from last night. If you're in her section today be nice and tip well.



Cheers to Jake for being a good person and a better friend. Worry not brother, everyone is gonna be alright.



That includes Romeo who will be super awesome and very helpful if he heads to Haiti.



Mythbusters is on my TV right now. I love this show. They do all of the things that I wish I could have done in my backyard when I was a kid. And I bunch of things that I had no idea that I wanted to do, but I do now!



cp24 says that it's +2 on the thermometer right now. And that's awesome. E-ve and I are scheduled to rock a walk in the village today and that kind of temperature is quite welcome.



Someday, if/ when I'm rich, I'd like to have my own private island to live on at least part time. Not like the island from Lost, more like the island from Gilligan's Island.



Fire truck.



Big won for the Habs last night over the visiting Dallas Stars. Wins at home are important, wins against western conference teams are big too. And last night's was both. Brian Gionta had 2 goals and Carey Price was solid in the win.



Oh yeah, the Maple Leafs won as well.



Just finished my breakfast of crackers and peanut butter. While I don't eat peanut butter often I am very happy that I am not part of the nut allergy generation. I want cashews and almonds and beernuts and I want 'em when I crave 'em.



Wondering if Blockbuster will have any great value DVDs that I don't know I want and need.



I want to get in the Cash Cab.



I think that's about it for now kiddies. Have a great weekend and keep on smiling. Love one another and so on.

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.

Tuesday Morning Musings, Back To The Mall Edition

Good day lovelies.

Here’s hoping that the 2nd to last day of the year has started well for you all.

Big ups to E-ve for winning games night with her friends. I hear that she did an awesome victory lap. In fact it was her that told me about the victory lap. I’ve very proud.

It is hella cold today. The wind chill is killing me. It’s a scarf and leather gloves kinda day my friends.

We’ve had some pushes and rushes here at the store over the last few days. Hopefully they will show up on my paycheck.

This is starting to look like a quick fire by accident.

Condolences to the Ottawa Police and the family of the slain officer. Early this morning a person attacked an officer while he was sitting in his car doing paperwork. He stabbed the officer to death. It was the first on duty murder of a Police Officer in Ottawa since 1983 I believe. But that’s still not long enough. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with his friends, family and colleagues.

Sad faces made their way through Montreal Canadiens fans last night as les boys couldn’t hold an early 2 goal lead and lost to the Ottawa Senators. I was not a happy guy.

I love my E-ve a bunch.

I also love Jake and Romeo.

And Julia and Heath.

All great people.

I’m getting a little hungry. Not sure what I’m looking to eat though… Turkey would be awesome.

I have some shopping to do tonight and tomorrow. Wish me luck and wisdom.

I should get going. It’s the middle of the afternoon.

I hope that you all have a great day. And if I’m not back again I hope you have a great New Year ’s Eve.

And, as per always, if you’re only here this one day of the week… We’ll see you next Tuesday.
