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.

Thursday Morning Musings, Falling In Love W/ Speed Skating Edition
Bonjour amis.
I hope that you all made it over the hump and have landed safely here on Thursday.
Big ups to E-ve for coming over to visit last night. It was a great way to end a long day. We chatted and laughed and smiled and cuddled and it was the awesome. Just like she is.
Also big thanks for all of her help planning this weekend’s getaway. I’m excited.
It sounds like Jake and Romeo are getting excited as well, and that makes me happy. I haven’t seen them in far too long.
I am falling in love with the sport of speed skating. It’s fast, competitive and has 2 different disciplines. Long track is so pretty to watch with the athletes showing pure power and speed as they travel around the oval. And short track has tons of excitement. The racers are flying around the track, shoulder to shoulder with other skaters, no pads other than a helmet and taking corners so sharp that they have to put their fingers down to steady themselves. Watching them pass is a thing of fright and beauty as crashes at high speed can happen, but when executed properly it is perfection. It also helps that Canada is pretty good at the sport and are picking up a few medals in Vancouver.
I could really use a few sales today before I take a 3 day weekend. So if you know anyone in Toronto, send them my way.
I could also use tips on new job opportunities in Toronto. I’m not super worried about the money my friends. At this point if I can find something that makes me smile and puts close to a couple grand in the bank a month I’ll be well ahead of where I am now.
I’d like to thank Reba McEntire for influencing so many of the female country artists that I love listening to now.
Today is my 3rd straight 10 hour shift/ 12 hour day so that I can have 3 days off in a row. That’s the way things go around here. Get used to it.
Good luck to everyone who is now on day 2 of Lent and giving things up. I hope that it’s going well so far.
I wasn’t able to give up pancakes as I had left overs with peanut butter last night for dinner with chocolate milk on the side. It was very tasty.
Does anyone know of anything awesome going on in Peterborough this Saturday? E-ve and I are looking for plans. wally.z1.0@gmail.com or www.twitter.com/wallyzblogger
Is there a Country 105 dance somewhere maybe?
I’ve got designs on writing a bunch today so I think I’m gonna call this a wrap.
Have a great day friends. If I don’t post over the weekend don’t fear me dead.

Saturday Morning Musings, Let The Games Begin Edition
Hey there kiddies.
Welcome to the weekend if you’re lucky enough to be spending it doing something enjoyable.
I don’t mean to sound bitter. If you’re not working, or if your work is something that you love and you’re doing it today, I’m happy for you. Just try not to brag lest I resent you.
Big lovin’ to E-ve who has a sleep in morning and then a long, long day ahead. Please and thank you, if you’re going for lunch or dinner or both at the restaurant make the effort to smile and be polite to all the servers… but tip E-ve the most. She’s pretty awesome.
I’m crushing on her and missing her and listening to a lot of country music that will do nothing to help those feelings. X’s and O’s.
Happy birthday wishes go to Ottawa and a pretty good guy. He’s asked that wishes to him for a happy birthday also include best wishes to some friends of his that are going through some tough times with their health, and so we send as many best wishes as we can muster.
Big ups to the Toronto Star for giving away free newspapers for the duration on the Vancouver Olympics. I picked up the 500 lb Saturday Star this morning on my way to work and will give it a read a little later on. Thanks guys.
With regards to the tragedy that took place at the Olympics yesterday I would like to send my thoughts out to the friends, family and teammates of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili. I would also like to send my thoughts to the people of Georgia who have prepared themselves to cheer for their athletes at these games. Lastly, I would like to give all of my support to the athletes of Team Georgia that have decided to stay in Vancouver and compete to honor the memory of their fallen teammate. This is the power of sport, the spirit, the love and the opportunity to help people come together in times of great struggle.
I was a great deal of last night’s Opening Ceremonies without sound as I was out on the town with some old friends. And while I can’t comment on anything sound related I can tell you that I thought the visuals were stunning. From the costumes to the video boards, it was all grand.
There have been a lot of jokes online about K.D. Lang and her look last night. I have nothing to say on the matter and plan on trying to find the video of her singing Hallelujah in the next few minutes.
And the last thing I’ll hit from Vancouver is the lighting of the caldron. As Canadians we are fiercely proud of our people and stars and their achievements. And we have many, many people that would have been more than qualified to light the caldron based on service, status, legend and lore. With that in mind there were many, many people that would have been great choices to both carry the Olympic flag and light the caldron. And I think that VANOC did a great job of bringing a fantastic group of people together. My personal highlights included Anne Murray, Betty Fox, Bobby Orr, Romeo Dallaire, Donald Sutherland, Rick Hansen, Steve Nash, Catriona Le May Doan and Wayne Gretzky. That is an amazing group of athletes and citizens and most impressively, Canadians. It was a proud moment to watch even without the sound.
Last night I managed to make myself some quick nachos for my dinner at home. It was late, and they may not have been the best choice, but they were tasty. I fried some onion, added refried beans and salsa and let it all simmer with a little Tabasco sauce and had sour cream on the side. Like I said, tasty.
I think that’s all I’ve got for now my friends. Pop in later on the Twitter feed to see if there’s anything new. Or find us on Facebook. Wally Zed or Wally Z’s Morning Musings.

Friday Morning Musings, Reggie Reggie And A Big Cookie Edition
Hey there friends.
It's Friday and we all know what that means... Yesterday was Thursday.
And a great Thursday it was. E-ve and I had a wonderful day of hanging out and eating and grocery shopping and walking and Booster Juicing and napping and Kevin Smith watching from morning til night.
Wednesday night E-ve actually came over to start the date and rocked a great dinner for us. 3 courses including Mussels, salad and 5 cheese medalians with a Bolognaise sauce. Mmm.
Wednesday night also saw the Habs break up the Capitals winning streak. The Raptors beat Philly and the much anticipated return of Reggie Evans to the Raptors line-up. The fans chanted his name as he prepared to enter the game for the first time this season.
Today it's back to work after some schedule changes but right now I'm mobile as I head to another store for a pick-up. Not a bad way to waste some time.
I'm getting quite excited as my bday draws near and I get to spend time with E-ve and Jake and Romeo and Heath all at the same time. All the while being spoiled by my favourite Auntie Z.
Today is of course the first day of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games. The first event goes on the ski hills this afternoon and the Opening Ceremonies will officially kick things off tonight.
Good luck to all of the Team Canada athletes as they go for gold.
Last night I popped in the DVD of the 2002 mens hockey gold medal game from Salt Lake City to get myself ready for the action. And even though I fell asleep mid-way through the 2nd period I'm pretty sure that Canada won.
The new TV is being set up at work right now, so there will be Olympic action available as well as all the other action that the sporting world has to offer. I'm happy.
I think that's about a wrap for now my friends.
I'll close with some awesome news. E-ve very much seemed to like part 1 of her Valentine's Day surprise which made me very happy. And E-ve herself busted out with the surprising by baking me a huge chocolate cookie with a big icing I Love You written on top. The picture is on Twitter and will soon make its way to Facebook. I'm a lucky guy folks.
Have a great Friday and a fantastic weekend.
