Wall.E by Wally

Yep, that's right people. A couple of days ago I journeyed to the cinemas (a bit of a rare event for me these days) and I saw the new Pixar movie, Wall.E. Now, being a children's author, I naturally have dreams of seeing one of my stories up on the big screen. An actual movie of it, not just the story, that would be dodgy as. People come in, sit down with their popcorn and drinks and chips and lollies, get relaxed, watch the previews, the screen widens, the lights go down, they read one of my stories, the lights go up, they go home and that is not $15 well spent! No, I would looove to see one of my stories made into a movie. I actually have the exact story I want as well. It is written. It is ready to go.

Anyway, moving on from my future glory, Mak took me to go and see Wall.E, and, I have to say, it was really, really, really awesome. It isn't one of those laugh out loud movies, like Shrek or Over the Hedge (although there are some funny bits in it), but it has a real heart to it. Wall.E is one of the nicest, most genuine movie characters I have ever seen, and he has a three word vocabulary. This goes to show, I think, that most people talk too much and that sometimes you can show your true colours and heart without having to blab on all the time. There, now I will get off my pedestal for a bit.

So this is a quick entry today, as I have things to do, places to go and people to see, all while trying to plan my siesta. I am going to finish by saying go and see Wall.E. No matter how old you are, it is a great movie and I am giving it the three thumbs up and 24.5 stars.

Have a great week, and keep living the dream.

Stay gold.

Two reasons why September 19 is a great day.

Greetings everyone! I hope you have had a FANTASTIC week. My week has been really good. Bit of work, bit of bumming around. No tennis which was a bummer. but, and I say but, this week is great for two reasons. Not only this week, but today, September 19th, Why? I hear you think. Well, I will tell you.
1. September 19th is my birthday day! Yaaaaaay. Yes, that's right, thirty something years ago some lady had a baby, and that baby came to be known as Adam Wallace! I won't give away exactly how old I am, you wil have to guess when you see me. I will tell you it isn't 100 as one kid guessed a couple of weeks ago!

2. September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Hells yeah it is! How cool is that? My birthday is on the same day that everyone is (or at least should be) talking like a pirate. Arrrrr me hearties, man the poop deck (tee hee hee), avast ya landlubbers, pieces of eight and all that sort of cool stuff. I have a patch and a pirate skull cap, but I don't know if i will wear them today or not. I may wear them when we go out tonight , I will see how courageous I am feeling. Either way I think I will make everyone I speak to today say something in a pirate voice, or else I wil make them walk the plank.

Have a great day everyone, and keep living the dream.

Stay gold.

My first blog as a blogger doing some blogging

Greetings one and ... well, maybe just one, but hopefully one and all. Welcome to my new blog. I know that I have written many posts on my website, all hilarious and informative of course, but this is the first time I have written something where I really have to remember the L or else it will become gross. I mean, come on, imagine the title of this blog if I had forgotten to put in the Ls. Seriously, seriously smelly writing people! And now I have got that out of my system, so to speak, I will move on. Deep breath and ... done.
It has been a pretttty cool week in the life of me. I don't know why I did a lot of ts in pretty, but there you go. Anyways, I played pool on Monday night. Look at me go. I hadn't played for ages, so for the first few shots I nearly missed the white ball, let alone actually getting anything in. But it didn't take long for the old hustler in me to come flooding back. That's right. Twirling the cue behind my back, one handed shots, behind the back shots, left handed shots, I did them all ... and not one of them pocketed anything. I lost more games than I won. but at least I looked good doing it! So from here on in the tactic is more practice Wally, more practice. I'm coming for you Stolzy, you are going down my friend! It was great fun though, and amongst all the fun the little competitive fire in me, the one that was, well, you know how when a fire is dying down and all there is left is ashes and some burnt out wood and maybe some plastic thing that really stinks and is probably toxic and you look closer and burn your nose so you look closely but not too closely and you blow under the ashes and there it is, this one little red glow left on the edge of an old, burnt out log? That was my competitive fire. It had started glowing a little bit during my tennis games, but during the pool game someone blew my spark and it started to glow a little brighter and then a little more blowing and it glowed even brighter. By the end there may have even been a small, hardly noticeable flame going there. All I need now is to go and get some old newspaper, a bit of kindling (little bits of wood, not the author ... no, wait, that was Kipling. Sorry), and then get that fire roaring again.
Right then. I am ready to go. I am off to grab my axe and start a-chopping. I feel so pumped. Wow. Ready to take on the world baby. Look out world, the competitive Wally is back! COME ONNNNN!!! Actually, this has all been a little bit tiring, this getting fired up and pumped and excited. I think I will go and have a little lie down first, but then, after that, it is all on!
Have a great week everyone, and keep living the dream
Stay gold.
