yay! first!

wil gets bigger billing than mariah carey!

and wils website in "better than rupauls" shocker! lol might have to check out rupauls website now.... ;o)

Of course Wil's is the best! Was there ever any doubt?

Go Wil!

:)

Yeah, very cool. Congrats. Only problem is, I don't think Jeff Bridges' web site sucks. It is undeniably "him" if you get my meaning. Sure it's a little unusual and it's not your standard layout or design, but that's what makes it cool. *shrug*

I think it's about time that "celebrities" did their own promotion. I really dislike going to a band site or an actor site and seeing it all slick and cool and really neat design wise, but completely devoid of any emotion or any touch of the person or people I went to read about. That's why your site rocks, Wil. It's personal and it's you. And you're not pretentious and you don't have this "movie-star" fake persona you put on. You're the guy next door. You rule.

its official

you da man

i built my life around you wil. my inspiration, i wrote my entire play album after watching everysingle wesley crusher episodes in a row.

rock on

moby

Your site will now be visited by me everyday from now on. Just because its you who writes on it and no one else. Now im going to pick up one of thoose VCD's of TNG. It will be different now when it feals like i know you.

Hey you got #1 spot for best site!
Woo Hoo!
Congrats! :)

hahaha.

nice, "moby."

I agree about Jeff Bridges. The first time I read his site, I thought the idea of writing it out longhand and scanning it was really unique and innovative...sort of a poetic marriage of hi- and lo-fi technology.

Dude, you kick ass, you know that? I was upset about you getting cut from Nemesis, but if you're happy, hey, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, hey?

Go you. Congrats on the story. :)

Guilty as charged.
Had to come here to realize that you live.
And I'm glad that I did.

Everybody who keeps bashing Wil's wife just needs to chill and leave him be. Fat girls need love too! I think it's great that a used-up fatty with a kid was able to land a *somewhat* normal guy like Wil. If playing "find the hole" in a tub of lard every night makes Wil happy, then who are you to judge?

Just remmeber when you're RICH and MORE FAMOUS ..
that it was the MONKEY'S that loved you first!!!

I came looking to see what happened to my favourite character and actor from STTNG.
what I found was a guy that was just as cool as I'd always hoped he would be.
I'm a bit biased tho....
anyone remember the movie 'December' starring wil?
my friends all rented that one night back in college, because at the time, i looked almost exactly like wil.
funny but true.
anyhow, cool article wil.

I came here at first because of Wesley Crusher, and stayed because Wesley sucks compared to Wil. Wesley who? Wil is someone who I could actually hang with, he's a cool guy, and by sharing his thoughts here he has succeeeded in breaking free from the fact that he is an actor (failed or not) and celebrity. It doesn't matter anymore.

Although...

I wanted to see you in Nemesis.

But...

If it was just a small part then it's for the better, now we can make our own theories about where Wesley is and what he's up to. So it's all good.

AND WE ALREADY KNOW THAT YOU ARE #1.

I came here looking for a burrito.

The problem with the desire people have with celebrity stories is that too many folks have varying degrees as to what defines success. Happiness of the person in question is usually never one of them, unfortunately. For some reason, people get a kick out of celebrity crashes or downslides, or at least the perception of.

Oh, and Fatchicksrule---kudos to your comment! My wife is a fairly large gal, and I've been with her eleven years now, and I'm more in love with her now than I've ever been, simply because she is the most beautiful woman I've ever known, and I love her fiercely---and I guess I'm what you call a `normal guy'(though not as handsome as Wil). Happiness is definitely happiness, and is, by far, the greatest success one can have in either love or life---Wil's positive personality definitely personifies that, and it's very infectious. :)

OK, so that article in the SF Chronicle brought me here too. Like the site! Haven't had much time to peruse it yet, but I think I'll be back, if only because you sound like a pretty interesting person, actor or not.
Regards,
GioGio

Wil has them...dreams I mean.

Wil - a failed actor you are NOT! Keepp trying dude. Perseverance pays off. I love your site - been coming here for about a year now and I must say, like someone else said before me, watching TNG is different now that I feel as if I "know" you.

Wil,

Congrats on having the number 1 blog. Was there ever any doubt? Good luck against Barney tomorrow, like you need it.

Keep up the great work Wil, you really are a talanted person.

Until your next post......

Matt......

I came here looking for donuts. WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE DONUTS? I WAS PROMISED DONUTS.

Number One!!!

*Failed* actor?
Not by my definition of failure.

Looking for a failed actor? nah Looking for a real person with thoughts, a family, and a life..sure.

The enjoyment of reading your posts, Wil, is that the words we read are actually your words and believe it or not they do make sense.

This probably wasn't as "insightful" as I wanted but hey...it's my first post to the almighty WWDN. Zoooom!

hey, wil - you, rupal and Al Roker. wow, such company! we love you, man!

I just came here looking for Boobies. What a let-down...

Wil - you will diminish and go into the West - and remain Webmaster.

Do what you love, and hold onto your soul. Others want it - they want it so bad they will trick you into warping it to meet their aims. Celebrity is just such a beast. You should use it, but always be mindful of its vicious sweetness, lest you find your nose bit clean off.

Take these opportunities to ceate your own niche. You are fast becoming a unique specimen, and your experiences will need to be catalogued before you forget what you learned along the way. Take advantage of the periphery - you are trodding along only partially realizing that you are a pioneer. Mark your trail, and be humble in this role.

I don't give advice much, simply because I don't think that I (or anyone under 90) am qualified. But I see you move in the right direction, or at least, you act like you are. Seems like a little of what wisdom I have can't hurt you.

Mighty nice of them to post all those job openings next to a story about a failed actor. That electrical apprenticeship looks promising.

What? There was a question, that who have the best site?? There is no question just one simple answer : WILWHEATON.NET!!!!!
When capt. Picard says: Number one...! It means : WILWHEATON.NET!!!!!
-A GIRL FROM THE HEART OF EUROPA-

Wil -- failed actor you're most certainly not. I'd categorize you as a very successful guy. Sure, you're still fighting for roles, but hey, so are most actors, and the ones who aren't, well, sometimes they suck because of it. And you have work in so many other areas, too... I look up to you, man, you've accomplished a lot!

I can't believe the Gate read your weblogs and came up with the observations they did. But they were reading them in the context of doing a story, not in the daily, community way that we do, so of course they didn't see the Wil we see.

One thing that sucks about all this additional coverage of your site on Fark and the Gate -- assholes that haven't been around long posting jerky comments just to be provocative... geez you'd think these guys had only been online a month. I stopped trolling like that online in 1987, jerks.

you are not a failed anything, wil! and neither am i --so i always check in on your site like once a week since april because you help me remember that we are all as successful as we allow ourselves to be. so there. love, maria c.

I dunno wheather to laugh or cry. And the worst part is i dnno why.

I haven't read the article yet, but let's get one thing xlear- you're not a failed actor, Wil! You're working, you're happy, you've been part of some great projects... it's all good! :)

Whoa! There's always a few bad apples in the barrel. FatChicksRule - I think you meant to post your comment here: www.losers.org. Hopefully, Uncle Willy will delete your message. Trash should go where it belongs, in the trash.

And Wil, again, another voice from the masses saying that you're not a failed actor. Actor - definitely. Talented Actor - yes. But, failure - not by any measure of the spectrum.

Yes, I'd like to see you in more tv and film, but at least you're not the flavor of the week that crops up anywhere there's air to breathe (like bad gas) taking parts that just aren't suited for them.

Here's to hoping that someone in Hollywood will wise up and give you the good part that you deserve.

I happened upon this site by complete and total accident. Only became a regular visitor earlier this year. The way you write, and the ordinary things you write about, apply to all of us [well, apart from the auditions thing...]and I responded to you in a way that surprised even me. Guilty as charged of preconcieved ideas about you, and probably all my other fave celebs too [will have to work on that]. You are successful because of your attitude, which is one of the reasons I keep coming back here. That, and Spudnuts.

wil: who i see when i read your blog is a person i never knew before...oh, i've seen you in the movies and of course television...but that's not really who you are...this blog illuminates the real wil...the boy who got dumped by his girlfriend 'cause he got too big for his britches...the boy who was laid low by an unkind comment at a family fourth of july celebration...and the man who found that real love and a family overcame whatever state his career was in. and no you're not a failed actor...that would mean that you had quit trying...from what i read here it sounds like you're still out there giving it your best shot...and that's all anyone can do...you may not have the career you want right now...but eventually you may end up with the career you need.

ok for one wil...you are definately NOT a failed actor! people would kill to have the roles you had and have! personally, i think that my life would be all worth while if i would have been able to be in a movie such as "stand by me". your crazy to think you are a FAILED actor!!
your loyal fan,
sara

ok for one wil...you are definately NOT a failed actor! people would kill to have the roles you had and have! personally, i think that my life would be all worth while if i would have been able to be in a movie such as "stand by me". your crazy to think you are a FAILED actor!!

hey sorry about the repeat...
happy days,
sara

Wil, nice job! Finding happiness is a rare thing is this world these days, unfortunately, so you are a complete and total success and inspiration to everyone! There are two sites I HAVE to check on a daily basis: yours and mouseplanet. Thanks for being there!

Failed actor?

I think I need to get a new dictionary... Now, the people who don't hire you, they have some kinda failing. So many people can't wait to see you on the big screen or on TV... that's not a failed actor. That's a popular one. We Wuvs Wil ;)

What, you're NOT secretly pining away for me, impressed by the intelligence I so humbly display for all at AICN?

/runs for his life

I came for the failed actor.

I stayed for the flan.

We ARE getting flan, right?

Okay, back up for a sec. Where's this "Wil's wife is fat" stuff coming from? Is this something that Ms. FatChicksRule is just making up, or is there some kernel of truth here?

If so, I'd have to say that it only improves my perception of Wil. It takes a real man to be able to look beyond what many people deem to be "faults" and see someone's inner beauty.

Which isn't to say that chubby girls aren't hot, as they most certainly can be!! A cute, nice, loving and CURVY gal should be every man's fantasy.

I saw Jeff Bridges's site a few weeks ago and I didn't like it simply because I couldn't read his handwriting. Innovative, yes, but also sloppy.

When Wil was mentioned limos, first class air travel and teen magazines in his last blog entry I was jarred. I was jarred because I tend to forget that Wil is a "celebrity". I don't mean that in a "your career sucks, you're a has-been" sort of way. Far from it. Wil is Wil. Wil is real and accessible, and I say this even though I only know him as a face I've seen on TV and a name that I read on my computer monitor. That's not to say that I've forgotten his career. No, I still see the occasional Wheaton movie or TNG rerun and have flashbacks to the episode of Family Ties he did ("Indians") but this is Unca Wil, head monkey, and he is just IS.

Happiness is #1 priority and the fact that Wil has achieved that and seems to be at peace with himself is wonderful.

Right or wrong, that's MY perception of Wil Wheaton.

Now start getting some acting gigs, preferably ones that bring you to my city. I'd love to buy you a beer, have verbal conversation and tell you about parts of the city that "celebrities" don't usually venture to.

Hmm Rupaul's site was kinda cool...

Urm, I don't really have a point here.

Wil,

CONGRATS on being mentioned.... but it is SAD and PREDICTABLE that the media insists on the negative with how they describe people -- thankfully you are very balanced and able to rise above their nonsense -- so keep the faith and keep on bloggin'

Dude you are not a failed actor- and we are all lucky to be able to see you as you are when you write speaking of which-- When are you going to write a Book?????

Well We're waiting!!!!????!?!?!?

^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
*****
WIL!!!!!!! You know, you turned out an ok guy. Not that many people who were child 80's stars accomplished that. I respect you through and through. You are just one of my celebrity crushes who is a sweetheart. Thanx for living. *cough*HOTTER THAN EVER*cough* :-D ~~*Gooniegirl*~~
*****
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

Hmm if being a 'failed actor' means being known round the world for your roles, (hands up anyone who hasnt heard of wil? nuff said), then bring on failure for all struggling actors.

Besides, failure isnt about results. NOT trying, thats failure - even if you dont succeed, the attempt at any dream/goal is true success.
Happy wife and kids, lots ppl who like you on and offline - you are no failure at anything:)

All i know is that guy is a moron for thinking Jeff Bridges site sucks. I'd say it more like AMAZING and ORIGINAL. At least he got the wwdn part right. loggin jams and jammin logs.

What one will find here a very down to earth individual. (Oops, sorry to affend those of you who still think Wil really still works in outer space.)

There are some great people here who post regularly and then there is that dude from Montana who...

Congratulations on the article, Wil, even though it's something we all already knew. In some ways, it was nice to have this site as an undiscovered cool thing I could tell my friends about and have it be kind of like a special secret that was just hidden within the reach of our fingertips. Now, as you get more and more publicity for it...... Well, I guess I'll just have to switch to being glad to be ahead of the curve.

Do ex-Star Trek actors get skidmarks? I't s been an interest of mine for years. Maybe less.

the focus of the article is the gossip--God forbid anything intelligent be highlighted, because the human equation is much more boring.

the fact that this site exists (and more importantly, works) is because it IS intelligent. and more power to you for keeping it that way.

Why don't people ever notice that groovy orange banner on the left?

When's THAT site gonna make into the Gate or into Hef's mansion.

This is bullshit.

It's all about you, Hamil, isn't it? You and Darth Fucking Vader as your father.

Whatever.

roughy...i've been there...and i'll be back.

Ok, I feel the dork. I raced over here as soon as I was handed the paper this evening, and what do I see?

You've already seen it. I should've known.

Maybe now, Jimmy Kimmel's cousin will have to answer to YOU, as you've been recognized.

(Although why they had to put the pic of Bill Shatner up, we'll never know.)

This is still the only celebrity web log that I read, but only because Steve from Blues Clues isn't blogging.

I messed that up, it was steveswebpage.com

failed actors? are there any of those on WWDN? granted, i don't hang around here 24/7 or anything, and only just started checking out the soapbox, but i only know of one actor here... one of the goddamned best there ever was, too. yeah, all i can see is one great big freakin' success. an actual legend. we don't get to see him as much as we'd like to, and i don't know why or how that could be. at the substantial risk of offending said legend, i'd guess that perhaps a better agent might help to alleviate some of his audience's thirst for more, bigger, higher-profile parts.

Wil Wheaton, you are one of the greats; a living legend and a really decent human being, for chrissakes. pull some throats out if you have to... buck down and get as dirty as you can get, because there are so many people in the world, a lot of whom don't even know about this site, who are clamoring for a mighty, triumphant return to the land of Top Five Great Film Lists!

the public's love for amazing, top-quality ARTists like yourself does not fade away... only the media's and the advertisers', because they're only out for a quick fuckin' dollar. WE'RE out for glory, and we need it, from you, now more than ever.

break a leg, champ.

UMMMM I just stopped by cause someone told me there was a hell of a party going on. Meeting a cool guy that I wouldn't mind watching a hockey game and drinking a beer with was just a bonus.
I gotta admit that the whole Shakespear reference was pretty funny. Why don't you try doing the monolog you wrote on the website on stage in Shakespear costume? I bet it would be a riot.

Failed Actor? WTF?
I hope you were referring to some sort of perspective.

Surprise and delight, here.

Also, a failed actor is an actor who has never been perfect in a role. You have done a great deal of high quality work. Therefore, you cannot be a failed actor, ever. You've already made that possibility uh, impossible.

You are still a dork, though.

The Good Things.
Top of your game. Haven't missed a beat.

FTR-

I don't think of myself as 'failed.'

I was saying that if that's what someone was looking for, they could find it, if they looked hard enough, and ignored certain things.

That's all. :-)

As soon as I saw the "blog" in the headline I thought, "this has to have wwdn in the article".
Your post makes me wonder what Vin Diesel's daily weblog would look like. I wish more celebs had websites, but not the kind that just hypes their latest project or shills for their favorite crap. Cool thing about good, heartfelt blogs shows you that the reverse is true too. Normal (real) people with real dreams and real problems become celebs with their blogs. They just don't get anything out of the exposure. Except stalkers.

Wil,

After seeing Jeff Bridges' web site, I understand what's wrong with your site. Your site lacks clay heads. It's so clear now. You have some whitespace on your site that you should fill with clay heads. It's all about the heads. They don't even have to be clay. You can take your TNG figures and melt them down into heads.

>

Actually... I came here for the donuts and free coffee.

And the plastic stirrers.

46 and 2 just ahead of me..

great song wil I didn't know you liked Tool.

I have new respect for the wilinator.

Wil,
You are not a failed actor. What is your definition of a not-failed actor? I have seen alot worse actors than you. You still audition.
You still search for good parts. You do not handle casting. You are a good writer but you are not Toni Morrison. You are not the best or the worse. You more than any of us know that you are in a tough business. You still comunicate with
people on the web. Alright you can tell us HOW MUCH ARE THEY PAYING YOU?
F.G.

I agree. Wil you are not a failed actor. Your acting gets better with every new part you play.

Congrats on the #1 thing. As Martha says: "It's a good thing".
Dee

Why is it that when an actor decides to do indy films, for say, quality reasons, he's considered as failed? I just don't get it.

Wil, I sure as hell don't think this way. I mean, come on...Jane White already! And Arena. Geez. I guess it's all how you preceive success. And Wil, you're the only truly "successful" actor I know of, although I'm sure there are others out there.

My mom's been buying TNG on DVD and I started watching them for something to do... and remembered why I spent most of my childhood wishing I was in space. Then I read this article in the Chronicle and (as I have my own blog/webjournal) thought I'd check it out. I'm definitly glad I did.

Nice article.

Dunno what I came here looking for.? You just usually make a lot of sense & you're got an entertaining journal to read.

We also come to this site and find an excellent writer.

Excuse me.. But, FAILED?? Come on Wil. You're Gordy! You're Wesley Crusher! Your other films may not have done so well, but who gives a shit. If you combine all the people who like the above characters, you are a hero! People who do films for their content and not what they get paid have a place in my heart because that makes them real. Like you :)

Wil,

you are the first site I go to every night I
work.. then it's ctnow, weather, mailtribune

and you know... I've never seen capt. Pikards
site ??? hmmmm... does he have one?

what about; Data & Worf... #1 ???

later

HEY..Not ONLY are you the FIRST site I go to...

YOU are the ONLY damn site I go to.

SO THERE!...SCREW THEM.

I'll just add my comments to the rest. WWDN is a regular stop for me. I can't watch episodes of TNG now without focusing on Wil and having a wee bit of insight as to where he was back in the late 80's early nineties. As for "failed actor," I'd say if you're working in the business and enjoying your work you're probably a lot more successful than some who are "getting the part." My opinion. Anyway.

I came here without ever having seen a Wil Wheaton film, and I never really watched TV. I came here because of Wil's Killoggs debut. I wasn't looking for a "failed actor" or a "celebrity journal" or really anything at all. I had laughed at his jokes. So I read a few posts.

I don't read WWDN because it's the best "Celebrity blog" around; I read it because Wil has presented an insightful viewpoint on topics I have found to be extremely interesting. His post on the "Open Letter to America" struck me as precisely the response that is warranted. He looked past the hyperbole and rhetoric and extracted the kernel: an opportunity and excuse for profound self-reflection and critical evaluation is before us and we would be wise to consider it. His posts are generally well informed and well considered. His goodbye post to Mint-in-Box Wesley was amazing. And the WFS shirts are just cool.

Sure, Wil, there are a lot of people who come looking for some element of "celebrity." But there are also some who find, without looking too hard, a decent, intelligent, articulate, good-humored guy who'd probably be hella fun to hang out with. Thanks for the good reads.

As an ex-social worker and counsellor, I really get what you're saying.
As an ex-actor before all of that, I really understand where you're coming from.
But I did find something worrying, and I hope I'm just reading into it.
You're not a failed actor Wil, you're a very successful actor who simply isn't acting right now, and experiencing a few ups and downs as he attempts to make the transition from teen-hit to adult actor. You're just searching for your niche, and maybe you've already found it, it's just nothing like you maybe expected!
As a fan, I've never seen you as a failure. With your weblog you've become something of a successful example of how a person can screw up and actually realise you've screwed up. You're more successful in more important ways than many Hollywood people may like to think.
Wil, ya just rock!

F – Famous
A – Accessible
I – Intelligent
L – Lucid
E – Educated
D – Dedicated

A – Aging
C – Crusty
T – Talented
O – Ordinary
R – Rawkin

Yup, that certainly describes you Mr. William Shat…

Ah, shit! Posted on the wrong web site again.

:}

You're a trendsetter Wil.

I think it's amazing and ironic that Wil keeps popping up in online articles that pigeon-hole him as an actor who ceased to be famous. Ha! Wil's getting more play online in a week than most celebs get in a year's worth of Entertainment Tonight.

Sure, it doesn't pay the bills or put food on your table. But you've got truckloads of strangers who find you quite likable and brilliant, and just for being yourself. That's something very few people ever accomplish, let alone someone who survived the fakey, smarmy cesspool that is a career in Hollywood (and all he got was this lousy t-shirt...)

Good on you, Wil, for knowing what's important to you and for staying true. Ever consider a career in philosophy? ;)

I love seeing the "normal person". I love seeing the happy father and husband.

:-)

I am becoming more and more amazed with Wil Wheaton.

I was never a huge 'wesley fan' and I was never a 'wesley hater' I thought he did well in all of his movie and TV appearences.

But the quote at the end:

"If someone came here looking for a failed actor, they could find that. If someone came here looking for a very happy husband and father, they could find that too."

This has impressed me more than anything else Wil Wheaton has done or said up until now.

I live In Japan with my wife and daughter. I own an English School, and we are a pretty happy family.

I studied International Studies at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, and had been an executive member of one of the best model UN teams in the world. For 7 years of my life (during and post college) International relations was not just a career goal. It was my life.

Almost Four years ago, I was debating asking my wife to marry me. I was almost at the end of my contract as a teacher on the JET programme and I had to decide if I wanted to go back to the US for grad school or stay in Japan. I tormented myself with this decision for months.

One day, out of the blue, a friend of mine from Bangladesh who had a lot of friends in government there called me.

"hey man, how's it Going"

"Pretty good, just trying to decide what to do with my life" I said

"Well then, no need to worry. I think I can get you in as a consultant on a UNDP project over here. My father knows the guy doing the hiring. It's yours if you want it."

Suddenly I was given the break I had always wanted. I could even start my grad school with distance learning while getting experience in the field and making myself marketable. It was like everything I had dreamed about since I was a college freshman was bieng handed to me.

The only thing I had to do... was tell Noriko.

I remember the day I got the phone call. I had dinner with Noriko that night at a small Izakaya (japanese pub) in the Japanese countryside with a few of our friends.

We ate dinner, started singing Karaoke,　and then started talking. We got to the part of the conversation where I had been planning to tell everybody about my job offer. I told my friends that I had a big announcement to make. I looked over at Noriko's face. She smiled at me, in the way that only she has ever been able to do. And at that moment, I knew what I had to do.

I told my friends that I had been thinking about my future. I told them I had many dreams. I told them that promoting good relations between all countries was my life's dream. And I told them that I couldn't think of any better way to promote love and understanding between The US and Japan than to raise a children with Noriko who could understand both languages and cultures and help explain to those around them.

I didn't tell them (or noriko) about my job offer. I knew Noriko well enough to know that she couldn't have gone with me to Bangladesh, and wouldn't have let me stayed. So I didn't tell her, We got married, and I am a happy man today because of it.

some people I knew in College have asked me why I 'threw away my career' to get married. I have never thought of it that way.

I do admit that I chose not to follow a dream I had for a long time. But vefore I had a dream of being involved with the UN, I had a dream of being a doctor, and of being an astronaut, and of bieng a fireman.

It's just that as I got older, and became better able to understand my own needs and feelings, I was able to adapt my 'dreams' from those that were 'popular' or 'expected' or 'cool' to those that were 'rewarding' and 'fulfilling' and 'sustainable'

So I guess I don't know what I was 'looking for' when I came to this website. But I guess What I think I found is somebody who, like me, has had many opportunities and many dreams. And I have to give a big thumbs up to anybody who can choose a family over a career. It's a scary terrifying thing when you decide to do it.

Hm...wouldn't 'hooker with a penis' be a better name for the title of this blog? (insert tool reference here) :)

I was ready to get really pissy over the 'failed actor' comment until you clarified :-)

Success is where preparation meets opportunity.

You've done the preparation.

I believe your best acting opportunities are in your future (hopefully your near future).

Someday the right script is going to come around and you're going to make some casting director very happy - as you have before.

Regards.

Came to this site from a web search for 'Linux Mandrake Abit AT7'

Funny what you come across on the WWW

Think I may visit again. Provocing some thoughts.

Well damn...I just only checked out your site ocassionally...but now with the Tool reference, I'll have to come back more often...and watch the weather change. (Tool reference #3...heh)

I wouldnt say thats altogether accurate.
I think a lot of people are becomming more aware that acting is a job like any other and that it has many levels of success as other jobs do ranging from personal satisfaction and creativity to financial gain and celebrity.

I came here because I wanted to see who you were. I think it was more of a reaffirmation to me that you're just you. And although you never get much of a chance to reply to my comments I too get busy and sometimes i dont get a chance to check up on you. I have a journal online too. I like to understand people. Or at least try. You have made a small part of your life accesible to me to try to understand and as you have a very different lifestyle to anyone i know its interesting to me.

I think celebrity creates a surrealism for people. It is a media maintained Illusion. Once you get past the fact that every t.v star needs to deficate, sleep and eat (although some less than others) and accept them as human you'd be just as likely to fart in a crowded elevator with them as you would a total stranger.

I don't know what I was expecting when someone on a mailing list I subscribe to mentioned something about Will Wheaton having an awesome website. I thought well, that's interesting and forgot about it for a few days. Then flipping channels I caught an episode of ST:TNG and couldn't help thinking about the website. So, I dug around the site a little. Overall, I was happy that Wil's life turned out so much better than some of other actors I watched during that time. And I am very impressed with the writing.
I guess I came to WWDN out of curiosity and stayed because I found a kindred spirit, a funny, warm, welcoming person who is more than I thought he would be.
