Trust me, the phone will give you fun things to do. ;) Just tell me their names. hehe
Did Something Stupid
I just did something really stupid considering that I am not working at the present time. I just upgraded my cell phone. Now during the school year, it wouldn't have mattered if I spent the money to do this, but now suddenly it matters. I just hope that it doesn't impact the animals all that muc...
That is soo frickin' awesome! If you weren't a part of American pop culture, now you are!
in which I am an indirect contributor to Highlights for Children
In february, I wrote about the time that Anne and I discussed Highlights for Children at great length: "You know what I always hated about Highlights?" Anne said, "some idiot kid had always circled the hidden pictures." "Seriously!" I said, "fuck that kid, man. That kid's a dick." "And what kin...

I was pretty neutral until I saw item #6.
Are you becoming like Anakin Skywalker and turning to the "dark side"? It's not about the music, but who owns the station. How could you support a radio station whose owners are anti-gay and helped pass Prop. 8? The station's owners are Bonneville Broadcasting. And, Bonneville Broadcasting is owned by the LDS Church. It's one of the many business entities the LDS Church owns, including 2 malls in Utah. Why do you think the station's HD 'sister' is Mormon programming?
I hope you'll rethink your decision of station. I'm sure you can find one that plays music you like without taking away the rights of LGBT, many who are fans of yours.
Here's proof to what I said, as per WIKIPEDIA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonneville_International
Various things I want you to know
A few things before I forget: 1. Memories of the Future Volume 1 is available for your Kindle. It's also at Kindle.uk, and Kindle.de. It's temporarily out of the iBooks store, but I'll get that fixed in a few days. Hey, if you liked it, would you leave a review? 2. Yes, I'm working on Memories o...

Best. Blog. Posting. Ever!!
This posting only proves that you've become one of the most successful men in that group. I've always admired how you picked great roles, working w/ some of the greatest men in the industry, incl. Patrick Stewart and Rob Reiner. If more actors followed your example, we wouldn't be seeing LiLo and Charlie Sheen and their troubles.
I'm close to your age and remember when River passed away. For me, he was my first 'actor who overdosed'. It gave me an insight to the realities of the industry. But I could never figure out the real reason behind that behavior. It wasn't until I dabbled in the industry as an extra that I saw, firsthand, the mentality of the industry. The strong ones, like you, become successful in their personal lives and families. The rest, well, you know.
You're funny, smart, quirky, and a 'class act'. I'm sure your wife, kids, and parents are proud to have you in their lives. Your parents deserve all the best for raising a great son!
This blog posting only proves why I continue to be a fan of yours!
Though I hadn't seen him in over twenty years, I knew I'd miss him forever
I stood in the lobby of the Falcon Theater in Toluca Lake, and looked at Twitter while I waited for the rest of the guys to arrive. The walls were covered with posters from productions like CHiPs: The Musical and It's A Stevie Wonderful Life. Being in a theater during the day, when it's just a b...
How could you STOP liking the Smurfs, Wil?? Real Smurf fans, like myself, never stop liking them. Or, was that Evil Wil Wheaton who stopped the liking them? Either way, BOOOOOOOOO! lol :P
My caption suggestion: "Wil shows us his current state of mind, as indicated by the T-shirt he holds."
now it's just getting silly
The thing is, I don't even like The Smurfs*, but we have a friend who is working on The Smurfs, and we feel compelled to send him as much Smurf-related imagery as possible. If you wanted to caption this one, too, I'm certainly not going to stop you. *Currently, that is. When I was 8, I fuc...
Wil, before his THE SMURFS MOVIE voiceover audition, turns to the source for some inspiration.
merry smurfin' smurfmas, mothersmurfers
This is crying out for a caption. I'll choose my favorite, and send something neat* to whoever writes it. Submissions open throughout the weekend, one per person, and can only be left as comments here (it's too difficult to track on Twitter or via e-mail). *definition of 'neat' will be at my s...
In order not to seem or sound "like a dick", let me brief.
You couldn't think of a more worthwhile charity to give the proceeds to, seriously??? I could think of tons more worthwhile charities.
Be thankful you're not disabled, anyone who disagrees with the pat-down. Disabled, like myself, don't get a choice.
Sorry, I just couldn't not comment about this.
'Nuff said.
in which i join forces with @reddit for a pretty awesome auction
Some of you may know that I love Reddit (and now, I guess, you all know that. And while we're in this parenthetical, is it weird that I say "you" when writing to a few million people, many of whom I'm never going to actually meet? Is it weird to be so familiar? I think saying "dear readers" ...
What?? You're in a movie where you're in undies?? What have I been missing? (Yes, this gay man has had a crush on you since your ST:TNG days.) I'll just have to go watch TOY SOLDIERS and catch up.
Didn't you do an episode of TALES FROM THE CRYPT where you were, also, in undies?
And, yes, 80's style is, now, quite embarrassing.
Also, can't wait to see Evil Wil Wheaton make an appearance again on TBBT. Still am having a hard time forgiving him for breaking up Leonard and Penny. :( ;)
regarding dangly ankh earrings and the 18 year-olds who wore them in 1990
I shoot Big Bang Theory on Monday before I go back to Vancouver to finish out the fourth season of Eureka, so I have scored an entirely unexpected bonus weekend at home with my wife. Yesterday, we heard that Toy Soldiers was playing on local station KDOC (which was one of the truly great UHF sta...
My choice would be Salma Hayek. (Did you honestly think I wouldn't choose my own gente?)
It's not strange to think of a sexy woman. It's not like you want to boink her.
Question For the week?
This will seem kind of strange coming from a gay guy: But who is the sexiest woman alive? My answer is the lady who played my favorite superhero. I am going to say Lynda Carter.
2 words for you: the store. Remember that the next time you want something that's not at home.
Nothing Like Burning Down The House
How do I even begin to tell you what happened today while making my breakfast. I'm normally such a safety freak that it gets to my family at times. Well, I decided that I wanted pancakes and that means having syrup. I mean come on Pancakes aren't pancakes without it, am I right? Well, I had my s...
I used to think that porn stars had the average endowment size. I was wrong. They're at the higher end of the rule.
I think your animals get more action than you, lol. So, yeah, they'll be thinking, "Finally!", when you get some. I do think having those animals in the same room may freak a guy out. When you get your own place, I'd suggest a separate room just for your spiders and stuff.
As for being a top or bottom or versatile and size, as long as you can get the job done safely, that's all that matters.
The TOP
I'm borrowing the name of one of my poems to title this entry. If you're gay and frequent any sites that cater to us as a community at some point, you'll have this question thrown at you "Are you a top or a bottom?". I have to admit that I've never really gave it much thought. After all, I'm not...
I hate when people on the phone still call me "Ma'am" when they know my name is Carlos. I did get one person tell me that I sounded like a transgendered person.
Words That I Hate To Hear
I hate when I have to call someone usually my credit card company or some other business and the first thing they ask is "What is your name?" or "What is your name and age?". I give them my name and age and there is a second of silence, then my favorite words come out of their mouths "You don't ...
Happy Birthday, my fellow Leo! (Mine's Aug. 6th!)
It's my birthday!
And I am having the best birthday, ever! Thank you to everyone who has wished me happy birthday on the Twitters, and if July 29th is your birthday too, happy birthday to you! (Image by Chuck Gamble, found at WIRED's GeekDad blog.)
That last part could've been left out. Ew!
Depressed; A Kittie Died
I had a doctors appointment today, when we left all the kittens were alive. When I came home from the doctor, one of the kittens was dead. Of course, it had to be the one that I wanted. Talk about disturbing! I got to see a side of nature, that I've never seen before. Not to gross you out, but m...
I didn't get to watch today's launch, as I was on my way home and not near a TV.
However, I remember, to this day, the Challenger disaster. The prior summer, my family went to see it land at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert. Even though the weather was too hot for this kid who was in a full body cast, I remember being fascinated seeing it land and not having to go to FL to do so.
On that fateful January day, I was in the 6th grade in L.A. (where I still live). As I arrived on campus, I was approached by the school janitor, as he was friendly to me and my mom. He told me what happened and I was in disbelief. I didn't want to believe the shuttle could be destroyed.
Since it happened before class began that day, we weren't told, officially, until we got into class by our teachers. There, one of the 5th grade classes came into our classroom and our teachers were scrambling to find an available TV to bring in. They ended up finding one, where we watched Peter Jennings on ABC for most of the day. Even after we stopped watching, our minds couldn't concentrate on anything else. Even our teacher was stunned, as he had tried to get in the same teacher program but was unable to.
I don't think I'll ever forget that day. For a 10 yr. old kid, it was my first lesson in true reality. While I have never been eligible to be an astronaut due to my disability, I have always admired and respected NASA and the space shuttle program. Maybe one day, as Gene Roddenberry depicted in ST: DS9, we'll have a space program open to all, regardless of disability.
some of us are looking at the stars
On January 28, 1986, I was home from school with the flu. I remember that, no matter what I did, I couldn't get warm, so I was sitting in a hot bath when my mom knocked on the bathroom door. "There was an accident with the space shuttle," she said, in the same voice she used when she told me th...
First, opening other's mail is illegal, so you may want to remind your mom of that.
Second, HRC does shit, besides having dinner after dinner. They're the one org. that I've asked not to call me. If you need to donate, donate to your state's LGBT group or the ASPCA.
I was hurting...
Guys, I am ready to flat out cry. I've had a bad day at work. I'm at home and wanted to do what I could for the community. My mom opened my mail today which is from the HRC. I upped my donation just recently to them to $30.00 dollars. Because of this donation, if my money runs low during the ...
I can't wait to watch it! I hope they make you more of a recurring character in the seasons ahead, instead of just a guest star.
Also, could we see a possible Emmy nomination (and win) for 'guest star'?
Many Bothans died to bring you this...
I'm in Canada, working on Eureka, so I couldn't watch the previews CBS put online for The Wheaton Recurrence. Using all of my Evil Wil Wheaton powers, I contacted a sympathetic mole deep within the CBS Fortress of Power and got my hands on this preview.* I'm sorry I had to disable embedding, but...
Thank you for posting that and your opinion about it. I, too, hope for a world where intolerance doesn't keep people hiding who they are.
While some actor's past work left a bad mark on them, your work on Gene Roddenberry's series, ST:TNG, left a good mark on you, a mark of love and tolerance.
Your posting makes me even prouder to be a gay TNG fan.
James Randi: "I'm gay."
James Randi says:Well, here goes. I really resent the term, but I use it because it’s recognized and accepted.I’m gay.From some seventy years of personal experience, I can tell you that there’s not much “gay” about being homosexual. For the first twenty years of my life, I had to live in the sha...
