Awesome

Anne and I are getting ready to leave. Our plane to Vancouver departs in just a few hours, and we’re finishing up the last-minute packing, and cleaning up our house, because it’s so nice to come home from a vacation to a house that’s not a mess.
Our house is usually a mess. I say it’s the hallmark of a family who works a lot…Anne says it’s because I’m lazy…I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.
So the last 2 weeks have been crazy, as we get ready for CruiseTrek. I’ve been working on 2 shows for G4, finishing all my sketch comedy writing class assignments( we have a show the day after I get back from Alaska), and re-writing my sketches for the ACME show. I also enlisted the help of my friend Sean to help me design some cool T-shirts for our sketch comedy group, which we are calling Earnest Borg 9.
Get it? Who’s with me?! Yeah!!
So the point of all this is, I’ve been really busy, just getting ready to go, and I sat down here about 10 minutes ago, just to check the weather in Alaska, and take a quick look at the website, and I thought to myself, “Hey, I think I’ll check out my walk-a-thon sponsorships, and see how I’m doing.”
Holy.
Moses.
You people RULE!! It’s been less than a week, and already we’re at $1,875.00!!
I am so ecstatic, and so proud. I don’t think I’m going to have a problem reaching my goal of $5,000. As a matter of fact, if I hit that goal by the end of July, I’m going to reset my goal and aim even higher.
Thank you, most sincerely, to everyone who has donated to sponsor me.
I will attempt to update from Alaska, so keep watching this space.
Have you checked out my Message Board yet? It’s a fun place to hang out while Uncle Willie’s out of town.

  7. It’s spelt ‘ecstatic’.
    And yeah, I trawl through the Wired looking for spelling errors. There’s nothing better for me to do with my time.
    PS I love you Wil

  9. Wil
    Have fun on the cruise, thats first. Second, that name, I actually groaned out loud I love it!

  10. Have a loverly time on ur holiday 😀 … it will be defo better than mine … 12 days in a 1 star hotel above a disco with no pool. Its the cheapest holiday of my life!

  12. on this perfect day! nothings standing in your way! on this perfect day where nothing can go wrong! enjoy yout trip!

  13. Hey have a great time on your cruise! And I just wanted to say that I think it’s a great thing you’re doing with the walk-a-thon. There aren’t enough people out there who care enough. I plan to donate as soon as my next paycheck comes in. Man, being up at school I almost forgot what it was like to make money and have some left over at the end of the month!

  18. And after that, if you’re still looking for something to do while Wil’s out cruising, why not take up a new activity such as hiking or a martial art? Plenty of stick shaking there!

  20. “Get it?”
    No.
    (Wil pulls out an even bigger club).
    Have fun on the cruise, you magnificent bastard.

  22. Congrats on the fund raising. Beats selling candy bars door to door. Have fun on your cruise. I am so jealous and hot. Kansas is so freakin’ hot.

  23. wil: i really enjoy “the quote of the day”… you’ll never know how much today’s quote really hit the spot…thanks!…d.burr

  24. Have fun on the cruise Wil! I know you’ll love it!! Cruising is one of the best types of vacations because you get to choose what you want to do… relax and do nothing, or do everything… and there’s so much to do!!!

  25. Have a great trip will… and BTW… i seriously do not get the “Earnest Borg 9” thing… (attempts to dodge barrage of flung garbage)
    anyone feel like clueing me in?

  27. Yay!!! Wil’s coming to Canada, even for a couple of days!!!
    umm… have fun on your cruise, Wil.

  28. Earnest Borgnine is an actor most famous for his role in McHale’s Navy.
    And well the Borg 9 is a Star Trek refrence.
    max
    p.s.
    I like monkeys (dont ask…)

  31. I can go to sleep tonight feeling good about myself. I decided to go make a donation, go me! It wasn’t much, not that whole $500 thing. But you said anything helps, and I have nothing better to do with my money! Good Luck Wil!
    Love Sarah~

  33. “Earnest Borgnine is an actor most famous for his role in McHale’s Navy.” -maxdamage78
    Actually, although he did well as an actor, Ernest is not Earnest. Know-what-I-mean? He crops up all over the place in pics from the 50s and 60s (eg. The Dirty Dozen), and was Ethel Merman’s husband (one of his five marriages). Man, it must have been noisey in that house.
    btw, his real name is Ermes Effron Borgnino (have fun with THAT, Wil), b. 1917. He’s still actin’, believe it or not. Good for him.

  34. Oh ya, I almost forgot, he played a key role in “From here to eternity”. I think that was his biggest role.

  37. A little advice…no matter what the Coca-cola commercial may look like…polar bears are not good for petting…

  38. Uncle Willie?
    you make you sound like a penis 😛
    oh well, enjoy the vacation i guess…..whatever…

  39. Hey, Wil! A sure-fire way to score some points: Instead of upping YOUR Avon 3-day donation goal, why not encourage your loyal base of fans and readers to sponsor ANNE? Of course, I already thought of that and sponsored you both. But, in case you wanted to be even more of a hero …
    And, another idea, I challenge all you people who, like me, have NEVER watched Star Trek, to sponsor Wil and Anne for $100 each or more.

  41. Hey Wil, I know where you live, do you have an alarm system on your house?
    JUST kidding, have a safe trip.

  42. hey wil, have a great time. We’ii get you past the $5,000 mark easly, trust us we all luv ya

  43. Hey wil, have a great time
    We’ll get u past your $5,000 mark. Trust us we all luv ya

  44. I know you’ve heard this a million times but… Have fun on the cruise! I wish I could go. I need a vacation. I just checked out the soapbox the other day cause I turned 18. 🙂
    Sorry I couldn’t donate but I don’t have a job right now and money is tight. I still wanted to help out though so I put a link to your homepage on my blog to help it gain more awhairness. I hope you reach your goal…. and even more. 🙂

  45. I’m a little late, but I hope you and Anne have a great vacation. Alaska at this time of year?
    It’s beautiful. Enjoy.

  46. We just met you. 🙂 In Vancouver. In a Shoppers Drug Mart. how cool was that?! My goodness. We thought of saying more afterwards but it was all over. You totally made our day. 🙂 Thanks! We needed the pick up.
    Vicky

  47. hey! we just met you! hehehe. at shoppers drugmart in vancouver. were you buying hair dye? we both had to rush to the library and tell all about the celebrity we just met. see we have livejournals. that’s what my url is. i hope you have fun on your cruise. and i hope you like canada lots. and i do think your great. and it’s great that you don’t take yourself seriously. that’s funny. look at me look at me. a big dork being a big fan with all the lines. hehehe.

  48. by the way… that’s one of my most favorite quotes. i collect them you know.

  50. Wow, I know someone who actually helped to build/custom paint Ernest Borgnine’s motorhome. Now how cool is that?
    Make sure the ship doesn’t make any false claims about being unsinkable and I’d count the lifeboats before you go on board.
