Renew!

Well, it looks like the time has come for me to step into the carousel.
While I am entering my 30th year on planet earth, WWDN isn’t even officially 1 year old, although technically I had the old, lame website up at this time last year…craziness.
My “My Yahoo!” page says, “Happy Birthday, TVsWilWheaton!” and when I click it, it takes me to this page. Check out who’s number 3 on the celebrity birthday list! This made me giddy with excitement last year, and it did it again this year. 🙂
Since it’s my birthday, I think I’ll start out the celebration by posting 7 things I’m grateful for on my birthday:

  1. In 30 years, I have never had a serious threat to my health, safety or general well-being.
  2. Anne.
  3. Just for grins one day, I put together a BBS for this site. It’s become one of the most wonderful communities that I’ve ever seen on the Internet…and the people who hang out there rarely talk about me…it’s all about them, and the virtual family that they have become.
  4. Batman. This has nothing to do with my birthday, really…I just really like Batman. Especially Dark Knight Returns Batman.
  5. Volkswagen. Without VW, I may never have been concieved.
  6. I’m not afraid to cry in front of anyone.
  7. Even though I kept her up most of last night with my “goddamned snoring,” my wife has made a valiant effort to stay up with me until midnight, to tell me “Happy Birthday.” She’s currently asleep on the floor cuddling the dog.

Finally, I am amazed and grateful that people even give a shit about how I’m doing, and what I’m doing, and take the time to make things like this:

—
Thank you to everyone who sent me this image, and the cool site that posted it, and thank you to the scores of WWDN readers who have sent birthday wishes, especially those of you who have been visiting this lame website since it began.
An extra-special thank you is due to the Monkeys in the Soapbox. You guys RAWK, and you know why.

RENEW!! RENEW!!

Update at 09:27AM:
The kids in Farkistan are even doing a photoshop for my birthday! It just keeps getting better!

  1. happy belated birthday wil. And tell ryan we wish him a happy birthday also. what i would give to just be turning 13 again

  3. Happy Birthday, Wil. Congratulations on not falling off the Earth on your latest trip around the Sun.
    I recall my mother (now in her 70s) saying that prior to the 1960s no one worried about 30 (re. “never trust anyone over 30”): therefore people of her generation didn’t get all hung up on it. That was also pre-Logan’s run. Worthwhile to think about it. Anyway, you’ve hit that age in style (good marriage, kids, and interesting career).
    But I can’t resist a dig: you aren’t entering your 30th year. You did that when you turned 29 (birthdays indicate years elapsed: a baby turning 1 is just finishing its first year, not entering its first year). You’re entering your 31st year.
    Doh!

  4. Well Happy Birthday or “Chronia Polla” Wil!, Without you I could be in a very different direction nowadays.
    Thank you for being who you are and did what you did.
    Keep those blogs running!

    This my section! I’m back! Finally saw you on E.T. I’m like “HOTTIE!!” To bad I was born in 86′ b/c there are so many of you born around 71′ that have bf potential! You know, you’re the reason I’m getting in to Star Trek TNG again? That and the fact that I’m getting myself ready for Nemesis and hoping to see Picard and Riker nude at the Betazed ceremony. To bad that they get sidetracked!! *sniffs* Oh well, they wanna let kids see this too! Well, now I gotta rocket!! L8rs!!! ~~*Gooniegirl*~~

  7. On your not-now-birthday, here’s a little secret Wil: You weren’t my most hated Star Trek character. That one was the substitute Doctor for your on-screen Mother, who was so bad I refuse to remember her character’s name. Which means you were only my second-most hated! Things to be proud of, I should have thought.

  8. I saw your 30th birthday and the fact you gave Ashley Judd her first TV kiss mentioned on TV’s “Entertainment Tonight”. Happy 30th!

  10. Happy birthday you old fark.
    The funny thing is, you don’t look a day over Wesley Crusher…How do you keep those stunningly boyish looks? Must be the pollutants in the West Coast water supply.
    Batman fan are ye? I have a present for you on my website then…
    a Batman Lives script written by Kevin Smith.
    I haven’t read the whole thing, and I can’t guarantee it’s authentic. But if it’s the real deal, it’s a Batman script written by Kevin “Muthafarkin'” Smith.
    It’s in the Projects / Scripts area. You have to do some digging because my site is a pop-up window and an I-Frame. That bothers a lot of people, which is exactly why I do it.
    Now, I’m going the hell to sleep.
    But on the serious tip. Happy birthday Wil. You’ve got the world by the short and curlies, and it sounds like you know it, you enjoy it, and you appreciate God, Allah, Vishnu, Whoever everyday for it.

  11. Wil,
    Came here to check on an updated post, non yet , so I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Anyway the other reason I came here is to wish Ryan a happy 13th birthday today. Hope you all have alot of fun today. I guess the updates will come in time.
    Have a great day today wil with your family.
    Matt………..

  14. Happy Belated Birthday! I’m counting the days til Nemesis so I can see you acting again. Until then, I’ll have to settle for TNG reruns.

  16. omigosh, that script is GOOD! i didn’t read all of it yet, though..
    i can see Wil as lex luthor..with a HUGE fake bald. :p
    Wil, you gotta get some director buddy(Roger Avary, perhaps..??) of yours to direct it and you can play lex, it’d be so cool!! =D whaddya say??

  19. Happy Birthday Wil!
    May you never find your mind.
    You also got a mention on E.T.
    Nice.
    Love and Peace for times ahead.

    Thanks Mike. If I really cared, I’d get all huffy and be all “I’m not a dick.” But it’s kind of stupid.
    Whatever.

  21. A Belated happy birthday Wil!
    I spent your special day flying home to Canada from South Korea. As I passed through Vancouver airport I saw the sign for cruise boat patrons, and stopped for a moment to acknowledge your birthday!
    Hope it was a good one.

  22. Hey Wil — try Dark Knight Strikes Back, Miller’s followup to Dark Knight Returns. The sensibility is very, very different.
    I love life. I wish I had a pony,
    Tom

  24. Hey! Belated Happy Birthday!!
    Oh man, I am such a Batman FREAK!!
    Do you still read the Batman comics? If you do I’d love for you to comment on the latest storyline. Batman was funny in Kevin Smith’s version of Green Arrow. If you want any links to any Batman websites, let me know. 🙂
    Glad you enjoyed your birthday. 🙂
    Here’s to hoping you have many many more. 🙂
    luv,
    -Su
    ps. Don’t know if you remember writer Peter David, but he’s following your lead and has his own webblog thingy at peterdavid.net (but his server has issues or something and is down right now)

  25. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE ACTOR, WRITER…TO YOU WIL!!!!!!:*(kiss)
    …oh and one year before I just find your site, and when I saw that you updated on that day in the morning….oh Iwas sooo happy that I was so near to you..in time!!!!!! That was a really nice day!!

it’s in a book

I noticed something about the way I read books, yesterday. When I start a book, it's like I'm sitting in an empty space, completely surrounded by the fog of war. Over some number of pages, that fog is pushed back and the world in the book begins to populate the formerly-empty space. Eventually, that space is on the other side of a portal that I step through as effortlessly as I open the cover of the book. I guess I've been doing this my whole life, but I didn't actually notice and note it until yesterday.
