All the way through my post about Zach Braff I was thinking to myself; “but what about Wil Wheaton!?” No, I’m not joking. I was.
As I just spent some time complimenting Zach, it is really only fair I do the same for Wil as I’ve known about his website for a lot longer than Zach’s.
Now firstly, do I really need to say who Wil is? I’m sure most of you who read this know who I’m talking about but if you have been living under a rock since the 1980s then Wil is the child writer in “Stand By Me” and is popularly known as Wesley Crusher in “Star Trek: TNG”. It would take me a whole day to list everything else so I won’t. That’s what the IMDb is for.
Anyway, I have a soft spot for Wil. Maybe because he’s an avid blogger. Or perhaps because he’s into games (disappointingly not WoW). Or maybe because he’s also cute. But, whether he knows it or not, he has something in common with Zach – he shows himself as a real person.
What do I mean by that? Well, you have some celebrities that think the world revolves around them. If they don’t get what they want then everyone else has to suffer. They think they’re better than their fans and the staff that work for them.
Then you have the nice celebrities that aren’t divas, but don’t put themselves out their with the people either. They won’t treat anyone like crap so they’re likeable from the beginning, but they’re the retiring kind. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
You also have the celebrities that show how human they really are. They just seem to care…
I personally think everyone in this world is the same. I don’t think celebrities should be placed high on a pedestal just because they’re on TV or singing on a stage… And that is why I admire someone like Wil.
Think of high school… The celebrities of the world are the popular kids. If you aren’t one of them then you won’t be sitting at their table. But there were always a few popular ones that didn’t have a problem hanging out at the [insert none popular cliche here] table either. Those kind of popular kids / celebrities I’ve always had a fondness for.
Here’s to Wil for being one of the special popular kids.
Yea, but remember sometimes the Jock does ask the nerdy girl to the prom.
Again… great post.
That’s true enough. But that Jock may have been a normal popular to begin with (diva celebrity) and transformed into someone willing to be around non-populars (really nice celebrities like Zach and Wil and such).
Thank you. I hope I was making sense.
Yes, I understand Suzi-talk.
It’s a little like Tauran but with less grunting *lol*
Love Ya!
Hehe! Speaking of Taurens… that’s (sorta) what my next blog entry will be about!
