My friends have made fun of me for reading Wil Wheaton's blog so much
and having his books and, most of all, mentioning him in casual
conversation.
That's OK, I can take it. Actually, I have just decided that I have a "guy crush" on him :)
I just remembered reading
a New York Times article about a concept called a "girl crush". Basically, it's just someone you think is very cool and you want to be him/her.
Wil Wheaton, or at least the person he portrays himself as, is a
great person. He's a loving step-father, husband and friend who
cares deeply about a lot of things. His writing is inspiring and
makes me wish I was as good a world citizen as he is.
His latest contribution to my impression of him? His
co-sponsoring of PokerStars tournaments to benefit Hurrican Katrina victims.
Oh well, guess my friends have more ammo for harrassment now :)
