He's always there when I need him...

Written by in-between on

From: ms-in-between.blogspot.com

There is a man who shows up just when I need him. When my day is long and I'm tired and I don't want to talk to any more people, there he is. With wit and humor and that spark of a teenage crush that bubbles up in me whenever he arrives my way....

Yes, that would be Wil Wheaton. The very same Wil Wheaton who played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: Next Generation. I know, Jean Luc Picard was the sexy leading man of the series (sorry, Johathon Frakes - that whole looking just like William Shatner was a farce) but I was in my early teenage years when the show was on and I had a mad crush on that boy wonder...

Now let me explain here. I'm not a trekkie, nor even a superfan. There were never any Wesley Crusher posters on my wall. But I am a bit of a geek lover. I have had the privilege over the last ten years to work with some of the smartest, funniest, and interesting geeks on the planet. And I have learned more than you could possibly know about quarks, neutrinos, and other mind-boggling trivia than was safe to expose my puny brain to. So when there is something that I can add to the conversation - like knowledge of Star Trek - I jump in with both feet. (I proudly exposed my knowledge of 7of9 on July 4th to the thrill of one of Mike's friends).
There was one particular geek that I worked with who turned me on to WilWheaton-dot-net which has now morphed into Wil Wheaton in Exile. It is amazing to see how this childhood actor (who is also a geek) has grown up, pursued other interests and how he shares his view on life and politics. So, when I need a break in the day and want a little brain candy I look it up. Take a look if you are interested and share in my geek love... if not, then I will keep him alllllllllllllll to myself.........
