Ryan's Currently Unnamed Blog

Its been a while since I caught up with Wil Wheaton's blog... like 9 months... before he went into exile. He made this comment in his recent post (wow, he's such an awesome writer... i could read him talk about every day stuff forever... i'm willing to overlook him not responding to my secret PGP encoded fan mail like a year ago.. lol):

On my way through the casino, just after midnight on a Monday morning when the weekend travelers had gone home, I noticed that Las Vegas can be an intensely lonely town when you're here without someone, which is incredible, considering the nonstop party that this place is. There are people everywhere, but it can be like standing in a torrential downpour, and somehow not getting wet at all. I'm glad that I'm here with PokerStars, who are really like an extended family to me, so I don't have to experience those moments of lonely isolation that are so common in the flashing lights beneath the ever-present haze of smoke.

Wow... how very true... and I've had some time alone in Vegas and had those exact thoughts... but could have never have put it so eloquently. Makes me wonder how much he stuggles to write that, or if it just comes out of him naturually.

So, yeah, I don't really know what's been going on with him for the last year or so, but its always good to catch up with an old friend... even if he doesn't even know you exist.

Its kinda crazy how things often run parallel... I saw that he has been doing work for Suicide Girls and on his profile page he lists the Dresdan Dolls among his favorite bands... wow...
