Dear Taurus,
Do not be afraid, for today you will be emotionally volatile, combative, and struggle with taking orders. Stay Humble. Also, your daily routine will be thrown out of whack. Embrace it!
Dear Horoscope,
You know where you can stick you and your wisdom...
Dear Taurus,
Suck it.

Celebrity + Young Women = Naked Pictures on the Internet
Howdy Folks,
So as I sit in my bay watching the day fly by, I was again presented with the TOTALLY THRUTHFALL FACT that so many young Actresses' Singers' who are about to break out tend to take naked pictures of themselves, and then AFTER they make it big, said pictures are revealed, usually on that sleazeball Perez Hilton's website. Today it was one of the Vampire Girls from Twilight the one who plays "Alice" (no I will ot post a link to these, because that would be raw) But this seems to happen, and now the girl Ashley Greene is threatening a lawsuit, and will probably make a big deal of this, because well, she may have lost her movie career, because the BRAND of Twilight is being so carefully watched and controlled. BUT, BUT on the other hand, they could have actually leaked these pics in attempt to get more Male Viewers into Twilight. So I guess the morale is, anyone, actress or not, should probably not take Naked Pictures of themselves if they do not want it to end up on the internet. EVER.

Schemas
sche⋅ma [skee-muh] Show IPA
–noun, plural sche⋅ma⋅ta [skee-muh-tuh or, sometimes, skee-mah-tuh, ski-] Show IPA , sche⋅mas.
1. a diagram, plan, or scheme.
2. an underlying organizational pattern or structure; conceptual framework.
3. (in Kantian epistemology) a concept, similar to a universal but limited to phenomenal knowledge, by which an object of knowledge or an idea of pure reason may be apprehended.
Recently the conversation of schemas has been brought up and discusses along with how scary and painful it is to have them challenged and all, and I couldn't really remember a time when I was seriously on the fence about changing them in a way that was scary, but I could totally remember a few times when Rachel has called out my schemas, and you know like shattered them. For an example, see below:
One day, a long time ago.
Will says "Something incredibly stupid."
Rachel says, "Will, do you know how incredible stupid and moronic, one sided, unthoughtout, ridiculous, and in some deep down way, utterly frightening, what you have just said was."
Will says, "Uhhhhh....."
Rachel says, "Let me, uh, break it down for you, see the problem is you didn't think of this this this and this, and because you probably think this and that, and that's stupid and etc, please see above."
Will says "Schema shattered."
Will cries a little.
Rachel laughs a lot.
So, I have no choice but to wonder if it would be more painful to question my own schemas then to have Rachel or someone like her shatter them for me. I guess I'll never know.

The New Phone
I believe that a few of you, nearby know that I got a new phone recently, and I Love my new phone. I asked them to give me the best phone possibly that was not a smart phone and did not intuitively want E-Mail. And again, it's great. The ONE thing that I do not like about it, is it's uncanny ability to do things on it's own in my pocket. So I've made numerous accidental phone calls, and also activated many of it's features or had it talking to me. No Bueno. So, if I accidentally call you and you just hear muffled sounds and my voices, I apologize. Hasta!

Ameritrek 2009: Pre-Production Blog 1
With Pre-Production beginning on Ameritrek 2009, I have 25 days left to prepare for the big day. And the amount tasks required to go is daunting. Mostly because work is so hectic right now. I'm working on like 3 fracking projects right now! And just trying to get some good sleep in is hard, but you know some things need to happen, like for instance:
- Getting a good pair of sunglasses.
- Getting my Car's AC working, and getting a pretty good check up.
- Seeing GI Joe, Inglourious Bastards, District 9, and probably (500) days of Summer (again.)
- Getting a new backpacking pack (Damn Straps!)
- Figuring out my budget (this is not a feature film where you can go WAY OVER BUDGET and just not tell anybody, alternatively, I'd hate to fire myself and never beable to work again, and yeah, I know I combined be and able, but I'm just way too lazy to go back and fix it.)
- Getting a new laptop battery. (I'm getting about 20 minutes of battery power at this point.)
But, on the bright side I have a schedule now. Here's some of the highlights.
- 20 Locations in 2 months, including 12 days in the East Coast.
- Seeing many friends I have not seen in YEARS!!! (And some friends I saw last month.)
- Blog updates about the different kinds of yoga that I plan on hitting up.
- Scheduling in a good 2 or 3 hours of writing every day, and sometimes in extremely beautiful locations.
- Singing in the car at the top of my lunges, in the most beautiful locations (See the pattern.)
- Being with my Brother when he has his second child (he would probably say, showing off his new jet ski.)
Next up, I need to mail out my Calender to a few friends that might be interested in hitting up a leg or two of the trip, (if I were you I'd do the Nashville, New Orleans leg, (seriously. For Real.) )
I also have to tell my roommate that I just don't have the energy to sublet the place so he's going to have the whole apartment to himself for 2 months (there is something criminal about it, I almost want to saddle him with a 45 year old divorced male actor moving here from Wisconsin, but you know that would be spiteful, and I'm just too tired for spiteful right now.)

It's a Crazy Crazy World
So... if you were like a vampire, don't you think right now would be the best time to come out. The world loves you right now. The media loves you right now. Teenage girls LOVE you right now. And Teenage Girls kind of RULE the world, or at least that's what the media kind of believes. I mean, Titanic kind of proved that.
All I'm saying is that, if there is a secret WORLD of the Vampires, a Vampire Nation, don't you think that they are probably having internal high-level conversations about if they should reveal themselves to the world. I mean, can they stay hidden forever (well, okay they probably could.) But they should at least consider it, because now is probably their only real chance of finding some kind of acceptance. (Which would probably change, once massive amounts of Teenage Girls lined up to stay Teenage Girls forever along with their older, but equally romantic loved starved cousins and mothers, and then there would be a witch hunt to kill the vampires and the Girls/Women, and that would totally suck, because then there would be a worldwide sausage party, which nobody wants. NO BODY WANTS THAT.)
But you know, in this over-saturated Vampire world that we live in, I kind of long for the days when liking Vampires was something you did secretly, a time when it was dark and lived in the darkness, because it made you feel special, it made you feel like you weren't with the popular ones, and you weren't a loser like those people who worshipped Marilyn Manson.
But now everybody's into it. And it acceptable to everyone to dig the vampires, kind of like, but worse then the Capt Jack Sparrow, making Pirates cool, but on a whole different level, because you know, Pirates are still kind of not cool. Anyway, Thanks "Twilight."
I wonder what those loner high school students are into now? Where do they go when they want to be alone, when they want to identify with other iconic loners? Do you think they can join in with their popular, cheerleader cliques, and scream when the "New Moon" trailer plays. Do they all get in be at the party and get along, holding hands and stuff? I don't know, but I think that I don't see this ending well. We shall see.

Back from the Depths
Cough.
Cue the Dramatic Music with Japanese Taiko Drums.
Voice Over Guy, "Deep within the jungles of Los Angeles..."
Random people's voices ---
"Will, are you ever going to blog again?"
"Hey Will, why aren't you blogging? WTF?"
"Dude, whatever happened to your blog?"
"You know what, Fuck you, and your blog."
Voice Over Guy "Stood one man. Alone."
In a bar, after 5 whiskeys, Will looks out, bloodshot eyes, "I can't do it. I can't keep blogging. I've got nothing to blog about. All I think are negative things, things that would make people sad." He breaks a glass in his fist.
Cut to: Will stares at his bleeding hand in the shower, "Dammit, I keep starting a blog and it gets all negative and then I stop and erase, I CAN'T DO IT!!!" A tear is shed, but no one can see it because of the shower.
Voice Over Guy, "And day's passed, and months passed, but one day..."
Will looked out through his eyes, through his car window, and into the sky and he said, "I can blog again. I can do this."
Voice Over Guy, "Faster. Stronger. And still Crazy. Will Gong is back!"
Yup, it's true. I'm back and here to get ya'll prepped for the Crazy Trip I am planning, but more on that tomorrow.
Cough, I hope.

Awww... Hell No!!!
Look, I can understand my man Ebert not liking "Star Trek" (okay, I really can't, but that's beside the point.) BUT TO GIVE "NEXT DAY AIR" a better rating then "Star Trek" is ridiculous. RIDICULOUS!!! just saying...

Pro Basketball. I'm loving It!
Hello Friends,
As you can tell I haven't blogged much, and this has much to do with the fact that this time last year, the Wizards were getting knocked out of the first round by the Cleveland Cavs again, and I had much hating on Lebron to do. This year, the Wizards didn't make the Playoffs by a long shot and so I have not blogged.
Not that I'm protesting, but you know some times we need things like the NBA playoffs to make us Blog.
So this year, I wasn't even really interested in the playoffs until the Bull Vs. Celtics turned into a boxing match. These to teas are putting on the most intense, amazing, brutal, mind blowing series ever! They've had like 7 overtime periods in 6 games. Everyone is playing out of their mind. This is where superstars are born. This is where Rajon Rondo "RONDO!!!!" can become a star, and as one of the smallest players on the court, beat people up and not get kick'd out "HELL YEAH!!! Short Mischievous Bad Assses." Where Ben Gordon, can run around and just throw up a giant piece of crap and the ball goes in. Where the guys who no one knows are becoming legends (BIG BABY DAVIS!!! Who does HE Happen?). And Ray Allen is the Man. DUDE IS SO CLUTCH!!! Him going to Boston is like the best thing HE could have ever done for himself and for basketball.
IF, IF you don't respect Professional Sports for being a bunch of spoiled rich selfish millionaires, you should a get a tape of GAME 6 and watch these two gritty teams duke it out for Four Hours. FOUR HOURS!!! I can't wait for Game 7 on Saturday Night. Who knows what will happen? WHO KNOWS!!!
