Interviews

Monday again

Unfortunately I have no picture to provide you so you'll have to trust my word on this one.

This weekend I was crowned "Dance Champ" at our All Saints Day celebration! I even was given a trophy which sits on my bookself as we speak.

What an acheievment wouldn't you say? We have a really great week ahead of us folks. Hope everyone weekend went well. The new comic strip starts tomorrow. I promise!

November to Remember

Well, it’s November once again and I thought I’d list off a few things that make this quite a month to remember. You know what happened during this month in History? Let’s review:

The Pilgrims first landed at what was to become Provincetown, on Cape Cod, on November 21, 1620. U. S. Marine Corps was established, November 10, 1775 Oklahoma became the 46th US State, admitted into the Union on November 16, 1907
Mickey Mouse debuted in "Steamboat Willie" at the Colony Theater in New York on Nov. 18, 1928 "The Price Is Right" premiered in Nov. 1956 "Sesame Street" premiered in Nov. 1969 "HBO" premiered in Nov. 1972 "Good Morning America" premiered on November 3, 1975 Microsoft released Windows in Nov. 1993
What a month eh folks? Have a happy All Souls Day!

I changed my mind

On second thought, I think I'll just take this week off comic strips instead.... and make fun of my little brother.

Here's a picture of the two cutest Wilkins girls you will ever meet! Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Madeline and Jordana!

Aren't they so cute? (hee hee hee hee...) Seriously, the first time I saw this I thought "Who is that chick holding Madeline?"

This is too good. I don't I've laughed this hard since Jeremy told me he enjoyed manual labor!

On a side note, I hope everyone had a good time last night and Happy All Saints Day to you all!

First off I’d like to thank the hundreds of messages I received from everyone this week. I thank you for your prayers and wanted to let everyone know that we are all doing well. If anything, pray for my grandmother. She rejoiced more than anyone else there and I was very inspired by her to say the least. She means the world to me and I love her dearly!

Now, time to move on.

A few things before I start posting strips again tomorrow. (yes that means a Saturday post)

First off. I just want everyone to know that I did not watch ONE game of the playoffs or the World Series this year. Therefore keeping my word once the Mets were out that I would not watch another baseball game for the rest of the year. When was the last time I never saw a playoff or World Series game? 1994… during the strike.

Also, I’d like to thank everyone in Texarkana for letting me once again host their annual costume contest at this years Fall Fest. Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of it as I did last time but I assure you it was quite fun.

By the way, the comic strips for the next few weeks will focus on actual things that have happened to me while giving interviews for the company. I had several of you “rotfl” (as they say) in my e-mails explaining some of these characters to you already. A lot of you have been asking for this strip for about 2 months now so I’m finally going to give it to you. I’m know you’ll enjoy it.

Finally, I’d like everyone to take a moment to celebrate today… Cardco Day. Yes sir-ree! It was on this very day back in 1993 that Cardco (my favorite comic book shop) shut it’s door for the very last time. Thus inspiring my comic book series to start.

How tragic was this loss?! Well, Baseball went on strike. That good enough for ya? If anyone would like to join me tonight I’ll be holding a candle light vigil to my comix namesake. Everyone is welcome. : )

After that, it’s All Saints Day, followed by All Souls Day, so party on this Nov. 1st and 2nd!

Hey folks.

Sorry for the delay but as a lot of you have already heard my grandfather passed away last night and went to be with our Lord and Saviour. I'll be attending the funeral tomorrow. There will be no post tomorrow.

Thank you.

FFF Final Finish

Ever hear of the horse called “Man o’ War”?

He was the most dominant race horse in history. Back in the early 1900’s he won an incredible 20 out of 21 races. He set 3 world records, 2 American records and 3 track records. But you know what the name of horse was that beat him?

Upset.

Back in the day it just meant “to be sad”. But when Upset won that day it started meaning something else….

Pulling an “upset”

Which would be referring to the horse, but soon became commonly known to mean whenever an underdog beat a massive fan favorite.

And that’s this week’s FFF!

Hello Ween (3)

Hello Ween (1)

No jingle this season

Howdy folks!

How’d the week go for everyone hmmm? Well, let me set the rumors to rest and inform you that I AM NOT going to be in the X-mas play at the theater this year. Yes, yes, I did audition, but only because I was asked to!

However, due to the fact that I cannot read music they will not be picking me up for the part. (that saved me 6 e-mail replies right there)

So, everyone get ready for a new week cause here it comes!!

FFF of the the week

Here’s a good one for ya folks!

Thinking that it spread disease, King Henry VI banned kissing in England in 1439

Ack?! Can you imagine that? A rule against smoochin?! Maybe he just bought into the belief that cooties was a deadly diesease?

Another busy week almost over folks. Anyone have big plans this weekend? Any of them involve he words “War Eagle” in them?

Ok, I’m out!

Celtic Fest 3

Ok. So the reason I'm wearing a Superman t-shirt in the videos is to signify the "World's Finest" in comic books. (notice CJ in the Batman T?!)

For those of you who do not read comic books, that's what Batman and Superman were called when they ues to team up together.

But I do hate Superman.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo23mt45IsA

By the way... that's the same shirt I wore for the "superman in classroom" video you know?

Celtic Fest 2

Do I really need to bore you with intro's?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-ae8ddczWk

Celtic Fest 1

Hey it is folks! The first of 3 videos. Enjoy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkJSHF9X78o

Video time again?

Guess what folks? I have more video footage coming out to you this week! See the World's Finest (CJ and I) were out on the town once again last week visiting the annual Celtic Fest here in Monroe.

Though not as good as our Harry Potter Nomincon, I've been recieving multiple request to show what footage we have. So I'll be doing just that through out the week!

Have another great week everyone!

FFF for October

I can't believe we're already moving thru the month of October! Where does the time fly?! Well, I did a little study about the specials things and events that took place in October so here's what I came up with!

Oct 17, 1775 The US Navy was established
Henry Ford introduced the first Model T in Oct 1903
Dick Tracy's first comic strip was printed in 1931
Orson Wells scared them all in his first broadcast on "War of the Worlds" way back in 1938
Also in 1947 President Harry S Truman gave the first televised White House address in history
The Twilight Zone premiered in 1959 and the Mickey Mouse club started on Oct of 1955 and Saturday Night Live in 1975!

Have fun this weekend folks. I know I sure am!

The jig is up

Ok, I'll spill the secret. I have a web site.

The only reason I've kept it secret for so long is because I wanted to work on it before launching it off to everyone else. Sadly it looks as though I'll never have the time to do that. So I've posted my 3 Footloose videos on it for the meantime if you'd all like to see them. Keep in mind I had a cold that night and so it really wasn't my best performance. I wish someone had filmed the 2 shows before it because I felt like those two were the best. Anyway....

www.cardco.info

The site looks like someone's high school project and will not be updated anytime soon. But at least you get to see the videos now right?

FFF rules

Here are some actual laws:

In Paraguay, dueling is legal as long as both parties are registered blood donors
It is illegal to own a dog in Reykjavik, Iceland
Every citizen of Kentucky is required by law to take a bath once a year
In Canada, if a debt is higher than 25 cents, it is illegal to pay it with pennies
In Breton, AL there is a law against riding down the street in a motorboat
In Atlanta, GA, it is illegal to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole or street lamp
It is illegal to hunt camels in the state of Arizona

Have another good weekend folks!

500

Well, I was going to post the cover up but I didn't have time to get it ready so I'll just tell you about the news.

I've just completed my 500th comic book! I can't believe I've made so many of these things, it's really amazing how long it's been going on.

I even thought of a good way to celebrate this occasion but you'll have to give me a few more days before I unveil it. And even then it won't be ready but who cares, it's going to be cool!!

Well, I'm sorry this has been a dud week for the blog. I really think this is the most boring this blog has ever been. I promise I won't let something like this happen again! No more videos for this blog, that's for sure!

Hanging up on Footloose

Well folks, I looked at every way around it and there’s no way these videos are going to make it to the internet I’m afraid. Sorry.

But when I started thinking about it, no one’s really posted much about our play anyway, so it’s kind of fitting on how this all worked out.

I still hate you E Blogger, if you’re reading.

But this whole time’s helped me reflect on what an awesome show it was. I went out this weekend and got asked several times while waiting in line at the “haunted house” in town “Hey! You’re Willard!” Kinda flattering to have celebrity stardom. (even if it’s just around your local pond!)

Big news tomorrow, plus another FFF. I have next weeks comic strip ready and it’s going to be a good one. So stay tuned!

Bad News

YouYube is telling me the 5 minute clips are too much to post even though I've seen some video posts lasting over 7 minutes but I guess that's not the point.

So unfortunantly there will not be any Footloose posts on this site.

I'll try to come up with some other fun ideas to last us through the week before posting comic strips again.

Thank you Mets

Thank you Mets.

Thanks for putting an early end to my baseball season.

Thank you for not being able to beat the Phillies ONCE this season.

Thank you for getting swept by the Nationals…. twice.

Thank you Tommy Glavine, for giving up 5 runs to the fish during the 1st inning in our most important game of the season.

Thank you Mets, for losing 11 out of your last 15 games.

Thank you for being the first team in history EVER to have such a huge lead at the end of the season and blow it at the end.

Thank you.

(Footloose videos start tomorrow)

FFF

Time once again for Fun Fact Friday!

Today's is about an exciting subject.... tablecloths!

Did you know tablecloths were originally meant to serve as towels in which guests could wipe their hands and faces after dinner? Hmmm.... try that now and see what people will think!

Well, a few of you have asked and yes I did indeed go up to the stores at mid-night this week and purchase my copy of Halo 3. But before you start blowing your nerd whistles at me, get this... I haven't even opened it yet.

Wild eh? I'm even too busy to play video games. What is the world coming to!? But I plan on taking a crack at it this weekend.

Hope you enjoyed "The Pac" as much as I did. The next comic strip idea I have is going to be a good one too. But first.... FOOTLOOSE videos!!!!

C-ya next week!

Farewell Footloose

It all came to an end last night when another OVER SOLD audience began climbing into fold out chairs just to see the show!! What a hit! I'll be posting video footage of it maybe next week.

Now with my weekends wide open it’s time to start getting back to my hobbies. Reading, jogging, drawing, and saving the world in my super hero outfit.

Gone are the late nights and bright lights and I’m comforted in the fact that it was one of the biggest productions of the year. Have an awesome Monday everybody!!

SHARK!!

Yes I did TIVO the "Jaws" marathon that came on this weekend. But even though I haven't watched them (yet) it did want me to make this week's FFF all about sharks.

Did you know the ONLY fresh water sharks in the world live in Lake Nicaragua?! I never knew fresh water sharks even exsisted?!

Officially, I have been up for over 22 straight hours. I woke up at 3 a.m. this morning and haven't rested since! (I think I'm suffering from a sleep disorder!) But I'm so glad everyone is still enjoying "The Pac" Many of you have asked how many more are left and sadly it'll be coming to an end next week. I have a great one coming up afterwards though that I know you're going to love.

So until then, I'm off to bed. Believe me when I say this has been a VERY long day!!

Football season is over!

That's right folks! Football season has finally come to an end.... for me. Now that Auburn has lost 2 games straight to the worst teams in the NCAA I am ashamed to see them mentioned as an SEC team!

So I'm done with it. Saturday's will now be spent playing my X-Box and checking the scores at the end of the day!

Good things the Mets are going to win the World Series for me this year or I'd REALLY be upset!

As for your request on Footloose, I will be posting video footage in the next few weeks pending I get someone to come in and tape it for me. Haven't found anyone yet but I'm still looking for volunteers for our last weekend.

Speaking of, the show's have been phenominal! Folks, we sold out 4 straight show in a row and it's not even our last weekend!? Will we break the box office record for Strauss??? Who knows?!

Stay tuned....

Ole Betsy!

Let's talk about our "flag" lady for today's FFF! A few things you may not have known about Betsy Ross is that she was born with a fully formed set of teeth! And besides making our flag she also ran a munitions factory in her basement. Oh dear, Miss Betsy! What will you think of next?!

Oooo, but check this cool fun fact out. Did you know that the only PEZ head made after a real person was... Betsy Ross?!? Can that really be true?! Because if it is, then someone owes me an explanation about Santa!!

Once again folks, life is busy. We came close to selling out Thursday nights show which is really amazing. If I heard correct then Saturday and Sunday are sold out too along with Friday which basically has only a few seats left! Wow. It's just that good I suppose.

Have a great weekend folks. There's plenty more of Pacman to come so stay tuned....

Take a bow!

I can't wait to start showing you folks some clips of Footloose when they become available. It's really an amazing show! I can't tell you how glad I am just to be a part of it. Even though it keeps me busier than all get out!

Also I'm glad to hear "The Pac" is everyone's favorite. Good way to start the strips back when everyone approves of the story line. Oh yes and it gets better..... wait and see.

Hope your weekend went great folks. Let's start this week off big shall we?

Zzzzz... Wha?!

Friday already?!

Did you know that a giraffe’s baby falls 6 feet to the ground when it’s born? Ouch! Talk about being dropped on your head as a baby!!

Ok, I rushed that FFF out there pretty quick to get on to other topics. One of which involves my new play “Footloose” It’s going awesome!

The opening number has the crowd cheering over and over again! And I’m not even in it!! (oh wait… maybe that’s why) But it’s really going along very well. I’m happy with it so far.

I will try to post some footage from it in the near future but for now I’m sticking to the comic strips. Which I’m glad to see everyone enjoying them. Ok folks, have another good one and I’ll see you next week!

Happy Labor Day!

Guess what I’m doing today?! WORKING!!

Big surprise huh? Well the good news is that the comic strips will be back out and in full effect as we kick off another week! I really have some good ones that I’ve been dying to break out!

On a short note, I am glad that everyone has enjoyed the videos. And I’ve been trying all weekend to figure out a way to let ya’ll listen to the recording I have of the prank we played live on the radio last week but haven’t been able to do it. Sadly, I may just have to keep that one in story form alone!

As to the e-mails I got on if there will be more videos… hmmm…. We shall see! I know many of you have been wanting comic strips for sometime now and I’m very grateful that you still care. (and here I thought the videos would make you forget all of my art talent!)

Footloose premiers this weekend. I’m hoping to have some pictures for you next week on it. We’ll have to wait and see.
Have a great off day folks… I’m off to work…

UGH!!!

I won't lie folks... it's been a long LONG week and I'm worn out!

But at least the weekend is right arounf the corner so maybe I can get some rest then! Between work and play (pun intended) I really haven't had time to do anything else?!

So let's just get right to the FFF shall we?

Did you know that on a mission to outer space, it was discovered that a frog could throw up it's entire stomach?! Yeah, and it'll use it's forarms to empty out it's contents then swallow his stomach back in!

Did you even WANT to know that folks?

Oh well.... have a good one!

Harry-Potter-Nomincon (part 4)

Sorry, YouTube was down this morning when I tried to upload the video!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwaTN565bF8

Punked!

Ok, I can talk now.

As you know, I've been on a few radio stations lately, promoting "Footloose". However when I got a call from the good people at FM 102, they wanted me for a different reason.

To pull a prank on their morning DJ.

Of course I agreed and plans were drawn up on to how it would go down. Here's how it went:

It was her birthday today so she was on the air talking about that when all of the sudden who should walk RIGHT into their studio but an avid fan..... a fan of Jeni Lane's. (the DJ)

He proceeded to tell her what an awesome women she is and what a BIG fan he is as well. He even starts to mention that he drives by her house every day and is always wanting to stop by and say hello.

At this point her face is aghast and she doesn't know what to think. The fan asks if his buddie can come into the studio too (we're still "live" here folks) before she can say anything, her boyfriend maked it through the door as the fan calmly announces....

"Hi, my name is Matt Wilkins. I am an actor and you've just been punked."

Glorious.

I should have a recording of it by the end of the week. I'll see if I can post it somehow on the blog. Until then, have a great day folks!

A little sump'um, sump'um!

Got something BIG coming up right now folks.

Stay tuned and I’ll give you the whole scoop this afternoon….

So far?

I'm amazed at the wild reponses I've received from these videos. I'm really glad you all have enjoyed them! There's more on the way!

But now let us sit back and reflect on todays FFF!

As you can already guess it's about the tiger. Did you know that not only is his fur striped, his skin is also!!

Now that I've gotten that out of the way, thanks to everyone who called telling me they heard me on the radio this week. (and here I thought nobody listened)

For those who don't know, I've been bouncing from station to station promoting the new play Footloose. (opening Sept 6 thru the 23rd at Strauss Theater) I'd like to thank my friends at 103 and 106 for letting me share the air waves with them for a while. I had a blast!

Now on to business.

The conclusion of our "nomicon" will be next week. By then I'm hoping to have even funnier stuff for ya'll then. But until that time enjoy the weekend folks!

BONUS FFF: Donald Duck's middle name was "Fauntleroy"... who knew?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X7Hg7Wey5Q

Hello all!

Well, if you’re a fan of Harry Potter you’re really going to enjoy this weeks post! And if you’re not a Harry Potter fan you’re STILL going to enjoy this weeks post!

Some of you have heard the story already but for those who haven’t I’ll fill you in. During the opening night of the book release, my partner in crime CJ and I went to Books-A-Million to see what all the hub-bub was about.

These video post, I’ll be bringing to you this week all came from that night. Each one shouldn’t last more than over 2 minutes each and are all hilarious!

I know some of you have been requesting them for weeks so I finally got around to doing it. And starting tomorrow…. Harry-Potter-Nomicon begins!!!

Late FFF

I spent 45 minutes this morning trying to get this stupid post put up on blogger.

I'm tired of writing.

I just got in from another long day, I'm going to bed, it's been a busy week.

But not busy enough for a quick FFF!!!

Do you know what the channel ESPN stands for?!

Every Sports Possible Network

Wild huh? I thought it'd be a lot cooler than that. Guess that's why they just give you the abbreviation only these days.

OK, goodnight and have a grand weekend!

Can't wait I see?

I just posted this to my YouTube account and before I could even post the link I found out it's already been viewed 5 times?! Holy Crow! What are you people doing?! Sitting around waiting anxiously for the next video to come out?

My, my, what avid fans.

This is a bit of footage I thought had been deleted from my camera by accident. I'm happy to say that I found a little snippit of it for your enjoyment.

Tony my friend, I'm sorry it got cut out. It was really a sweet clip and I'm very sad we didn't get it all. Oh well. Enjoy!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hblohBmzwJw

Video's anyone?

So I've gotten only a couple dozen e-mails the past few weeks asking about new video posts. Well guess what folks? They're finally here. Oh wait! Hold on! You're getting 3 full weeks of them too!! 3 a week for the next 2 weeks! WA-HOO!!

This first one comes from Beauty and the Beast. It was filmed for the "Behind the Scene's" DVD but was never released, enjoy!

Well, I'm back.

It's so good to be back home folks!

I had a wonderful time and thank everyone up in Idaho for it, but now it's time to get back to business!

My new position starts today as well as my return to the "Footloose" cast. Big day, big day indeed. I do hope everyone made it thru the week here without me. I will try to get around to those videos this week. I can't promise anything right now but I will be giving it an effort!

As for the strips, those will return as well, I've written several more during my vacation and can't wait to have them posted up here! I'm glad a lot of you loved the last series, I have to admit the idea had me chuckling for weeks.

Ok, I'm off to work. See you all tomorrow.

It's really good to be back!

Suprise?

Hi folks,

I'm on vacation in Idaho this week so there will be no posts. Sorry for not telling you all earlier but I wanted it to be a suprise and indeed it has been for quite a few!

I also got a promotion at work too that I'm proud to announce starts the moment I get back from here.

So have a great week folks and we'll see you next week with more fun on the way!

Chow!

Frenzy FFF

I'm a little beat but let's see what I can whip up for you here real quick.

Did you know Telly Savalas and Louis Armstrong both died on their birthdays? How wild is that?! Oh wait... do you even know who Louis Armstrong or Telly Savalas is? Hmmm... forget it.

First off I'd like to apologize for everyone who hasn't received any e-mails from me this week. It's really been a tough week for me. I have to be honest. Life is... busy. But in a good way! I'm working on delivering some very exciting news in the near future but for right now it'll have to wait till the "Monday Morning Me" post.

Let's talk about other things shall we? Life is great, what can I say, it doesn't get any better than this. Things at work are awesome as always. I set up my 360 yesterday but can't figure out how to hook it up to my sound system yet. (something I may work on tomorrow) I put in my NCAA College Football game I just bought for it, watched the tutorial and put it right back in it's box to gather dust.

It's WAY to out of my league. I have NO idea how to play this game because it is so different from anything else I've ever played. I guess my only choice will be to trade it in for a 3rd of it's cost in exchange for some money off Halo 3. Which looks to be the only game I'll be playing it for.
(and all the sudden my 360 is not so special after all)

That was sad I can't deny. But I did hook up the old GameCube and play Mario Kart Double-Dash for the first time. It's a really fun game I just bought and I really like it.

OK. This is turning into an MMM already! I'd better stop while I'm ahead. Hey folks, have an awesome weekend.

360

Guess what I have? An X-Box 360 Elite!! Yes, yes, some of you recieved my text message over the weekend about it but I'm still excited about it today. I'm hoping to hook it up and start playing it sometime this week.

Let me see... besides that I don't think much else went on. I had a fabulous time visiting my grandparents in Mobile AL and now I'm ready to start the new week.

How was ya'lls?

The Hitch

Everyone know of Alfred Hitchcock right? Well, here's an interesting fact about the man. Did you know he didn't have a belly button?

Nope. True story! They sewed it up after surgery. Can you believe that? The poor man never experienced the joys of belly button lint!?

Not that I would know of any joys belly button lint would get you in the first place.

It's been a grand week. I hope you all have felt the same. I am trying to get those videos up but I haven't had the time. Thru a million request, I'm trying to read the final Harry Potter book myself so that "everybody" can talk to me about it.

I plan on finishing it sometime next week so after that I should have the time to complete the videos.

Ok folks that's all for now. Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Monday Morning Me

Today the MMM is all about Me. (as always)

As some of you already know, CJ, Caleb and I went on an excursion thru Books-a-Million in search of Harry Potter nerds last Friday night. (and boy did we hit the jackpot) Now the video footage we took of it WAS extremely hilarious but I'm not sure if I'll have time to beak it down into video posts for this week or not. Believe me I'll do everything I can to but as things look right now, I just don't have the time.

Now another video I've been dying to post is a deleted "behind the scenes" clip of Beauty and the Beast. I think it's hilarious but need to find out which tape it's on first. (I have 3 full ones with no titles on them. I'll try to search for that too.

Ok, hope everyones weekend was as eventful as mine. Some of the things that happened to me this weekend I don't think any of you would believe but overall I have to say, it was an adventure!

The FFF word

Fun Fact Friday is all about “word” knowledge this week folks!

Did you know “underground” is the only word in the English language that begins and ends with the letters “und”?

And according to the Oxford dictionary the longest word is “pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis”

The longest place name still in use a hill in New Zealand called “taumatawbakatangihangakoauaotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokiawhenuakita”

And the only word in the English language that uses just one vowel 6 times is the word “Indivisibility”

Also the words “Facetious” and abstemious” are the only 2 in the English language that use all the vowels in order.

Oh and wanna know what the 2nd longest word is? “antidisestablishmenterianism”
Ha! Not even close to being first right?

Sorry about going so long without a post folks. I plan on making it up to everyone with a Saturday post of the comic strip. I’ll try not to let it happen again!

C-ya!

Coming Soon...

The Special Edition DVD of our Beauty and the Beast play is one step closer to it’s completion! CJ and I just laid the commentary tracks for everything last night. I have to warn you, it’s a little crazy.

But I do have some information on DVD that isn’t very good. Cuts. They can’t put our “behind the scenes” footage on it or our “Christopher Award Skit” either. They even lost the “secret ending” footage we shot on our last day. So it won’t be as awesome of first conceived.

But I am thinking about posting some of the “behind the scenes” footage for everyone on the blog one week so you’ll get to see a portion of the humor we had in store.

Nothing else new to report but Footloose I guess. No word on what part I’ll play in it yet but rumor is I’m not getting a part at all. Just chorus. Ahh… and my 15 minutes are up like that!

Freezing FFF

So get this. In every place around the world there is an dialing code. Did you know that even Antarctica has one?! Yeah. It's 672

So if you ever want to call your friend in Antarctica there you go! Who lives there anyway? Sure I've heard of expeditions out there but has anyone set up a house and started living there?

Maybe some poor sap hear lives down in South America near the equator said "Honey, let's move some place where it's cooler!"

Do you think the penguins from Happy Feet still live there? I bet they do. Yep, singing penguins... who'd have known! It's way too cold for us to ever find out! Though I doubt they sing young teeny-bopper beats like they did in the movies.

Nah. I bet if penguins really could sing and dance it's be to disco music if anything else. Oh yeah... disco pen-guin-go fever is sweeping the continent!

But you'll have to dial 672 if you want to talk to them yourself.

Have a great weekend folks!

Let me explain

Here's a picture some of you saw of me in the paper yesterday. I was at the auditions for Footloose and the NewsStar was there taking pictures. I had no idea they were actually going to put this one in there though.

I had a few people ask me what was so funny off to the side but I think it was Rick and I just laughing with Tony who was standing off to the side. Man look at Kim... she's really bearing down on that paper ain't she?

Anyway, the audition went well. I was the best male actor there.... I was the only male actor there. (Rick just came to hang out) I'll know which role I got tomorrow, but yes. I'm in the play.

Hope everyone's weekend went as well as mine!

FFF once again!

Time for Fun Fact Friday once again! This time it has a little "stooge" with it! Everyone knows who the 3 Stooges are. (I hope) but did you know that out of the six of them (Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, Joe, and Curly Joe) That 3 of them were actual brothers!?!

Moe, Curly and Shemp. I don't know about you, but I never knew that!

This week has been awesome. Really. Work is at it's best right now my time is really doing well. I've played Mario Kart so much this week that I'm actually starting to have dreams of racing down Rainbow Road. People have been asking about when new pictures would be popping up and I must say it has been a while. I'll see what I can do.

Oh, but here's a cool thing. Look up "Matt Wilkins" on Google and guess who's site pops up first? Yep. That's right! Mine!! (yes, I "google" me)

Thanks for your patience on me answering your e-mails. It's just been a crazy week and I haven't had the time to respond to them all like I usually do. But I promise it'll get better!

Everyone have a great weekend, I love you all!!

Another week

Ok. I'm done with "As You Like It" so finally my week nights should be getting back to normal very soon.

I wasn't able to get a recording of my performance like I wanted. So no video posts of that play. Sorry. I tried.

Doesn't matter much anyway because I was hardly in it in the first place to make a difference.

Oh well. I have a new comic strip this week which should run for the next month or so. I think it's really funny and if you don't enjoy it as well.... then don't bother checking my blog again till September.

Thanks for all the e-mails these past few weeks. I promise I'll get around to answering each one ASAP now that my nights aren't tied up.

Now, with that all being said ONWARD WITH THE WEEK!
