Why is Titanic music playing on a cruise ship?


Hey guys!

I hope all is well with everyone! I am sitting in a Starbucks in San Juan drinking hot water, lemon, and honey because I have a cold and my two shows are tomorrow! I have been Zicam-ing and Airbourning for five days..I'm in a bit of a fight with them.

But onto more important things...they keep playing "My Heart Will Go On" throughout the boat. Yes, its a beautiful song. Yes, its sung by the wonderful "taking chances" Celine Dion...but kids, the older passengers are getting a bit scared. One woman in the buffet said aloud, "I swear, they want us to jump into the life rafts already, I hear that song one more time I may just do it." I laughed to myself, then continued to eat my third bowl of cocoa rice krispies that morning.

In terms of food/diet/exercise, I basically eat like 9 meals a day that consist of the aforementioned chocolate rice krispies, as well as pizza, carrots, peas, cereal, pizza, cereal, little ham sandwiches, pizza, and more cereal while trying to go to the gym ( believe it or not!) 5 times a week. Thanks Jenny Craig!

Miss you all, and hope you are liking the videos and love that many are keeping in touch through email and the wonderful facebook.com messaging!

Talk to you soon!

All my love, Will

A true SHOWBIZ week!!!


What a week!

Okay, before I go into the drama that occurred this week, we had a new stop this week...KEY WEST! It was absolutely gorgeous! Besides the beautiful water and beaches, the stores...well...they were raunchy with a capital R. But that's okay, everyone in town was friendly and happy, so we made a 'lil episode about it to be posted soon.

Now to the drama-- such is life in show business, no? Drama makes things exciting once in awhile!

Okay, so, we perform our show every Tuesday, usually one at 7:45PM and one at 9:15PM. Ant and I usually take naps from like 5:30-6:15, then start our warms up, etc. WELLL... the alarm didn't go off! The stage manager called our cabin at 7:42PM asking where we were!!!!!!

Our cabin is three flights away from backstage, so literally in my boxer briefs, I ran into the dressing room where I (thank God) already pre-set my outfit, and was changing into my outfit, putting on my stage make-up, ON THE STAGE right before the curtain opened. I threw the make-up stage left, the curtain opened, and miraculously, although it was 7:50 at this point, Anthony and I had a good show with no problems whatsoever.

It was a backstage experience I secretly wanted to always have...the rush before showtime. But I will NEVER want it to happen again, because I have never freaked out so much. We didn't get into too much trouble, everyone was understanding that we are only human.

So there it is, the Drama of the week. I'm in Ft. Lauderdale right now doing some emailing, and about to upload the video from the week!

Peace & love, Will

Family on Board!!!

Hey guys!

This week has been SO much fun with Mom, Dad, and Annie on board. The port stops have been beautiful, weather perfect, and some pretty funny webisodes to come.

In a nut shell, the week has included my Mom going down a three story water slide almost losing her top, my Dad talking to a lobster in a restaurant in San Juan, me doing trapeze, Anthony snorkling, Annie being repremanded for attempting to tan without her top, and my Mom almost passing out from the massage she got from a woman who "proceeded to go on top of her back, kneeding every muscle with her elbow."

Now I'm off to a final dinner, with my family in their togas for it's Roman Night on the ship.

BTW, the performances this week were our best yet! The audiences were so gracious and seemed to enjoy themselves!

New webisodes up tomorrow, all my love always,

Will

Titanic-like waves, the fam is a comin'!!!

Okay, so I'm in Ft. Lauderdale right now with Ant outside the Mac Store trying to download our new vids. But some updates from the week...

first off, two nights ago was probably one of the bumpiest/turbulent/scary moments of my life as the ship was going through some rough wavage (is that a word). In any event, the boat was a shakin' and my stomach was a not a feelin' good. But thank God, no throwing up took place.

New Years was nothing short of amazing. Just a fun time all around with my new friends on board with dancing, some bubbly, and a crazy Alice in Wonderland adventure (see the New Years episode to come)

Grand Turk seems to be my favorite place of all the places we've been. The water is turquoise, the sand is white, and anyplace that has a pool with a bar in it is nothing short of amazing with a capital a.

And finally, and most excitingly, my parents and sister, Annie, are on the boat this week!!!! Can't wait to show them around, for them to see our show, meet our new friends, and experience the ship life for a week. I think we're going to go snorkeling with the dolphins on Wednesday! Updates to come!

I miss you all, and computer-time onboard is getting tough only because its so expensive, thus updating the blog has been tough.

Nonetheless, talk to you soon, and hope everyone is getting off to a great start in 2008!!!

Peace & love, Will
