Never Leave the Internet

I had a family matter that I had to attend to today, which meant that I wasn’t around to watch the latest example proving that John Boehner is not good at his job. I also didn’t get to enjoy the hilarity at the CPAC conference. And then I found out that Leonard Nimoy had died.

Overall, I guess it doesn’t matter that I wasn’t online to receive these pieces of news, but I would have had something to say about them if I had been.

I don’t talk about it much, but I am total Trekkie. And I’m the pure form, which means that nothing but the original series will do it for me. I love each and every character from the original Star Trek and I think all of the actors were unusually awesome people. Leonard Nimoy and his character Mr. Spock was my favorite. It would not be unfair to say that Spock helped make me the person I am. As much as I love him, I can’t say that about Captain Kirk.

I already miss Nimoy. This is a real loss for me.
