Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I've been trying to follow all this with Leonard Nimoy over the past week since he went into the hospital...

The whole subject breaks my heart for a lot of personal and non-personal reasons. He stopped smoking thirty years ago; back when people were really first starting to realize how bad for their health smoking WAS. He tried. And even so, smoking still came up and killed him so long later... People, please; those of you out there who are smoking, take this as a big, fat warning, ne?

Also, who can deny the love that so many of us nerds, dorks, and geeks have for him. He was mother father Spock, for God's sakes--and so much more, as he made clear in his book "I am not Spock". He was a huge advocate for Gay Rights (George 'Mister Sulu' Takei and he were good friends), was actually a singer (shocked the shiz out of me)... Just so much stuff. To top all this off, one of his best friends, William Shatner, won't be able to be present for his funeral (don't hold it against him. He's busy doing a charity show the weekend of, and has Tweeted how much the timing of everything hurts him. I mean, he can't bail on a charity show...)

I don't even really know what to say. I just felt the need to say something because...I didn't really say much when Robin Williams took his bright light from us so early...so, I HAD to say something for Leonard... Zachary Quinto... you have some freaking huge shoes to try and fill; because, at the age of 83...he lived long...he prospered... and he was so much more. Rest in Peace forever, Mister Nimoy. Heros are never forgotten, but legends never really die. <3
