“It’s really hard to hate someone for being different when you’re too busy laughing together.”
― George Takei

Live Long and Prosper George Takei!

Oh my!
How time flies
When you are having fun
Keep the phasers on stun
For today we celebrate
No matter if gay or straight
Our king and superhero
Will add a few years to the zero

Hip hip hooray!
Happy 79th birthday
Captain Sulu aka George Takei!

“The shortest distance between two points is a straight line” Archimedes

Straight Lines With a Twist (Daily Photo)

As the road narrows
Taller grow the midday shadows
Following the straight lines
Until an unexpected surprise

In the midst of the hike
A parked vintage bike
A smile on the face will strike

The sun on my back
The wind in my sails
The gentle tap
Against the rails

This is…

Quote a Week Tuesday (2016-04-19)

Quote 1

“My age is very inappropriate for my behaviour”

Quote a Week Tuesday

For this week’s quote of the week, I have chosen something we can all relate to: Growing older(?).
The quote is funny, because it is true 🙂

From one of the great actresses of all time; Bette Davis:

“Old age is ain’t no place for sissies”

FEATURED

Bonus quote of the week:

“The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young” Oscar Wilde

Happy 48th Birthday David Hewlett AKA Dr. Rodney McKay

“I’m Dr. Rodney McKay, alright? Difficult takes a few seconds; impossible, a few minutes.”

Happy 48th Birthday David Hewlett AKA Dr. Rodney McKay

Horror made worth the Hammer
But really a computer programmer
McKay, the Science Guy
In Pegasus a Puddle Jumper will fly
And always getting the final word
Apparently a real life nerd
When playing at the gaming console
Reaching for the ultimate goal

But before I get all side tracked
Let’s get this thing cracked
We’re almost out of time
Adding some Time Lords just to rhyme

Need for paraphrasing “the other” franchise
Oh’ other fans, little me do not chastise!
So without further ado:
Live long and prosper Mr Hewlett!

(Hey, that last part did not rhyme!
So? I am only a writer on a dime!)
