#boycottbali #boycottindonesia

I am not a particularly big fan of Bill Shorten (or any pollies) but his words this morning on the ABC rang very true for me.

There is no justice.

The double standards of Indonesia on the topic of execution sickens me.
This is a super sad situation and I can’t see how it can be resolved positively.

R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy

#RIPLeonardNimoy #RIPSpock #RIPWilliamBell

He brought a cold and unfeeling character to life and despite Spock’s inability to feel… we certainly loved him.

Leonard (and Spock + William Bell) developed a cult following over the past 83 years. I love Leonard in Star Trek (who wouldn’t love Spock) but I also adore him in the TV series Fringe (2008). If you haven’t watched it… do yourself a favour and get a bit more Leonard into your life (he’s not in every episode but he rocks).

He was also a poet and it’s sad to see that poetry is one of the arts that is falling out of favour. I love this poem he shared on February 22 via twitter (he was saying goodbye on twitter for a while now)…

You and I
have learned
The song of love,

and we sing it well

The song is ageless
Passed on

Heart to heart
By those
Who have seen
What we see
And known
What we know
And lovers who have
Sung before
Our love is ours
To have
And
To share

The miracle is this
The more we share…
The more
We have

-Leonard Nimoy

Wise words from a cultural icon “The miracle is, The more we share… The more We have”. Just wonderful.

Rest in peace my Vulcan friend 🙁

i think the purpose of life is living…

Nalini Joshi is a very cool and very sweet Maths Professor at Sydney University. I saw her speak on Q&A on the ABC late last year. It was one of the more interesting episodes of Q&A (at least to me) and they also had the very famous Professor Brian Cox on the panel.

I wish she had been my maths teacher in first year… I might have been inspired to study harder 😛 Here is a short snippet of the discussion about time travel (you can watch the entire episode here>>>)

I particularly loved Professor Joshi’s statement “I think the purpose of life is living. Every step is worth it.”

We can get lost in finding meaning and purpose in everything and perhaps we should just keep making steps…

a hug

Happy Valentine’s Day ♥

I hope all of the lovers (single and hitched) are having a lovely, love filled day ♥

sending all my love

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching you might want to send someone a nice little message like this one to let them know that you love them.

After all… love matters ♥

kiss kiss

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and there is so much pressure to buy expensive gifts and out-do the un-out-doable.
Why not just send a simple message of love.

I’m sending out a ‘kiss kiss’ to all of my loved ones today, on Valentine’s Day and every day ♥
Here is some vintage naughties trash for your ear-worm pleasure :p Holly Valance and the 2002 hit ‘Kiss Kiss’.
