For those of you who came here because you thought this was a Star Trek blog sorry it is no such thing.I do like and have watched all of the movies and tv series.I picked the name from the series. Data was my favorite character from T.N.G., Mr Spock is my favorite of all time. The original was the best-the interplay between the crew was top notch. Anyway back to the point. I chose this name because it was the first thing to come to mind. I originally set up this blog just to be able to comment on other peoples blogs. After a while I thought that it was an ok choice- though I probably would have picked Spock if I had really thought about it. ( too late now!) Data, for those who are not fans, was an android who did not have emotions and who wanted to be human. (it reminds me of pinnochio(sp?)).He also had a 'brother' whose name was Lore who had emotions and was pretty much his doppelganger(evil twin). It sort of fits since I tend to be logical,analytical and unemotional at times.( and I do have an evil twin that sufaces a lot more than I would like). For a long time I prided myself on being able to make coldminded decisions. I of course now realize that to be emotional is to be human after all.
But at times it seemed as a youth that emotions just made life more difficult.
Spock who is my favorite chacter of all the Star Trek universe was half human and half Vulcan.(a race of beings who suppressed all emotions and chose the path of logic.) It was interesting to watch him as he at times struggled with his human side and fought to keep his emotions under control.These characters remind me of me.( to be continued....)
