City of Tiny Lights - Patrick Neate

Currently am reading this book by Patrick Neate called : City of Tiny Lights.
Quotable quotes from the book include :
"I tell you, son. The 'war on terror' is a contradiction in terms. One: when someone is labeled a terrorist, they are immediately removed from the rules of humanity that regulate us all. Two: the nature of war as agreed by civilized society is that it is fought within just such a set of rules. Quod pro demonstratum, the phrase 'war on terror' is a contradiction in terms!"

"The meaning of the word 'terrorist' depends entirely upon context. Nelson Mandela? Mahatma Gandhi? These fellows were once called terrorists too. One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter, Tommy boy. Are you following?"

10 Items or Less

A great movie. With a stellar cast.. Paz Vega and Morgan freeman. Independent feel and powerful acting by the protagonists. Really liked it. Took me a while to get used to the laid back shoot and the totally personable acting by Ms. Vega and by Mr. Freeman.

Must see...

Sometime....

Sometime.. Life throws you a curveball
Do you get up and run with it or do you just curl up and let it rip
Sometime.. Life hands you a lit candle
Do you think it to be a light or seek the darkness therein.
Sometime.. Life just plain sucks
Do you suck it up and take it or just give in.
Sometime....

Sometime.. You feel low and down
Do you try and get high ;) or just hit the lows
Sometime.. You take a beating
Do you try and mend or do you just get a pill
Sometime.. You stub your toe
Do you fix or let it trip
Sometime...

Exam fever

Well exam fever is officially here. and me and my boss are playing fone tag over the past 2 days now. I finally managed to make contact after all the vm exchanges. So now have to make a lot of decisions and lot of work despite exams frying my brain ever so often.
