The Enigma Exp

Wow.. what an awesome night.

Just got back from club enigma at the J.W.marriot 10 mins ago... and so buzzed.

Which is why this post might be a little bit fuzzy... so much fun. Went in with Pial and had a blast dancing to some great hip-hop tunes. Met some cool brits from essex and some Indian doctors from Rae Barelli? I think.

Anyway.. good to be pretending to be somebody else for a while and good to be shakin to some of the best r&b/hip-hop tunes this side of Flipside. Hey, that rhymes... anyway... off to bed after I check my bloglines feeds.

Down with a Sickness

So tired.

Its been a really busy day.

Gearing up for a big presentation on Friday. Also had a lot of misc tasks to take care of around work.

Oh and to top it off, feeling doozy does not help. Sucks cause I had to miss my work out this morning because my whole body was aching and I don't think it had everything to do with my workout yesterday.

Happy Birthday Asimov

Isaac Asimov was born at Petrovichi, Russia on this day in 1920. One of the finest writers of all time. And thats not even taking into account his sci-fi pedigree.

And on that note, here is today's quote for the day.

Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance.

- Issac Asimov

New Year Quote

Quote of the day:


I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.
