Justice Zain

-- Zain - v - University of Technology, Sydney (2007) 15 HC --
Plaintiff Counsel: Zain, Mr
Defence Counsel: None
[1]ZAIN at 324: With the eagerness of a new found instrument and the respect of a fellow scribe it is difficult to read the century odd pages per text where the material to be discussed is a brief overview of the content delved into. The pedantics of each case explored for their own merit in a sea of judicial servitude - and those are only the reported archives! For amidst the masses of day-by-day legal filth lies principle and sentiment and ratio decidendi. Elements unseen to the untrained eye, sometimes unseen to the trained eye, spool page after page of seemingly endless literature with purpose and promise of its own. How one single word, take "security" for instance, could have dedicated volumes of legal complexity is beyond fathomable magnitude. [2]And we are only getting started. Close your Commonwealth Law Review and turn to page 80 of any respectable finance text and the term has a meaning very different from that of application in legal text. [3]So why? Why I dare ask. Are they named the same... Why force confusion upon those that invest time and fund like a rhythmic equation or spiral of never ending expenditure, never to retain most of what is absorbed and for those pages - not much! For it seems poetic in nature, but poems are not what I am consuming, not from you, not from the institution that governs the very foundations of mine own rationale. [4]It is important that an understanding of some degree is instiled, so I ask again, why void those willing to achieve so much more?

[5]And the response.

[6]Will never yield an answer acceptable to the ears of those in knowing. But how are you to know if you are reading the text that another wrote. Your interpretation be it of substance or otherwise, is of a different nature to that at the time of writing. Context. Context my friend.

[7]Perhaps I should cease reading ahead, swallow the feeling of procrastination and consult an old friend with 10 heros, 5 on each side, battling for the right of the ownerer.

ORDER

Appeal dismissed, with costs.

Inspire me to study.

With the downfall of prominent internet gaming server: Bored Aussie, at the end of this month stems the creation of a void that needs filling in the life of Mr_Zain. Whilst productivity has never been a problem in the past, recent workload is illustrating a trend in depleting efficiency. A circumstance that shall be rectified, as soon as physically possible. The condition results from a lack of stimulation deriving from the required content. The solution is one of repetition and routine creation.


Our mission is to complete all aspects of the semester goal at the highest possible level irrespective of the monotonous nature of the tasks at hand nor the lack of entertainment post endurance. Bored Aussie, I bid thee farewell and out of respect will never address the role of administration on a competing server, pending your return.


Be this your intent - you have the support of Zain.


Be your intent otherwise, rest in peace old friend.

Pon & Zi

Every time I look at them I start crying.

They're just so... beautiful.

Here are some of my favorites.





This one I sent to a friend (girl) in an attempt to impress her, she quit talking to me for about a month.






Never got a chance to use this, neat pic tho.









"Sometimes it's hard to get to you."








Ain't he lovely.








Don't get wet sweety.








"I will protect you... from... bunnies..."





Hope you enjoyed that.

p.s Pon & Zi are copyrighted to their rightful artists, I'm merely displaying them.







EDIT: Fare thee well Bored Aussies, we'll always be with you, praying for your return.

Need oxygen

Been about a year since I last went to my karate training so I thought I might go back now that life is more or less back on track.

Turns out we were kicked out of our usual dojo floor due to some festival dance practice, fair enough, so we had to train in some gym with floor mats spread out. Sensei decided that since we have the soft floor, might as well do some grappling self defense.

Fun.

Basically the idea was to try and wrestle your opponent into submission without excessive violence - ie. punch to the head or the nuts. Basic techniques include head lock, arm bar, wrist lock and chocking etc.

Quick re-cap on anatomy:

On the right is some dude's head(pic from Wiki), and the biggest red line indicates the common carotid arteries supplying most of the blood flow to the head. Done properly you can take someone out in 15 seconds.

One thing I did find out was if you bend your wrist or elbow the wrong way around, it hurts.

So there you have four guys dressed in white kimono-ish uniform on the floor attempting to immobilize each other by using bodyweight. Pretty fun sight, should've brought a camera.

Statistics show 80% of street fights / bar brawls end up on the ground within 120 seconds, so here are some facts I'd like to share with you all:

- Do not attempt to throw your opponent off your back by turning to face the ground and rolling unless you're twice his size, it'd be your worst, mistake, ever.
- During the attempt to shove him onto the ground, make sure you protect your neck. It's a huge disappointment to find his arm under your chin chocking you to death when you finally get him on the ground. And you thought you were winning, hah!
- Headlocks are good, but if your opponent ceases to twitch or move after 15 seconds it may be wise to let go, he should be about a quarter way to the other side.
- When he taps and gives up, verify that by strangling him for a further 5 seconds to make sure he won't jump back at you as soon as you let go
- Tickling is allowed if proven effective, be warned
- Don't be afraid to hug, your body weight is your best friend

Concluding remarks from my partner of the evening: "...... oxygen is good."

Best, karate, session.

p.s we're not violent people, just curious.

To Blog or not to Blog...

Al'right. Let's start with a big round of hello.
Hello, hello, hi, how are you doing?, always a fan, hi there, 'been a while, hi, etc.

Ok, then I guess it's the classical whishlist:
-I wish you'll enjoy the blog;
-I wish you'll like me and my co-bloggers;
-I wish you'll come and see us often;
-Oh and why not, I wish for World Peace and cookies. Yeah, and some milk too. I like that...

Hmmm, then I guess is the expression of intent.
-I intend to entertain.
-I intend to teach.
-I intend to improve and better myself and the world we live in.
-I intend to open everyone to new fuzzy stuff.
-I intend to write blogs on a semi-regular basis.
-I also intend not to screw up my life.
-I intend to live forever. So far, so good. (Yeah, I know someone said that before. No, I don't know whom. He was smart and I'm not, ok?)

Then here comes some sort of summary. Well, overall, let's just say it'll be a fun experience and try to each take as much from it as we can. Yeaaaaaah!

[/sarcasm] Oops, forgot to close that. Oh well. I'm writing this blog partly for me, partly for Meng, and somehow, partly for those other bloggers I've never met but am quite sure they're A-OK if Meng invited them ^^ . So, yeah, comment if you want, but don't think for one second that it mean I'll change a single comma for it. On the other hand, you never know until you try. So go on. Comment. Have fun. Be wild! It's the Internet, baby! No rules! Woohoo! Exclamation mark abuse!

Dorth, signing out. ( Should I write xox here? And I know "signing out" is overused, but screw that too! Crap, now my signature is longer than a line. See what you made me do. People, sometimes... )
