    Easter Break

    Well I went to Karajini National Park for the break, was nice, no joke there was dingos in the campsite everynight, can't say I felt completly secure in my tent, but as long as they are pure breds they shouldn't attack large humans. Now a have a stupid FCP (Foundations of Clinical Practice) lit review i have to do. Should be doing it now. Well have a great day or night.
    Cheers fellas, (fellas includes chics)

    FAHB Essay

      

    Heres my essay intro for those who might be interested. Glad I finished this one, wonder what mark I got. By the way the question was respond to the statement "Bone maketh the person" using at least one example of a physical or enviromental effect on bone.

    "Bone maketh the person "                                   13/3/07                                                                                 

    People have been pondering on what makes a person or a man for hundreds of years, for example Samuel Johnson1 p.1 stated "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good." Back in the 1700's Ludwig Feuerbach2 p.1 reckoned that "Man is what he eats". What composes a man I believe however is a combination of what Mahatma Gandhi3 p.1 "A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.", Anton Chekhov4 p.1 "Man is what he believes." and Euripides5 p.1 "Every man is like the company he is won't to keep.". I believe a man is what he thinks, which is influenced by what he believes, which have formed through the experiences that he has gained including experiences with the company he has kept (3,4,5). I believe as a person myself that a person is multifaceted, but the actions of society can directly influence who a person is and will be (6,7,8). The statement "Bone maketh the person" is true in the respect that your appearance is influenced by bone and affects some of society's response to you, which may often influence you as a person but not always (6,7,8). This means that bone is only indirectly related to who a person is. I believe a person is such a complex creature that the only single thing that people can claim a person is, is a wonderful creation of God.

    Wonder if I'll get nailed for the God bit I attached on?

    Lifes worries and problems

    Ever had that feeling that life is finally bearing down on you waiting to dump you as it is a dumper of a wave? That you have been sheltered from the true horrors and problems of the world till now, that you are going to discover true and deep pain? Even though I am still 17 I am starting to become exposed to the real world, a world of paperwork, crime , disease, famine, poverty with limited friendliness, kindness or anything of the sort. Maybe I live in an idealistic world wondering why road rage even exists or why two teenage girls would murder their closest friend however I will be part of the limited breath of freshness, a pure flow of water that the world can taste and see that the awful truth of despair and hopelessness.
     
    You guys are welcome to join me on this quest

    Cloning

    The Australian government is going to vote on human cloning in October this year. If you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident and consider cloning even slightly unethical please go the the following site and petition the pollies and send them an email. http://www.makeastand.org.au
     
    Any person with a conscience should not allow the cloning and killing of human embryos.
     
    Your choice, your decision, however big consequences

    And if you supportt cloning, why do you?

    I can't wait till after the TEE

    Free time awaits me, after this period of hard work. “The ordeal of insanity, and the struggle of the human spirit to rise out of it, has a universal core, one that has been written about since the earliest times.” This is the quote I am using for my english essay. May I just say life is good
    Have a great day, God bless ya's all

    There goes my hair

    Well on Friday night I lost half my leg and arm hairs and my beard and chops with a little eyebrow and hair on my head too. It all started when we was trying to make metho rockets. They were rather unsuccessful for hours and hours with rather minimal bangs. Then when all other people had given up I persevered and heated one bottle under a lamp and then went outside and tried to light it. I was trying to light the flippin thing for ages and then as I was about to give up 'BANG' in an instant, I never even saw the flame which burnt all the hair mentioned previously off. I was rather shocked for a second and then noticed my hand was on fire which I quickly put out. Over all the worse buirn I had were on my thumb which caned. Its all better now though. We lost our hockey game too 4-2, I will play better next game as I could have stopped 2 or 3 of those goals.
     
    Oh well such is great life, God bless ya all

    Hockey

    Oh yea, we beat Vic Park 3-2, should have been 4-2 but their ump was a cheat and called the last goal a 16. It had to be either a long corner or a goal. Oh well we won. One of their guys tripped up our left inner lockie and the booted our right inner Dale and didn't even get a green card, booting someone is a yellow card offence at least. Also their wing whacked my knee with his stick when I was on him, flippin cheats. But our reasonably tight defence won us the game. Now onto OGMHC and Blades, the grandfinal and then A grade mens!

    God bless ya all

    Busy

    I so wish I could stop time eh. I have soo many things to do in soo little time. Fortunately I got God looking after me. The other day I applied to go to Kalgoorlie for a WASM camp. Thankfully I didn't get in and yesterday I found out that during that same week the school will pay for me to do courses on my subjects. God knew what was best for me, his ways are always right and are higher than that of any mans.

This effect was also present in many of my colleagues. Now we have a break, a break from the stress and the weekend before homework and assignments start again. I'm gonna go into school today to obtain certain exam results, and sort out my work experience at the hospital. Can't wait till the holidays even though I don't have my log book cause I failed again. Three fails. Fourth time fortunate cause luck don't exist.

    Hockey

    Had a fierce hockey game this arvo. Was a rough game when to start off the action one of the opposition undercut it taking out our guy Aaron with a cut eyelid and concussion, blood was pooring every where, a goal by us sent a spectator mad so the ump who happened to be dad asked the captain of Guildford to tell him to be quiet. Then to spice up the game after half time they decide to argue with the ump over other decisions. Not a good move, a few players got a warning and then when the goalie tried cleaning up one of our guys with his elbow he got sent off with a yellow card. After a short corner in which the goallie was off thier wing blew it and got sent off also with a yellow. After that a series of undercuts kept thing exciting with guys on our team getting bruises, corks etc all over their body, one guy on our team, Lockie ran into another guy accidentally and broke his collar bone. Then the opposition scored 2 straight as we slacked off then we struck back with a goal to win exhaustedly, the game was super exciting and finished 30min after it should have. And the cream on the top was that I managed to deflect a assination attempt on my crown jewels.

    See the truth

    See the truth

     

    Your just wrong, you think your fine

    Just like a guy, who steps on a mine

    In a daze, through out the dream

    You reminisce, on how easy life can be

    But wake up now, and smell and see

    The awful sight of reality,

    And in the end, you’ll hit the edge

    And go down plummeting into a crevice
