So, I’ve cooled of a bit now. It won’t last…

I’ve been following the story of doctor Mohamed Haneef. From the start it seemed a bit fishy, they said that they had found his SIM card in the wreck of the car that tried to blow up the airport at Glasgow and that the car and the SIM card belonged to his cousin. Ok, so what? Sure I can understand that some people just tried to blow you up I can understand that you’d want to question him, but not arrest him! His cousin had his SIM card, he’s moving to Australia maybe he gave it to him because it would be useless to him in Australia. But wait a second, I seem to remember that the car was on fire… If the phone was used as a trigger, which is what they were saying then surely it would’ve been fairly close to the fire? Now I’m not that intelligent but last time I checked fire+SIM card = burnt SIM card, and burnt SIM card= Hard to read. Is it just me or does it seem a little weird that something that was used as a trigger to an explosive device can have data taken of it that easily? surely it would just be a little bit of burnt plastic? Of coarse later we find out that it wasn’t found in the car at all, but 400m away! Again bring him in for questioning but you can’t say that it was used to start the explosion. They were saying that it was the thing that made the spark, not possible from 400m away…

So they arrest him. Under the newish terror laws someone suspected of terrorist activity can be held for seven days. Now these laws were basically copied from the British one. Which failed to get made into a law. Even though at the time Tony Blair had a massive majority in parliament and was extremely popular they still rejected it! The Australian government in all their glory came along and made it law. Easy. The media made a relatively small deal over it and that was it. It was passed and Australia continued along the road to become America…

So now Doctor Haneef is in jail being questioned. After seven days they haven’t found anything on him so they go to court and get the day they have to charge him with something extended. What’s the point of having a maximum of seven days to hold someone if the police can just go to court and get it extended!?! So the next day they still can’t find something go back to court, “Can we have another day?” “Sure!”. The next day the finally charge him with providing materials to a terrorist. Which has to be the worst crime I’ve ever heard. If I give my jacket to a person I know who then later on commits an act of terrorism then I can be sent to jail. That’s how I understand it. He gave his cousin a SIM card. He MUST be a terrorist. No one ever gives their cousins anything! He must of been aware of their intentions to try and kill innocent people and wanted to provide them with help! So they charge him. He applies for bail. The judge grants it. The government thinks “Hang on a minute, that’s not the way it’s supposed to work.” So they get the immigration minister to cancel his working visa. The immigration minister Mr Andrews said that it was in national interest. It’s in national interest that the court system be completely overridden by the government therefor making it completely toothless? See the idea is that if doctor Haneef posts bail he gets arrested strait away again. He’s not allowed to leave the country because he has an appearance in court to make so if he tries to do what he is supposed to do and leave the country he’ll be arrested for breaching bail! and if he tries to stay in the country he gets sent to a detention center for staying in Australia without a visa which is even worse than being jail!

So he doesn’t post bail, choosing jail over detention. A few days later he goes to court and the judge looks at the case and wait a second! there’s no grounds for prosecution whatsoever! imagine that! So he’s free to go right? The judge has said that he’s free to go. Surely now it’s clear that it isn’t in “national interest” to cancel his visa anymore? Not only are there no grounds to cancel it anymore theres an incentive! He’s a doctor in Queensland, and let me tell you that’s a very rare breed. “What’s that you say? There’s a national shortage of doctors? well that’s the first I’ve heard about it.”So now he’s released and they say that they’re going to take his passport and keep him under house arrest until they figure out what they’re going to do with a perfectly innocent person.

The next day news stations report that he’s flying back to India! What happened to taking his passport and keeping him under house arrest? Did you finally realise that you should probably leave him alone? Well not really… Because his visa is still canceled. He can’t come back to were he was working and living! But lets face facts, why on earth would he want to?

So the election is coming up pretty quickly now, surely the oppostion is using this for all it’s wort? What that’s? They agreed with government the entire way? You mean that basically on this extremely controversial issue both the government and the opposition has the same policy!? What the hell happened?!?!?!?

What’s the point of having elections anymore? First of all they’re probably the most undemocratic elections I’ve ever seen, excluding of coarse the American elections. How is it democracy if you have to vote? If you don’t then you get fined. You get fined for not voicing your opinion!!! But it’s ok, you can still donkey vote, you know make your ballot invalid and then no one gets your vote. But wait a second, you mean when someone donkey votes their votes just gets split between all the political party’s? Well whats the point then? The majority of votes go to the two main parties Liberal and Labour and the majority of donkey votes go to them as well, and they have identical policies when it comes to the most important issues!

So this week was significantly uneventful…

I’m feeling quite happy because tomorrow is the day big brother finishes!!!!

Of coarse it’s not as good as I would like it to be because channel ten can’t stand not having a reality T.V. show that they can advertise for who you can vote for every available second so Australian Idol is starting.

Now I’ve seen loads and loads of idols, about 7 I think… Due to living in England when they had Pop Idol (The English equivalent of Australian Idol) and they also show American Idol here as well… I don’t actually watch them but it makes the news here. Which is absolutely disgraceful but well leave that for another day…

But of all the idols ,there must be hundreds now from all across the world, there’s only one successful on ; Kelly Clarckson. Well done and all but really and truly don’t the people who make these realise that the latest isn’t going to be a massive star? I thought they were the industry specialists… Lets face it the next one isn’t going to be a hit, they’re going to sell loads of their first single and album and then disappear out of existence… This would be terrible if the people who one were talented but the fact is there’s 21 million people in Australia and due to that relatively low number it’s very unlikely that you’ll be able to find people who are willing to put themselves though the humiliation of a reality show to become famous and are actually talented, the probability is staggeringly low…

On that slightly depressing and unpatriotic note I’ll go now…

Also I’m going to talk about the terrorist guy and all the crap that went on with him next post but I’m to angry at Australian Idol and Big Brother to do it now…

So I finished Harry Potter. I finished it at one o’clock this morning. The main reason I stayed up late was that I didn’t want what happens at the end shouted at me as I walked into school that morning. That has happened to me four times in a row now (including today) so I’m glad I did. I’m not going to give away what happens if you haven’t read it so don’t worry…

So now I’m very tired (I usually get about 9 on a weekday) and today I got 5. I’m not sure how many hours of sleep you’re supposed to get but I’m sure I’m getting the wrong amount seeing as I’m always tired….

So harry potter is out today!!!

I’m excited.

Not particularly but whatever…

My family has bought a copy but I haven’t read it yet.  I’m third in line. That’s how high up I am in my family.

Slightly depressing….

So I’ve been sitting at my keyboard trying to think of something to write about for about 5 minutes now. I like writting my blog but I run out of ideas very very quickly. So I thought I would take a second to marvel at the fact that even though I’ve been sitting at my keyboard for five minutes I haven’t really thought about what I’m going to write about.

That’s what I set out to do….

I got sidetracked, like most people with the mind of a four year old my mind entertains itself when I’m not doing something rather than thinking about what it’s supposed to be thinking about.

Which I think is rather impresive to be honest… that a collection of impulses entertains me. But my brain is a collection of impulses so impulses are entertaining impulses. I’m not very good or particually interested in biology but I think that’s pretty kool, or is it cool? I can never tell…

So looking around the area that my computer is in I just spotted a cuddly penguin.

I’m not sure why it’s there.

It looks like on of the ones from Happy feet but I haven’t actually seen that movie so I can’t really tell…

The strange thing is though is that I’ve been looking around the room every now and then for the past half hour and this is the first time that I’ve noticed that it’s there. Which is worrying really….

Just think if penguins attack (pretty likely I think you’ll agree) I’ll be absoulutely deffenceless. They’re basically ninjas. Except with beaks!!! run for the hills!!!

I just thought of the worst combination imaginable ninja/pirate/zombie/penguin. That’s possibly the worst doomsday I’ve ever heard of…

It also reminds me of a joke I like (even though it’s pretty simple and childish)

What’s black and white and red all over?

A newspapper? No.

A penguin….

with it’s head cut of!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Hilarious. =-)

Simple things simple minds.

Itjaw (the simplest mind of all)

So yesterday I went to see Harry Potter, Meh.

Cower at my apathy…

It was a movie, it wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t great either… But for the people who go and see those movies and then complain about every little bit they changed or cut out then you’re not going to have a good time. I’m not normally that bothered by it but it got at me more than normal. But it was ok.

Now that last sentence has led me to what I’m going to go on about. It highlighted the word ok as a wrong spelling. Now the program I use to blog does have spell check and it picks up wrongly spelled words great, but it’s suggestions are terrible. For ok it gave me wok, oak, k, o and ck. I didn’t know the last three were words. Is my English really that bad? But if it isn’t spelled o-k how is it? capitals? OK? okay? OhK? or just K? or small k? I don’t know!!!

It annoys me,  which I think is worrying.  Should the spelling of a word really bother me that much? Probably not… But the thing is we use the word so much but no one knows how to spell it.  DNA is another word that bugs me, because it’s just an abbreviation, but no one knows what it means (well I do because I know and see all, or at least an friend in primary school did and was willing to share his knowledge with me) Deoxyribonucleic acid that’s what it stands for.  That’s very useful imformation that is…

You don’t think so now but one day you’ll realise that it is. Yes…

So it occurred to me that my list may appear to be Emo…

First of all I would like to ask why we use the word Emo to describe a depressed person? Why use a word that only needs one letter to become Elmo? Elmo is a very happy puppet last time I checked, admittedly I don’t check all that often…

Next I’m curious why it matters so much to be Emo, sure they’re not that fun to hang around… But I’m sorry but there are plenty of other social groups who are more annoying than Emos. People who talk about reality T.V. shows, the OC, Neighbors, Home and Away and so on…  Guys (or girls for that matter) who can only talk about sport… Girls who find it impossible to talk to guys as if they’re human beings (This also applies visa versa but it doesn’t effect me that way) I can’t think of any more groups at the moment but I’m sure they’re out there….

And I’m not Emo, I’m fairly cheerful, I just hate lots of people …. There is a differance…

So I was sitting at my computer chair trying to think of a title for this latest entry, except I have no idea what it’s going to be about at the moment so that makes it hard to give it a title. So I decided to call it untitled but then due to my terrible typing/spelling skills I spelled it un- tilted i.e. no slant. So now I’ve decided to write something about slants…

I’m feeling unreasonably happy at the moment, it’s been like this for about a week. There is no reason for me to be exceptionally happy this week, I’ve done nothing out of the ordinary so far.

I’m not the brightest of individuals, I have been known to kill people who sing on Mondays, or sing songs such as; walking on sunshine, anything by the backstreet boys, westlife or a similar boy band. Thats not to say I’m that I’m Oscar the grouch (you know you’re having a good time when you get to reference a sesame street character), I do occasionally yell at inanimate objects if they piss me of too much; items like the Television, Radio, Toaster, My phone, the people who make DVD’s and Dick Smiths. All of the listed have been yelled at in this week. I can’t be bothered to go into why but they had it coming…

I’m not sure how this relates to untitled but oh well….

I’ve started making extra pages, I’m about to make another, this is mainly due to my short attention span… I like writing the blog, but I quickly run out of things to say…

So this new section is MY LIST basically people or things have to do something bad to get on the list, and bad things happen to people on the list. Some I will put explanations next to as to why they’re on my list but some are self explanatory…

So check out my list… I have a feeling it will grow rapidly
