[dezhen2001]

Hi Dez, long time no hear. Sorry to hear life has been nasty to you lately.

Just curious, and you don't have to answer, but what is your new faith?

[Mr Punch]

Hi DZ, welcome back!

I here ya with the nasty nonsense... a lot of that's gone down in my life recently - you're younger: don't dwell on it, don't do anything dumb you'll regret later (or if you, you may as well make it really dumb!! :D :eek: ) , and move on, train on and train for the moment and your future.

Look at it this way: in a few years you could be like me! About five weeks ago, I'd had a really devastating split from my girlfriend and in the rather brutal twists of fate (and I don't even believe in fate!) that followed I was jobless homeless and penniless. And this city can be hellalonely at times.

With the help of some good friends and of course, kungfu and budo, it's already just another chapter.

Anyway, now I've got the platitudes out the way, I gotta ask:

Is "dawood" like, a new name, like, er, from your new faith, or is it, er, like a title, er, like you know "Da Wood", like, er, you know, cos you got a really big like, you know, thing... uh-huh uh-huhuh, uh-huhuhuh uh-huhuhuhuhuh...? shut up ********...

:D

[Mr Punch]

Mate, you're not a Branch Davidian are you?!

Aum Shinryo...?!

If it's Krishnamurti, good luck... that must be the hardest faith: I could cope with giving up booze and drugs, but to have to cook without garlic, onion and mushroom is above and beyond devotion to any kind of higher being!




Sorry mate, won't rag you so much when you tell what it is...! ;) :p You did offer the info!

Subgenius?

hi

[dezhen2001]

lol guys! :D

joe: good to hear from you man :) i hope all is well on that side of the pond...

well CSN i'm DEFiNATELY not a genius... does that make me a SUBgenius? ;)

Actually to cut a long story short Dawood is arabic for David... so it should be pretty clear what my new faith is (Islam). But mat's reasoning is pretty good as well ;)

mat: sometimes the world just decides to take a big smelly sh|t and recently it was on me as well... but eventually things seem to sort themselves out. The hardest thing is to keep going. That's when you really find out who cares about u the most. As well as what ur made of :)
hey btw - r u back in the UK? if so i'm back at university in the w. midlands :p

WM: hi... hope u like kfo. take it easy :)

Hey Dez, glad you found a faith that suits you.

[dezhen2001]

Sorry, DZ, but I'm still a long way away.

Where are you in the WM? I come from Birmingham (did I tell you already??).

I hear you David. Same thing happened to me early last week. My wife was wanting a divorce and was going to take my child to California. I was not handling it very well. I was getting absolutely hammered every night after work. Sometimes at the bar, sometimes by myself at home, and sometimes by myself at the bar. To make things worse I would drive.

I woke up about 3 in the morning one day and realized that I had hit rock bottom. If I kept it up I would probably be dead in a few days. I walked into the church we had been to a few times and asked to speak to the pastor. I just looked him in the eye and said "Man, I'm in big trouble". I cannot begin to explain how much this has helped me.

Even though we are turning to different faiths I am glad you found something that can bring more meaning and fulfillment to your life. But I guess I am an evil crusader and you are a terrorist huh? We shall have to fight one day. :)

[dezhen2001]

maybe we could have a food fight... but such a waste of food :(

i hope things get better for ya, they always do but sometimes it's hard just to hold on and ride the storm. thankfully i had someone who was there for me and really helped me a lot. i think ur a lot stronger than you think :)

hey i'm not a terrorist, but i do scare some people lol
no need to be so secular, it's all good :)

Good to hear you´re back on your feet again,practice in arts which emphasized falling paid off,eh? ;)
Best regards+ganbatte.

BTW,roam at those fighterschat rooms.

:cool:

[Budokan]

You were gone from the forum? Never noticed.

Nah, just kidding. Welcome back! ;)

[dezhen2001]

i don't think many ppl read my posts anyway so no big deal - but just wanted to say hi :D

dawood

[fa_jing]

I hate to pry, but - do you plan to have multiple wives? Is your girlfriend cool with that? I'm just curious as to the mind of someone from a western/Euro upbringing who follows that kind of faith. Don't feel obligated to answer.

[triskellin]

no i'm not cool with that! lmao, only joking. :D

hi dez, so the first thing u do when u get yourself off ur ass is come back on kfo!?! more willpower man, willpower! kekeke. ah, i'll just go to sleep now... signing out, 3.50am!

[dezhen2001]

LMAO tri! :D:D:D But ur right i think we both know the answer for that 1 :p 3.50am? Did i chat to ya before or after then? hehehe

fa jing: as far as i know the qur'an and sunnah basically states that you CAN have multiple wives if you can provide for them all EQUALLY. As in if u buy clothes for 1 u have to make it equal for the others... no favouratism. if you can't provide for yourself and 1 wife 1st, then no way in heck should ya be thinking about any others... theres a difference between lusting/wanting to sow ur oats than marriage and partnership... this is all i know, but really i am starting to learn now.

But of course marriage is a partnership where everyone is equal... doesn't matter where you are from.

Anyway, i think 1 is MORE than enuff trouble don't ya agree? ;)

[FatherDog]

The Old Testament contains many examples of exemplary figures having multiple wives, and the New Testament never says anything specifically against it. So, one can presume that polygamy is not inherently non-Christian.

It is illegal, however. So practice saying "She's our, uh, houseguest."

[dezhen2001]

lol but true father dog... :D

personally i couldn't see myself with any more than 1 person, but who can judge another? :)

[Tae Li]

well, seeing as this is my guys thread, does that give me permission to say atleast ONE thing about Jet??? :D
