JoE'S JOURNAL EPISODE 8

Hey Peeps,

My anticipated return has finally dawned upon thee my loyal readers and faithfull subjects. Where have I been lost since my last post on 9/11 you ask? Well simply between the stresses and strains of fasting and ever increasing work life I just couldn’t find myself the time to write these mindless ramblings.

Anyways this post comes after what I call the best weekend in my life ever. What about this past weekend is so great that I dubbed it my best ever? Well my country won the world cup rugby dominating the tournament and cleaning up at the awards ceremony thereafter. Furthermore, the Formula One season has come to a close with my favourite driver the finnish iceman, Kimi Raikkonen unexpectedly taking the championship after Lewis Hamilton looked poised to take it at the beginning of the race. I also managed to spend my days with the people that matter in my life.

So all in all that makes a pretty damn good weekend if I may say so!

Take care,
Yusuf

DAY AT THE ALLEY...

Take a look at the bowling scorecard... freaky shit... how is that possible??!

JoE's JOURNAL EPISODE 6

Hey Peeps,

So this is what happened during the past weeks…

My friend went over to the United States for work (from his feedback it seems like everything but work), I had a surprisingly good time at the beachfront over the Durban Beach Festival weekend (Met a lot of peeps I haven’t seen in ages there!); I even played 2 games of soccer in a row during the week (Who would’ve guessed!) and watched Transformers (Megan’s Hottttt… I know!) somewhere in all the craziness lol! So all in all not too shabby if I may say so myself.

I then followed that up with another crazy working week (when will the madness end???) followed up by an even more fab weekend. It basically went down a little something like this…

Friday Night:
After soccer my friend comes up with this crazy idea that it would be fun to go to the Harry Potter book launch. Since I’ve never actually witnessed one of these crazy events let alone a book launch, I decided to go; it is my motto to try things at least once after all. It’s really amazing how people could get so excited about a book being launched at one in the morning when they know the only thing they going to do after they purchase it is go home and sleep… but anyways who am I to say anything. All I knew was I was hungry and there’s always food in a mall!!!

Saturday:
Saturday was a wicked cool day. I went with the gang to see Spurs play Chiefs at the ABSA Stadium. The difference in the 2 teams basically was the ‘culture’ football played by our boys who thought that doing tricks counted more than scoring goals. I did have a blast though.

Then followed that up with my very first ice skating experience outside of the big screen. For those of you who haven’t skated before let me warn you… Its not as easy as it looks!!! And yes I did fall like on my 2nd step… really embarrassing moment which took me forever to get over… lets just say I never fell again!

I then went over to a friends place and basically watched movies, chilled and smoked hooka till I felt sleepy upon which I made my departure to the land of the dead.

Sunday:
I was woken up prematurely on Sunday morning which made me feel quite hung over and really, really miserable… it had only been 3 hours since Saturday night and my face told the story. I went and saw my friend play soccer against the Sundowns junior squad… man we got some rich upcoming talent… I witnessed some great intelligent football by these youngsters.
Then I ended up having an extended lunch which became supper turned into midnight snack… no comment… lol!

I also ended up watchin the simpsons movie during this past weekend… for those of you unfortunate souls who haven’t seen it I suggest you do the next available chance you get… my sides are still hurting from all the laughter.

So there it was… the boring old reason why I haven’t been blogging much of late. (I can’t believe you actually read this…. I can’t believe I even wrote this!)

Till my next post or even longer journal this is Yusuf saying adios amigos :)

JoE'S JOURNAL EPISODE 4

Hey Peeps,

So this is what happened in the recent past... I got stuck on campus... i got sick... still am for those interested.

Anyways apart from that the week was really cool i suppose, I went to a book signing session which was a new and different experience for me, I managed to complete most of my work in time and produce the quality that i'm reknowned for, I even had time to go and see Oceans 13! As fo my soccer team, The Spartans, we also had one of our greatest victories on friday thumping our opposition with a great display of sheer skill and class playing football of the highest quality!And so all in all i guess not too shabby ey nige... lol!

The book signing session was by some famous children's author Anthony Horrowitz (Hope i got that right!) who was actually quite funny and entertaining... Isn't it amazing that all authors always seem to have quite lively imaginations hey? Anyways i felt like a kid after that so i had to go have the one thing in the world that make me feel a little more grown up... WAFFLES!!!

Oceans 13 was a nice movie, much better than 12... but the more important discovery i made while at the movies ws that i probably watch too many movies since i literally saw every movie that's currently out on circuit!

And lastly, for the sports fans out there... what a fantastic weekend we had!

- South Africa winning the tri nations clash with the aussies the way they did showing guts and determination in preserving australia's winless streak in south africa which stretches back 7 years!

- The formula one with Alonso vs Hamilton bringing back memories of the old great rivalry of Senna and Prost. And while we are on the topic of cars this is the Alpha i saw at pavillion on the weekend... ill do anything to have one!!!

- And if you missed out on the final round of the la liga, you truly missed out! The league that nobody wanted to win was eventually won by Real Madrid, on wins! That's right, points were tied at 76 between barca and madrid!

Your ailing once former great specimen of the human being,

Yusuf

THE RUGBY...

***This was originally posted by Yusuf but the poor dude couldnt get the pics in so i took it upon myself to help out***

Hey peeps,I went to the super 14 rugby final on saturday. Despite the disappointment of my team loosing in the closing seconds of the match, i had a great time and in the end south african rugby prevailed! We could not have asked for a more nail biting game.

By the way the pictures, the one is the view i had from my seat and erm... i didn't realise how funny the other looked till it was already taken!
