School is out!

Wow i must say i am rather elated at the fact that i am done with my exams. Don't get me wrong, knowledge is good and i love the rush and sleepless nights that come with the exams (i am not just paying lip service, i actually do) but having finnished my last exam on monday this effectively made me one of the last people to finnish their exams,boy i tell you last week was a mental challenge and a half.Not only was i suppose to stoumach the fact that almost everyone at our commune was done with their exams,and were going about  their business all footloose and fancy free.But the fact that i had to time  everything i did. meaning that if i went to the loo for a bit i had to time that brief moment to ensure that i kept to the schedule.Man i felt worse than a prisoner at guantamo bay (okay,maybe thats taking a bit to far) but it was psychological toture i tell you, i was counting every nano-second that went by hoping that time would pass so fast that i would not even feel that tedious and mind gnawing process called studying.But then sunday came, i tell you i hadn't been so excited by a sunday since my days of sunday school were i knew that my mom would bribe us with home baked pie just so that we would agree to go to (Hey don't get me wrong ,i loved church the only problem was waking up in the morning) Anyway,this sunday felt exactly like that because i knew that my suffering would came to an end in less than 24 hours.Then monday came, oh monday, boy had i been waiting for you.Funny enough, i thought that after i would feel like shabir shaik having just escaped 15 years of prison, but truthfully, i feel the same in fact i can't even remember the actual reason i even had a problem with the studying. But enough with all of that. its going to be december in about two weeks and i must say i am very much looking forward to it.So untill next year,Nisalekahle.

Shouldn't we be a bit concerned?

Hi there, i am willing to bet that you are one of the people who rejoiced a great deal yesterday when news of the capture and killing of the ex Libyan leader Col. Maumer Gadahfi were aired on the news. Don't get me wrong I am elated by the fact that Libyans can resume their lives and try to pick up the pieces.Furthermore, anyone who possesses the evil to turn on their own countrymen and murder them for standing up for their rights to be treated as human beings is, quite frankly not fit to for leadership. But having said that, i am starting to question (truth is, i started being concerned a while back but have now reached fever pitch) the role of the Americans in world politics, i mean not only do they have the have the UN right were they want them, but they also do anything they please to anyone they have a probem with and at any time they see fit. It matters not whether you're interested in politics, the fact that some nation which quite frankly will cease to be the dominant superpower sooner rather than later, goes about bombing and shooting up defenceless nations and perturbs the relatively normal life that people in those countries are used to as if it was still the "glory" days of the Roman Empire, is very disconcerting to put it mildly.And Just who is the US accountable to?. from where I am sitting (yes i am sitting, i am not just using this phrase  for convenience) it seems as if bullying nations into submission instead of policing its unruly corporate sector which behaves as if it were a hungry guide dog going about searching for food to feed itself instead of worrying about the blind person placed in its care.The USA's rogue antics, especially in regions which possess considerable oil wealth must not only be questioned, but the powers that be must act decisively and swiftly in reminding the folks at the Pentagon that they are a part of a global village and simply cannot carry on acting  like a student who is smugly satisfied of being the smartest student in a class of the dumbest bunch in school.Whatever noble intentions they might claim drive them when attacking and reeking havoc and displacing multitudes of people, the US and its cronies should be alerted to the fact that we see through their so called "fighting for the greater good". And their pretence is further demonstrated by situations such as Zimbambwe, if the US is concerned by the unjust treatment of people, then why won't they aid Zimbabweans by ousting that ruthless tyrant Mugabe? I'll tell you why, it's simply because there is nothing in it for them! And whether it' Bush or Obama one thing is for sure, America behaves as if the world owes it something. Nisalekahle.

Jingoism (hint: it has a lot to do with how most americans behave).

the south african spirit.(go bokke)

Many people,even south africans doubt that the boks will come back with the world cup.Their reasons vary from how old our squad is, to the injury scares we have had thus far.Although i do understand their concerns,here  is the reason why i think the boks will come back with the William web ellis trophy(if not, they will  die in the field like the true warriors they are),the boks are south africans!.Seriously, that is the only reason i see fit to provide,what i mean is that they have the south african spirit in them.This 'spirit' has been with us south africans from the very begin of this wonderful nation.when the dutch came, they soon realised that cajouling the khoisan would not help they're cause,so they used force(whether or not you are for or against this, is not the issue).Furthermore,when Dingiswayo-paramount chief of the once mighty Mthethwa clan wanted to unite the tribes in and around the north-easern interior through negotiating,he failed.But when shaka used force(again,whether or not you agree on his tactics, is besides the matter) he succeeded.What i am trying to say is that instead of knocking and pleading to be let in,the boks will rather break down the door and let themselves in!,and this is entirely fitting for the world champions,thats right,world champions! and if some of us(south africans) have somehow forgotten this,we will be reminded  soon rather than later.Nisalekahle.

The "theory" of female appreciation.

Hi world,its been a while.But during that while something has been irking me quite a lot.See the other day my house-mates and i where arguing(debating or whatever you want to call it ),the point is i was actually telling them about the main reason why we guys,men or maybe boys, are here(not here at school papnut,here in this world) see, how i see it, is that the main reason you and wake up or even bother to come to school or maybe even groom ourselves is simply because we want women to give us the okay stamp.Don't get me wrong, i do not mean this in a bad or negative way but come on really lets be truthful.Would have bothered coming to school and studying if it was'nt for this reason,first of all what would you be studying for, (money!!),i bet is the first word that came to your mind,but here is the next problem,money to do what? ok, sure,money to buy swanky cars and posh houses,and then what? i mean what good is all of that if there are'nt any women to drool over you (or scream,ooh!! loya buti uyarokha mngani).Picture this,you are in your palacial mansion in sandton,got a lambo parked in the frontyard,and then what? i'll tell you what,something is missing.But what can this thing be? its simple  there are'nt any people with high pichted voices,big dreamy eyes and tight clothing( and i am not talking about micheal jackson) to cheer you on and make feel like you are da man!! so in the end,my two housemates still don't agree with me,and maybe you don't agree too(but give it time,i am sure you'll come around).so,before i go,let me leave you with this, if you still believe  that we don't thrive on female attention,then answer this question,why do you even bother shaving,buying nice clothes or buying deoderants in order to smell good,i mean who are you trying to look good for? see the thing is if its not for female attention.(then its for the other genders attention,and you know what that means? yep you are batting for the wrong team!! lol).Nisalekahle.

the cold monster.

So,its freezing across johannesburg-so what!you may inquire,well i'll tell you.The most challenging thing about days like these is not just the discomfert of walking around feeling like your toes were severed off or checking if your ears are still there every ten minutes(although both are valid contenders),no!see the most difficult thing to overcome on days like these,is that evil whispering voice(yes evil,good things don't whisper they speak out loud!) in your head that just shouts"don't even think of leaping off this bed,capish".it doesn't stop there,it continues and gives you a hundred and one reasons why this would be the worst decision you have ever made, i tell you even adam and eve's mishap at the garden does not compare.things such as how you hate mr van bommel your stats lecturer, and how useless tutorials are anyway,and just as you thought you might just escape,the punch line strikes,"besides when last did you have that hot chocolate and those muffins you love so much and oh what do you know,palesa did bring that dvd of the hangover two yesterday) and right then and there,bang bang you've been shot down.at the realisation of your loss you concede"oh ok i guess i do deserve a day,just a day but tommorow its back to the grind).however you may try to rationalise the situation, its no use, the cold monster has got you once again.Nisalekahle.

can one really be able to be both nerdy and cool at the same time?

I asked myself that question this morning while observing a group of guys who were a mixture of really nerdy looking guys and your typical johnny bravo lookalikes.Then it suddenly hit me,is it possible to have both the nerd and the cool guy in one person?,Certainly not!! is what you are probably thinking to yourself.But why would'nt that be possible,i mean my theory is simple,study all night and read as many books as you can and then buy flashy clothes and be as vain as you can, whilst walking as if you've just had ankle surgery.how hard can that be.See,in order for one to be a nerd,one has to either be a bookworm or be interested in maths and so on,but in order to be "cool" one only has to look the part. So, is there still anyone out there who still thinks that this cannot be done,i think not(if there is, than you're probably one of those people who thought locking yourself in a library and solving for x allday long is cool),just joking,i see your point.I mean looks can be decieving,just because one wears specs and goes around campus carrying heavy books does not necessarily mean that one is a nerd.So in closing,i must say that it is easy for me to vent about this topic because i am neither a nerd or a cool dude and maybe it does bother me a bit that i am neither a genius nor am i cool but then again who cares(oh thats right, i do). So untill next time,nisalekahle.

women's day thoughts.

Its Women's day!but you already new that.So i'll just say it,happy womens day to every women in South Africa and the world over.But something is really bothering me,i mean if women are really serious about this 50/50 thing,maybe they should'nt limit themselves to just the month of august. I mean there is nothing that spells self marginalisation than having a day instead of the entire year dedicated to your plight,but hey this is just a thought,my thought,hey what do you know this is my blog and that means i can write whatever i like(okay! maybe not whatever, but something like that) anyway i won't be long it is a holiday and that means i should stop typing right about now.Nisalekahle.  

holiday mode

Okay,it's probably a blue monday for almost everyone and for the rest,they're defenitely at home relaxing, and the last thing they would want to hear about is school stuff,so i am not going to mention any of that instead i am merely going to mention how glad i am to be a student.For real guys, it might not seem that apparent to some of you but the truth is working is way worse(well except when it comes to pay day).See the thing is,as a student one can get away with being broke almost all of the time and one gets to wake up at almost any time plus one can get away with having a dodgy fashion sense,furthermore,for guys you can get away with being stingy and for girls for a few years you can have an explanation for being a gold digger!. Okay enough with controversial stuff.I guess what i am trying to say that have a great long-weekend and don't forget your books!!.Nisalekahle. Oh and today there is no word booth for obvious reasons.

weekend special

Do women really hate each other that much?
I think the answer is a resounding,yess!! I mean why else would your so called BFF let you go out into the world wearing that hideous thing called a "weave"personally i think all it does is cause one to become the laughing stock of the entire campus.Yeah girl,see,the stares you get everyday are'nt  of admirers who think that you rock their world.No! instead they are of astonishment and in some cases disgust.This happens with make-up as well,I mean what would be the reason for telling your friend that they look good with their eyebrows shaved off and replaced with drawings that make one look like they're always surprised and red cheeks that make a decent  girl look like a cold war era vietnamese stripper.If that is'nt hate, than i obviously don't know what hate is.And then comes the fake eye-lashes that turn one into the bride of sharkie or even worse,the witch from  the series shaka zulu,HA HA HA!!!seriously though it was either that or  a loud cry.So there you have it girls(or boys,if yo'll are into that kinda stuff) the "loving freind"who lets out a flattering cry everytime you inquire"how do i look" may well just be out to get you afterall.Oh,and the reason this is only for the girls is simply because even though men are"dogs",they thankfully have'nt reached that stage of dogness.will hear from yo'll next week.Nisalekahle

imbibe -(yes,it is the weekend).

choke on your breakfast.

yeah,yeah!,i know iam erratic,but hey whats wrong with talking to guys on a morning?.so its a thursday,and you know what that means,amabhiya !!.just joking guys, tests are beginning soon, in fact iam writing tommorow afternoon.So,what today really means,is its study time.I know iam a drag but hey someone has to do it right,and since non of you guys plan on doing it i figured i should assume the role of being the villian(voice of reason).Just think of it this way,if  you think varsity life is the bomb and you having the time of your life.Then its simple,you have do whatever you can to make sure that you remain here.The only known way you can do that is by studying,and yes, that means swapping your phuza thursdays to study thursdays.So there you go,i said it,if you still want to continue gawking at the hot chicks(i would'nt know about guys) here at school you gotta keep on studying!

setting the record straight.

okay,okay! So the postings are not going to be daily,but every other odd day,happy? wowzas!just saw this pretty young thing in the que to the E les computer labs.She's got red plaited hair and is dressed in pinkish clothing.Anyways.enough about all of that.Have you ever noticed how the girls and guys here at school are always in separate groups! everywhere you go,from the ss to the grounds and indeed the lecture halls, whats up with that?,man that sure is a sad sight to see.See the funniest thing is that both the boys and the girls probably want to jump each others bones right there and then,but both are scared of the reaction of the other.A while back i would have probably lambasted the guys for being 'izishimane' and having no back bone,but hey, we're equals,50/50 right?.So both of you'll  are cowards!.So what if the girl(no matter how cold hearted we are,but a guy would never do this) screams "leave me the hell alone", in front of everyone at the ss.At least you would have tried(even though you'd probably think more than twice about ever doing it  again),and you can rest easy, knowing that your'e not the first.Okay, school stuff now,from today iam intoducing a subsection to be known as, the word booth.Basically this will contain a word you have to look up in the dictionary and make an effort to know.

Whew, finally iam on the web.Yeah i know,where the heck have i been right?under a rock,there i said it.Anyway,this is the first of daily insights of life as a student  at the university of johannesburg.It's going to be about everything,from the best dressed girls of the day to the not so best dressed ones,to the drop dead gorgeous girls of the day,(thats right,i'v got no time to look out for guys),the hottest jolling joints for the weekend and so on.But over and above that,iam going to include academic stuff, like tips on the most interesting school events,amazing reads at the library, and because iam a public relations student iam obligated to share interesting titbits on this course.And lastly,this blog is mainly aimed at sharing my thoughts and opinions about life seen through the eyes of a student.So hopefully as time passes, you guys will visit me,(trust me,you will).So untill tommorow,nisalekahle.
