Hard Times During LENT

Since the 9th of March 2011, I have been on a peroid of LENT( which is basically a period where we must FAST & not eat, or sacrifice something that we mostly do on daily for JESUS CHRIST who died for us, We are preparing for his Crucificition & the rise He will have during the Easter period, Its celebrated/or observed by most Christians) Im METHODIST**Ke mo WESELE** so its my first time doing this, so I couldnt go on fasting from food or bread, anything like that, Im skinny as it is & bread is the easiest & convinient thing I think about when Im hungry.So I offered to stay away from any social site im engaged in, from Mxit, Facebook, Twitter, Blueworld and and and... Some have been saying thats not a sacrifice, but I ask them to stay of Facebook for just a day & they couldnt. 1 guy said to me he peeked thru Facebook & didnt comment, so he wasnt using facebook, & I told him the thing of U peekin thru means U dnt wanna be left behind from what other people are going thru or experiencin...so its cheating.And he got to understand my Sacrifice from any social site. The Hard part about it I got so used to updating about anything I was goin thru or what i had seen or heard or whats Bugging me, losing contact with my former school mate, current mates & friends who I met khona daa ko Facebook or Mxit. I Remember South African Cricket team playing New Zealand at the World Cup & thought of some many h=guys who would hv tweeted about that game @Thomasmsengana @Junia_mafia @realpysfoI missed a lot. < Now the El Classico @ Santiago Barnebaeu REAL MADRID vs BARCELONA -La Liga MATCH THIS COMMING SATURDAY,My last time on twitter was when my Team Aresenal played against Barcelona in the 2nd leg of the last 16 of EUFA Champions league & sadly we lost agianst them & Twitter was really nice, & u got to see how many arm chair coaches & experts are there in the world(depending on who u follow).Its the game Mourhino would love to redeem himself from, after 5-0 loss their suffered of the 1st leg of the league. Messi vs Ronaldo.... Di Maria vs David Villaa href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEvufP_TmseJl6SNiu1ppV8P3mnfSKfHvmDFMYhZ0tW741hSGpJyHqeF9Dw9sM2cGg9mRv079N70y_Bd4PTTPN1Q3eKWGxctHqzqU1iZjv2rJhLFuIigFUezLDBhtjshRJ_vzFxzk6pWI/s1600/Barcelona-vs-Real-Madrid+messi+%2526+ronaldo.bmp"> Arsenal are playing against Liverpool on Sunday, in the Premier league (EPL). Since they became Draw specialist, I won’t be surprised if Arsenal draws another 1 or even lose this game, having seen the form Liverpool is in now. I’m an Arsenal fan, & love this team but the form missed chances they had in the last few months is nothing to like about that team. The loss to Birghniham in the Carling Cup final(the only cup we had realistic chances in) the Loss to Barcelona in the 2nd leg of the Uefa Champions League, & the defeat against Man U in the FA cup. Okay we cant win them all, But at least something to ease of the trophy drought at the Emirates (But since moving from Highbury to the Emirates, we haven’t won anything, Wenger must consult with a some Sangoma from Free State, re kgotsise ba ko Limpopo ba bereka over time this days, ai ai ai Lmao) a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOhN7BMfXP8sXCbruhNIfQqy14OBuQtSmarR6qAtsEhPag5QDSb6cXYB5JKqSKMinMkD6cTmABGRK60HW25FBHpASXJ7MBHEvGAv01UlvNQw1BXHmyot-j1ke15HQEJaYlNvVisoznOLI/s1600/arsenal-vs-liverpool-3d.jpg"> Man City Is Playing against Man U, I think Man U will man Handle the cities & win this game, since the absence of striker Tevez. Mario Balloteli is fantastic striker but his arrogance & nonsense behavior doesn’t deserve him a spot at the City line up. I hate Man U But I think they will take this & make it treble( League- FA _ & Uefa)….dnt know if Barca or Madrid fans agree with Man U taking Uefa. I will miss facebook & twitter for Updates On the score & what the ref Did or dint do or who scored what and and and. Its nice seeing everyone going at each other for some soccer team the so love Or as mostly are, loved after winning & dominating during one season. I have to say this: Most Chelsea fans came when Jose Morhino won the league & brought winning form to Chelsea & most Man u fan are there bcoz it’s the most popular sports team in the world. And now I vowed not to drink & take a break from partying & mejakallo . This is has been hard as I have miss’d 2 21st parties so far, a concert at the Orlando stadium on 1 April & some great moments I could have had with a green bottle(Sprite I mean)!!! Now the T.U.T Fresher bash @PTA Show grounds, with a good line up of Dj’s & artists Here the flyer : & the Tut fresher bash again this weekend....yona na weeeeeee DJ’s: Mo Flava, Mac G, Lulo Café, DJ Naves, Christos, Amon Mokwena, Adil, Artists: Khuli “ Motswako-Originator” , TearGas, Big Nuz , Tira, and and and……… Mc Bujy (from Yfm & dance off Butt off_SAVersion) & Bonang Its bound to be Stupid. Arguably one of the 3 best universities fresher’s in Pretoria among the Tuk’s Rag, Medunsa Fresher’s bash!!! But until Lent is done on Easter Monday when Jesus Christ rise from the dead, I shall sacrifice my airtime & megabytes &my time to spend on those social sites & use it to Pray acknowledge gore Jesu ke Morena & he died for me & you, so that we can live forever as long as we believe in him & GOD. Amen!!! ***Okay Confession, staying away from social sites we not the only sacrifice I want to do, I had others, which some I couldn’t even resist them & fall in the trap. But through Christ Jesus who gives me strength, I will finish my race & try to do another 40 days after Jesus resurrection & be clean from things that the body like & do things that are control by the spirit_ ( I’m not trying to be a Moruti but a better Christian)

Man vs Lisbo

This World has taken a dramatic U-turn. Things have really changed, I feel like a old toppie, whose complains about how much this new generation is totally different from the generation before…..Okay I’m still a laittie, haven’t reach 25th yet. But a good friend of mine, come to me and disclose that, a girl just told him that “He should stay away from her (his) dating territory”. I mean …. (((WTF))). What do you say after that?

This girl (or this girl who’s proudly acting/doing thing guys do, which kinda makes U think she is a guy) is openly Lesbian. Told this guy that he should not propose (her) girls.
So has the world got this far that we guys have to fight girls/ladies with other lesbians & not guys anymore.
It’s kinda scary & shocking, ‘cause I wouldn’t know how to deal with it. I’m generally a cool, calm guy who laugh things off, even the most violent confrontation ,I will laugh it off, coz I don’t believe much in having a heated debate with self-less people (self-less in that, a an intelligent person wont argue with another but engage in a peaceful debate).
But having to fight for a girl with a lesbian (not to demean the lisbo’s) that’s crazy, & crossing the line, I think we have accommodated them & allow them to be at ease way to much. Something have barriers, and Lisbo dating straight chick’s that’s over the limit.

I grew up with this notion that Gays & Lisbians should date one another, because how do they intersect, they both have same thing.

But it pose a question in my mind, do gays & lesbian n fall for everygirl or guy, or do they go for someone with (less)of the hormones of their original gender. Like a gay guy will go for a guy with less male hormones & more of the feminine one’s. I dont know
But maybe that girl the dude has chasing, has more male hormones( or slightly lisbo) hence the openly lisbo went for her.

I wouldn’t mind catching my woman & lisbo doing the deed, a 3 sum without waking a sweat or lying to them and bedding them.

But on he real, has the real world come to this that we have to do this,
**My aim is not to ridicule anyone but clear what’s on my mind**

Western cape Vs Gauteng

Gauteng vs Western cape
Cape vs Pta


Sports teams in the Cape are now the I.T guys "Da isshh".They seem to dominating in every sports codes, What'sUp GP(PTA & JHB)??? have u guys lost ur cool. Gauteng teams were top favourites in most sporting codes, but now ayii something is wrong with them or the Cape teams are on flying good form.
You take a look at cricket, the Nashua Titans (Pretoria) have been the better performing team in the domestic cricket league. They were leading the 4days tournament , the Supersport Series, until the Cape Cobras (Cape Town) ousted them from the top. During the the Standard Bank Pro20 series, the Nashua Titans(Pta) after playing superbly during group stages,went into the 2legged semi-final expecting to win & advance to the finals. But itwasnt to be, the Cape Cobras (Cape Town) beat the Titans, in both legs. So the Capetonians have 1-0 to the Capital City(ohh it's cause C.Cobras won the Pro20 series & now recently won the Supersport series log...mmmmkay 2-0 it is)

RUGBY


The Vodacom Blue Bulls (will they change their colour to RED since Vodacom new logo is red & be known as Vodacom Red Bulls)lost the game against DHL Stormers, yaaa Cape Town beat the Pretorians again. After 6weeks of Super rugby the DHL Stormers are leading the log. In the younger age groups too, Western Province / Stormers are performing better than Highveld teams, it must be meaning they must be doing something really good down there ko KaapStad, or is it the fish, or weed they taking too much off.
In the Varsity Cup, the final ko Tukkies rugby ground on the 11 April, Tuks (Univ. of PTA) played UCT(Univ. of Cape Town). I wished & hope the Tuk's boys brought back our pride back & win this game, but sadly they lost .I do attend at T.U.T(I dnt think its relevant to mention my team'sperformance looking they just won 1 match) ya enough said!!!bUT WE have beaten C.U.T & are back in the Varsity Cup 4 next year

SOCCER
Ajax Cape Town is now 2ND on the PSL league Log, behind Pirates, after 26 matches. They have beat Orlando Pirates in their 2nd last match 3-0 (yaa tjoo!! 3-0 ke COMBO).and they look they will take the league, which is good for me as a Kaizer Chiefs fans, as long as Pirates or Sundowns dnt win the league im ood, if Pirates eka winna ro lapisa ke batho tjo plus smelly armpits, phela lets be honest, if u own 1 shirt ya Pirates & wear it on saturday, game day, & wear it again on sunday th whole day & monday to school/work, where do you get a chance to wash it. And u cant tell during the night, when most go home round about midnite,after drinking & celebrating & u tell me by 6am its already dry, le bare LG machine works the best..aaaiiiy.Pls give ur T-shirts a break guys
So the must be somthing the Western Cape is doing good about their sports teams, or does it mean the DA is governing that province & they are the only politicl pary to promise & bring results..Does it say the DA led government/area is producing better results than he ruling party.17 years later & still same tag line better life 4 all,havnt they bettered lifes yet & move to a better position..yeeeeeah

2011 ICC CRICKET WORLD CUP

ICC CRICKET WORLD CUP

**NOTICE**

*****THIS POST WAS WRITTEN WAY EARLIER BEFORE THIS DAY ITS POSTED ON.

DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES & INTERNET PROBLEMS IT IS POSTED ON THIS DAY THE 25 MARCH 2011. IT WAS WRITTEN AS A WORD DOCUMENT ON THE 23 MARCH 2011 & KEPT IN MY MEMORY STICK, SO SOME EVENTS HAVE ALREADY PAST, SINCERE APOLOGIES****

Now the Cricket World Cup has started, the group stages are done. We moving in to the

knockout stages, the quarterfinals, semi’s & the ultimate final. I think all the teams that were expected to be in the knockout stages have made it. I honestly think Bangi’s (Bangladesh) should have at least made it to the quarterfinals, those fans in Dhaka really need something to cheer them up, they have really backed up their team & fill those stadiums. It felt sad when South Africa crashed them like that, a 206 runs loss, EISH!!!

England was lucky to get thru, that game against West Indies was something to comeback like that, and did that against South Africa & made a comeback of note. Who ever is their fielding coach & bowling coach must be doing some really good damn job. They are the under dog, and might upset many.

This how the two groups finished like in the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup

GROUP A

TEAMS	PLAYED	WIN	POINTS	N.R.R
Pakistan	6	5	10	0.758
Sri Lanka	6	4	9	2.582

New Zealand	6	4	8	1.135
Zimbabwe	6	2	4	0.030
Canada	6	1	2	-1.987
Kenya	6	0	0	-3.042

GROUP B

TEAMS	PLAYED	WIN	POINTS	N.R.R
South Africa	6	5	10	2.026
India	6	4	9	0.900

West Indies	6	3	6	1.066
Bangladesh	6	3	6	-1.361
Ireland	6	2	4	-0.696
Netherlands	6	0	0	-2.045

(Those in red didn’t make it)

The quarterfinals look like this

23 March 2011

Pakistan vs West Indies - Venue: Dhaka

Pakistan are my favorites’ to win this game. They bowling is superb, with Umar Gul & Shahid Afridi. They have 30 wickets between them in this World Cup alone, proves that they can restrict batting sides runs & targets. Afridi (Bang bang Afridi) has not perform that well with the bat, which he is affectively known for.

Pakistan was the last team to beat Australia in a World Cup in the 1999 World Cup, before their 34-match unbeaten run in the World Cup & now they were the ones who broke that unbeaten runs of the Aus.

The Windies on the other hand also have a good bowling side, with the likes of Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach & Suleiman Benn. Their batting is also not that good, with the game against England in mind; they lost it with their batting, after Ravi Rampaul destroyed the Indians batsmen.

My winner is Pakistan

** Pakistan ended up winning the game with 10 wickets against Windies .

Here is the score card

24 March 2011

Australia vs Indians – Venue Ahmedabad

Arguably the match of the tournament; Indians are the host & the No:1 side in ODI’s while Australia won 3 consecutive last World Cups & known to give their all in ICC tournaments & have a the best team. Tickets for that match have already been sold hours after going to sale.

Dhoni vs Ponting, Yuvraj vs Watson, Haddin vs Sehwag that’s the batting battle that will go down & not forget the Lil Maestro Sachin Tendulkar.

The bowling : Zaheer Khan vs Mitch’y Johnson & Munaf Patel vs Brett Lee.

It will be an epic game, but I think Indians will take it.

**Again as I predicted Indians won the game,Now setting up an old Asian Clash against the Pakis...

25 March 2011

South Africa vs New Zealand – Venue Dhaka

With Brandon McCallum & Ross Taylor in this form, this game will be a tight game. But I know South Africa will make it thru easily. Black Caps captain Daniel Vettori nursing and injury & not sure if he will make it to the starting 11, Black Caps don’t pose much threat to the on song Proteas. AB De Villiers is on such good form & had a good rest for missing 2 games, Hashim Amla & JP Duminy are also providing heavily with the bat.

The bowlers, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, Robbie Peterson, Imran Tahir, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, with that kind line up you can destroy any batting side. And the fact that they have manage to take all ten wickets in all the group matches they have played so far, show’s that bowlers are contributing heavily too.

Tsotsob’s finally got a chance to play in the World Cup, after traveling with the Protea’s in the 2007 World Cup & didn’t play, has finally got to bowl a ball & got 3 wickets & the man of the match against Bangi’s. Robbie P has also been in & out of the Proteas side for years, is impressing taking 14 wickets in the group stages at an average of 10 & run rate /over 3.78.

Proteas are taking this game and moving to the semi’s.

26 March 2011

Sri Lanka vs England - Venue: Colombo

Tough match to predict. Sri Lanka has a better performance rate in this World Cup than England. England with their bowling power to upset many batting sides are a force to be reckon with. Having upset the Proteas & the Windies with their ability to defend their low totals, they are the dark horse’s and might upset the Lankan’s. Sri Lanka batting is on point, Kumar Sangakkara leading the top batsmen after the group stages with average of 121 7 strike rate of 89,his gonna torment those English. Dilshan & Tharanga will also help pile up runs for the Sri Lankans. Murali Muralitharan playing in his final World Cup, is still be able to spin that ball & deceive batsmen and get them out.

The English have Andrew Strauss & Trott, if they get going the middle & lower batsmen have less task on their hands, coz the middle order has been failing to support what the opening batsmen have done.

Winner: Sri Lanka

Semi-Finals

(if my predicted teams win, this how the semis will look)

29 March 2011

South Africa vs Sri Lanka – Venue: Colombo

Sri Lanka playing at home, they will be the favourites to win this match. The Proteas having gotten this far, this will be time to shake off their knockout stage hiccups in ICC events and make to the finals, PLEASSSEEE PROTEAS DO MAKE THIS TIME!!!!!
