So I got Robbed...!

Yeah I know terrible way to start a conversation. I've just become a victim of South Africa's Crime Statistics

I was walking to school, listening to South Africa fall apart in cricket against the black caps...enough about cricket. as I walked on my normal route in walking at a rather rapid pace in front of me was a coloured man... OK nothing strange about that people walk fast all the time in the morning, probably he's running to catch a train or something... so I kept walking, a moment later I looked behind me there was this guy, also a coloured in a red shirt and some brown pants... he too was walking rather quickly... but he was not dressed as if he was going anywhere important. The cricket commentary was so good I did not mind him.

Fast forward a few steps later i felt an arm around my neck, chokingly he dragged me to ground and I was on my back. he came around mean muggin' and shit like that.

Yes he was this ugly

Holding what i recall as a rusty old knife he took my phone and my money... after seeing that it had some buttons missing he was like "what fucked up phone is this"... I am thinking to my self this guy has the audacity to talk trash to me where as he just robbed me... he proceeds to calling me a "naai" as if I know what the hell that is.

I am just grateful, I still have my organs, my blood and my handsome face.

I picked my self up picked up some of my coins and this old coloured oke from nowhere, is like "can i have a rand I wanna buy a smoke"

I just got Robbed you think imma give you money? huh?

I was tempted to smack the life out of him. No consoling word whatsoever and he persisted tryna get a rand from me. and the only way i found the rand was through him tryna pick it up... He witnessed me getting robbed now he wants money too?

Aargh I can still feel his hands around my neck. I need a cleansing ceremony.

Friend Requests

Seriously now how do you add someone you have never met, and they are not even a celebrity.... today just before I embarked on the "Vicious Quits Facebook" resolution, i had an invite from a person, whom I have never met in my life.

So I decided to inbox her, and asked "So... Who Are You?", obviously I was not looking for her name because I could read if off her profile... this girl gives me her name (Lord take the wheel). I had to articulate my question, the short version of the second message was:

I do not know you and why did you invite me?

Not in those words exactly, in a much more polite manner, she then replied: "You can delete me if you do not want to be my friend".... so I did.

Point is I do not like being invited by someone I have never seen in my life before (exception is that if you are an extremely hot chick).

The End.

Facebook

Hi, My name is Vuyisani and I am a facebook addict.

At my age my friends are less and less active on facebook, and i do not blame them, we have to continue developing ourselves, time for fun ended long ago, we need to get our hustle on.

So in my attempts to be less active on facebook, i have completely stopped updating my status, it was a kind of a New Years Resolution... of which excluding the time i had to pay my respects to one of my highschool class and desk mates i have kept to my resolution.

And have being on facebook since 2007 I do not expect many friend requests... the few odd ones that i expect to recieve are if you are a long lost friend, or i'll invite you if you are the type of guy buy i keep forgetting their name. The thing is is i am not a very sociable person, so I do sometimes not intentionally though forget peoples names.

So today i am starting my facebook diet, i am not logging from now.... i want to see if i'll make it till the weekend, then from there i'll extend it.... I call it "Vicious Quits Facebook" cold turkey style

Me

Obviously the 1st ever POTW has to be one of me, and because it took me hours to learn how to remove every coulour but red

After Alice

Well, after leaving Alice it was a teary goodbye, I did not actually cry but I was leaving some good friends. We said our goodbyes and hurriedly we left, but this was because we had to rely on other universities for transport as I was not returning to Cape Town. Some people just do not have common courtesy, I do not know if it was because I was Xhosa or what but, the bus driver after having agreed to give us a ride home, just left us there… but that’s another story.

I was going home what had I missed? Nicy, (yeah I said your name on the inter-web) planned a belated b-day party, of which as late as it was I could not attend because I still in Alice. And that’s it… I hadn’t missed much.

So I expected to go to Get-togethers (G2Gs) hang with Team SID, attend imigidi (Return from the mountain celebrations), spend some time with family… nothing out of this world.

December Holidays 11/12

December holidays were quite interesting.

I have just decide to make this a three part blog, as i was writing this my head flooded with alot stuff. I guess my december holidays were more eventfull than i first thought.

Alice

Its always been a wish of mine to travel, but i have seemed to have never had the time or the funds to do so, well, this time around, unlike last year University Sport South Africa (USSA) Chess tournament was held at the University of Fort Hare in Alice. If you did not know, last year it was held at the University of the Western Cape, which was a bummer because walking across the road is not travelling.

Back to Alice, I do not know if Alice is a town or a village, I’ll say its a town, but at first glance… Alice is terrible I would not go there even if you paid me, but on my second day there I got internet connection, and bada bing bada boom, Alice is not so bad, and it was free. but there was a catch, file hosting websites were blocked… which means Alice was in my bad book again…. but something about that town, the people were just too awesome.

I have never met more friendly strangers, first it was a girl.. offered to share her umbrella with me as small as it was which was so sweet, then the following day I was walking from the local shops a guy also offered to share his umbrella with me, but we offered the umbrella to a lady who was headed to town, but the general population seems friendly…. and i had a good time
