Ke Nako

It's time!
My four year wait to the biggest sporting event in the world has come to an end!
I'm going to try to watch all 64 games of the world cup without failing any of my subjects this sem! hahaha! Goodluck!
Watched the first two games last night - RSA v MEX and FRA v URU! Both games were disappointing because the games ended with a draw. 1-1 and 0-0, respectively. The first goal of the world cup came from the host Nation, RSA by the awesomest nameeee ever! siphiwe TSHABALALA! :> However, the stadium was silenced by Marquez's equalizer just few minutes from the first goal. I'm personally not (yet) impressed with the RSA NT's performance last night. If it weren't for Khune (GK) Mexico could've scored twice during the first half.

OH WELL, there are 3 games to look forward to tonight! :> :> :> so stoked to see Messi play later! and ENGLAND OHHMAHHGASHH! Hope the English team will sink USA later. heehee!

RSA NT celebrates after scoring the opening goal!

“We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.”

“Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”

“We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.”
