One day in high school, Nate said: “we need to start a street racing group.” At that time, we all drove 90 horsepower beaters – not that there’s anything wrong with them. Thus, JOUF was born in Ahmed’s pre-calculus class one day. Jaeman was designated wheel supplier, as we all dreamed of the day when we would own worthy vehicles. JOUF actually stands for “Jammin’ On yoUr Face.” (JOYF is definitely a sub-par acronym.) Why did we name ourself something so insane with no relation to any kind of car lingo? Well, ’cause Nate said it with vigor and we all laughed our asses off. Simple as that.
Now, we don’t really street race and I think we’re more of a parody of any kind of illegal street gang. However, we do love our cars. We don’t segregate the American and the Japanese models either! Today was a nice day to head to Treasure Island off the Bay Bridge and snap some shots. Without further ado, drink em up! [Mine’s the shiny black Evo =)]

In the college world, the World of Warcraft, (WoW) is a commonly known lifestyle game. It carries both a stigma of digital addiction as well as an entrance to a reserved group of people. In a blog partially about college, it has to be mentioned. You would really be blown away by how many people and the variety of people who play this game. Blizzard entertainment has cleverly found the goldmine of online gaming and it will milk this thing to the very end.
We’ve all heard the stories about insanity surrounding this game in Asia. For instance take this and this article about deaths directly related to prolonged time spent playing this game. Here’s a story about a suicide related to the game.
However, what about the home front?
I used to be a WoW player, so here’s my take for both the addicts and the uninformed.
