Shout out to @jackhaggerty1 for joining me in the goal scoring and MVP club today. When you've got a couple of game changers like us.. just give us the ball ⚽️. It's just that simple #Ballers #GoalsWinGames #MVP #InternationalTakeOver #UpTheWharfies #ImTheOne 😂
Take me back. Can't believe this was 8 months ago when it all began. Get me back to Bali anytime! Not sure who that Mexican is in the basketball shirt though 🤔 #BuenosDiasMang #FreshBeads #HustledByTheOldWoman #DreamTeam #4Amigos #BaliTrip #BoysInBali #Pazzadice #ShockWeMadeIt #GiliIslands #GiliT #ImOnABoat (at Gili Trawangan Island,Lombok)
2017 Reach! A new year... Same Jav.. just with a few improvements. 2016 was a big year for me personally. Did some things I never thought I'd do and gone to places I never thought I go. Met some people I never thought I'd meet, etc etc. Stepped well outside of my comfort zone and didn't ever feel too uncomfortable, which in itself thought me my comfort zone is a lot bigger than I thought. Anyway, I don't want to get too caught up in how fantastico 2016 was, instead I'm focusing on what 2017 can bring me. I'm not for or against the New Years resolution as it can be a good way to focus on some areas of improvement for some people; me personally I don't work that way. My goals are mapped out in a way that allows maximum flexibility because that's how I roll. Not better or worse, just different. And largely these goals I have will be a continuation or slight adaptation of previous goals I have set myself so the turn of the year is of no significance in that respect. However, what I would like to do in '17 is continue on the road of personal development I am currently on. I don't know if this is a new years resolution or not but it's just something I'd like to do. 2017 will present itself with a host of challenges far different and beyond that of last years and I hope to be able to tackle them with the same attitude and positive outlook I went into 2016 with. Are there any areas for improvement? I'd say all of them. At the grand old age of 25 I am accomplished at nothing other than the art of winding people up. Everything else can always be improved. Yes I'm charming beyond comparison but can I ever be more charming, only one way to find it. I will always walk down this road of trying to be a better me. The moment I stop trying to better myself, it will have a knock on effect to the rest of my life. Progress starts within so while I'm working on being a better me, the rest of my life will fall in line and grow with me. That's the plan anyway... Wish my luck 🤞🏾

In a moment where good things are happening for good people (@flakeymay 🙌🏾), I just want to shout on my boy @benjordan25 for his relentless work ethic and drive to see his vision become a reality. Just over a year ago @welcometopc was born and very soon a body of his work is going to hit an international stage. I couldn't be happier for all the people involved with the whole process but especially my boy Ben for making his dream a reality and Karl because without him many things wouldn't have happened. Shoutout to all the people we have worked with this past year, too many to name individually but I wish you all the best in your journeys and we shall see each other again soon ✌🏾️🙌🏾😇 #PC
Big shout out to @worlds_famous_ for hooking me up with the freshest birthday and a jewellery to match 😂 (I've been called 50 cent a ridiculous amount of times) and @benjordan25 for making birthday an unforgettable event... #CelebrateSuccessRight. Felt the love from a number of people all over the world all I can say is... Thank You! 👊🏾❤️🐝🍾🍻 (at Wellington, New Zealand)
Hard Work Beats Talent When Talent Doesn't Work Hard... So There's No Excuses Not To Work Hard Either Way
JB Today marks the first day of a 4 week challenge I have set with a friend of mine. We recently took a trip to the well talked about region of New Zealand, Taopo; it was a short overnight weekend trip, Saturday to Sunday and being away from what we call 'home' at that moment, we decided to treat ourselves.. As you do. BJK treated themselves to a KFC on a Saturday afternoon after a long 4 hour drive, not a wholly unreasonable thing to do seeing as we were technically on a holiday 👀. We found ourselves striking up a good relationship with one of the hostel room mates and went out for a few drinks. 2am rolls around and we find ourselves in Burger King of all places. Ffs. What's gone on here?! Karl and Jav there and then decide once we get back 'home' we will cut out the take aways for 4 weeks. Knowing full well we had a full Sunday of adventure to go another take away wasn't off the cards, we decided Monday was a good day to start. Anyway, seeing as I've decided to cut the bad food I have decided to get mega fit in the process. I've also recently been in contact with a few people about playing football out here. One season starts in October and the other in December. Different levels of football and different leagues start at different time over here 🤔. This is the perfect opportunity to get in tip top shape throughout September ready for the new season. Day 1 is complete. That's the easy part. Starting is always the easy part. The difficult bit comes from maintenance... Wish me luck people 👊🏾 JB out ✌🏾️⚽️🔥🐝
People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine

Football and Goals
I’ve been thinking about life, the future and what I want from it. I get a lot of time to think now that I'm settled into a job earning more fun coupons. So now I'm thinking about life goals and passions in my life. Saturday saw the return of the Premier League and boy oh boy was I excited, I could've done a whole blog post on what I love about it but that would've been entirely too long. Im sticking to the relative short thought provoking post about life.. at least for now. The return of football sparked thoughts in my mind about what I'm most passionate about and what I want to do in my life.
Football is 100% my passion in life. I live, breathe, eat, sleep, talk and love everything about football. If I'm looking to get into something or even build something for myself then football is the way to go. This also lead to into thinking about routines and how much people complain about the work they do; it has occurred to me people don't like their jobs because it's not what they ultimately want to be doing. Its just a means to an end, gotta pay the bills somehow, right? I recognised this with my job and having already invested 9 months into it, I decided to quit and go travelling with my boys. Im still young enough to get away with this.. Just about. 25 in a few weeks, maybe thats why I'm thinking about the future so much.
Today I was at work and the manager, who's mum owns the company thought he’d just jump on a plane to the head office in Auckland to go and see how things are going and I thought about if that was my son able to make those kind of moves because I've been able to put him in that position and how good that would be. Ultimately thats what I want; the next generation of JBs to be better off than this current JB. Im fortunate enough to have had a lot and I appreciate all of it; if I'm blessed enough to leave a legacy in the form of children and they lived the same live I have they’d be very lucky. My old man once told me, he wanted me to live a better like than what he had, I have surpassed the expectations he had for me growing up. All before I'm 25, I'm happy I've made him proud this early on in my life and theres so much more to come. I want the same for my children, surpass what I have and go and get more. That is my ultimate goal in life.
So what do I need to do to get there, I have written a list of things I want to do.. Life goals if you will. Some small goals, some big goals.. All of which are being kept close to my chest. One major goal I have though is that one day I will be a Uefa A Licensed Coach. There are only 3-4000 of them in England and i will be adding to that number. When i get back to England, whenever that may be, I'm going all out for it. Shoutout Karl as well for walking down this road with me, we will often throw ides out there, nothing is to outrageous for either of us. The discussion over a plate of eggs usually
Watch this space JB for the Arsenal Manager job in 2036. No doubt be taking over form Arsene Wenger who will still be there 😂 #ArsenalBants

Self reflection week comes to its near end as Friday rolls around and a lot had been on my mind. Travelling, family, football, the future and things of this nature. Sometimes in life you have to take a look at the things that matter to you most and have an assessment of where they are compared to where you want them to be. Having said that, I'm going to start playing football again although the season is finishing on this side of the world. There nothing better to me than playing a game of 11 a side football, stuff dreams are made of. Family is all good no need to worry about tha the foreseeable future. Speaking of the future I have no idea of what it holds for me. I'm starting work again next week for the first time in 3/4 months and I'm looking forward to it just to get the re up on some funds without touching my savings to continue living the dream. So far the present is looking pretty good so the future can look after itself for now. 24 years old, 25 in a few months, maybe I'll have a reassessment then but for now, all is good in the world of Jav #Blessed ✌🏾️👊🏾😊
Finding yourself while travelling 🤔🤔
There’s an interesting notion amongst travelling people and its that you travel to find yourself; to know what you’re really about and figure out what you want from life. Personally I don’t agree with this one bit because long before I went travelling I knew exactly who I was and I am still that same person today. I didn’t need to fly thousands of miles away from home, to be around complete strangers to find out who I am and what I’m about. In fact if you think about it, it sounds crazy that you need to do that. Well this is my opinion anyway. To truly find yourself it should be in situations that you’re most in control of. Not where you’re forced to do or be something that you may or may not be in a situation where you think you have limited options. These situations don’t tell you who you are, more they just let you know, if you didn’t already know, what you’re capable of doing in a given situation.
I have thought long and hard about this and the people who really really know who they are will be the people who have everything and the people who have nothing. Those people are in the best positions to be themselves because they have no need to be anything other than themselves. Think about why we do what we do, say what we say and how we treat people in day to day life. In work, you put up with a lot of things you don’t want to because you know you need that job to survive for example. If you had nothing, you’d have nothing to lose and wouldn’t put up with it, similarly if you have everything, you could quit and not worry about needing to work because you have everything you needed anyway. The inbetweeners are the ones that struggle to identify as themselves in given situations more often than not.
Me personally, having been exposed to these thoughts and theories for a long time perhaps knows too much to not know where I stand. A sister for a psychologist and a study into identity pressures at university has me looking at things in a whole different way.
Trusssss me Daddyy
Moral of MY story is this, 9/10 I think people know who they are and what they’re about, they don’t need to do things out of the ordinary to 'find themselves’. They just might not always find themselves in a situation where they feel they can be themselves 100% of the time.
JB out ✌🏾️
So here's the situation I'm currently in. Ive been in New Zealand now for 3 weeks, I haven't been able to apply for a job which we came here for due to not being able to access my CV. For those first two weeks I was getting ear bashings from all angles. 'You need to do this, you need to do that'... Hold up.. Just.. One.. Moment. Ive already mentioned before that I am a fluid concept and I cannot be put in a box. Don't tell me what I need to do or not do based on your opinions of how life should be lived. Yes, we came here to work but there are some factors that were prohibiting me from applying. 'We'll make a new CV'. No! You make a new CV. I already have a world class CV on my laptop that my old man is preparing to send out to me. Believe me this is much quicker than me asking him to log onto my laptop and telling him how to send it. The old man isn't that great with technology but when it comes to getting things done, he's second to none. #ManLikeHepps. So now I have my laptop, I've been throwing applications out, registered with agencies and have had some very fruitful phone calls. My point is this, everything will happen when it's meant to happen. Don't rush into something or give into pressure of those around you when you know what you have planned longer term. I could've made a new CV, it wouldn't have been as good or as detailed as the one I currently have and I could've missed out on some of the opportunities I have now found myself with. I waited 2 weeks before I applied for my first job with the CV I had waited for my dad to send over from home. In the following 7 days, I managed to secure 3 interviews, had 4 phone calls about arranging interviews and I still haven't done the old method of printing off CVs and handing them out. I'm in no panic about getting a job or needing money, I'm good. People need to focus on their own lives and doing what they're going to do. Don't worry about Jav, Jav is gonna be fine. I'll always land on my feet
Who am I? Righto.. My 6th week travelling has just begun and I am exploring the impact it has had on me. As I have touched on before I plan to write a dissertation/report/article of some kind talking about identity as a subject and what that means to some people or even me. Doing that while travelling the world with two of my best friends is kind of double interesting for me. 1) because Im constantly moving , changing environments and meeting new people which are all causes for 'changes' to our identity or at least the small adaptation of some of the characters that I can identify as being mine. And 2) I can also look at the changes my friends makes while in similar environments as well as having them be able to give me feedback on what they believe has changed in me. Any information I can gather will be helpful and spending pretty much all day everyday with 2 people who I would say know me very well is ideal when looking at how we are identified. I read something once, it was a Christmas present from my sister; 365 days of quotes, sayings and positive passages if you will. One in particular has stood out for me and stuck with me when interacting with people. I can't remember it word for word but it was about the 'lens' that people look through and how there are a number of factors behind that lens that's makes people see what they see and the differences can be huge. So me and you can be looking at the same thing and see different things, this isn't to say one of us is wrong; it just opened my eyes to be able to understand better peoples points of view. There's the classic example of the teacher showing a classroom the cover of a book which is black and asking them what colour the book is. Of course they all say black, the teacher says no it's no and turns the book around to show them the red back he was looking at. It's all about perspective! Anyway, how this links back to identity is that I see myself through very biased perfect eyes. Having a 2nd and 3rd opinion on what I think about me and just things in general helps me to see things i never would have thought of. So far what's changed? I don't think much has changed, I haven't discovered much about me that I didn't know before. I always felt like I knew myself pretty well anyway, perhaps if pushed I would say I am much more adaptable than I thought I was and I am very much the people person I thought I was. If anything, I need some more down time, quiet time time read, write and reflect on the journey I've had and maybe I'll see things in a different light but as far as I know I'm still every bit the legend I have have always been ✌🏾️🇬🇧✈️🌏
So far the east coast of Australia gets a big thumbs up from me and it's only been 5 days.. But of a headache dealing with all the people that know @worlds_famous_ and @rscw34 (everyone in Melbourne) but you have to take the good with the bad sometimes. (at Melbourne, Australia)
Almost 3 weeks into my journey and so far, I've been to 3 countries I've never been to before (and even became a millionaire in one of them); Endured my first double digit hour flight (12 hours to Hong Kong); I've seen, done and experienced some things some people will never get to see and I'm and truly grateful for that; and last but most certainly not least I have met some of the most amazing people any one could meet. Saying all this as if I have been away for years, and it hasn't even been 21 days yet. There's only one way to sum it up in life and it's easily said in the following statement. 'Boy, have I made it'. Climbing a volcano of doom at 3am to watch my first sunrise in Bali just 3 short days after watching my first sunset on the Gili Islands which were a short boat ride away. These priceless moments with some of my closest people will never be forgotten and will forever be cherished. There have been moments along this journey where I find myself not wanting to take pictures or videos of the most amazing memories I now have because I want to keep them in my memory as an experience, not as something I saw through my phone screen. Now I'm not knocking the value of pictures and videos but sometimes recording those great times you're having digitally, takes away from fully experiencing the pure joy and pleasure that is there to be had.. In my opinion anyway. Im glad the path I am going down has lead me to this point in time, if I have taken one piece of advise from the the family members and close friend in the generations above me its this.. You only get one life, follow your heart, do what you want to do when you want to do before its to late and the window of opportunity is shut forever. My window is jammed firmly open and I plan on taking all the opportunities that come my way with both hands. 🙌🏾🌏❤️
Sometimes you have to climb an active volcano at 2am with some of your best friends to see one of the most beautiful sights this world has to offer. There's nothing like looking at a sunrise after a gruelling 3 hour climb 😍😍 #VolcanoOfDoom #ClimbOfDoom #SunriseOfDoom #PowerfulView #6ftGang (at Batur Volcano, Bali, Indonesia)
Over the last few months, as the days have been going by quicker and quicker, I find myself being asked the same questions by people.. ‘How long are you going for?’, ‘What countries are you going to?’, ‘Where are you going to be on this date?’, ‘What have you got planned?’.. and the short and simple answer to all those questions is i have 2 flights booked. One to Bali and the other the Australia. I leave on May 11th and have 2 destinations that get me to June 2nd; after that i couldn't tell you whats going to happen... And i like that. I don't need a plan, I'm very much a lets see what happens when you follow your feet kind of guy. The boys I'm going with are very much the same, I mean, one of them doesn't even have his passport yet 😂, i mean we only leave in 12 days, no need to panic yet 👀.
Anyway, Rev Run is always throwing out these chips of wisdom like he did in his bubble baths on Runs House (if you know, you know), this one speaks to me in particular because sometimes its clear to me that a plan or schedule can take away from the full freedom of the experience someone is hoping to have. Let me follow my feel and rest my hat wherever my head lays, I'm like the wind, you can't tell the wind which direction to blow in, it just goes where it feels like going. As we travel around we will see how we feel and what we can do next, but as far as knowing where i am after June 2nd; i guess i’ll let you know when we decide whats happening on June 3rd :)
