Assignment: Poem

Is drinking bad for you? Is it a question to be answered whilst partaking in the ritual of inducing oneself with superfluous amounts of nefarious liquid. The nefarious liquid often referred to as Alcohol. Yes - alcohol, aka - the sustenance of life for those that cannot truly appreciate reality. Reality is easier to deal with in a world where all sense of awareness is subdued by the fruits of amber nectar: ah, alocohol. It does allow a heart to remould to its former healthy state. The blood flows richer, the heart beats slower and the warm blood it creates invigorates a sullen soul. But in the cold light of day the apparent warmth captured by blood is no more than poison - a poison that carries itslelf to the mind in a bid to shorten longevity of existence. Let sleep be the longevity of existence. Let longevity of existence be reality so as to inspire sleep by perpetutity. Alcohol: a transient account of escapism. It makes me smile when I am sad, it makes me cry when I am sad and it makes me mad when I am sad - but it never lets me see what I should see - just blinds me. Never lets me hear what I should hear - just deafens me. At the end of the day - I LIKE IT!

Assignment: Review

Have you ever wondered if heaven could be a place on Earth? Ever looked up at the stars and called out to the lord above 'oh, allow me into heaven, oh, father! Could Dante Alighieri have been inspired for his chapter in his Divine Comedy, Paridiso, by this God giving place? Forget travel brochures, forget Beverly Hills - forget heaven because heaven is a place on Earth...It's sunny Jaywick!!!

Yes, this is the place to take the one you love. Imagine looking out across the cold and murky shores as the biting breeze niggles away at your timid ears: ears that have been damaged by the incessant thumping music from neighbors. But wait just a minute! This music does not emanate from any contemporary source, such as a stereo! No, no, no - this music is made from dustbin lids and beer cans being banged away with sticks and inert pens. If you’re a shopper, then this is paradise because right next door to your new home you can purchase a variety of fashion items, such as second hand dresses and shoes. For the younger generation perhaps a flea bitten teddy bear might suffice and if your in need of some well earned R&R, then look no further than the local public house the 'never say die'!


Hmmm..tempting eh? So come on everyone, book now for some hard earned fun!!!

Assignment:

This is a web site I created back in 2003: http://homepage.ntlworld.com./paul.sarrington/index.html. It really is awful, in fact, so awful it is funny. The rhymes on it are somewhat amusing too. I made it during a bad relationship and found it quite therapeutic. Strangely, the girl I was seeing at the time suspected it was about her and found it not only amusing - but complimentary. Weirdo!!
