I will write a better blog soon (TheNews)

After reading a few somewhat inspiring blogs written by a friend, combined with a fear that if I keep my thoughts in my head I might pop I am going to try and write from the top of my head straight onto the keys of my hp laptop but im a tad tired so maybe I will start doing that tomorrow for now there’s this:
OK, so Im watching the news(I watch the news three times a day 1.morning 2.when I get in. 3. Before bed. This is time 3), and its about how the government wants to raise the prices of alcohol and basically make it harder to buy so that there’s less people drinking and using up NHS cash.
I know that my opinion will sound like its from some middle class Tory :( but I don’t care, I think this is ridiculous, if the warnings are in place and people still choose to drink until there kidneys cry tears of cider then that’s up to them, I mean I know that its a problem and people should drink less but if alcohol became really cheap tomorrow I wouldn’t go buy 10 bottles of vodka and down it in one, and if I did then that would be my own fault.
They say they are targeting young people, well im a “young person and if I see alcohol for 99p doesn’t mean Im going to buy it because there is a difference between need and want and that difference is self control!(oh dear I sound so Tory)
It just annoys me how the government treats the public like they cant be trusted, like some goldfish that if you put loads of food in it will just eat its self to death,(Although I would do that if it was something like Pringles)blaming cheap drinks for alcoholism is like blaming quiet trainers for the amount of stalkers going up.
And now for my last point on this, and it may sound rather harsh, Those that buy the alcohol because its cheap then get completed drunk repeatedly, after knowing the warnings, and get some kind of alcohol related illness, Its very sad that it has lead to that but really Its no-ones fault but your own.
And the woman on the news just said: Everything in moderation. (That’s a fucking stupid saying isn’t it? EVERYTHING in moderation, what like crack and prostitution? psssh)

A day in the life of: someone that writes bad poems.

A day in the life of, someone that writes bad poems.

Eyes closed tightly, the alarm unheard
Motionless as consciousness is deferred
Numbers in neon blue intensely shining
A discordant melody persistently wining
Blurry vision distinguishes number
Permits 5 more minuets of slumber
Reluctantly leaving the quilt cocoon
Seizes outfit and is ready quite soon
stands in bathroom, observes reflection
Tries to fix the imperfections
Gives up on that, go put on shoes
Sit and watch the morning news
Wanting the morning to last
time ticks by unnaturally fast
Leave the warmth, bag on shoulder
Floor harder, air colder
Marching the street
Stop bus, get seat
overweight woman with an unpleasant face
Lowers herself beside me, fills the space
Takes up all of her seat and a quarter of mine
Stay calm find ipod to past the time
Not knowing the bus woman, still I loath her
The bus stops. I squeeze past. its over.
The cold breeze never felt so good
Air now smells like it should
A small saunter, then turning
I attended my place of learning.
How will this day will go, I’ve got a hunch
Lesson.. Break.. Lesson.. Lunch?
Talking to people who have nothing to say
Unimpressive conversation full of teen clichés
Encircled by people, still I text friend
Last lesson over, the days at an end
Walk out of the college and then
I’m on the bus yet again.
Get home, get bored
write poetry, it makes me reassured
but don’t try to find any connotations,
amongst the abysmal punctuation
Because It has no underlying theme,
Like the monotonous rhyming scheme
isn’t a refection of the times,
I just like to rhyme in lines
Its as well formed as Larson
In and out of third person,
this poem is awful, what can I say?
dire in every way,
just a commentary of the day.
-The end-
