The POEM that made me want to blog!

• a few words . . . my shit attempt at poetry!
  I met this girl last week,
  I am surprised she doesn't think i'm a freak,
  Every time i see her my knees go wobbly and weak.
  
  We have been out a few times for a beer,
  When she's not around i want her back here.
  
  After this weekend I can say my mind is really clear,
  if i had the money i would love to do a gesture that is so fucking dear.
  
  She drives a white car for a living,
  and she is so lovely and giving.
  I am not talking about the cash,
  It's the way she is and turns my heart in to mash!
  
  I am starting to wonder she could be the one,
  But i am worried if i tell her she might think O fuck and then be gone!
  
  We had a very surreal 1st date, and i introduced her to my best mate!
  My best mate Jon thought she was ideal for me,
  Blimey i'm going to show him that he is right, when we all go out for tea!
  
  I cant wait for next time i see this girl called Becky,
  Even if its just drinking 20/20 down the reccy!
  
  I feel like a teenager so bad,
  If i bought a new bike would she go mad?
  What i am thinking is a top notch BMX,
  It will have stunt nuts so i can give a croggy to my girl i call Spbex!

Internet dating-Personal Comment

I can float in to fantasy land and
be whoever I want to be. If I want to be a high-flying executive, saddened by
the loneliness my lifestyle brings, I can be. If I want to portray self-pity
because I have no money and that I am a single parent I can be. After all, I
don’t ever need to meet these people.

Internet dating is the on-trend
thing to do. With divorce rates at a record high and more singles on the hunt
for the perfect partner, internet dating sites have flooded the web claiming to
be the only way to find your perfect match.

The stigma attached to meeting a
potential partner in cyberspace remains high, or does it? The traditional
method of meeting someone in a bar or at a social event is being competed somewhat
by the web.

As a user of such sites and an avid
supporter, I can’t think of a better way of being able to pick a potential
partner to pieces without even having to leave the comfort of my own sofa. With
time limited in my hectic life, I am able to have a social life without the
effects of a hangover. Unless of course; I am talked in to a bottle or two,
whilst fantasising over the ‘ping’ of an email illuminating my inbox.

The intrigue of mail is like
Christmas day; the heart races , expectation rises with hope, only to be let
down; indeed the dreaded annual socks! The hot hunk I have cast my work aside
for all afternoon, has dumped me already.

The world is your oyster and I can
divulge my world as anyone I wish. The TV soaps don’t rival that of cyber space
and let’s face it, the characters found on the web are meant to be real-life
humans. Unless, of course; you are unfortunate enough to land on my own profile
page.

The beauty with cyber space is the
ability to write someone off quicker than hurricane Katrina: Bad grammar,
whilst sober, has got to be the top award for ‘drip aware’ One can amass a true
likeness or in this case ‘delete’ before blowing a ton and spending a further
day recovering from the flu-like symptoms that a night on the bender would
create. So, not only do you save money; but your kids still love you in the
morning.

I have more friends online than I
do in real life, and I am richer in reality, when I am that socialite girl I
often claim to be.

I completely support internet
dating versus the club scene. I am able to bat out the weirdoes without having
them in my personal space.

Should singletons be ashamed to
admit to their usage of internet dating sites? Would the world be a better
place if everyone didn’t tell a little porky? I’m happier to seek my soul mate
via the web rather than be out-witted in a club. It’s far more entertaining.
It’s the only time I can pull without my slap on!
