I am determined to keep this blog up, as I feel it will make me an interesting and slightly wanky student type person. Plus a lot of my friends from uni have one and I enjoy reading their journalistic opinions.
So, this blog basically concerns the beach and all things implied therein. Is it just me that doesn't understand the huge attraction of the beach? The main reason for this is sand. Apart from the practical uses, such as glass making, I fail to see the attraction in sand. I am currently in France, and I guarantee that if were to go to the beach, the sand would burn my feet, get in my food + drinks and stick to me like child abuse allegations to R. Kelly. I fail to see the attraction of this. Of course, on occasion I like to go to Irvine beach with some friends and have a chilled day beside the sea, but in all honesty I'd rather be sitting on grass. Or even dog shit, dog shit is easier to get rid of. I mean seriously, my car is still full of sand from the first time Lisa sat in it covered in sand (i'm sure the driver's seat is the same in all fairness but I d0n't constantly see that while driving). And once you bypass the sand, you reach the sea. Again, at Irvine beach this isn't really an issue, as all anyone does is paddle in it a little bit. However, on holiday you feel as if you are OBLIGED to go swimming. It's the Atlantic Ocean, it's still freezing! Again, don't get me wrong, one of the most hilarious days of my life was in France, being knocked over by huge waves and carried several feet before being roughly dumped on the beach. But swimming around in that freezing cold salt, pretending to enjoy myself? No thank you.
Now, to round off my argument I will offer one small advantage to the beach over most places. Beach football. It's like real football but girls and non-football type men join in. It's hilarious.
Now, I have to finish reading a little 1300 page novel called The Stand. Thank you for reading
