About me - Matt Morgan-Rawes

The world is a scary, wonderful, confusing, disorientating, gratifying and expansive (and expesnive) place, as I am discovering. I'm only 19 years old and I consider myself to have lived a relatively sheltered life so far, but I want to get out there and

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: On love: 1 of 363

Couples dancing those same old dances Uniform and regimented, no foot out of place Keeping to rhythm, in orderly lines Burning time and filling blank space He holds her hips and gives them a squeeze Whilst she wraps her arms round his neck They look so perfect, cinematic, pristine They look up, still moving, a deft little pe...
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Superbad: 3 of 20

Superbad is a comedy aimed at the teenage demographic, focusing on sex, smut, bumping uglies, doing the dirty, making that special love cuddle etc. It sounds crude and, trust me, in places the language is delightfully coarse and the observations made about sex, masturbation and the courting of lovely young women by hapless, ...
Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles & Subcultures (Other) Defining Rahs: Who are they?: 1 of 3

The Rah Fallacy As an English student and a casual writer, I have been occasionally encouraged by a peer or a scholar to start an essay or prolonged piece of writing with a definition. The initial problem that presents itself in the infancy of my article about "Rahs", however, is that from my perspective the term is so diffu...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The love of my life: 19 of 41

She's there In every smile on my face As she dances in my mind Her hair free-flowing Her spirit rising, soaring. She's there in the day In the cold springtime sun amongst the flowers that blossom And she steals my breath with A devastating movement of grace. She's there in the night She's the furthest star that shines In the...
Sports & Recreation > English Soccer The future of Portsmouth soccer: 1 of 2

Portsmouth Football Club: A ship on course for great things The year is 2002. Fratton Park is three-quarters full, although the pathetic volume being produced by those who bothered to watch the match against Burnley would certainly defy the numbers in attendance. Harry Redknapp is sat in the South Stand next to Milan Mandari...
Sports & Recreation > English Soccer Is the construction of the new Portsmouth Football Club stadium a viable proposal: 1 of 1

The Great Stadium Fiasco (Or alternatively, how not to botch 5 years of good work) They are heralding a new and exciting frontier on the South Coast. Their course has been set on European football and with it a cosmopolitan, European city. They are completely delusional. I am an avid Pompey fan. I admit that in my younger, n...
Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Musician reviews: The Ordinary Boys: 1 of 1

The rise and fall of: The Ordinary Boys "Over the counterculture, Well that's right where you belong, You try to sever your ties with the London skies, But you've got the whole thing wrong. You try to be so different, As does everybody else, Create your own distinctions, And flaunt them for yourself." Over the Counterculture...
Sports & Recreation > English Soccer How Portsmouth F.C. manager Tony Adams can change the fortunes of the soccer club: 1 of 1

Atonement: How Tony Adams can repair Portsmouth's fledging season Atonement: To make amends or to otherwise compensate a wrong-doing. Not a word that I use solely for a meaningless pun, but rather a word that I think applies to all of the managerial and playing staff at Portsmouth F.C currently. Adams is certainly not a man ...
Entertainment > Album Reviews Album reviews: GNV FLA, by Less Than Jake: 1 of 1

There are three bands who have all been heavily linked with the ska revival movement of the mid-Nineties who, since the 1996 Summer of Ska', have been criticised for their movements away from ska after its popularity inevitably waned. One of these bands are Reel Big Fish who, based on the happy-go-lucky, ska-pop tones presen...
Entertainment > Album Reviews Album reviews: Hello Destiny, by Goldfinger: 1 of 1

Goldfinger Hello Destiny Destiny:- "The predetermined, usually inevitable or irresistible, course of events." Hello Destiny is the somewhat enigmatic title of Goldfinger's sixth major studio album. Having sat down with this album and given it repeated listens, I'm still not entirely sure what the title really means. The ques...
