A Shopping List For The Modern Era

Hello once again! As I've mentioned before, I am a poet. Admittedly, I don't think I'm a great one, but hey, I'll leave the judgement to you!

This poem is my annual entry into a competition that I completely adore, the SLAMbassador UK championship. Check them out!


A Shopping List For The Modern Era

Sainsburys: Try something new today

TV meals, 4.99
To raise the kids that you leave behind

Diet pills, £15
To take your self esteem off the ground

2L of Cheap Alcohol
To fill the void left in your soul

10 X Sticky Plaster
To cover the holes in your happily ever after

3 Cans of black spraypaint
To write your eulogy on the walls of the estate

A bottle of Aspirin
To make the pain go away

A kitchen knife
For the games you play

You were served by Rachel

Have a nice day.

_______________________________________________________________

Thank you for reading my little poem! Now, I've been reliably informed by friends, that that poem is pretty sad, so, to counteract that, here's a kitten!;
Say it with me folks; Awwwwwwwwwww 

But, cute animals aside, tell me what you think of this in the comments, I'd love to hear what you thought of it! 

And don't forget to tune in next time, where I'll be talking about computers, soldering, and gadgetry galore!

Hello World!

As the programming tradition goes, a format should, before anything else, be consecrated with two words and one punctuation mark "Hello World!".

I knew that completely random piece of information would come in handy some day!

Well, I'm sure you'll have guessed by now, but this is going to be a bit of a nerdy blog. But, not just that, it'll also, hopefully, be fairly creative, hence the "Prose" part of the title, which will likely be indicitive of what I'll be putting up here, seeing as I am, by the large, a poet. Oh, and the fact that I can't draw may come into that!

By now, I'm sure you're wondering just what the hell is happening here, and why the hell you should care!

Well, what I am going to do, is write a blog of two halves. First of all, I am going to be writing an electronics, computing and generally geeky blog, that will aim to inform and help people with their wonderful 1's and 0's. Along with providing you with some random facts and figures, because, you know, why not!

The second part of the blog will be me posting up some poetry/bars, or some other miscellania I wrote. Or, some pictures of art, or just some other creative and artistic stuff!

Well, thank you for taking the time to read this, and hopefully I'll have had the time to put up some more stuff for you to enjoy!
