2004-2010; Bad Poetry examples and non-technical bloggerings

A friend's talk of writing lyrics reminded me of my "mock poetry" postings, so I hunted some of them down.

For a while, I was into the whole Suburban Anti-Hero thing:

• Snow Thrower - The Stages of Becoming a Man : http://waukeshawestside.blogspot.com/2008/12/snow-thrower-stages-of-becoming-man.html
• Snow Thing:  The obligatory "use someone else's tune" trick, so the reader has something to hum to while reading the piece.  http://waukeshawestside.blogspot.com/2008/12/snow-thing.html
• Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow - The Shaft: Not technically poetry, it may just be bizarre enough to qualify as really wretched prose. : http://waukeshawestside.blogspot.com/2005/01/let-it-snow-let-it-snow-let-it-snow.html

Then I got to browsing, and thought it a good idea to provide you with a scythe with which to cut through the long grasses of my blog, so I continued on:

• Pluto - Planet or not...irrelevant : Of note primarily only because it is not about snow, it illustrates how a) I can rant about scientific discussions, and b) subconsciously it sort of is about snow, since the whole damn ball probably IS snow..., albeit if not necessarily water snow. : http://waukeshawestside.blogspot.com/2006/09/pluto-planet-or-notirrelevent.html
• My Wife Has Succumbed to the Bean : If you actually know me, in real life, we probably met through coffee, so at least one coffee-related posting is required in this list.   http://waukeshawestside.blogspot.com/2007/10/my-wife-has-succumbed-to-bean.html
• Connections Loom : Before you dive into Facebook, Twitter, or other such animal, consider... : http://waukeshawestside.blogspot.com/2009/12/connections-loom.html

• What is Camping? : My take on camping fascism.  http://waukeshawestside.blogspot.com/2009/07/what-is-camping.html
• Mediocrity - What's the Problem? : A shout-out for my fellow mediocre yokels out here.  http://waukeshawestside.blogspot.com/2009/01/mediocrity-whats-problem.html
• Elasticity: 0  Entropy: 1 : A very short piece about the nature of our eventual demise, using rubber bands:  http://waukeshawestside.blogspot.com/2009/01/elasticity-0-entropy-1.html
• Why Men's Hair House is Improving the Human Condition : The reason you must get your hair cut there.  Tell your female friends to go in drag.  http://waukeshawestside.blogspot.com/2010/06/why-mens-hair-house-is-improving-human.html
