The Prick Test

As misleading as the title of this post may be to some, letme me get this out of the way early...This is not about deciding whether or not a phallus is or is not a male member nor is this about how one should go about finding out whether someone is unpleasant.
This is a metaphor.
This is about how my amigo known as "Sully" around these parts is my "prick test".
A prick test as you may know is carried out when one wants to donate blood. One is "pricked" by a small needle on the finger and their blood, on the needle, is tested.
Sully is the needle.
My words are the blood.
Sully has made me realise that, while I am much less prolific than I once was, I still have much to donate.
Like the high Iron count in my blood, my words are of value.(Thats right, I'm so metal I have a huge Iron Count)
Sully has made me cry out "What the FUCK?!" just as the needle does as it pierces my flesh.
Thank you Sully, thank you.

Much of the Downturn in regular posting has been down to my busy schedule. My hobbies keep me busy 4 days a week while Socialising takes up my weekends. This leaves me a single day of rest on which I usually like to turn off my brain.

But this long,long break has given me tales-a-plenty to recant. I have travelled and seen many wonders on the mainland.
I have taken up MMA(mixed martial arts) and my rock-climbing is solid as...well, a rock.

So the future looks to be glorious in this time of recession and my writing is leading us there. Look forward in disbelief.

...Also, rumours of my death are greatly exagerrated.
