Welcome to "The Shred"



  
Well hello there, stranger. It seems you’ve stumbled across my little experiment. This is a place where the sarcasm, humor and expletives flow like mead at a Viking feast. A place where life is torn into bits much like a powerful Viking jaw tears at a large, stereotypical leg of meat.

That’s correct, my friend. You’ve entered “The Shred.”

Now, all this talk of mead, meat and Vikings is superb, but what exactly is “The Shred?” I’m glad you asked.

The name "The Shred" is born from, what else, metal. Shred guitar is fast, moves around a lot and is often completely,  absolutely, ridiculous. If you’re looking for the hottest latch hooking trends or the latest designs in the whittling world, well, you clearly have no idea how to correctly type keywords into a search engine. No, within these hallowed e-walls you’ll find one thing— entertainment. This comes in three different flavors posts.



Music- Thoughts, reviews, criticisms and general hilarity pertaining to anything regarding the wonderful world or aural pleasures. 


Media/Technology- Commentary on the at-times ridiculousness of movies, TV, video games and technology.


Personal- Ideas, experiences and viewpoints plucked straight from the crazy skull I've been stuck with for the past couple of decades. 


That's a quick rundown of the content that will be featured on "The Shred." When will this content be delivered you ask? What a wonderful question. I am committing myself to providing you with three major posts a week. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday you can count on hopping on "The Shred." On the off days of the week, Tuesday and Thursday, there will be short posts- something crazy I came across, a short tale of woe/elation, a random thought- who knows. Consider those your grab bag days. 

That's what "The Shred" is about in a nutshell. As time goes on, "The Shred" will change, morph, transform, look snazzier and just get better as more features and series are added. Exciting times, my friends. I hope you check back often, I hope you leave some comments and I hope you enjoy.

PS- I'm going to call you all "Shredders." Yeah... awesome. 



PPS- Yes, that welcome mat is totally bad ass.
