I find it difficult to write introductory posts because I wonder what the point of doing such a thing is. If you're like me you often feel like you're just shouting into a large room of equally loud, if not louder, people whenever you put something up on the internet. I'm certainly no stranger to writing blogs and talking about nonsense on social media, and I even had the opportunity to write for a wider audience after one of my old blogs caught the attention of a notable writer/editor.

But things change. Life moves on, people head their separate ways, and some of us just kinda wander about wondering what the heck we're supposed to do now. I'm not trying to beat around the bush and say I was fired from my previous writing job. I wasn't, honest. The website I originally wrote for just never quite took off despite my best efforts to keep making content, and there was even a point where I was the only one still writing. But that's in the past, and I'm getting ahead of myself. 

So why not go back and start with introductions? My name is Tom, but I prefer if you guys just call me Shore (it's a sort of moniker I've chosen for myself. As I have no real interest in the name my parents gave me). I'm an out-of-work college dropout with experience in writing and video editing. For about four years I wrote for a neat little website where I did movie and comic book reviews and the occasional article on pop culture news, and did interviews with some folk. Sadly, the website is now defunct and I now just rant about things on twitter. 

I dropped out of college after spending three years beating my head against a brick wall, trying to navigate the maze of bullshit that is college life before having a nervous breakdown that left me pretty much useless for a good two years. It was a mix between suffering from severe depression, a crappy family life, and the aforementioned maze of bullshit. And I'm sure I'll share my thoughts on all this at a later time. 

So what can you expect from this blog? A lot of things, I hope. I'm still inclined to talk about and review movies. I'm a real cinephile and have a love for B grade schlock so get used to seeing a lot of cheesy posts about bad movies. Maybe the occasional video game review, comics too, and whatever other stuff I happen to find interesting.

I'll also talk about my thoughts on life. Mostly about dealing with mental illness since it's a big thing in my life. Also dogs, because I have a gorgeous 1-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix named Kiva who has been a great for my mental health and and all around best friend for me. Aside from that, I'm sure I'll come up with other stuff. 

In the mean time, I hope you guys are having a pleasant day, and I hope to see you again very soon!
