Default Hi

Hey. My name is Taoist Shredder, you can just call me T.S. I am virtually knowledgeless of martial arts, but such could be said of many things, I suppose. Since about six years old I questioned religion, being baptized Methodist and confirmed Episcopalian (did all that for the parents), I began to understand Taoism in 11th grade after questioning Deism since my pre-adolescence. Shredder isn't actually a Ninja Turtle reference, although lots of people think it is; the term is actually synonymous with "knuckle dragger" and snowboarder.

So, it comes near my 22nd year of life, and I am wondering what on earth I’m doing. My largest problem, at this point, is that I have little direction. There is no one to give me good examples of what to do or how to think, and so I turn to the void looking for a master of some kind to help me discover what it is I need to learn. And thus ends the introduction.

- T.S.

first part of instruction.

Leave here, listen to no one here about your direction in life, and never come back.

Now if you want to learn how to fight, stick around.

Its never to late
to befriend 'Master' Bate
he's your right hand mate
when you cant get a date.

Go sell used cars.
Stay out late and smoke cigars...
Drink cofee by the cup
Say hello to your pup
Then drive to Hollywood and chase the stars...

I obviously mistook
a gymnasium of fighting athletes
for
a discussion of philisophical warriors.

So I'll take your advice,
at least
the part about leaving.

Yeah...defintely haven't been here in a while...and have grown into further realization that, surprisingly, makes the Mr. Yum Yum correct. This place is neither of those things I mentioned. For the most part it seems like a joke.

I doubt I'll be back but you never know, some days I like having my IQ drop a few points...
