So September comes around again. An important time for us all. Summer has come to a close and we look forward, with some optimism to the new academic year. For me personally, September, will always been a special time of year. As summer drifts into oblivion and becomes nothing but a distant memory, I look ahead and see the challenge that lies before me. My Final Year at University. The feeling I had, three years ago, when starting University for the first time, is something that will be extremely difficult to match. The feeling \n which I had then was something unique. It is difficult \n to express how I felt during late September and early \n October 2000. I suppose I could describe it as some \n ‘baptismal’ experience. Given the opportunity to start \n again. Indeed a fresh start was what I needed. Slowly \n I’m coming to terms that a similar, yet unusual feeling \n comes over me once again, as my mind drifts towards \n Leicester, De Montfort University and my computing \n course. Perhaps again, this is a new start for me. \n So much in my life has changed. A year out, has not \n just opened my eyes to how cruel the real world can \n be but also a realisation of how much you should enjoy \n student life. I can only label the entire placement \n experience as a great motivator. With hard work you \n can achieve anything. I never thought I would be going \n back to University in such circumstances, I had planned \n for something different entirely. No planning can \n compensate for the harsh card that life can deal you, \n at the most unexpected of times. That is not to say, \n we proved people wrong. Indeed, even doubters will \n have had to thought twice. How did this guy do it? \n We were sent to destroy his soul.<\/p>\n
My MadAsAFish Web Account was officially closed last \n week. However, you may find that the website currently \n loads. I will be contacting the support team to shut \n my website this week.<\/p>\n
No major updates to the site yet. I am working on \n added a host of new links. I’m also still working \n on a brand new version of the site. I will hopefully \n have it live by late next week.<\/p>\n
I have been listening to Human Nature from the record \n breaking Thriller album, by Michael Jackson. I mentioned \n on my update, almost a month ago on Tuesday 12th August, \n that Jason Nevins had sampled the 80s classic for \n his summer dance anthem, “I’m In Heaven”. Looking \n back over a year in my life, I see that I can clearly \n place many of my actions, responses and feelings on \n human nature. Telling those that needed to know, was \n the difficult part. I suppose, as events folded out, \n I was more concerned with the final outcome, rather \n than the why anything was happening and why I was \n feeling the way I did. No one was asking me the question, \n “Why” and I had very little time to contemplate it \n for myself. Now given the opportunity to reflect upon \n events in my life, and having the luxury of time, \n I find myself not asking questions but finding answers. \n What is meant to be, is meant to be. Of course, this \n may be the case and everything happens for a reason. \n That is not to say, we don’t deserve answers from \n those, we place our faith in. But if those people \n cannot provide us with answers and more importantly \n the answers we seek, we must uncover them on our own. \n I have found this journey to be one of the loneliness \n in my life. Looking back and not seeing familiar faces, \n you had expected to always to be there. Instead, a \n crowd of new faces and faith in people you unsure \n you can trust. Trust is extremely precious. We should \n be careful, for those we trust and have great faith \n in, can turn out to be our greatest doubters. For \n whatever reason, they want to make life difficult \n for you and prove their personal perceptions of you \n correct. You were a loser and always will be. For \n some the road is too long and the struggle far too \n challenging. They do have their souls destroyed. <\/p>\n
For some, soul destroying maybe. For others, character \n building… After all, whoever wins is the Hero… \n Have I done enough for you yet?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
