A thought that warms my heart and brings a smile to my face is the fact that I will be home this time next week. A pleasant cosy prospect, I must admit. <\/p>\n<p>Not much else to report really, life continues, as it should. Excited about going home, meeting up with my friends and being at &#8216;home&#8217;. I know the time will fly by very quickly. Just like Christmas did. I know, but I try not to think about the passage of time. Just try my best to enjoy the moment. Sometimes, that is very hard for me.<\/p>\n<p>I have joined many forums, particularly in the past few months. However, I have no avatar and my signature is only a few brief words. These words are ridiculed by my peers and friends for being far too na\u00efve. Mainly because I am stating the obvious. I personally never feel the phrase to be obvious or not required the need, to ever be mentioned. I sometimes think we all as human beings lose focus, and the phrase brings everything back into perspective. To find out the phrase I am referring to you need to do some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andrewtegala.net\" target=\"_blank\">thinking yourself<\/a>! The reason I mentioned this is because I want to create an online persona. Back in the early days of my time on the net, I called myself &#8216;The Shadow&#8217;. This is after the highly underrated and unknown superhero, from the 1930s. To carry out your own research, you need the help of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?hl=en&#038;lr=&#038;ie=UTF-8&#038;oe=UTF-8&#038;q=The+Shadow\" target=\"_blank\">Google<\/a>. Or of course, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spaceports.com\/~deshadow\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Shadow In Review<\/a>. The film came to my attention when I went to see it on my <a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/onthisday\/hi\/dates\/stories\/november\/23\/default.stm\" target=\"blank\">13th<\/a> birthday in 1994. I went to see the movie at the Virgin Multiplex in Slough. Suddenly I was obsessed with the character, and too wanted to discover, &#8220;What <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trinity.edu\/org\/tricksters\/TrixWay\/current\/Vol%201\/Vol%201_3\/Isemetsky.html\" target=\"_blank\">evil<\/a> lurks inside the hearts of men&#8230;&#8221;. Now, being more mature and more &#8216;visible&#8217; on the net, I feel I need to create a new persona in these forums. I want to base it around the &#8216;saying&#8217;, but build images, views and a whole mentality around it. Then, when I enter these forums I can take on the guise of this superhero. Maybe I&#8217;m asking too much. We shall see. I will make it a pet project of mine over the summer. However, if you do find anything out there of interest, please get in touch.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal, were minutes away from beating Manchester United and completely destroying their title aspirations. I know that I feel, like many other Gunner&#8217;s fans out there, this evening. Not as disappointed as I would, if we had lost to the old enemy, but more of a whimper of what could have been.
