It has been quite a roller coaster of a week. On all levels, professionally and personally. My emotions have been taken to the limits of human resistance. To describe, my feelings, let me tell you some of the songs I have had blasting in my car:

• 5ive – Closer To Me
• Backstreet Boys – Drowning / I Want It That Way
• Craig David – Walking Away
• Enrique Iglesias – Escape / Hero
• Ewan McGregor – Come What May / Your Song
• Westlife – My Love / If I Let You Go

There are times, in your life when you face an uphill struggle, a struggle to find yourself and to find the inside person that you really want to be. Having thought everything was fine, perfect in fact. Your world comes crashing down, with news that you are not heading in the same direction as someone close to you. Well, friends, I face this predicament head-on, but not without knowing what can be lost and what can be gained within the next 20 days. I am well aware of the knife edge that my life hangs on at the moment. For we all need to find strength at times when we are isolated, exposed and weak. Well, I will find this strength, get through the next 3 weeks and take it from there. I have work to keep me busy, plus there is so much to look forward to in the coming months. Your kind words of support throughout this time, would be greatly appreciated.

All I know is that, this coming week, is going to be GREAT! I will be a WINNER! It’s amazing, how by putting something in writing, can make you feel so much better about yourself and the situation you face. Well the winning has started already, Arsenal beat Liverpool 1-0, at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff to add the Community Shield to their full trophy cabinet. Great goal for debutant Gilberto Da Silva!

My friends are back from Ibiza on Thursday, so it will be great to hook up with them and find out how that went. Plus, they will be able to help me get through my current predicament.

With regards to the site updates, they have taken a back seat recently, due to the above matters rising. I have created a new counter for the mirror site, so I can monitor traffic to that site. I am going to spend an hour or so going around the pages of the site and making sure they are acceptable. Major updates, to the photographs page, new images added. Some new entries in my Top Ten Of Everything and a few new links added. Otherwise, next week I have a much less busy schedule so I can concentrate on this site, on Saturday morning, before the start of the Premiership season at 3pm. I’m really excited! It should be another close title race.
