heh im the thread starter and i forgot to post my story hehe
for me, i played alot of paintball and i used to hide in the shadows of the trees and foilage and move from shadow to shadow shooting the other players so the other players named me "the shadow" but it looked to plain and there were so many other shadows out there so i first added a 1 to make it shadow1, and remained shadow1 until the year 2001 when alot of personal events happened in my life which now leaves me with shadow2k1
