Who Am I?

My photo
Daniel Lewis. Ordinary name, not such an ordinary bloke. I'm from Llanelli, and I've lived in Bath, Cardiff and have now settled in Devon and soon to be Somerset. I graduated with an honours degree in Accounting and Finance from Aberystwyth University. I played 3 years for Tarannau Aberystwyth American Football Team and now play for Somerset Wyverns (#57 and now #27). I am the defensive coordinator for Exeter Demons. I enjoy my life to the best of my ability, through family, friends and sport. I'm one of those cases of don't judge a book by its cover. I love to hit and do all the macho things you can dream of, but I'm also a domesticated professional, who loves to cook and read books. I'm a bit of a strange one, from my sense of humour to the title of this blog, as one of the rare few linebackers that can count.

Exam Pressure, Reading and Golf... a Wierd Combo


So it's been quite a while since I last blogged. A month minus 5 days to be exact. It is not for the lack of things to write, there have been many things of interest and a long list of things that have pissed me off in the last month. (Lib Dems, Tories, Revision, Poor Lecturers, Missing Contact Sport and Arguments to name but a few). As for me I have been keeping fairly well, back in the gym and feeling good before I descend into exam doing, hardly leaving the house disgust mode. This is when I stop shaving and don't move from my desk for revision and cough.. procrastination. The past month has had ups and downs, ups being dominating Aber 7's with 7 tries and coming home in third to win the trophy. A sophisticated afternoon of coffee and chocolate meltdown cake (Iceland thank me later.. kudos Samuel) as well as the food I've been eating. Downs have been revision, and just generally not feeling with it.

Exam stress is getting me down, 5 exams in 2 weeks. Combine this with useless lecturers and lecture notes not telling you any facts and it makes for some fun revision time. I always get stressed out during exams and end up a mess, and this shows in my post exam blowouts that leave me in ridiculous states for days. This year I am trying to keep working by not procrastinating and staying healthy by hitting the gym. Luckily I have now got bored of Madden having played so much of it in the last 5 days. With that out of the way, nothing can stop me on my path to revision and good exam results..... apart from the ever growing yearning to improve my golf game... .....shit. (perhaps buying new clubs was not such a good idea)

My latest book conquest has been The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. It's the follow on to Angel's and Demons and The Da Vinci Code. Having enjoyed the other two books, I sought after the new one and once I got into it I found it hard to put down. Not only was it fast paced and interesting, but it blew my mind with the secrets it told. If your interested in secret societies (much like the Illuminati from Angels and Demons) then this book will open your eyes. It sheds light onto the secrets and wisdom of the Masons whilst showing a more sinister side of what can actually happen. It also tells unknown secrets about Washington D.C's landmarks and features and shows they were built with hidden reasons behind them. I found this fascinating. It made my mind explode out of my ass, and if you read it, it'll do it to you to.
