Thoughts, Quotes, Recipes, Books, Witty Anecdotes and General Ramblings of a Linebacker That Can Count
Who Am I?
- Tarannau57
- 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.

Sleep Is For The Weak.... I Hope
So here I am at 1 o clock in the morning, the night before my first exam and I'm blogging. Tried to be clever (perhaps too clever) and get an early nights sleep, in order to feel refreshed. How silly of me to think my body would let me sleep on the eve of something of such importance. Especially with this exam being one I can gain a first in, which in my life at university is a rarity. I couldn't have had a more energetic day for revision period. Which is what makes my sudden crippling bout of insomnia all the more annoying.
I was up early and in the gym by 9.30. A full hour and fifteen minutes later and I start my revision for the day. After spending all day in the library I then run around town preparing for my job interview Thursday. After that I have food, walk across town, watch a film and try to fall asleep. I nearly fell asleep during the film but held on, hoping that my good deed to my body (controlling when I fell asleep and in a decent position) would allow me the karma of being able to get a good nights rest. Well I was wrong.
So now I am blogging for the sake of blogging, because this blog doesn't really have a point except for getting thoughts out of my mind and hopefully relaxing me in the process. If all else fails I'll start counting sheep.... but being welsh I'll probably have erotic dreams about sheep (see I made that shit joke before anyone else could.. fuckers).
I'll leave you with my top tip for exam period... get super stressed, work your balls off, look like the elephant man, procrastinate like a demon and get so drunk afterwards you forget your own name, where you live, your purpose in life and that exams actually exist.
Peace out readers, I feel more relaxed already.
