About Me


Heya! I'm Danny, a lecturer in the Tourism and Leisure Management department at the University of Central Lancashire. If you think that's boring, wait til you read the rest of my profile! I guess i'm one of those people who just never wanted to leave uni, enjoys studying and loves the lifestyle, but ran out of degrees to study. Having said that, i've got a partially completed PhD to get on with at some point, so the dream is not entirely dead eh?
You can claim to know literally everything about me from analysing the tedious lists of things that are supposedly important in my life, on the left hand side of this very page (music, films etc...). But, just to be slightly different...

THE GOOD

Boiled eggs!.
Learning.
Things that can make me laugh so hard I cry.
Family.
The way the sun shines on moving water.
Friends.
People who love to talk.
Music.
Poker, and other mentally challenging pursuits.
Going to watch my beloved Burnley FC
People who can articulate their feelings.
People who are passionate about the things they like, their life, or their beliefs.
Tolerance.
Renault 19s!
Lightning/Storms, the crash of thunder and the sound of pelting rain.
Travelling.
Satisfaction and contentment (happiness and security).
A good night out.
There's a lot more i'm sure!...

THE BAD

Attention Seekers.
Racism.
Ignorance.
Tension.
Fake people.
People who misuse the word 'more' in sentences (students beware!).
Satisfaction and contentment (death of desire and inspiration).
The M6.
Music on people's myspace profiles. Grrr!

Dont be ridiculous, if video games had an affect on people's lives we would all be running around in ten years time listening to repetative music and popping pills in dark rooms

On behalf of my friends and one of my favourite bands, I also run the following site...Check it out!

Alot of people who are sadly (or gladly) not with us anymore. Lynn Strait, Dimebag and Chuck Schuldiner (all from the world of music), Karl Marx (merely to engage with a man of such intellect), Bill Hicks (the man was hilarious and a genius) and several people whose names are not worth mentioning, to kick their evil ass!!
