About Me


Aereogramme - Shouting For Joey (Last Ever Song Performed)
The Replacements - Bastards of Young
First off, go out and buy This Book!
Secondly, I'm not on a mating strategy, I do not want in your pants. Everyone looks shit naked so don't kid yourself.
Cheers. Now for the "ME" bit.
I'm Darren and I'm not pretty enough to get by without using my brain. I'm pretty sure I dont belong here because of that.
I Don't believe in materialism, ignore my dvds, games and cds.
I drink from the carton/bottle/can, and if no ones looking - the drip tray.
I like to dance drug free in the ABC, but doesn't everyone?
I spend time looking to see whats written on the food labels, but I end up buying the bad stuff anyway.
I'm not one of those high energy, zany/wacky (wanker) types who have to be the centre of everything and talk even when they have nothing to say, unless Im trying to get you to talk. If you dont talk, cheerio!
I don't do drugs, because I'm happy enough with beer and adrenaline
I try hard to stay out of the rat race, but I eat Tunnocks Caramel Wafers like the rest of the world. And I'm still skinny, RESULT!
I like watching films at the Gee Eff Tee, but no one else does, and I dont like going on my own, so I've not been in a while
I like to wish, wonder and create ideas, but usually fall short of following them through.
I may be the worst read university graduate ever, but as I'm back until September 2007 I hope to be able to change that. So far its not working, and might even be stuck in reverse
Until August you could've set your watch by my distressingly depressing daily routine of alarm clock, work, dinner and bed. Thank fuck thats all changed now.
I like lots of things you've heard about, but if I tell you them all now, we'll have nothing to talk about later, if you actually bother at all
I'm quite rubbish at keeping in contact with people, but thats natural, probably.
I have strong opinions on the things that matter. Big Brother does not matter, neither does impressing people you'll never meet.
I have a healthy hatred for advertising and spin - those things on TV? You dont NEED them. They are there to keep you stupid, and its working.
People who don't care about the environment piss me off
I might seem like a moody bastard, but you've caught me on a bad day/week/month/year when the chats been crap. So chat.
I have the smile wrinkles at 23, I like making people laugh, I have too much faith. I laugh. Although I'm now 24.
When I was bored doing my old job, I liked to search Wikipedia. Then they took away my net access. Try it, but be sneakier than me. Laughing is not normal at work, avoid laughing and you'll be fine.
Karma is when you drop your last crisp, but it lands on your top and not the floor. That crisp tastes better than any crisp you've ever had.
I over use the comma but I dont care, in 2010 I wont be here. Unless I've failed karma. Oh Canada.
Why do I sometimes feel like I have nothing to say to anyone?
Why do some peoples slideshows look like the sombre memories of friends who have since passed away?
Was I the only person who noticed the irony of the 4x4 owners complaining of warmer winters ruining the good ski conditions in Europe?
Work for the weekend? How about work for early retirement instead

My Interests

Avoiding places like Kirkmuirhill I'm a bit of a lefty, but I'm more of a green. Are you doing your bit? I like opening people's ears to new music, which tends to be old music these days. Someone needs to fix that. Wheres the good music these days? I'm trying to learn how to cook. I started by going veggie - less ready meals. After that it was easy. Til I missed bacon too much. Now being a veggie is a distant memory, sadly. I like meat :o( Slow cooked Steak and red wine casserole or, crayfish tails in garlic chilli butter or, tomatoes and baby courgettes stuffed with Parma ham, basil and mozzarella with pasta I can do. The minute you ask me to crack an egg and make an omelette I might break down and cry in frustration. But I've learned how to both break eggs and cook omelettes now. I enjoy a good beer. Innis and Gunn is probably my favourite but I'm partial to whatevers on special. I drink whisky straight, it makes me manly. Ardbeg or Laphroaig, and I'm yours, oh baby. I enjoy visual art but I'm not too fond of the scene and all of its pretentions. I like to read on the great outdoors, in the comfort of my own bedroom. I pray every winter for a month long snow blizzard that I know will never come. An infinite nuclear winter will have to do. I like adventure sports. Mainly cycling - just bought a new mountain bike thats too expensive to leave unguarded, and canoeing, but I haven't done that in years. This will change soon. Hopefully.*Motivate Me to Keep Trying*.

I'd like to meet:

Ray Mears
George Monbiot
All the people who have made me who I am
Flawless people, ha!
Forragers, hunters, farmers, vegetable growers, fisherman, craftsmen, home brewers, mechanics. People with real skills.
I'd also like to meet tall people, with the computer screen as a barrier. You can pretend to be tall if you want to. I won't know.
Sack it, I'd like to meet anyone.
