Giving humans a band name since '79

About Me

A very quick overview of me and my life:

Im Darren. I'm 27. I work in the City as an Catastrophe Analyst. I spend my spare time snowboarding, mountain biking, staring at girl's asses and laughing at fat kids.

I have OCD. My feet and hands are huge. I have small nipples. They are pierced but no one gets to see them.

"A street walking Cheetah with a heart full of Napalm"

I would like to make the world a better place, but after a bit of sit down and a think about it, I decided I couldn't be fucked, and so played on my Playstation instead.

My Interests

* Life * Laughing * Traveling * Snowboarding * Cycling * Walking * Nature * Cities * Sleeping * Swearing * People * You * Me *

I'd like to meet:

That cute girl who gets the train from Paddock Wood...

People who haven't given up on life.

Music:

I'm happy to rock to anything, I can't be bothered with music elitism......

I have no shame admitting that I like the following:

The Misfits * Turbonegro * Weezer * Prodigy * Green Day * Metallica * Reel Big Fish * The Smiths * The Cure * Belle and Sebastian * Panic! At the Disco * GlassJaw * Jurassic 5 * Funeral For A Friend * Kaiser Chiefs * The Libertines * Down * Motley Crue * Biohazard * Faith No More * Shelter * KISS * Ol' Dirty Bastard * Pendulum * Rancid * Earthtone9 * Sick of it all * Black Flag * Flogging Molly * Dropkick Murphy's * Raging Speedhorn * Stone Temple Pilots * Alice In Chains * Jane's Addiction * Andy Williams * Burt Bacharach * And a thousand and one other bands that the cool kids hate.

Movies:

I tend to dislike very large or hyped films. I like to remain semi-elitist as much as possible.

* Dead Poets Society * It's A Wonderful Life * Dr Strangelove * Once Upon A Time In America * Apocalypse Now * Pretty In Pink * City of God * To Kill A Mockingbird * Citizen Kane * Watership Down * Full Metal Jacket * Kevin Smith Stuff *

I HATE anything with superhero's, fantasy figures, witches, wizards, flying animals, music stars as actors or anybody who owns a long leather trench coat would go see. Yuck. Yes that includes that Lords Of The Rings shit.

Television:

The Sopranos - 30 Rock * Entourage * Curb Your Enthusiasm * Scrubs * Lost * The Green Wing * Spaced * My Name Is Earl * Fast Show * The Office (UK and US) * Teachers * Futurama * Simpsons * American Dad * Top Gear *

Books:

Currently reading "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts. Its outstanding, truly fantastic work. And its true. Still annoyed it took me so long to hear about it.

My book collection far outweighs anything else I own. I have half of Waterstone's in my house.

I like anything amusing, factual and gritty. Someone like Toni Morrison, George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, Mitch Albrom and Peter Moore. Pretty much anything classed as an all time classic really.

Heroes:

Franklin D. Roosevelt, Karl Pilkington, Rik Mayall, Bender Bending Rodríguez, Phil Anselmo, Terje Haakonsen, Dimebag Darrell
