God I've been in a writing funk lately. Long days at work followed by short days at work, followed by not working at all, and then finishing off with 12 hours straight.

That's why when I need to relax, I reach for Novocaine!

At least that's what Malava wants me to do. They're a company marketing another one of these infamous anti-energy drinks that everyone is talking about. And by everyone, I mean nobody. So I'm going to do it and you can hate me later.

I haven't put up any music in a while, and I thought it was well time we rocked out. Here's Karnivool, a prog-rock band out of Australia. Also, the lead singer looks like Shaggy off Scooby-Doo.

Little known fact #265: Australia has some awesome rock bands.

It's just another friday. The birds are chirping. The sun is warm. Oh, and people across America are going to town hall meetings to decry the abuses of power related to the current health care reform initiative in Congress.

For one, the whole thing is unconstitutional (read up on your 10th Amendment rights), but secondly the majority of people in the United States ABSOLUTELY DON'T WANT IT. I could go on a rant for days, but I thought this video of an AARP "listening" meeting was highly representative of the current political landscape. Officials telling their members HOW THEY SHOULD FEEL about an issue, rather than listening and respecting the people those officials serve.

Let's just get this started right off the bat. When it comes to global warming, Al Gore is a liar and anyone who agrees with him is also a liar or highly misinformed (or dare I say it, uninformed).

Yes, they're all liars and here's the top 5 reasons why you shouldn't believe anything they say.

For all those people that want to get to know the "real" Darren, that guy who does the stupid posts whining about travel or the last energy drink he consumed, well here's a glimpse.

These guys, I don't know them, made an uber-gangstah rap about Arlington, Virginia, the place I currently call home. Keep in mind, I'm totally more hardcore than this, I've got bullet holes in my 4Runner. Granted they're stickers, but don't judge me.

Sometimes Stumbleupon only randomly shows me porn, which can be unsettling when I'm NOT WANTING TO SURF FOR PORN. Othertimes, it sends me to comedic gold. This is one of those times.

Man in the Box is a series of short stories about a man, Greg Bizjack, as he suffers through office chatter, romance, newsletters, and resume information. Watching this gives me flashbacks to my own life, surrounded by printers, and copiers, and a fax machine that barely works and I can't figure out if I have to dial nine to get out or if it just knows that already.

Aaaaand I've said too much. Here you go.
