So apparently I'm a ticking time bomb. My blood pressure is high, how high? Well it was written down as 140, and that was lowering it so it would be ok for this dive course. 140 is the lower limit for Stage 1 Hypertension. So yeah, its basically when, not if I have a heart attack / stroke whatever.
Bring it on, Ill beat this thing into the ground.

I had a fantastic weekend, went down to Towradgi with Lana. It was so relaxing, we watched some movies (American Graffiti & The Jerk, both great), went out to dinner and relaxed, I slept for 11 hours. I haven't slept that long since uni, its been well over a year. It was great.

Our trip is coming along nicely. Its going to be the most intense 5 days / nights ever. Disney for two days, Universal for one, and Vegas for a day. Sleep when dead (Or back at work ;) ).

Looks like one of my predictions is right, while another is falling apart. It looks like Obama is a shoe in for not only the nomination but the White House as well.
However the writers strike may end this week. Ill keep making predictions when I have them, hopefully I can improve my average.

This is pretty funny. Colbert, John Stewart and Conan O'Brian had a gag run across all three of their shows. It was fantastic, but its about half an hour all up.

Here is a list of what to look forward to on the video game scene in 08. Im going to give my own sub lists from each:
Wii:

• Mario Kart - Using the WiiMote as a wheel looks good, and its Mario Party so its going to be fun. (I Hope).
• Da Blob - You play as a blod trying to bring color to a black and white world. Sounds different and innovative, so I'm excited.
  

PlayStation 3:

• Little Big Planet - Looks like fun, and with user created levels, infinite re-playability.
• The Agency - I always wanted to be a spy. This sounds good, but time intensive.

360:

• Too Human - I LOVE Norse Mythology, so this damn well better be good.
  
• Halo Wars - More Halo, Oh Yeah.
• Alan Wake - A very original and complex plot, this could either go really well, or be really confusing and bad.
  

Multi-Platform Games:

• Fallout 3 - I loved Oblivion (No matter how much Lana pays me out about it), and this looks to be a hell of a lot like it. Hopefully it will be just as deep.
  
• GTA IV - Its Grand Theft Auto.
  
• Star Wars The Force Unleashed - This looks awesome, getting to play a Star Wars game as a baddie, with full on powers, it's been a long time coming.
  
• TNA Impact - A new wrestling franchise, it doesnt have the name of WWE, but it does have a lot of known wrestlers so it could get a decent audience, if nothing else I hope it prompts a rehaul of the Smackdown series.
  
• Prototype - If its as much fun as Crackdown, Im in, for hours, and hours, and hours.
  
• Mirrors Edge - I'm excited for anything to do with parkour.
  

The biggest ones I'm hanging out for are GTA IV & Force Unleashed. The Play stations offerings look pretty good, but I don't know If i could dedicate enough time to the agency to make it worth a purchase. Halo Wars should be interesting, and will help what is a less than stellar year for the 360 (in terms of exclusives).

This video is compelling. An aquarium kept finding the bodies of sharks on the floor, they had to find out what was killing them. This video shows that sharks may not be the scariest thing out there while I'm diving.



It's such a shame he had to retire the Borat character. Here is yet another example of his brilliance.
