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.

You are going to HOLLYWOOD.

So if anyone is in L.A. when the Oscars are on, let me know we can meet up. Lana won tickets to the City of Angels, free air fare, free hotel. I cant WAIT.

I think I support some of the ideas of Scientology. Now calm down, don't run me out of town just yet. No I don't believe in the aliens or thetans or anything. After watching the AWARD VIDEO of Tom Cruise, If he is really saying that scientologists must get out there and help everyone, then that puts it about a thousand points higher than every other religion I have heard of. That is what the world should be, people helping others, not so that they will go to heaven, not because they share the same faith, just because its the right thing to do. I don't agree with the whole, throwing money at the church does anything other than KSW. Maybe I should start my own religion, mix in the best bits of all of it. Makes sense for a God to have a religion.

I think this is how the blog is going to go from here on out. Smaller posts, some full of links, some just rants. I cant believe I have chronicled more than a year of me mucking about. Its weird to think that there might be someone I have never met, in India, or Canada, or even the other side of Sydney, might be reading the inane sprouting of my mind.

After many, many years I realise why I don't always fit in. I'm from the Looking Glass. If you have no idea what I mean, read "Through the Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll. I'm not strange, I'm just a mirror image of another me.

It's Past Me. I Cannot Figure the Angle. Go Ahead and Fight Him.

Well, Alana is now in England. It has been a very emotional few days since she left. First I was paranoid for 24 hours, untill I was first able to speak to her. Then things went down hill.
Being tired, alone and momentarily overwhelmed took its toll and she was miserable. I talked to her over the internet, and knowing that she was miserable spurred me into action. My first instinct was to hop on a plane, however logic won out, and I tried to reassure her that it would be better if she could give it more time.

I don't remember much about the depression I had in years 4 & 5, but sitting here unable to offer anything other than supportive words while Alana was so completely distraught was the most miserable I have ever been.

The next day wasn't any better, after a meeting with a landlord that went very poorly, based on him being a bit of a jerk, Alana was determined to come home. To say I was dissapointed is a lie, I hate being apart from Alana, but I also knew that if she did come home she would regret it. So I encouraged her to think it over some more.

What a difference a day makes. After a good meeting with a job agency and possibly lots of time for her body to catch up Lana is feeling confident that although it may be tough, she is determined to stay.

I am SO jealous of her, but I look at the big picture. She is doing what she needs to, to get to NY, and so am I. Its just that hers is so much more exciting.

Its been a bad week money wise. I lost about $1500 on the sharemarket. Now that things have crashed a little, its a great time to buy (Duh). Im thinking about moving more into shares, but how deep into the rabbit hole do I go?

Right now im split about 55% Cash -45% Shares. I think if I take the view of shares as long term investment than I should move more over. Right now I only think of unrealised gains.
I just now moved more money over, Ok Alice lets check it out. (Sorry for the references Im reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland now, through DailyLit of course).

My Top Tips:

Stop drinking coke. Take a look at what it does to your body:

When somebody drinks a Coke watch what happens…

• In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.
• 20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
• 40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
• 45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
• >60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
• >60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.
• >60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth

HALO 3 CHEAT CODES, AS EXPLAINED BY NEGLECTED GIRLFRIEND JANET IVERSON.
BY ANDREW KIRALY

X, A, B, DOWN, RIGHT, Y

God mode. Total invincibility to all attacks. You can just stand there and the aliens can't kill you. Heck, you could even put the controller down and they still can't do anything. You could even walk away from the Xbox and—crazy idea—talk to someone who's been sitting here for the past hour wondering if that was in fact an actual conversation she had earlier about going to the movies this afternoon and not just an incredibly realistic dream. In fact, you could come back to the game three hours later and you'd still have all your health. You could even come back to the game tomorrow—while a certain someone is working a 10-hour shift at Lane Bryant to pay the rent since someone else was recently "downsized" from Golden Swirl for "managerial reasons" that I'm sure were totally unrelated to his habit of napping in the service hallway—and you'd have the whole day all to yourself. Incredibly enough, Master Chief would be in fine, fine shape.

UP, RIGHT, A, Y, B

Invisibility. Remain unseen by enemies, no matter what you do! You could shoot them in the face with a Mark V pulse rifle and they still wouldn't see you. Or you could, say, sit here on the couch, theatrically flipping through a copy of Elle that you've already read twice, praying that somebody still has enough of a brain left that he can take a hint, but, no, you'd still remain totally undetected. You could probably even leave and he wouldn't know or care. Seriously. Walk right out that door and he wouldn't even notice. Walk out that door and maybe call his best friend, Jeff Harshak, and see if he wants to lick Cool Whip off your naked body. Did you hear that? Jeff Harshak? Cool Whip–covered nipples? Hello? Yes, invisibility can sure come in handy.

RIGHT, X, RIGHT, LEFT, DOWN, B

Infinite ammunition. Nonstop, heart-pounding action guaranteed to get boring, repetitive, and pointless 50 percent faster, shortening the time before you finally, I don't know, take a shower and eat something else besides Bugles and Dolly Madison mini-dughnuts

B, A, X, Y, Y, DOWN, RIGHT

Receive all weapons. Instantly gives you the complete Halo 3 arsenal, including the Mark V pulse rifle, covenant carbine, bouquet of flowers, chainsaw, plasma blade, flamethrower, gift basket with scented bath crystals, trip mine, magma cannon, some chocolates or something once in a while, submachine gun, wanting a foot massage does not make me "high-maintenance," needler, missile pod, I'm not asking for the damn Hope Diamond here, railgun, and flak pistol. Oh, and the occasional-compliment-giver ray would be nice, too

B, X, Y, LEFT, UP, B

Shield boost. Plasma shield is impervious to fire from projectile weapons such as needlers, covenant carbines, and, oh, I don't know, a Glade Plug-In hurled in frustration across the room, maybe? And you never know when you'll be caught in a flurry of bottles of nail polish or even—crazy as it sounds—the apologetic thank-you card I just realized someone never sent to my sister for having us at her party to celebrate her making partner at Kenscher & Foley—yes, that party, where a certain someone drank too much Crown Royal and kept inviting her friends to "join his firm" before he managed the monumental feat of embarrassing himself even further by spitting up the Better Cheddars he'd eaten too much of all over his only dress shirt, which I happened to buy him for his birthday. Shield not impervious to melee attacks. I said, "Shield not impervious to—" Ugh! Never. Mind.

Finish the Fight

Im going to some concerts soon, Marilyn Manson, Linkin Park and the Killers (provided I get tickets). I am super pumped for all of them, I love seeing bands live and think that they will all put on one hell of a show. Now for the two I already have tickets to I am going alone, which I didn't think twice about, its not everyone's taste in music and i really want to see it so I bought just the one ticket. Alana came along and said it was sad that I was going by myself, I hadn't even though of it until she mentioned it. Alana is coming with me to the Killers, she felt sorry for me. In hindsight I probably could have found someone to go with, but i decided against it.
That was a mistake, I should be more proactive, especially in friendships. Hopefully I can make this long term change, I have already taken the first step. The problem, as far as I can tell comes primarily from my ego, which stops me from asking for help, or for appearing weak before anyone else, which is why I didnt go out and ask anyone, because I see it as a weakness. It is ridiculus to think that having friends makes you weak, or that a simple thing like asking them to go to a concert will make me seem weak. I think i could also sense the futility in it, I was sure everyone would say no so i didnt bother asking.
Lots of things to think about, meditate on and work out. Thats why I have this blog, its cheaper than therapy.

It was my birthday this week. I got diving lessons. Im excited for these, I never would have thought of it, but Im really excited for it. Im going to get my license then start finding shipwrecks and stuff. Plus Bond could scuba, so its just one more thing to help me become Bond.

I also got a surprise from Lana. It was awesome. I knew i was going away for the weekend, and I knew there were spa treatments (Massage, Facial etc) involved. I was shcoked when we started heading out west and the Navman said 89k's left, Penrith was only 40, we were going twice past Penrith, where the hell were we going?
Turns out we were going to Lilianfels, which is heaven. Lilianfels is a 5 star Hotel and Spa Resort in the Blue Mountains. It is owned by the Orient Express group, who also own our favorite Sydney hotel, the Observatory. It is much more relaxed than the Observatory, you walk into a giant lounge room, with (I assume since it was foggy) great views. We had dinner at the restaurant there, Dahleys, and it was excellent, filling but not heavy at all. Sunday was where it all happened though. We got up early, played some snooker, in a billiard room that looks like it should be filled with cigar smoking old men deciding who they make president, went for a swim, in the indoor pool, had brunch at the restaurant, then we went to the spa. We both had a volcano rock massage, which was fantastic. Whole body exfoliated, wrapped with a mineral mask, then wash it off and get the all over warm stone massage. After that we had tea in the lounge then went down for a facial.
Good god it was relaxing. If you have never had a day of luxury, I strongly suggest it. It is the perfect way to relax. I cannot speak highly enough of it or of Lana who got it for me.

This article is hard to describe but really really good. It shows the world map, representative of different statistics. The map showing HIV affected people is as you would expect, dominated by Africa. The toy exporter is almost entirely china. Really good, really interesting, although the data is from 2001, and a lot has happened since then.

Thirsty Merc (Live at Sharkies):
For a band that has as much difference between songs as Thirtsy Merc, they put on a concert that rocked pretty hard the whole way through. They started it off with a bang, with the hit Summertime. This song sounds completely different live, and it was a solid riff to open things up. They continued with a fair mix of their first and second CD, playing my personal favourites, "She's my brother" (Played a little faster, making it even better), "I Wish somebody would Build a Bridge" and the encore being "Emancipate Myself", which provided possibly the only time all night that the lead forgot his line, and even then It was messing up one owrd, which then sent him off.
The small crowd was good, but felt a little flat to start with, although you could tell that there were hardcore fans in the crowd and they made themselves heard. By the end everyone seemed to be much more into it. They stayed after the show and signed autographs for the fans.

Busy has become my middle name. Admittedly its not 'real' busy, yknow with pressure to get things done, but Im never sitting around wishing I had something to do. The weekends seem to fill up and drift by all too quickly. Like last, last weekend, went in to Max Brennars for chocolate on sunday morning, sure some people go to church, but us gods prefer chcolate. It was SO good, the thick italian milk chocolate and the Suckao (Pron: Suck-ow) were so good, although im 99% sure i now have diabetes.

This most recent weekend (I am so lazy with the updates) saw a trip with Alana to Bondi. We were celebrating the end of our first Salsa dancing course, with a big group dinner at the CopaCabana Bondi, which was great. Dinner is served continually, no menu so i guess if you didn't like the food it might not be so good. I did, which was great. It also has professional dancers performing throughout the night, lots of different styles, including capoeira (Brazilian Fight Dancing). It was all in all a great night.
Alana and I also stayed overnight in Bondi at the Swiss Grand Bondi, which was really nice. Alana booked it through wotif and got 50% off which means we got a suite. It was a really nice place, and included breakfast.

Then on sunday my cousins came down. I had forgotten how much fun hide and seek is. I also forgot that the purpose of the game, whether you're hiding or seeking, is to shoot Alana.

Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom:
This was the first book I read through Daily Lit.
Addictive as crack. This is set in the future when the death rate has dropped to 0, thanks to the ability to 'backup' yourself, much like a computer. These backups can be restored into clones. In this future money has been eradicated and the currency of the time is 'whuffie' (respect). The story follows a person who is living in Disney World, taking care of the Haunted Mansion. I won't give the plot away but i will say once you start reading you wont stop, which is easy because its not that long. The story never drags, even though there are many sub stories and diversions to the central plot. Each of the main characters are fleshed out as much as needed and the relationship between them is constantly evolving in engaging ways.
The author does a fantastic job of portraying this possible future as realistically as possible, doctors do not have medical skills anymore, as they simply restore from back up as a perfect cure-all.
A fantastic light read, thats engaging and fun.
Divine Word: Read it, its free for crying out loud.

Transformers:
Oh hell yeah.
I was hyped for this movie, but more than a little hesitant.
All fears were blown away. This movie is fantastic. The plot is paper thin, but there is enough to hold it together for the two and a half hours. The action is balanced reasonably well, with character and plot developing scenes. The star of the movie is obviously Shia LaBeouf, who plays his part to perfection.
The transformers themselves are good, and have much more personality than i ever thought they would. Which helps make them more interesting as characters. The secondary set of characters are all quite good, the soldiers, the government (both the defence and sector 7) and the (Hot!) signal expert all fall into place quite nicely.
The pacing is excellent flowing between the action and characters. Its just a great movie.
Divine Word: Go see it.

Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer:
Wow Marvel. First Spiderman 3 and now this. You've gotten lazy. F4:RotSS is a lazy, lazy sequel. It doesn't step away from the first enough to stand out, and what it borrows from the first it does so poorly, so the end result is a massive let down.
The problem is that nothing in the movie stands out. The infighting between the four is never really dramatic enough to make you think that the team will split up. The surfer is obviously a 'good' bad guy so you never side against him, galactus is never given a personality so its hard to side against him and Doom is sidelined for so long in the movie that when he makes a play, it is overshadowed by the larger threat.
Everything in this movie was done better in the first. I have trouble recommending this even for fans of the original (As I am) because it not only fails to live up to it (like Spiderman 3) it fails completely as a movie.
Divine Word: Don't Bother.

I was thinking about all the self help things I've been reading and implementing lately, and whether they are worth it. In the end i decided that things like my budget or KeePass (Which I highly recommend), may save me time, (which I'll squander anyway), but more than that they act as safeguards against stress if you will. I don't worry if I'll have enough money for something, because i know where my money is and can move things around if need be. It provides sense of mind, which means I can spend more time thinking about important things, like, could i get through life with only thumb, pointer and index?

Review:
Gears of War (X-Box 360):

• Graphics: Odds are you have seen what this game looks like. The marketing for it was everywhere, most likely you saw the ad in which "Mad World" is playing in the background. My sister recognised the game, and she has less than no interest in games so it was pretty effective marketing. If you didn't see the ad, well here it is:

The point is, it looks unbelievable. I'm all about a game being fun first and looking good second, but this thing is so stunning, the story can take a back seat to the graphics.

• Game-play: This is what makes or breaks the game. The stop-and-pop gaming, you will either love it or hate it. Unlike most shooters, Gears consists of using cover much more often, and more effectively. Not only ducking behind anything that will protect you, but laying down covering fire, to help your squad get into position. I found that this helps the game in two major areas. The first is realism, in a fire fight you would look for cover youwouldn't just stand around like the terminator and fight off an army. The second is excitement . When the locust (baddies) appear there is a sense of urgency to get behind cover. There is more immersion into the game when you are excited, which makes for a much more enjoyable experience. The game does mix up thegame-play as well, while still maintaining the emphasis on action it presents you with a driving area, a rails area, and even quasi-stealth used against a specific enemy. Thegame-play flows from one piece to another and is always entertaining.
• Story: For me a story is the make or break for single player games, if i don't care about the characters, or can't project myself into them then i lose interest. Fortunately Gears delivers here as well. It provides a solid story, and in the vein of Lost and lots of current TV shows & movies, it leaves it open for more. The story itself is high action, lots of explosions andexcitement.
• Online: As with the rest of the game, this is a hell of a lot of fun. Very graphic, especially when you curbstomp downed opponents. But it provides a nice balance between team work and lone wolf action.

Ten Things we learnt from Pirates 3:

1. If you cut out your heart, you'll be rewarded with immortality a boat and a spiffy new bandanna!
2. If your on a losing side in a war, just swap clothes, even if the other side notices, they won't care. (I stole this one)
3. If you have an armada behind you, it is best to set out in just your ship and try to win the war single handed.
4. When you wake up in the after life, start licking rocks. Trust me.
5. Keira Knightley can fit large objects 'back there'.
6. When receiving guests it is best to prepare an elaborate pose, bonus points if you can incorporate two women into unveiling you.
7. Everyone wants to be the captain, until they have to do something, y'know Captain-y.
8. High pitched pirates are always funny.
9. Keith Richards is cool, no matter what he is doing.
10. Take what you can, Give nothing back.

Weekend Update:
It was Alana's Birthday this week. She had a good day, and there is a dinner cruise on Saturday night as well. Should be lots of fun.

The cruise has now been and gone, and it was excellent. We were all dressed to the 9's and met up in the city for pre dinner drinks. Dinner was excellent, there was even some opera during dessert. It was an incredible night, and from what I can tell a fun time was had by all.

Dancing tonight. Not quite sure what to expect. But I remain forever optimistic.

Review:
Spider-Man 3:
In a word, dissapointing. That doesnt mean the movie was bad, it was good, but the first two were great, hence, dissapointing. The film felt rushed, enemies and characters are introduced with almost no real development. It feels like it is two movies stuck together, one with the Sandman & New Goblin as the protaginist and Peter changing to a more 'darker' person, and the other showing his redemption, by fighting against what he was (venom).
However the biggest problem I had with the movie was that it was to over the top. The first two were, for the most part, realistic, in thier portrayel of not only the characters but the world as a whole. This movie felt like it took place in a different NYC than the first one.
Maybe that is why I was dissapointed, because I am judging this movie as part of the trilogy rather than as its own movie. The over the top style, while not fitting in with the previous two, did allow for some really good scenes, the one where Spiderman pulls apart the water pipe, and it switches between the bolts flying off & Sandman's shocked look was very cool, it looked like it had come straight from the comic.

Divine Commands:

• Watch:

• Prison Break ( 2 episodes in and im intrigued. Not a devoted fanatic, but definately want to keep watching)
  

• Listen to:
• Coldplay - Any CD really they all have some GREAT songs on them.
  
• Go and See:
  
• Spider Man 3: As i said, its a good movie and well worth seeing.
