I had a half day at work today because I went to the cardiologist after getting a referral from the Doctor (not the timelord) last week. Went there did their little cardio stress (generous) test doctor looked at the results and said “these results look good I don’t think it’s your heart I think it’s muscular, its good that at 28 you can make it the full 12 mins” (or something like that) I said “I was 99.9% sure it wasn’t my heart when this all started” and he said “well I can’t say i’m 100% certain but probably 99.95% sure”
For those that haven’t done one (I hadn’t) A cardio stress test consists of going into a room with a treadmill and a tech (who is probably a nurse) take off your shirt and have an ECG (electrody goodness) hooked up to you to get a base reading, they also take your blood pressure. After the tech asks questions to establish history, then the doctor comes in and asks the same questions. Then they put you on the tread mill and start at 2km/h (SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW) and every 3mins they increment the speed and incline and stop at 12mins.
Fun times. I love spending 170 to be told its not my heart which I knew before I went to the doctor the first time!
In other news… stuff happens.
I returned to the doctor yesterday and he checked the results of my last lot of tests yay no hepatitis or HIV and its not lupis. The doc gave me a referral to a Cardiologist and a haemotologist for stuff but the referral required him to print a page with referral info plus 13 page (single sided) patient history for each one, he signed the last page then gave it to someone else to fax all 14 pages. To me this seems like a waste of time and paper, why not send the history and referral electronically and fax a cover page with a signature if required, it would be faster, more efficient and less wasteful. Seems dumb the way it is. Amongst other things the doctor was unhappy with my blood pressure but happy I had lost 4kg in 4 weeks.
Last weekend I went to brisbane for soundwave (music festival) it was my first festival and it was a great deal of fun. In the future if attending festivals I will make sure to not loose my friends because finding them is difficult and its better to rock out with company. On the sunday we walked around Brissy a lot and it was highly enjoyable I also went for my first swim in 2years or so, before heading back to coffs at 7 or 8pm damn I was tired when I got home.
Month of no drinking is over time to get on it!
So my month of no booze is going well, this weekend will be a trial though, going to Brisbane for Soundwave with some friends (which should be awesome and amazing) but booze and festivals apparently go hand in hand.
I joined a new gym on Tuesday so get a new program sorted out on wed this should be interesting. The new gym is closer to work but seems to have less equipment than the old one, It has air con oh glorious air con how much nicer it is to work out with you cooling the place down.
Saw 127 hours on Tuesday with raina I enjoyed it and laughed when she got squeamish, movie was good and James Franco is awesome. Laughed a fair bit at the.movie despite how sad it is.
Android 2.2 was finally released for my phone last ark yay
Found this video today and it made me laugh. Your lungs on What Marijuana Leaves In Your Lungs (VIDEO)
I’ve decided to stop drinking for the month of Feb (shortest I know). Friday night was odd because I am so used to knocking back a few drinks while I do what ever before going out, and I didn’t have any drinks before going out with some mates. Also went out on sat night and did a heap of dancing both friday and sat night. Good times all while sobre. I dance worse sobre than when drunk which is saying something.
So work is still very work like and I still would rather not go each day button well. I have decided to take a break from booze for a month (Feb the shortest month) should save me some cash in doing so. Going to the pub last night and not drinking felt odd.
stuff is good

Just grabbed the Wordpress app for Android and thought I might post using it yay!
It has been a while since I posted her and stuff has happened I watched lots more tv, lots of movies bought lots of games and dvds and only played a few. made some new friends and unfortunately and sadly lost some existing ones.
I’ve changed a little too thanks (its their fault) to others I dance (being generous), I walk more, I drink more, I have a new car, still hate work, sometimes cook uhh and stuff
that will do for now I think
Stuff its what I been doing. Some of the stuff I been doing includes watching tv shows, I recently finished northern exposure, the wire and one or two other shows. I recently started watching numb3rs and have been enjoying it.
Drinking is more stuff I been doing and spending time with mates..that is good stuff. Went Go karting on sat and bowling…the two shouldn’t be done on the same day my shoulders are telling me
So this is an update. Been a little while since I posted one, I been doing stuff, and things. That is all
Last week on wednesday night I went with Raina to see Transformers 2, it was ok. Longer than the first and more explosions than you can poke a stick at and more stupid slomo michael fucking bay shit than should ever be in a movie. The plot was kinda lame and it wasn’t nearly as good as the first one.. although Megan Fox was not bad too look at.
Why oh Why did someone during the making of this film not stop and say “We are depicting infantary fighting giant fucking robots…this is stupid even if they are special forces” Oh and a huge amount of product placement in this one even more than the last I think.
Altogether I give it a 2 thumbs up.
