Star Wars:
I have loved Star Wars for a long time, longer than I can remember. Of course I do have a bad memory, but I know it has been a long time. In this area I will talk about random Star Wars Facts. Anyone who know nothing about Star Wars, enjoy learning.
Coming Soon: I actually don't know anything worth mention that is coming out soon.
So, the Star Wars saga is great. I am so glad that all the movies are finished, but I can't help being sad that there will be no more movies to look forward to. Oh well. I have often been asked in what order the movies should be viewed. If you ever decide to watch all of the movies in a specific order, I would say to watch them from Episodes 1 to 6. However, if you only have time for a few of them, I would recomend Revenge of the Sith followed by Return of the Jedi. They are a good combo, one gets to see Anakin fall for Palpatines lies while Luke is smarter and does not fall for similar lies. Great stuff. Have fun with your Star Wars adventures.
Another noteable time waster that has come out is Star Wars: BattleFront II. This game is the sequel to the best selling Star Wars game of all time. I can not even begin to recap the endless hours I have spent blowing up droids and shooting imperials. "Grenade, Grenade!" is one of the game phrases that I can not get enough of. The new Battlefront is ten times better than the first. The music is better, the voice phrases are better, just overall betterness. I love playing as jedi, and as general heroes or villans. If you ever get a chance to play/watch, I would suggest it. It is a worthwhile experience.
I am also excited about Star Wars:An Empire at War, a computer game that is coming out next month. I am not sure I will buy it, but it looks good. I tried to dowload a demo, and after six hours it finished and didn't work, I was a bit perturbed.
Trivia of the day:

Info for Today:
My brain:
Yeah, so the summer of '04 I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. But unfortunatly, the bad news didn't stop there. The tumor was located in my brain stem. You can guess how excited I was to have brain surgery a couple weeks after I was diagnosed. I had two brain surgeries in two weeks. Good times (not really,no). I must say that I am not a big fan of the headaches and the constant pain in the back of my head. I found out that the divit I have in the back of my head is actually the spot where they permanetly removed part of my skull. Yeah. It is only a shaved off part (i.e-there is not a hole in my head), but anoying none-the-less. My deepest sympathies to all the people who have worse problems than I. I salute all of them.
So here are some links to different brain related stuff. I am still working on this section, so only two of the links work. Maybe I should add electronic pictures of my heart. Hmm... I will also see what I can do to add a picture of the back of my head after surgeries. Gross, but interesting. Enjoy:
