I downloaded SQL Server 2008 and can't seem to find SQL Profiler anywhere.
I believe I installed the SQL Server Enterprise Express/trial version?
I guess it was Express and not Enterprise after all right?

Click Start, point to Programs, click Microsoft SQL Server 20xx (your version), click Performance Tools, and then click SQL Server Profiler.
A new hope: The Extended Events (XE) XE will replace the SQL Profiler in the future versions. By the moment, SQL Server includes Profiler and XE. The XEs is a feature included in SQL Server 2008. It is a lighter option that consumes less resources than the Profiler.
SQL profiler is a GUI tool in Microsoft SQL Server relational database management system that allows us to monitor, analyze, troubleshoot, re-create, and trace the problems of SQL databases and their environments. It was first introduced in the SQL Server 2000 version.
first get the profiler Exe from: http://expressprofiler.codeplex.com
then you can add it simply to the Management studio:
Tools -> External tools... ->
a- locate the exe file on your disk (If installed, it's typically C:\Program Files (x86)\ExpressProfiler\ExpressProfiler.exe)
b- give it a name e.g. Express Profiler
that's it :) you have your Profiler with your sql express edition

SQL Server Express does not come with profiler, but you can use SQL Server 2005/2008 Express Profiler instead.
