I've been putting it off since I was born, which, by the way, was on December 18, 2006. Please locate your calendars and make note of it just in case I become world famous. I joke. Now, where was I... Oh yes... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mBLlK7tkSrc/Rhho9ka4OvI/AAAAAAAAAA0/9Yyn6lwEuGY/s1600-h/hiro_lake.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050902389053733618" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mBLlK7tkSrc/Rhho9ka4OvI/AAAAAAAAAA0/9Yyn6lwEuGY/s200/hiro_lake.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;So today, I got my two companions to finally leave me alone: the feminine of the two (although I believe the male has latent homosexual desires tied to watching marathon runs of Bravo's most popular shows) is studying on one laptop, while her male counterpart attempts to show me how much of an alpha male he is by watching NBA basketball while reading Yahoo! Sports posts on another laptop. Thank goodness I have a laptop of my own!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Strange these beings we call 'humans'! Nonetheless, they feed and take care of me. In exchange, I stay cute and provide them tidbits of &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mBLlK7tkSrc/RhhlZEa4OqI/AAAAAAAAAAM/FmrLgXPRrqg/s1600-h/hiro_sonic.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;wisdom by occasionally putting smiles on their chubby, rubbery faces. With the world as it stands, I guess you cannot ask for anything more. It is what I do best. After all, I am part of a long line of entertainers, a breed known to have served royalty, the Welsh Pembroke Corgi. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;No, no, no. Please do not get up. You may remain seated. I am your humble servant... But I do appreciate the gesture!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;From time to time, please check back for future entries. I promise to provide new posts as regularly as possible. I hope they provide some insight into my own life and perhaps a little insight into your own through contrast and comparison. Maybe it will both give us a better understanding of why we are here. Take care.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4591348776743741555-4830190009207962055?l=hirodog.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hirodog.blogspot.com/feeds/4830190009207962055/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4591348776743741555&amp;postID=4830190009207962055' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4591348776743741555/posts/default/4830190009207962055'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4591348776743741555/posts/default/4830190009207962055'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hirodog.blogspot.com/2007/04/my-first-ever-entry.html' title='My First Ever Entry!'/><author><name>Hiro</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07613683067734024289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06580596938212702141'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mBLlK7tkSrc/Rhho9ka4OvI/AAAAAAAAAA0/9Yyn6lwEuGY/s72-c/hiro_lake.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
