Needless to say the staff was deeply intrigued by my shenanigans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I then promptly flashed the peace sign and went right back to sleep, aware only of how dangerously heavy my heartbeat was (something to do with how I sleep, medical jargon) and the fact that I had yet again made a complete fool of myself for entertainment purposes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really need to start charging for this kind of thing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4131692758367795694-4720579716035347298?l=onlymakesmestranger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://onlymakesmestranger.blogspot.com/feeds/4720579716035347298/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://onlymakesmestranger.blogspot.com/2009/03/rick-astley-and-sleeping-on-benches-at.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4131692758367795694/posts/default/4720579716035347298'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4131692758367795694/posts/default/4720579716035347298'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://onlymakesmestranger.blogspot.com/2009/03/rick-astley-and-sleeping-on-benches-at.html' title='Rick Astley and sleeping on benches at sonic'/><author><name>Paul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11737816872948020507</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m5tRG1BU-00/Sbh4tmURuFI/AAAAAAAAAAc/c6nQYWNuP9s/S220/n1117620246_30184281_6744.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131692758367795694.post-2899494246499136124</id><published>2009-03-11T19:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-11T20:01:03.608-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ok for real this time</title><content type='html'>So that first post was crap and I'm going to make a legitimate entry on this thing.  At the moment I'm contemplating the paradox of subscribing to my own RSS Feed (and then being annoyed when there are no new updates).  Initially I wondered to myself "what will I put on this blog?" and then decided I would simply allow for any event of note or particular moments of interest to appear for me to make entries, anything from seeing an asteroid to musings on the motes of dust in the air, life's fun that way. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I doubt at this point in writing I'll have more than 1-2 readers tops but I'm not exactly pushing for a Newberry with this thing (note : if thats not an actual writing prize someone let me know)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4131692758367795694-2899494246499136124?l=onlymakesmestranger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://onlymakesmestranger.blogspot.com/feeds/2899494246499136124/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://onlymakesmestranger.blogspot.com/2009/03/ok-for-real-this-time.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4131692758367795694/posts/default/2899494246499136124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4131692758367795694/posts/default/2899494246499136124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://onlymakesmestranger.blogspot.com/2009/03/ok-for-real-this-time.html' title='Ok for real this time'/><author><name>Paul</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11737816872948020507</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_m5tRG1BU-00/Sbh4tmURuFI/AAAAAAAAAAc/c6nQYWNuP9s/S220/n1117620246_30184281_6744.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131692758367795694.post-2476004452655003318</id><published>2009-03-11T19:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-11T19:56:09.847-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My Blog..</title><content type='html'>Well I've given into temptation here and made a blog of my own.
