Don't know if anyone else has this issue, but I find it difficult to feel a part of many groups at Eons, because the people who have become friends already talk only to each other, or spend their words shamelessly flirting with new members of the opposite sex in order to have a "following". Maybe I do belong only in the weird me group because I don't socialize that way, but this group seems to have less interaction with each other, and more random postings that get few, if any, replies.

So I guess I need to know if I actually belong at Eons, and how, short of replying on the hundreds of new but short-lived threads every day, to feel a part of this place.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) - A 39-year-old Southern California man has been arrested for misdemeanor child annoyance after allegedly paying a teenager $31 to spit in his face. The Ventura County Sheriff's Department says Charles Hersel was arrested Wednesday in a sting operation at a mall in Thousand Oaks. He's free from jail pending a court hearing.

"misdemeanor child annoyance"(?) "child annoyance"(?)
What the hell...it was in California,right? Just another day at the mall in California. $31(?) I need to introduce that guy to some of the teenagers in my neighborhood. I'll bet they would spit in his face for free. A "sting operation"...what the hell? They send an undercover cop out to the mall and he walks around to every odd looking guy and says "spit in your face for $31, mister."(?)Pfft...people say they wouldn't want to live in Texas.

This is the weird group, right? This guy is hard to look at and hard to listen to, but what he says is pretty profound. Sorry, no embed code available. Click the link thingie.

I am not quite sure of the numbers yet as my buddy hasn't made the rounds with our scores-but last week was dreadful for us football pool players. There were many upsets, for example, who knew the Redskins could beat the Broncos (Denver is unraveling?)
Then there was that Steelers game-a great game for sure but did not turn out well for me (Bengals won). I am thinking I have been bumped out of first place and probably way back to around third place or so. The good news? The Colts are still undefeated and Peyton Manning always finds a way to win (he rocks). Then there was the Dallas loss, the Eagles loss, and why did I pick the Bears anyway? Still having fun though, Colts will here next Sunday to beat the Ravens...
Have a great day everyone!
