The Fourth Kind

I saw this movie the other night. It was interesting. I'm not sure what to make of it. It seems like every abduction story that I ever heard. And there isn't any more evidence, in my opinion, than there ever was. It is interesting how many people claim this has happened to them. But really, it's pretty far fetched. It's not that I don't believe there can be life on other planets, in other solar systems. I'm hopeful for that, so usually believe the existence of "aliens" in the first place. However, I just don't see a reason why aliens would abduct humans, perform horrible tests on them, and then just release them back to where they came from. You'd think that after a few decades of doing this, they'd have learned everything they needed and would stop it. It just doesn't seem plausible to me that you have these sadistic aliens just torturing poor humans randomly without a reason. Just saying.

High School Classmates

I had a Facebook account from very early on. Some group I was in at the time wanted all of us to join and make a profile. I had those 11 people as "friends" for several years, and basically went to Facebook as often as I went to Myspace, which was rarely.

All of a sudden about 6 months ago, it just exploded. I had one high school classmate find me on Facebook. From that one contact, my little lonely profile suddenly grew mostly with classmates (or rather, people who claimed to have graduated with me that I have no recollection of). What I have learned so far is, there is a good reason I never stayed in touch with these people. I didn't like them then, and they haven't changed. I learned pretty quick that I was probably the only Independent among 100% Republican nut jobs.

Long story short, I have a lot of friends on Facebook now, and hide the comments of about 80% of them.

I have, however, discovered what Facebook is really all about.....GAMING. Now I'm addicted to it, and log into Facebook more than 10 times a day for Farmville and CafeWorld. I certainly don't go there to catch up on the "good ole days of High School".
