    Default Postsecret

    Well, today is Sunday, which means Postsecret has new postcards up on its site. For those of you who haven't heard of this great little site, it is a place where people mail in postcards upon which they have written a secret they have been keeping. The postcards are all different, like little works of art, some of them, and the secrets range from being hilarious, creepy, and joyful, to incredibly touching and sad. It is an interesting glimpse into the hearts of strangers, and sometimes oddly comforting. We all have our secrets!

    I think we all have secrects even ones we are scared to admit to ourselves. That site was cool...some funny some really sad.

    This is why I love to people watch.

    I saw a music video that seemed to take this idea (people were holding up signs with confessional/ secretive statements on them, standing in different locations)

    Some secrets should be kept though.

    That music video is probably the one by All American Rejects. This is what it has to say about them on the PostSecret website:

    Did The All-American Rejects Steal Your Images For Their Music Video?

    No. The band made a generous donation of $2,000 to the National Hopeline Network. They were given full permission to use PostSecrets in their MTV video.

    (To date, over $4,000 has been raised for 1-800-SUICIDE.)


    I love the website. I've been following it for a while. And I could be totally off my mark, but based on one or two of the postcards that have been displayed, I have an inkling that there may be a murderer / serial-killer using it as an anonymous outlet. Too bad they don't show the archives, or I could link to the relevant examples.

    I saw this on a "Dateline" special.It's a pretty neat idea.
