Anyone else read this blog? http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

It's pretty cool. The concept is that people send in post cards decorated to illustrate a secret they've been keeping from everyone. It's anonymous, and the idea is to let people get things off their chest.

I've followed it for over a year now, and sometimes the secrets are wierd, sometimes they're gross. Sometimes they don't make sense, sometimes they're heart breaking, sometimes they piss me off. But they are always strangely mesmerizing.

They've now published a couple books of them. And there is a book signing by the blog administrator/book compiler tonight in Grapevine, TX at Grapevine Mills Mall at the Books-a-Million store. There's also a signing in Austin on Saturday night I think.

I check out the new secrets every Sunday with my caffeine.
It can be touching or heartbreaking sometimes.

Aww crappit! I'm 10 minutes from there, but didn't see that until just now.

If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all.
