A Must See


I have to admit, POSTSECRET is a sinful pleasure I enjoy.


The idea is brilliant, and it's not as enjoyable if you don't take the time to read the directions before you start reading the guilty confessions. The gist of it is, is that you send this guy Frank a post card to what appears to be his home address. The rules are A.) It has to be true (however I'm sure there must be an exception here or there), and B.) You haven't told anyone else yet. He posts scans of the postcard confessions every Sunday. What a great premise!

This guy doesn't have to do a thing and he lets society create itself on his blog, and the stuff people admit range from stupid, to amazing, to downright frightful. I could of sworn I saw on the news that some guy was releasing a book on all these guilty confessions, and as you scroll down, he adds tidbits about how the site is getting news attention, and how he has to delete old ones because he can't archive them all. So as time goes on they are slowly deleted, but I bet you that was him I saw on the news. People amaze me, and this site is a great proverbial dip stick into humanity. I hope you check it out and enjoy.

I would send him a postcard, but I always tell my secrets. I find it gives me clarity, and makes me feel alive. Not hiding like all these people that send him the postcards. All right, maybe I'm lying a little about the secrets thing. But if I admitted some of my deepest secrets I think they would track down this site and arrest me. But at least I know what they are, and I'm not hiding from them. That's important.

A little update for the near future: I'm thinking of creating a rap song for the introduction to my blog. I haven't finished it yet, but it's called "Ah Sugar, It's Beo." I'm also trying to think of a way so that all browsers will launch the song and my lyric track at the same time, because if they don't match up, I'll sound like even more of a dork when my raps are off beat. The Spanish Cook,..A.K.A. Beo intro is getting old to me. If the rap doesn't work, I'll think of something else, but if it gets made............................if it gets made.....................It's gonna be crazy son!

You should use the newest version of Nero and use the track editor that is built in; you can just mix the tracks into one mp3.

dav.di: your browser on your local machine controls what you use for plugins.

The easiest thing to to would be to install Quicktime Alternative (if you don't like Quicktime) and check the MIME settings to make sure that MP3 is checked on.
