PostSecret

My secret:

Ha! I'm not telling!
To quote Bono: "They say a secret is something you tell one other person; So I’m telling you... child" PostSecret is a blog, a project, and a very interesting idea I wish I had thought of first. The site invites you to send a 4x6 postcard in with a secret you haven't shared with anyone else anonymously. The secrets will be posted on the site. It's a bit voyeuristic to be reading others secrets from the privacy of my computer -- even though it's quite public. Maybe those that are sharing their secrets are voyeurs as well -- or maybe they just want to tell someone, so they're telling the world. Some of the secrets that are shared are quite melancholy, such as:
  • "I haven't spoken to my dad in 10 years ... and it kills me everyday."
  • "I liked myself better as a boy."
  • "I started shooting heroin again."
  • "I wish I was the other twin."
  • "I'm in love with Sam ... but I can't tell him because I am terrified of rejection."
    • And there are more ... there are also some funny ones.

    Civil disobedience is called for

    In an act of desperation, Tim DeCristopher chose civil disobedience to disrupt the bidding process that saw 149,000 acres of public land leased off to oil companies in Utah. The lease of the land to oil companies, to allow drilling, has been contested by many who wish to preserve the pristine land, located near Arches National Park, the White River, the greater Desolation Canyon region, Labyrinth Canyon, the benches east of Canyonlands National Park, Nine Mile Canyon, the Book Cliffs and the Deep Creek Mountains. It is one of the final sell-off by the dying Bush administration. DeCristopher showed at the auction, registered as a bidder, and started bidding -- and winning -- with no intention of purchasing or paying for the auctions he won. Way to go dude! You're a hero!
