The stupid thing about me staying up so late is that I end up writing a dumbass post about nothing every night. Nobody wants to read this, I don't want to read this. I end up private-tizing them. Meh, oh well.
Onward to useless jargon...
So, maybe you have or maybe you haven't heard of 43 Things. Either way, GO THERE!
fo real.
Its way cool. You surf through the different "things" and then adopt the goals and make a list of things you want to do with your life. When you stumble upon something you've already done you can click the "I've Done This!" button and it saves it to your profile as something you have done. You can even write entries about doing the things you've done. Then people can go through and click your profile and see the things you've done, the things you want to do, and your entries and then "Cheer" (which in xanga-terms would be to give eProps to) them or subscribe to them. Its totally rad. The hard part is ordering your list, I know I definitely want to do all the things on my list, I just don't know what order to put them in.
And no, I won't tell you my name. Everyone's gotta have their secrets, right?
continue useless jargon...
Another amazing site is HERE. This site is called Post Secret. It is from the group art project book by the same name.

I found the book at B&N as cassi dragged me away from the fantasy section and into some other section of the store I've never been to. It was just sittin there, the cover is a brown paper bag with Post Secret on it and an address. I read it for about 30 seconds then deliberately walked to the front of the store and purchased it. It was my kind of book.
The story goes, some guy named Frank- a business man with not prior art trainer or experience, decided to create a group art project that would be hung up in a local gallery. He started by taking white/blank postcards and putting some instructions on them.
"You are invited to partake in a group art project by contributing a secret written on a homemade post card.
be simple be brief be creative
try to make the secret something you've never told anyone before."
or something along those lines (the books upstairs, you don't honestly expect me to go get it, do you?) Anyways, the book is filled with secrets. Its amazing. Everyone who sees the book falls in love with it. It has sad secrets, happy secrets, awkward secrets, scary secrets, and alot of secrets that you can relate to. It's definitely amazing. If you know me and see me in real like often ask me to show it to you. I will.
Alright, I'll go to sleep. But unfortunately there may be a post of this caliber tomorrow at 3 am when I'm feeling delusional and illiterate.
