postsecret

i spotted postsecret an age ago on floating world views and was instantly hooked...
people have some really amazing stuff going on in their lives! some quite horrific, some laughable and some down right surprising.  For a gen X Yer who thinks nothing can surprise her...for some reason postsecret keeps me guessing and wondering.
So I decided to do my own postsecret card...no shocking or hideous secrets here! I am addicted to other peoples secrets.
I have always been open to and aware of my voyeuristic tendencies - i once bruised my eye ball as i launched at the peep hole in my door, trying to get a better view of the neighbours.

The only real secret I have is that I'm a little jacked off at myself for not having come up with this ingenious postsecret project first - what a fascinating way to learn more about the other crazies in this world, a way for people to get things off their chest by sending them out into the essentially anonymous cyber stratosphere and a way for me to avoid eyeball bruising but still get to peep into other peoples lives.

instrumental damage

just a friendly word of advice to all tambourine manufacturers or those considering diving into the profession - it wouldnt hurt if you could possibly put some kind of warning on your instruments, something like, oh i dont know...'WARNING; THIS BRIGHT AND SEDUCTIVE INSTRUMENT MAY CAUSE SEVERE BRUISING TO PARTS OF YOUR BODY IF STRUCK RAPIDLY AND JOYOUSLY AGAINST IT' or simply 'NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF BODY NUMBING SUBSTANCES; IS LIKELY TO CAUSE PAINFUL DAMAGE AND/OR SKIN DISCOLOURATION AS A RESULT OF BRUISING'...or perhaps 'WARNING; JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE POSSESSION OF THIS INSTRUMENT DOES NOT MAKE YOU ONE OF THE BANGLES! PLEASE USE IT WISELY - AVOID STRIKING YOUR HIP, THIGH, BUTTOCKS AND OTHER HAND REPEATEDLY AND FEROCIOUSLY FOR ANY EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME'
oh and you chu hi makers...well you should DEFINITELY be putting some kinda warning on your cans. you must be very aware by now that your product turns brains to paper.

go go tokyo

it is a well established fact that ones second language skills are enhanced when under the influence of certain intoxicants. we hit the streets of tokyo last night just to test the theory once more.
yep its on the money our japanese was on fire - theory proven. here is the photo proof. 1. kickin it wit the homes 2. warming up in a cosy little karaoke box 3. g: 'heeeeyyy where did my drink go?' me: 'aaahhh i dunno maybe that japanese guy took it' 4. photo op with our friendly karaoke host with whom i somehow (due to above mentioned theory) successfully ordered copious rounds of drinks for the 7 of us, negotiated extra time when there seemed to be too many good tunes and not enough time to sing them...although we are still waiting for the pizza we ordered  5. note the tambourine...lets just say it stuck by us through thick and thin and is now on its way with its blue twin to a land down under  6. madonna madness  7. the people you meet  8. in sync - the groovy chicks doing what they do best - grooving  9.  smells like  beer & spirits  10. me and bunny chan - her beer soaked bunny ears were a hit on the streets gaining all kinds of attention and offers
