Will Frank Warren Spill His Secrets? Bring Your Questions for the “PostSecret” Guy from Freakonomics Blog (hosted by New York Times) With permission from Warren, a French version of PostSecret was launched in October 2007 under the name "PostSecretFrance". That was enough to intrigue me. Every year my school library does a "Blind Date with A Book" challenge around Valentine's Day and this is the first time that I actually parcipated. I don't know about you, but that hook was too good to pass up. More 'PostSecrets' Revealed, in Book Form". National Public Radio. 2005-12-10 . Retrieved 2011-12-16. After browsing the book a bit on the sale section of National Bookstore, I impulsively decided to own a copy of it. The problem then was I didn't bring enough cash with me and the worst part was, they don't allow debit! And since it was already closing time, my friend suggested to have the book reserved and the saleslady agreed to do so. On my lunch break the following day, I bought the book (not caring that it is worth a pair of shoes or an ok pair of jeans) and read the whole thing after my officemate did. I would have to say it is one of the best compilations I have ever come across in my entire life. It is inspiring. It made me more human. It made me realize that despite of the pain that I experienced--and is experiencing, I have never felt more human and that life is still beautiful.

My favourite part about working at Lego Land is destroying all of the buildings that little kids create." In 6th grade I read something about, father's molesting their daughters. So, I stopped hugging my dad for over a year. I love my father. I can't imagine how much I hurt him." Frank Warren has spent forty years working with boxing's most colourful and controversial characters. In his long-awaited autobiography, he reflects on the battles he had to win to reach the top and remain there, not least the battle to stay alive after he was shot at point-blank range in an attempted assassination in 1989. Frank Warren has compiled his secret postcards into several volumes now but this book was my first experience with them. My son gave it to me for Christmas - a friend recommended it to him and he knew this was something I would find intriguing. I did! I loved it. This book is geared toward sharing the secrets of younger people. Not sure exactly how he knew the senders age group but I can see from the photo and topics that he might have made a fairly accurate guess.But the book isn't one of the larger PostSecret books are there are some truly great secrets within. Ones that are strange, funny, sad and most importantly specific. The more specific a secret, the more meaningful it is when it touches a part of us. This was my first PostSecret book and I just had to get more once I finished this one. I really loved it. I am actually thinking of startin to send my own post cards to PostSecret. This book made me feel really think. For some reason, My Secret made me want to go on some huge Art spree and just do whatever makes me happy. There is also an art-project called SecretumDoor, [21] where one can find original secrets of 2005, both in Russian and English. I've seen bits of the books before, and articles about it, but this was the first of the books that I've read all the way through and really took some time with. For some reason it reminded me of the film "Amelie" - one of my all time favorites. From August 3, 2015 to September 2017, an exhibit [18] at the National Postal Museum features more than 500 postcards submitted to PostSecret.

You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything -- as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. Be brief. Be legible. Be creative. I've been listening to music I normally wouldn't (Jazz, Norah Jones), reading books I definitley wouldn't usually (Watchmen, Scanwich, GirlLand), and all around trying to make myself happy rather than others. I seem to be pretty selfless sometimes which can put me in bad situations. The second-to-worst PostSecret book. The term for most of these secrets today is "vaguebooking." Other secrets are targeted at a single person, as if the creator were more interested in shaming that one person rather than bearing their soul. Some aren't even secrets so much as they are, "Look at me!" statements or competitive introversion.

Boxing faces a fight for its soul

With cameo appearances from Frank Sinatra, Luciano Pavarotti, Pink Floyd and the Philadelphia mafia, Frank and Fearless is the unflinchingly candid and hard-hitting memoir of Britain's most famous and influential boxing promoter. Puente, Maria (March 14, 2006). "Blogger gives dark secrets the first-class treatment". USA Today. USA Today . Retrieved 2011-11-11. However, Warren seems not to favour too many people and the score-settling escalates to industrial levels akin to Father Ted’s Golden Cleric acceptance speech. Boxing promoter rivals, especially father and son Barry and Eddie Hearn (“Eddie’s hardly had to do it the hard way”), are shown no mercy. Neither are boxers Barry McGuigan (“another who disappointed me”) and Chris Eubank, whose reputation Warren destroys with one hideous anecdote, while Frank Bruno’s ex-wife Laura is “an absolute pain”.
