URGENT :: DREAMPOSTCARDS

***** URGENT HELP REQUEST ******

i love postsecret.com [a place where people anonymously send their deepest, darkest secrets].

i want to make a version [positive] of that webpage where people mail me their secret dreams and ambitions: what they would love to do with their life if there were no restrictions--their biggest dreams.

to start: i will "hide" postcards with my address, postage and instructions around new zealand. but hopefully i'll get unsolicited cards once the word gets around.

FROME YOU, i need a good name....

things like secretdream and dreampost.com are taken.... but what do you think about dreampostcards.com ??? it's available.

* do you have a better name?

* can you improve upon this project somehow?

i hope to start hiding postcards within 48 hours.

frozen coke

frozen coke reminds me of home. i had a frozen coke [slash frozen yogurt] maker that got a lot of use. it had a santa bear on it [side track].

i also used to frequent >the big boy< a drive-thru-only restaurant, which would serve me a frozen coke, fries and a hamburger flying style [burger prepared in a "sandwich maker" so the edges were sealed--perfect for pilots]

today i saw an ad for f-coke and wanted one so i could be home. sadly, the close mcdonalds didn't sell it, so i had to walk 267 steps to the far mcdonalds.

i made sure to buy the biggest size and walk back to the close mcdonalds so it could see me enjoying my childhood.
