links ahoy

I've always loved reading about other peoples lives. something about being able to sympathize, disagree or escape from my own life. how lovely. I'd like to share a couple reads for those days where you need a pick me up. Sometimes, you'll find you're not alone.

Read into people's past: http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/mis/
this is the missed connections ads for toronto's craigslist. for those that don't know how it works, it's an ad you post up to express the regret of having not talk to someone (usually a stranger)when you were out. now you hope they read the and are able to reconnect with you. some of it's sad, some silly. funny how so many people can be so hopeful.

read about the present: http://www.fmylife.com/
this site is a twitter-like design where people can post a little blurb about something that's happened to them. they end their story with FML, which stands for fuck my life. funny, awkward, bad it's all there. out of the 3 links i'm posting, this is most recommended to view because most of it is funny.

The future's not certain: http://www.futureme.org/
this site isn't focused on other people, it's focused on you. the way it works: you can send yourself an email message from the future by writing it today and postmarking when you want it sent. it's a good idea especially if you want to write down your goals and have them done by a certain time.

on another note, if you've read the papers about the trouble ticketmaster's heading into, people are finally doing something about it. some lawyers are launching a class action suit against ticketmaster. apparently all those that have purchased tix from feb 9th 2007 onwards can be apart of it. i'm not sure as to the specific criteria, but it's worth checking out cuz if the suit wins, the compensations will be worth it. visit: http://www.ticketmasterclassaction.com/ for more details

also, here are some new songs from TAI, they're meh...
Tokyo Bay- from the vinyl edition of FTAB (i think):
