splat!

There are a lot of important things in this world that were painted on walls in bold colors and big letters. Great ideas and even cool thoughts are horribly doodled on the back of a cubicle of almost every public restroom (or on the backrest of a bus).
Someone once told me, that the world should be my classroom, and now I should add, walls, doors, backrests and even table napkins should become our blackboards.
In an effort to make sense of the reason why vandalism seemingly became the new platform for hungry artist, I decided to write this blog in favor of the underestimated talents of people who chose to remain anonymous despite the vivid fact that they potentially hold the end to ignorance.
I am not going to cite examples or even post pictures of some that I've scene. To be able to understand the thrill of reading and looking at some bizarre work of art, one must take a closer look and examine it. But if you are one of those pretentious socialite wannabes and the I-am-intelligent-there-is-no-one-else-beside-me type of person, I suggest that you stick a chalkboard to your rectum and go some place else, say, your friends anus? I'm pretty sure you can have a great discussion of how much shit should be dropped on other people to put them down.

(Stop imagining, and.... come back!)

Tomorrow when you ride a bus or use a public bathroom or walk along a squatters' area, you'll realize how big of an artist most of the underprivileged people are. Truly, talent is something that is gifted and not learned. Ideas written below a "Don't write on the wall" sign holds more meaning than those published on the newspaper. Colors and images that stain some public walls invites a refreshing thought and welcomes some weird yet hot concept. This is hyperbolically true.
