Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating.
A friend of mine at work pointed me in the direction of Wooster Collective today after a discussion about graffiti and stenciling. Now, i've always loved graffiti, even though i'll never be ballsy enough to ever try and do it (except for the stairs on Championship night last year, which they did finally scrub off. bastards. side note: why did we actually win that game? in part it was because i had already purchased the two tiny baby blue cans of spray paint and was ready to rock and/or roll.)
And precluding the disclaimer about whining that comes with this blog, i had a really shitty weekend. I worked a lot, couldn't sleep, listened to a lot of interpol, felt really sad, worried about school, jobs, the boy that never loved me, and you know, all the traditional emo factors. So yeah. Good times. But i got home from work today and started looking through Wooster, which linked to other photo blog/whatever sites, and found amazing things like this: You Are Beautiful.
There's something that barrett has said about tattooing before, that he enjoys them so much because he feels "it's just honest." He brought that up again today when we were talking about graffiti. And maybe that's why i like it so much. It's bold and colorful and someone took the time -- and the risk -- to put a small creative vision up for more than one person to see, be it to brag or share or forwhatever reason. It's kind of along the same veins of the postsecret project -- it's so popular because it's so honest, and it feels good to know that someone else thinks the same thing. It's visual proof that you're not alone.
And it's hard to feel so bad about yourself when you're looking at pictures of iPod ads with skulls and simple scrawlings about anything.
It just makes me feel good. So i posted a few in case someone else might like one too.
