Todays Topics: Posters don't Lie and a Lost Art

today was an interesting day. I saw a cool thing and noticed something I miss kinda. So anyway, we notice my friend sitting there and we were gonna do homework so we joined him. In front of him, in an empty pudding container was an apple core. Boring, or is it? So anyway, this friend said that he was disapointed (or something like that) with safeway, the last two apples he had had had worms tracks in them. (sorry bout that 3 hads, it makes sence but im not sure if its proper english(sorry it's 'it's' not 'its')). Anyway, this story is betting interesting eh? so it turns out that this very apple in the pudding container in front of me contains a rare specimen of an apple worm. A real live worm that lives in an apple. Just like very primary and elementary school poster out there. After some minutes, the worm desided to wander around a bit, it was kinda cool, and he had some sort of spider web like object attaching it to the apple or anything else. The story ends when the worm was thrown in the garbage with the core and container.
Next topic, graffiti. Remeber back in the good old days that in bathroom stalls, you could almost always find a slightly humurous lymerick or joke? Now that i think about it, im not sure how long is been since ive seen some good graffiti in a stall. I remeber one stall in Grant MacEwen college that only contained the words "Bad Boy B" (or something very similar). What is cool or interesting or funny about that? Another graffiti "fad" if you will is the use of stenciles. Whether it be robo cop, 50s advertising man, or George Dubya. (Yes i do realize the last "sentence" was not accually one.) I have to admit that the stencile do look cool, but so does "free-can" stuff to. I havnt seen some good "free-can" graffiti in a while. Now maybe it is the fact i live in Edmonton and not a ghetto, but im not sure. Im not sure what im saying or where im going with this, but there should be a balance of stencil and "free-can" "art". Anyone can use a stencil, but it takes a steady hand and a good eye to do the "free-can" stuff. anyway, ive rambled on enough, enjoy
