Graffiti

I know I have been slacking on my post-per-day but I have been busy as you probably assume. 
I have been thinking about changing the 'Random' quote at the top to something like 'blogging for the sake of it' b/c honestly I just blog so people can see the funny/weird/political/whatever stuff that I find on the 'internets'. 
For your viewing pleasure today we have a clip that is just under 2 minutes long from the ol'stand-by, YouTube.com.  It is a scene from the Madrid Metro where a group (notice i didn't say gang) of about 10 people bombing a 3 train cars in less then a minute and a half.  Let me fess up foremost and say that I love graffiti.  I used to dabble a little when I was younger but now can't really take the risk.  Having been to Amsterdam a couple of times I can say that they have a great way of managing graffiti.  They employ artists to paint scaffolding, abandon buildings, and other unsightly places around the city.  It encourages artist talent and takes the illegal part of it out.  Graffiti artist respect eachothers' art and will not deface it.  It is a great way for city kids to make some extra cash as well.  Check out the vid.
