Graffiti II

Following on from my previous post, I found this piece just down the road from the last one. I think they were done by the same person. An interesting choice of colour I think.

Good or bad graffiti ?

Now some people would argue that there is no such thing as good graffiti, but I beg to differ. I agree that pointless name "tagging" and offensive gesturing have no worth in any way, however, when it provides mirth in an artistic temperament, it rocks. The photo above is , to my mind, a classic piece of inventive wit. I have always been able to identify Flemish architecture by its curves, so to highlight this in such a way is most amusing. To the passer by it is almost invisible as graffiti and strikes more as a compulsory notice than an observation. I have seen several other pieces of this work, around about, and shall endeavor to post them on here as I find them.

Immune systems rock !!

Unless you are someone who has stretched up one of your ears, this blog may have no shred of understanding to you. Otherwise, it's fascinating. I recently started to stretch up my right ear. Being fully aware of the risks in stretching too fast, I took my time getting it up to about 6mm. However, I began to notice that my ear was becoming unusually warm for this process and a little gooey, to say the least. The lubrication of the plug is your bodies way of trying to expel a foreign object and some people find this gets a bit whiffy at times. I find this with surgical steel but not with bone plugs. I decided to take the plug out for a routine clean when, to my surprise, I found half the plug eaten away. Apparently this is due to my body trying to re-absorb the bone, failing to do so and then breaking it down instead. I have since replaced the plug with a steel one and, so far, no problems. Isn't nature amazing !!
