Engraved Objects

Lurking online is like mining for precious stones. You can hack at rock for a month for naught, but one day you would hit a diamond and all that time spent became vindicated instantly.

Because beyond that drab talk there are people as brilliant as any gem. People that would reply with what you expected and more.

People that were as brutal in their put downs as they were admirable in their genius.

The Spray Paint Test

· · ·

in hardware and paint stores people spray a bit from the can before buying it, just to see the color and how it comes out

some of those spots got covered in names, tags and layers of paint over the years. the floor around the shelf turned into graffiti nobody planned

now more stores keep the cans locked in cases, so these spots are getting rare
