Beautiful Vandalism

I apologize for my overuse of oxymoronic sentences as my topics of late.Ive been reading this book called "Oxymoronica",and it's been great so far.So life changing quotes in there that raised an eyebrow for me,or made me smile despite my bunkmates staring.Because really,that's what great books do to you,they make the world around you vanish.

Anyway,regarding the topic of this entry.Ive been thinking for a very long time to do it already,ever since i saw the "Best of You" video by the Foo Fighters.In the video,there's a scene where Dave Grohl goes up and down this red corridor,with angry words scribbled all over and walls.Then there's another with the drummer before another wall,and the same words written in a circular shape,which i thought was kinda neat.

Then there was the time(THE time),when i went to her estate and had lunch at this cafe called "Gone Fishing".A great little cafe i'd say,with lots of scribbling on the walls everywhere.Apparently the owner of the cafe,allows the customers to write anything on the wall.It started with simple comments regarding the food,or the drinks and stuff.Then people started drawing and writing non-sensical stuff all over the place.I,as a avid fan of vandalism,wrote "Hey,dont vandalise" on one of the walls.Haha,i know the irony of it all.But it was all for the fun of it.

Anyway,i was kinda inspired to do the same with my wall,but was too afraid to simply write things on my wall.I mean,what if things go awfully wrong?I'd have to repaint the whole room myself,and that's a bloody hassel i cannot afford.

So ive decided to write stuff on boards,paper ones of course.Ive sliced them up and ive been writing stuff on them all afternoons.Song lyrics,mainly.And so far it's been looking great,getting all pumped and excited about it indeed.

So far ive written these songs:

1)Even So by Rachael Yamagata
2)Breathing by LifeHouse
3)Fix You by Coldplay
4)Gravity by John Mayer Trio
5)Life in Mono by Mono
6)Dirty Little Secrets by Sarah Mclachlan
7)Tiny Vessels by Deathcab Cutie
8)Foolish Games by Jewel
9)Name by Goo Goo Dolls
10)Delicate by Damien Rice
11)Blue by Chantal Kreviazuk
12)Caramel by Suzanne Vega
13)Across the Universe by Fiona Apple
14)Hang by Matchbox Twenty
15)This Year's Love by David Gray

Those songs left me with an aching back and sore fingers.But it's all going to be worth it once i get everything onto the wall.My ultimate art,the beautiful vandalism.
