They were pretty ghettorific and pale white. I can't even remember either of their first names. I knew one in 9th grade and another in like 11th or 12th. They'd tag all their shit "casper". It was like ghetto white trash. I think they were bused in from one of the podunk little towns outside of the city (look up Graham, WA lol horrible place).

Yeah, I think that's called a "tag name." Those were big in the 90s, we used to use permanent markers to tag trucks and walls. I could never come up with a good tag name, but my uncle had a nice one, "dosey" or something, and was a good artist, too. I'm sure it's all been whitewashed by now.

Yea, I know it's a tag name. But it just was a strange one and seemed fairly popular.
Also fuck tagging with markers and shit. I am all for street art, but like tagging shit with a fucking marker is just petty vandalism with no artistic merit.

We were literally like 10 fucking years old. My uncle went on to spray paint a bit later on, but by then I was no longer into it. He used to collect these magazines with spray paint "street art." which was often noticeable on the streets and trains of New York at that time.
But just because some tags look nice and have "artisic merit" doesn't mean it's not vandalism. Everyone originally started with a marker. For some it was just a hobby, while others became Banskies.

Oh yea, it is vandalism if it isn't your property, but if there is some artistic merit to it then at least it isn't petty.

There's no real privacy on the net, if you post something you should do it in the knowledge people can and will save it and distribute it. It goes for here and it goes for Tinder.
Lake effect snow is scary. Buffalo, which is only one hour west of here just set an all time US record for snowfall in 24 hours with 72 inches. They're expecting another 2-3 feet tonight-tomorrow and some suburbs have reported over 7 feet so far. People's roofs are collapsing and the entire thruway from Rochester through Buffalo down to the PA border is closed with hundreds of cars trapped on it. Crazy. You never really think of snowfall causing so much damage. I think 8 people have died as of this morning.

Some of the photos coming out of Buffalo are fucking nanners:
I'd imagine Taylin is having a ball, though!

We actually don't even have an inch. They only predicted 2-3 inches tonight.
