I just wish that the dickhead who ran up and down every car in the street the other night, and caused several people thousands of dollars worth of damage, had touched the love space before he got pissed.

Of course as I type this it occurs to me that some people would consider what I call art vandalism as well - but street art makes me smile, and think. The stomped cars makes me annoyed and have to fuck around with insurance companies.
