I actually agree with the sentiment, but I wouldn't even know about the painting if it weren't for computers. It's easy to complain about technology, and even easier to use technology to do it. What’s up with your extremist mind?

Whether ironic or not, what I like about wall paintings is that they bring some thoughts to the streets, rather than only shops, cars and people. Whether or not I agree with the 'message' of the wall painting (if there's any) is secondary to me. Sometimes I think about these 'messages' and sometimes I don't. It's all part of the game. Yet I like the invitation to think, dream and reflect which the wall poetry/art gives me, whether or not I accept that particular invitation. Fidel, ‘extrimist mind’ seems hugely exaggerated to me.

What's up with your extremist mind? In any case if you look close you'll notice that the picture itself looks like it was drawn with corel or some other software doesn't it? isn't that ironic Alanis in plano? It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid, It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought ... it figures. Gee I didn’t find it ironic.

Probably taken with a digital camera, perhaps attached to a cell phone?

That is an interesting picture. To me, it looks like the front cover of a book. Someone should write it.

I like poetry anywhere since I am a poet. I celebrate the hoi polloi. I like wall paintings too. I like poetry anywhere since I am a poet. I celebrate the hoi polloi.
