Please, please, please visit my new site (yea, I know I have too many already), Troubled Youth. To tell you what it's about, I thought I'd just rip off the entire "About" page from it, and post it here. So, here we go:

Welcome to Troubled Youth.

• About This Site
  We put up post it notes in public places. Smarmy comments, social critism, witty observations--most anything. We sign them "Troubled Youth." This website is about:
  
  1. documenting these notes
  
  
  2. trying to make it catch on



• How it Works
  The authors of this blog: post on what we've posted up.
  Readers: post (perhaps to the guestbook, we've not worked the mechanism out yet) what they've posted.
  Frequent Posters: are invited to join the blog
  Rules: We say what the post-it said, and the location, and any explanations needed.
  Pictures: might be accepted, we're thinking of a post-it photo gallery



• How it Started/Why We Do This

I, I have to admit, am a no-good punk. To cheer me up on my depressing 20th birthday, I decided to engage in some mindless vandalim. Of course, the whole floor was charged for my actions, which led to a certain amount of backlash, though thankfully none of my floormates realized it was me. I appear quite mild-mannered to the untrained eye.

A couple weeks later, however, I noticed something that irked me. Spanish Graffiti! Yes, some other graffit-er had molested one of our stalls, and went unpunished! So, I decided to get my smart-ass groove on, and graffiti under the new graffiti about un-equal treatment. But, since that would only lead to more floor charges (punishing the other people on my floor for what I had done), I decided instead to go with a post it note. So, without further ado: the very first Troubled Youth post-it:



I am shocked and hurt that _my_ graffiti (ISU means I screwed you) is singled out for punishment, while the Spanish graffiti goes ignored.--Troubled Youth



The post it was torn down in less than a day, but it didn't matter. Posting made me feel alive, man. Me and a friend decided to sustain this high (and corrupt others) we would create: TROUBLED YOUTH: THE WEBSITE. And...possibly some tie-in merchandise, to make money.
