The good side of graffiti

Graffiti is everywhere and can say so many things.
In this case - spotted underneath an oceanfront boardwalk - love is (or was) in the air.

Translation:
You are the happiness of my life and you know it.
I love you and I can even swear on that.
Baby, I love you and it is real and I will always give you that which you wish, which is tenderness, comprehension and, above all else, love.
- Andy

Did someone say Sugar Daddy?

Somebody desperately wants to be a sugar daddy! And this old geezer isn’t shy about it, even taking out an ad in the local paper.

Translation:
Professional, 50 – Serious, seeking friendship, with young college co-ed, intelligent and open minded, with economic troubles but committed to her studies. Will pay for expenses.

What's wrong in this picture?
Nothing really. It's a leftover from when Obama came down to Puerto Rico to campaign against Clinton last summer in a battle for delegates.
Of course, Puerto Ricans on the Island can't vote for U.S. presidents, but that doesn't matter - a party is a party, right?
It's curious how certain elements of the campaign were adapted to Puerto Rico, such as the flag in the middle of the O and of course, the whole señor PRESIDENTE!!!
It has a nice ring to it...

She said that you said that I said...

Again, a note found in one of many old yearbooks at my local Salvation Army.
I get the feeling this note was written by some girl's BFF. I especially like the locker reference...

Horny kids in school...

Every time I go to the Salvation Army, I always make a point to check out their books and magazines section. On this particular occasion I came across several high school yearbooks (why anyone would donate their yearbooks is beyond me) and found these "love" letters tucked away among the pages.

The owner of this book apparently was hot stuff. The yearbook dates to 1989, by the way - and I remember these sticky notes being sold at Spencer's back in the day.

Somebody was pissed...

As I was moving into my new office a while back, I found this note in the drawer of the desk I was to occupy. Curiously enough, it was printed and taped into the inside of a small pack of chewing gum.

Help me build my blog

By no means am I the first to think of found stuff being cool, but it is always exciting to check out all the strange, hilarious and heartbreaking things people leave lying around. I’ve been collecting curious finds for a while now and am pleased to share them with you.


Feel free to send me interesting stuff you’ve found or maybe even your own stuff – photos, love/break-up letters, birthday cards, kids' homework, to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, drawings – anything that might gain new meaning when looked at again.
