about the no. series i have been attending a college in texas for two and half years now. this semester i was walking alone when my subconscious saw some graffiti that read "no." i must have seen it a hundred times, but it never registered. (this particular "no." can be seen here) i kept walking and came to another "no." didn't i already see that? i asked myself. (i talk to myself a lot while i walk. this was why i was walking alone.) i dismissed it as deja vu. then i came to another. i backtracked, and realized that i had just seen three successive "no."s written on seemingly random spots. i started noticing more "no."s, even off campus. they seemed to be everywhere, following me. what are they for? who put them there? why did they put them there? did i put them there and forget what i had done? it seems like something i'd do...yet i remember nothing about them. i cannot find the creator of the "no."s (how does one find such a person?) and may possibly never find him or her. this intrigues me intensely, to the point that i scour parts of the campus for hours because i have to find a new "no." i have posted all the "no."s i have found, ten total as i write this. i'm positive there are more, in areas i do not frequent. they will be found. -chris. december 9, 2004
