Sayin'.
My problem is that I'm exactly like dude in question, excep that I don't really need graffiti in my life to have a fucked up time passing out at night.
This means, simply, that if you put me in a major metropolitan area, chances are that I'm going to end up breaking the law. It's not a matter of wanting to write on shit. I just do retarded things after dark and, in a city, writing on things is one of the easiest/most rewarding ways to destroy.
If I'm not in living in a city (like now), I'll find someone to drive around to random areas and bullshit with.... which usually leads to someone breaking the law by either blowing up propane tanks at construction sites, putting rocks through windows or melting porta-potties with 2-litre gas/oil combination bombs.
I can be a dumbass.
So, mostly, I've taken to lifting weights at weird hours. That seems to keep the trouble at bay and the energy managable. Push-up and benches are the savior of my freedom. Pussy helps too, but sometimes after I hook-up with a girl I don't really like I just want to destroy more shit, so I tend to stick to lifting.
