I haven't been truly manic, but I have been hypomanic. It's been a long time, but I remember having a philosophical conversation about how everything is art whether it is intended to be or not. I was pointing out everything I saw on the street. "Like this parking meter that has been smashed with a baseball bat. This is art. The person who made the meter was an artist and the one with the baseball bat was a free thinker who thought that the parking meter should have a shape unlike other parking meters so he sculpted it into what it is now...etc." Chances are it was just someone who came along and wanted to break stuff.
