I turned the radio up… yawn. Another rerun of “This American Life”, one of my favorite radio shows. Ira, I&amp;rsquo;ve heard it all before. I switched on the ipod and played some ambient techno stuff, it always relaxes me when I do this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soft music played as I whizzed around town behind restaurants, inside apartment complexes, searching for a perfect trash bin in which to indulge myself. See, I&amp;rsquo;ve got this trash fetish. Wait, before you judge me. It&amp;rsquo;s strange I know, but totally harmless. Since I was a kid, I&amp;rsquo;ve just always loved being around the stuff. It turns me on for reasons I can&amp;rsquo;t explain. So, rather than denying it, I&amp;rsquo;ve chosen to embrace it and just enjoy my weekly jerkoff inside a smelly dumpster. Let me tell you, if you could understand how happy it makes me, you might try it yourself.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Late Night Dumpster Date</title><link>/stories/2009/11/22/late-night-dumpster-date/</link><pubDate>Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/2009/11/22/late-night-dumpster-date/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s October. The air is crisp and cool, perfect for a dumpster explorer like me. It&amp;rsquo;s about 11pm on a Sunday night, and my trashy journey begins. I lock my front door behind me and step out into the night air in my old doc martens, some grubby old cargo pants and a retro-styled t-shirt with Oscar the Grouch on the front.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s trash night, and the streets in my neighborhood are lined with garbage cans, overflowing with black and white garbage bags, some spilling their contents onto the street&amp;hellip; cups and papers blowing in the night breeze. I sniff the air to see if I can catch a whiff of all that lovely garbage&amp;hellip; not close enough, so I walk down the street for a closer look. One particularly lovely looking pile of white bags catches my eye. I walk to it and begin feeling the bags. They are heavy with kitchen waste, my all time favorite. Looking closely, I can see the stuff inside, looks like old salad and macaroni, mixed with used napkins and paper plates, a can or two, plastic bags&amp;hellip; you know, your run on the mill garbage. I like these bags, so I heave a few out of their cans and place them closer to the curb for &amp;ldquo;pickup&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
