On tonight's menu:

• Ham sandwich. (I only ate a few bites. I might not be able to eat the rest before it goes bad.)
• Unopened 12 oz can of Coca-Cola. Due to carelessness, I actually ended up dropping it out of reach. I'm not that much of a high fructose corn syrup fan anyway.
• Tasty shrimp.
• Little squares of sweet cake.
• Handful of Freedom Fries, with a slight charcoal flavoring added.
• Slice of pizza.
• Enough raw pizza dough to feed an entire village. No exaggeration. For the hell of it, I ate a couple bites, and bagged a few handfuls. Don't know what I'm gonna do with it though.
• Some Boulder Potato Chips.
• Organic Peaches. Kind of smushy, but very flavorful.
• Unopened sealed bag of nitrate-free, no-antibiotic deli roast beef!
• Bag full of hamburger buns to go with the beef.
• A whole zucchini.
• Fresh tomato.

Now judging by some of the evidence I've seen, it would appear that some of you have been breaking the first two rules of Dumpster Club. I see the signs. Clumsily punctured trash bags. Things obviously rearranged as you were trying to get to the goods. The barely perceptible smell that someone else was here not long ago. It takes one to know one.

What do I say to that? If we are capitalism's forgotten step-children, then so be it! We've all been raised to believe we're going to grow up to become cubicle drones, pointy haired bosses, grunts behind the counter, or workers wasting our days away in assembly lines. But you know what? We're not.

Tonight's homework assignment: You're going to visit a dumster, you're going to look through it thoroughly, and you're going to find nothing. This is not as easy as it sounds. Extra bonus points go to those who can get caught in the act by an employee of the business, a manager, or best of all, a uniformed cop.

This is your life. You are not your car. You are not your money. You are not your house. You are not your fucking dvd collection. Now go out there and make something happen.

Oh, and one more thing. The first rule of Project Revolution: You do ask questions! Now let's go make some art.
