April 05, 2010 - 8:25 p.m. My landlord watched me wrestling with the overflow of recycling in the parking lot of my building and asked, "you having fun?" I commented that the building could do with more recycling containers and he said I should just throw it in the trash, then he made a racist remark about people getting hired to pick through the trash. After some back and forth he made his final point. "I have a different attitude," he said, "I figure the world's already screwed." He mumbled something about our ancestors, shifting the blame, shuffling it around in his pockets with his hands. All I could think of was his kids, playing on the lawn while a cigarette dangled from his lips.
