I really don't know where this comes from. I'm not a messy person and I think that a dirty house is quite disgusting, but I love it when there is tons of trash in the street!
Living in Rome you think I'd get sick of it, the countless plastic bags, cardboard boxes, smashed bottles of beer, and fresh dog turds. But no. I love it. And abandoned lots full of sleeping bums, don't even get me started. Those are great when you just really need to pee by the side of the road!
I guess this contributed to my wonderful new years eve. Went down to North Philly with my BFF. Walked down sketchy alleys (probably some of the most sketchy places I've been to yet) we were both, I must admit, freaking out a little. But it was thrilling. Occasional piles of rubbish were everywhere. It somewhat resembled the location when a bum assumes a nomadic lifestyle after living on the same corner for a while. You can see the grease smeared against the corner of a building, some paper maybe some cardboard, and that tell-tale half-eaten bagel that shows he left his place of living in a rush.
Maybe you don't agree with this, but spending dancing time in a big old warehouse is only possible in a place like this. So by association or by pure aesthetic illogical attraction I feel at home only when I am comfortable throwing my mayonnaise napkin or empty cigarette pack on the ground.
Let's start littering!
