The truck in my profile is no more
The truck you see in my profile picture has been repossessed by the evil empire known as 'Ex-Girlfriend, Inc'.
Due to circumstances, the truck (formally a gift from said empire) was irrevocably retracted and stripped of its gift status, and labeled as merely a token of a contract. Hence, it was stated that it was not officially a gift, but part of a contract, that in the event of a break-up, the truck would leave with the person who gave it.
Didn't make much sense to me either.
It was a nice truck. Nice to look at. Its purpose though was no more than a transporter of trash, which coincidentally, contained trash when it was removed from the property, but upon removal, the trash was left strewn about my yard, along with plenty of other trash left behind by said empire.
No worries though. Just a lovely reflection of the true character of the empire.
So, now I am truck-less, but I have gained a lot of trash. This leaves me in a conundrum. The truck was used to remove the trash from the property, and now it is gone. So how do I get the trash from my property to the dump? Its a very methodical process, to say the least. Each week, go to the dump with a couple of bags of trash neatly contained in clean trash bags. Each trip removes part of the past empire's legacy and places it where it rightly belongs.
Its very cleansing process, both literally and figuratively.
