Okay, so this is going to sound real weird, but here it goes.
In 2005, at BeachBreak, Camp Darby, Italy, on a club ‘beyond youth’ trip, my male councilor told me something I would never forget.
He said, “PHOTON_BANDIT, would you like to know the most liberating, carnal, and best feel-good thing you can ever experience is?”
Of course I said yes.
“Have you ever eaten an orange in the shower?”
“No... no, I haven’t.”
“Well, just think about it PHOTON_BANDIT, tearing apart a cold, fresh orange with your bare hands, just letting the juices run over your body. Not worrying if your going to get sticky, or anything. Just ripping it in half, and tearing into it with your teeth like a savage cannibal who hasn’t eaten in a week! Yes, PHOTON_BANDIT, this is the most carnal, ferocious, liberating thing a man can do.”
And from that day forward, I start my mornings with an orange in the shower.
