So, you wanna write? Are you willing to give up a normal life and become part of the Trash Community? Are you willing to beat the deadline? Are you willing to share with the universe the trashy thoughts in your head?
I'll give you a minute to think about it.

Okay, time's up. Are you chickening out?
No? Good.
So, you still wanna write? Yeah, write. You must be crazy. And you know what? We at Planet Trash always welcome crazy people!
However, we cannot just let anyone litter on this planet. We are looking for qualified people.
Oh, you don't have to be a great writer, although that would help. All that we are looking for are intelligent beings (human, alien, or otherwise) with a sense of humor and a will to write. So if you really want to join us, this is what you should do:
1. Pick a name (real or fictitious) to use in your monthly trash.
2. Think of a column name for your month piece or pieces of trash.
3. Write a short (2 to 3 pages is ideal) piece of trash (see definition below) in .html or .txt format. Attach the file to an e-mail (I said "attach", not "include in e-mail body"), put "join" in the subject box, tell us something about yourself in the e-mail body, and send it to josh@nettrash.com.
4. Wait.
5. Keep on waiting. Josh is usually very busy (heh heh heh), and it may take some time before you get a response.
6. If we think you are good enough (Don't worry, our standards are not very high. Even a horrible writer like Vlad can get into the team), you will receive an e-mail containing further information.
What constitute a piece of trash? For us, it is a well-written piece, preferably laced with humor or sarcasm, that says exactly what on the writer's mind, no matter how offensive or gross.
Oh, before I forget, if you are rejected, don't feel bad. Just tell yourself, "Why would I want to join an useless, time-wasting thing like that? Those guys there are nothing but @!#$% (add your own expletive) trash!"
