I strongly dislike those shoes and the weird zipper things on your pants for your feet(this is an indicator that your pants are far too tight.)

sean · « **Reply #4553 on:** 19 Feb 2009, 17:57 »

Yeah I can't say I am all about the shoes either. But I guess thats why I wear knock-off chucks.

redglasscurls · « **Reply #4554 on:** 19 Feb 2009, 19:18 »

Totally hate pants that tight usually, but I'm giving Gene a pass here because he just seems so be having so much goddamn fun in them!

Sorry man, nothing looks good when it's got backpack straps all over it.

Fight you, backbackers are hot.

Ballard · « **Reply #4557 on:** 19 Feb 2009, 22:54 »

Aw, thanks guys.

Man I do not really take opinions on the pants seriously. I am entirely aware that they are ridiculous. But they work so well for me that I'm not about to give them up. Really no guy makes the decision to wear skin tight womens' jeans without being completely confident in his choice and appreciative of the way he looks in them.

Re: backpack straps, however, is that really bad? I've only recently taken to carrying that thing around 'cause it's super convenient to carry shit in (notebooks and pens for song ideas, books to read on the train, extra clothing because I sleep in a lot of places that aren't my home often) and I think it makes a nice, relatively neutral, urban accessory.

fyi the zippers on the pants are just decorative. I can zip them up but they looked better that way with the boots.

Spluff · « **Reply #4558 on:** 19 Feb 2009, 23:09 »

Just get a different sort of bag. A messenger bag would look much better - a backpack just makes you look like you are on your way to school.

Ballard · « **Reply #4559 on:** 19 Feb 2009, 23:11 »

I'm completely ass-backwards. I have a messenger bag for school and a backpack for personal use. And honestly I'm tired of messenger bags. They are hell on my neck and shoulders, and combined with the fact that I don't own a bed (I sleep on a pullout loveseat sort of thing) are just bad for me.

Though if I completely disregard all of that I was thinking of getting a Manhattan Portage bag.

MrSteevo · « **Reply #4560 on:** 19 Feb 2009, 23:28 »

I agree with the messenger bag being a pain in the neck. (literally) While the back pack doesn't work all that well for style, it is the most practical. If you're going to a party and need to pack extra clothes and the like. So really, it's a choice of style or comfort

Hey guys, screw you all I love backpacks. One of the first things I am getting when I am solid is a proper packing backpack(so I can look like a soldier, or possibly a hobo). I like the idea of being able to fit my entire life into one bag(It's true I could! I have a ton of righto awesome camping gear, I am such a little trooper).

However, Strappy back packs for non-packing uses are stupid. :C

MarkTBSc · « **Reply #4563 on:** 20 Feb 2009, 10:35 »

I went a bit crazy on Backpacks. I got into the whole Zombiesquad thing and decided I needed a better 'pack for when the Zombies come so I bought this big Maxpedition one. They're awesome bags but expensive. But then I realised I wanted one for work and stuff too so I bought another one and it turned out to be too small... So I bought ANOTHER one... And these are, like, £100 each. More in some cases.

So, now the one I have is still a little on the snug side, the emergency pack one is too small for that and weighs half a ton when fully loaded and the small one is living under my desk... I don't know what to do with it.

The moral of the story is, if you want a backpack then go to a real, live shop and buy one that's right. Don't get one off the 'net and guess at the specs. Oh, and don't buy cheap chinese knockoffs either. I have one of those and it sucks.

ledhendrix · « **Reply #4564 on:** 20 Feb 2009, 11:13 »

Backpacks are excellent, so much more practical than other forms of bag. Need to go shopping or camping or pretty much any situation where you would be required to put some items in a bag, backpacks are the answer!

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #4565 on:** 20 Feb 2009, 11:26 »

who's going to rummage through your stuff if you're shopping?

that seems a little weird.

De_El · « **Reply #4566 on:** 20 Feb 2009, 13:22 »

I think he meant that wearing a backpack to shop would give the impression that you're going to steal things. Which, I mean, if you did want to raid a shop, a backpack would be handy.

Photos!

My 21st birthday... which was over 2 months ago.

I know, I look like hell. It had been a very long day. That was my second and final drink, the first being a shot of something tasty.

Caspian · « **Reply #4569 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 02:29 »

Photos of mine. For the 0 people that care!

These photos were kind of tough to take; the waves were heavy, the water ankle deep. Water photos are awesome, though.

Trip to Europe. There's about two hundred photos, but four or so will do fine.

Played that pipe organ! ^___^

ledhendrix · « **Reply #4570 on:** 23 Feb 2009, 03:35 »

Those photo's of the waves are pretty sweet. I do quite a bit of surfing and i've been looking to get a camera to take some photo's when I'm out. Any suggestions?

Well, I bought an allegedly (sp?) awesome Olympus waterproof camera, and I've had to replace it twice. So, buy a camera housing, or be prepared to have your camera break on you. Perhaps a cheap camera housing and camera is the way to go.

Fins are a good idea, particularly if it's big/there's a current. I guess if you surf (I bodyboard, myself) then you'll be a decent swimmer, so that's a plus.

You just have to be really good at taking the photo quickly; there's no time to set your shot. Set your camera and shoot really quickly.

If you want to take good close-in shots, be prepared to get sucked over the falls/get hammered by the lip fairly often.

That's like 12 years. Granted, one of the zippers have spoiled, I still carry it everywhere.

Carnaval is pretty big around here, the first 2 days i want post-apocalyptic chique. The third day i want as a geisha.. But i was to drunk to operate a camera >_> (i'm the one with gasmask/top hat.. Excuse the crummy cellphone quality)

Also, in case you don't know: Carnaval is kinda like Halloween, but all costumes are allowed, although around here it's tradition for the guys to dress as women (the third day is officially called the dirty whore parade), also, much alcohol is consumed and most common rules of politeness are ignored.. It's rad)

Oh believe me, I am not at all offended by that. I was such a tomboy back in middle school / high school. But I can assure you I am far more feminine now. Except I do still play dress-up for short films!
