My Freescale backback recently gave up the ghost due to its general shittyness and its brief but exciting career as an extra brake pad for my scooter when I wiped out on Lamar. I fixed one of the small holes in the outside, caused by the crash, only to discover a much bigger hole on the inside, caused by the shittyness. And since I'm not particularly interested in continuing to advertise for a company that laid me off after 9 years, I decided it was Time for a New Pack. I started prowling the local thrift stores, and I found a really nice Samsonite one. It had probably the most solid construction of any backpack I've owned, lots of the right kind of pockets, and was just the right size. There was only one problem.

The color.


With a backpack this color, some people would be afraid that people might think they were gay. This, however, wasn't my problem. It's not that this salmon-pink backpack is too gay for me.

It's that it's not gay *enough*.

If I'm going to do pink at all, I have absolutely no use for any kind of delicate colors unless they're on/in someone I'm fucking. If I'm going to do pink, it has to be shocking, obnoxious, and unquestionably and aggressively gay.

I think this qualifies. :)



This is also the first time I've actually used this airbrush compressor, purchased from an ex-girlfriend, since I've owned it, and will be good practice for making the scooter a metallic version of the same color.
