#20 My New Backpack - Goodbye Courrier Bag.

I once thought that the only way to look cool was to wear your backpack on one shoulder. Then, I fell for the whole shoulder bag thing. I was a sucker. I don't care how dorky I look anymore. I'll strap my new rucksack up high, between my shoulderblades like an alpine hiker. Hell, I might even yodel. I'm tired of my bananas being squished as my overstuffed shoulder bag bounces against my hips. I'm throwing off the chains of coolness and double-strapping it. I'm not gonna risk my poor back anymore. I look like a dork no matter what I do, anyway. I only wish my pack had one of those neat plastic sphincters for my headphone jack.
