#mysurvivalkit

This is how I get through most of my days.

(note: my phone is wack, so i've excluded it from this) The Kanken Rucksack is something I wanted for a minute. A lot of hipsters in NYC have this bag, and I figure they're gentrifying the crap out of my city, so I figure if I start rocking their bags, they'll get mad at how "mainstream" its become. As a writer, I keep several pens and several notebooks. The red and blue are just staples pens I jacked from work. The black one is a Pilot Precise V5 with the tip that looks like a syringe. I always thought those pens were cool as shit. I usually have one or two of my notebooks on me. The spiral one is to flesh out this short story that I need to write to get in to this Masters program I'd like to do. The Moleskine with the 'preme sticker is to jot down random thoughts, ideas, or anything I must write when I'm on the go, such as a phone number, an e-mail addy or something to look up on the internets. I've had it for years, but I recently slapped the sticker on there just be be a hypebeast. A writer should always be reading something, just to keep the mind sharp. Revolutionary Suicide by the late, great leader of the Black Panther Party, Huey P. Newton is a good read. I also enjoy a Time Magazine or New York Magazine from time to time. I fucks with wooden beads hardbody, and I usually have some combination of wrist or neck beads on. I hate ashy skin and chapped lips, hence the Keri lotion and the chapstick. I am the king of chapstick and I have at least 15 tubes in my room right now. Lastly, I don't wear lots of cologne, mostly because I forget to put it on after I shower, but when I do, Calvin Klein Euphoria is one of my favorites.
