Junk in the Trunk
Lately, I've acquired too much junk. I'm not talking about the fun comic/video games stuff- but rather the day to day items- keys, wallet etc. How much stuff you ask? Check out the lineup below:
Left to right- Jump drive, Cell phone, iPod, Wallet, Nintendo DS, Digitial Camera, Glasses cleaner. Car keys should be there too. Oops.
Do I really need to carry all of this on me at one time? No, but it helps. You never know when you might need a particular item. Granted- many of these items are condensed into one item (iPHONE) but most of us don't have that kinda cash to throw around- and when we do, it goes towards gaming (XBOX 360/PS3). So what am I babbling on about? I need more cargo pants. Lots and lots of cargo pants. Or I hate to say it...the dreaded Man-Purse. Or Murse/Satchel/Tote/Shoulder Bag/what have you. I'm not against the Man-Purse in general, it all depends on what you have in it and what it looks like. Jump drive- YES. Lipstick- BIG NO. Here's a chart to help clear things up...
Even your favorite super heroes are guilty of the 'murse'
or in this case, utility belt:
or in this case, utility belt:
And the less than popular 'Ankle-Murse'.
That about covers it. If you can pull it off and don't feel like a complete idiot wearing one (that's you Scarlet Spidey) go for it. But if you can't*...well, you'll just come off like another goober with a fanny pack. Sad, but true.
*Savage beat downs/verbal abuse from men may occur. Do not wear if you already have an excessive amount of pockets. While wearing the murse, you may be subject to paranoia-unexplained location of items, shoulder rash/discomfort, and neck pain. Rare occurrences may be subject to significant other combining purse into larger murse. Proceed with extreme caution as your relationship, manhood, and fate of the world depends on it.

I vote for making multi-pouched yellow batman utillity belts the new fashion standard.
Beyond that though.... Fall in 2.5 months and with fall comes jackets and coats with 3 more pockets! Hooray for Fall/Winter and more pockets!
Get a satchel. Gap has them fairly reasonable...over the shoulder bag in leather (or faux leather) will be fine. You take it from your far to work, it's sits next to your desk all day... then you leave... and you can leave bag in car and bring in wallet and phone when you're going to say - the movies... you won't need your digi cam in the movies. It's more of a storage thing than it is anything else... Woman have been smart about this FOR YEARS!
*car not far
I vote for the stars and hearts bag. However, the bag doesn't look very functional. You can probably only fit the thumb drive in there. So, you might have to buy a few of them. :)
I think if you wait long enough they will have all these things micro-sized down to one thing that fulfills all the functions of the items you listed.
Probably something that you can wear on your wrist (and stores your Batarang® behind it for those ever present hiding ninjas).
My hope is that it has a 30 sec. self destruct button. A must.
Timbuk2 makes some great messengers that aren't femmie at all. But you don't know... you might just need to carry your .38 around with you next to your water bottle. What if you get really thirsty while busting a cap in a couple asses? You never know!
