New Belt

Little stuff makes me happy...

I've been looking around for a new belt cuz the one I've got is too loose. I could punch more holes in it, but I don't like it that much - I've been looking for an excuse to get rid of it. My old favorite belt died on me a while ago. It was just a simple black belt with two rows of shiny silver grommets, but it started falling apart, so I trashed it. Ever since then I've been looking at belts whenever I find myself in a place that sells them. None of them have impressed me. I know there are cool belts out there - the world is a big place - so I started googling and I found all kinds of belts! Some were more than just belts and that aspect appealed to me. There were belts that were bottle openers, lighters, knives, etc. - all kinds of crazy stuff. So it came down to a decision: I could go with the awesome, highly illegal Gypsy Belt or the equally awesome, more practical 686 Snow Toolbelt. Hmm...

	Gypsy Belt	686 Snow Toolbelt
Pros	Stabbin' suckas! Handmade/unique.	Opens bottles. Can take damn near anything apart with it! Affordable. Won't cause arguement with wife! Safe to wear near man parts! Unlike deadly water, it's TSA approved!
Cons	Only takes apart people. Accidental castration? Not airport/cop friendly. Expen$$$ive. Wife may stab me with it for buying it...	No stabbing. :( Doesn't contain the word "gypsy". Made by snowboarding company. (All snowboarders are posers?) I'm a poser for wearing snowboarding toolbelt?

So, I decided on the 686 belt. As an added bonus, when I went to order it, I found out that there was a 14K gold-plated one with the same double-row of grommets that my old belt had! Yay! I love gold. Dunno why. Maybe it's in my blood... I'm half-Ecuadorian, so I've got Spanish/ancient Incan blood running through my veins. And my other half is generic British, so maybe I've got some Irish-leprechaun-pot-o-gold blood in me too... Who knows. I also like grommets. They're holes, which are normally structural defects, but then they're made of metal, which is structurally strong... Too much analysis? Yup...

I got a new belt!
