Fall is coming

Wait. It's already here. Hell, nature finally threw us a bone. The weather has been shit if you don't live near el gulfo incase you didn't know. I recently got a pocket knife from my old man. An old Carl Schlieper, three blade. I cleaned it up nice, got the junk off of it. Cleaned off rust, and restored the horn inlay. Sounds cool right? Yeah it so is, in fact it's totally fucking rad.

But then something happened.



The spring broke where the two smaller blades were located. It broke so cleanly, I thought that the part that fell out onto the floor was removable. I tried to put it back and finally realized that shit was not supposed to happen at all. So now it's just sitting on the bureau. ¡Maldito! It can be repaired though, and I'll probably do that since it's worth holding onto.

But yeah I carry around a pocket knife, in case anyone was wondering. I don't cut people with my knife, I cut things. Plus you never know when you'd need to cut someone out of a seatbelt that's jammed. Expect the unexpected bitch! Always be prepared, because being an unprepared dipshit is uncool. I might be a boyscout dropout, pero no soy un pendejo. And I'm not a pretentious eagle scout either.

Once knew a boyscout a few years back, he always had a pocket knife on him. And he said it paid off to have one, because you never knew when you'd need one. Reasonable solid advice right there. And it makes sense, a long ass time ago men carried around pocket knives for everyday convenience. But also a long ass time ago men also engaged in knife fights. Christ what idiots they were.

My point being just because the pocket knife is an old technology it doesn't mean we should just disregard it. It's a tool, we humans use tools all the time. We do a lot of shit that's low tech anyway too, like using toilet paper which is unsanitary. Can't believe we seriously just wipe our asses with paper. Someone explain to me why we don't have a better alternative than that in 2016.
