Ahh, inventions...

Since I have created a public blog, I realize I must be somewhat careful of my language, behavior and topics. BUT sometimes I step on a "soap box" and diss everyone...and this is one of those times! So if this applies to you-I'm not the first to hate, just the first to publicly embarrass.

Some inventions are really strange, some are genius, some are complete busts, and some "succeed" but take down people's reputations. There is the clap-on-light, talking Elmo, Viagra, sweatshirts with hoodies, hand warmers, FUBU and my personal favorite: Rolly backpacks!

Now, understand I am not talking about large luggage or suitcases, I'm strictly knockin' on rolly backpacks. Now, again, if you own a rolly backpack, TRUST ME, you are getting blasted left and right from your peers, they just whisper.

Here is my beef with rolly backpacks - WHY?? Suitcases I understand, but a backpack? c' mon, seriously? If you can't zip it up, condense it! And what's more annoying than the clickity-clackity down a long, quiet hallway? I want to kindly ask them to run of a cliff while I take a chainsaw to those freakin wheels! Oh, and its even better when you walk down a crowded hall and you keep kicking some over sized bag. So you look down and find that it's some moron walking their backpack like its a dog! It is called a "back"pack for a reason. And if you have back problems, well...skip you! Now, granted, this is no exhaustive list by any means, but I just wanted to shed some light on the grand invention of wheels on a backpack. How lazy are we?

I can't explain these awesome inventions but check em out...

The Rolly Backpacks our a fad, give it a few years and kids will be made fun of so much for having them, that they will become extinct. (at least I hope so)

Hey John...my backpack is pretty. And my name is on the back merely for the convenience of others. For example, let's say I am walking on campus and I see someone I have met before but he cannot remember my name. All he has to do is take a peek at my backpack and once again all is well. It saves unnecessary embarassment :)

*And I think rolly backpacks were cool in Elementary School. Well, now that I think about it maybe not. I had one in Elementary School, but that probably doesn't mean anything!! haha
