Messenger Bag

I would like to get a new messenger bag (1) because I am gay like a woman who buys a new purse every few months, and (2) I want to be cool.  The bag needs to house a small-medium sized blogging machine, cell phone, ipod, and a 9 mm Glock (for the commute).  Below are a few links to items I have been looking at:
MobileEdge

Timbuk2

Should I do leather?

TUMI

Adobe

Your suggestions will be noted but likely not followed.  Thanks.

   If you at all value our friendship you won’t get leather. Not because I’m “against” leather, but because leather bags are so not hip.

   ………I’d go with the leather ( black ) and a matching ( studded ) collar and don’t forget the pants , boots , jacket , bling-bling ….. the Glock is already a nice touch …….

   macnn posted a glowing review of waterfield’s mambo combo bag, saying, among other things, it is, “easily the best shoulder bag [the reviewer] has ever used.” All kinds of color, and leather/noleather options. I personally go with crumpler, but then I got mine as a gift. Serious heads in new york go with jack spade. A buddy of mine has a spade, and I can’t front, I dig it. Make sure you click on the “greene street” section if you want to see bags that cost less than three bills — not much less though.

   I couldn’t get through the day without my Patagonia Critical Mass bag. And the reflector tape makes it easy for cars to see me playing in the middle of the road.

   you’d think that I would have decided by now, but the last month has been a doozy. I have time to decide now.
