The Mysterious Stranger
I was walking to a class early in the morning today. A few feet in front of me was a guy wearing a Ninja Turtles backpack that had a picture of Leonardo looking defiant. I was blown away by how cool this guy must be to have a Ninja Turtles backpack while in college, when they usually market those products to 5-10 year olds. I thought the only people my age who still bought Ninja Turtles merchandise were me and my two close Ninja Turtles buddies who would watch the episodes of the new cartoon together every week and squeal with delight. But, hinder over there is another; a man with a Ninja Turtle backpack strapped across his back. It was a new Ninja Turtles backpack with the new design for the new version of the Turtles. That was cool, but if the guy had an original Ninja Turtles backpack from 1987, I would have been so impressed that I would have immediately started making out with him in the snow.Still I was wowed by the backpack. To makes things even sweeter, he was wearing sweatpants. Cool, I like to wear sweatpants, too. I thought that I should go talk to him and become best buddies right on the spot. Unfortunately, I couldn't approach that monument of man right there, for I was not wearing sweatpants, I was wearing jeans; I looked like a sell out. Damn cruel fate.
