Title:
Perceiving perspective and 2009 Osprey packs
Whether your glass is half empty, your plate too full, or you’re looking at the world through the bottom of a glass; perspective is everything. The meaning of everything in life can be drastically redefined with an alternate perspective. Money, love, and freedom are all good examples of this…so is getting a new backpack.
People get sooooo scared, pulling the trigger on that new pack. Understandable; it is kind of a big desision. There are a lot of questions to be asked:
Will your friends be impressed with your selection?
How impressed?
Does it have enough pockets?
Does it have too many pockets?
Is there such a thing as too many pockets?
What even constitutes a pocket?
Does it make you look fat?
How fat?
Does it have weird hidden features that need to coordinate with other hidden features?
What are all those straps and loops and buckles for?
Does it draw attention to my cankles?
You don’t think I have cankles do you?
All of those questions are very much matters of perspective. But, if you’re buying an Osprey pack, the answer to most of those questions will be a resounding YES! (except for the fat thing and the cankle thing. Osprey packs are actually engineered to mask those traits)
What is not a matter of perspective, is anything mathematical. Math is beautiful like that. 2 + 2 will always = 4, no matter what big brother might tell you. And 25% off 2009 Osprey packs IS a good freakin’ deal, despite what the haters might say.
Fortunately, Osprey redesigns their packs every year. This accomplishes two things:
1. It gives pack-geeks something new to buy every year.
2. It means that we get to discount the obsolete to make room for the cutting edge. This is great for those who frequently find themselves putting their financial situation in perspective.
So, regardless of your perspectives, just remember, that somewhere out there, there are discount Osprey packs and a store that can help you keep things in perspective.
