Creed Thoughts
A lot of blue-collar guys have toolkits to help them do their jobs. The kits got whatever tools they need to get their jobs done – hammers, screwdrivers, jaws of life, etc. As a guy that doesn’t build things or fix things, you might think that I don’t need a toolkit, but you’d be wrong. I have my own kit that I carry around with me every day and I’ve pared it down over the years to just the bare essentials.
1. Nail clippers. I don’t know about you, but my nails grow crazy fast. That’s not even why I carry the clippers, though. Clippers are great when you need to cut something, like a wire or a chain, and you don’t want to be seen carrying something bigger. Sure, they’re not the strongest things in the world, but trust me, they get the job done. Not only that, but they provide a great cover for anything you’re doing. Let’s say, hypothetically, that you’re trying to get in somewhere you’re not supposed to be and, all of a sudden, some fatso security guard comes walking through. Do you freak out? No way. You just pull out your clippers and start clipping your nails. Who are you? Just a normal guy trying to work on his personal hygiene. It’s perfect.
2. Gauze. Gauze is a great accessory. If you get hurt, put gauze on it. If you want to make people think that you’re hurt, wrap a little gauze anywhere on your body and boom – instant sympathy. Nobody ever bothers to look under gauze. Ever. If you get tired, just whip out that roll of gauze and use it as a pillow. It’s incredibly soft. I’m not even getting into its obvious uses as a bathroom helper. You know what I mean.
3. Business cards. They don’t have to say your name on them. Mine don’t. Mine say a bunch of other people’s names. I just pick up a few every time I see a stack of them somewhere. The point isn’t to tell someone who you are, it’s to tell them that you’re a professional. When you hand someone a business card, they know you mean business. That’s why they’re called business cards.
My toolkit comes in handy almost every day. I don’t go anywhere with it. Now that you know what’s in my toolkit, I’ve got to ask – what’s in your toolkit?

A stick of lip balm is always good. It looks innocent enough, but if someone grinds your gears, you can smear it all over the side-view mirrors of their car and inconvenience them. Not to mention that the flavored kind can provide a tasty snack between meals. I like cherry, myself -- that's gotta be like a serving of fruit.
I would have to say my toolkit contains a Newton, an old PowerBook, and a Motorola MicroTAC. That way, if anybody catches me doing something I'm not supposed to, I can make them think they got sent back to the mid 1990s. That really freaks people out.
My Personal Toolkit: Moleskine pocket notebook, pen, camera.
1) Thick italian-style mustache.
2) Roller skates (not blades, skates).
3) Thick italian-style salami.
4) Pocket of mayonnaise.
1. Powerbar - you'll need to refuel at times.
2. Rabid foot - not a rabbit's foot.
3. half dollar coin - for bail, they're collectables.
4. piece of a broken mirror - for stakeouts & shanks

1. Boomerrang- knock birds out of the sky in stealth
2. Gel Soap- clean yourself, and slide out of handcuffs
3. Brass knuckles- they look like five rings at first, but then look like the last breath of someone else's life
