Out of school:
Front left:
-Swiss Army knife
-Cell phone
-Some ball-point pen

Front right:
-Wallet
-Loose change
-Sunglasses (my favorite brand, Cheapo)

In School:
Front left:
- 3 or 4 pens
- 1 or 2 pencils
- Hall passes, random papers

Front right:
-Wallet
-ID

I'd love to use a fountain pen, but it is somewhat impractical for day to day use. I do carry one to formal events so I have it in my front left shirt pocket or coat pocket. I must say, it does add an extra level of class to my writing. I don't know why, but I seem to write neater and more clearly when I'm using my fountain pen.

I always wondered how you guys carry all of this stuff around without a bag (for the most part). This will be interesting to see how much stuff you guys can cram into your pockets.

I am continually impressed by how much guys can carry in their pockets! Women's pockets are generally so small that sometimes I have trouble cramming anything more than a chapstick in one. I was amazed when at work the other day a guy pulled a paperback out of his pocket that must have been nearly 3 inches thick!

I tend to carry to much in my pockets. So, here are the basics:

1) Money Clip
2) Credit Card Case
3) Leather Coin Purse
4) Purell - I don't leave home without it
5) Chapstick
6) Kleenex pocket pack
7) Leather Key Case - only housekeys and mailbox key

I always have at least one $2 bill in my money clip.
I always have a small camera on me.

Don't own a cell phone...never will. It's basically wearing a leash.

Not if you don't give out your number;) They're an essential tool for travel and they can literally save lives.

Inside breast pocket left: Wallet and Waterman Phileas pen, usually a small moleskin notebook.
Inside breast pocket right: Black 30 gig iPod
Left hip pocket: Randolph Crew Chief Aviator Sunglasses; don't leave home without 'em.
Right Hip pocket: car keys, condo and bank keys.
Left pocket: cell phone
If I am working, I clip my work cellphone to something! Yes, two cellphones at work!
If I am not working, then I always have a Spyderco Delica clipped to my right pocket, unless it is a special ocassion and I have my Emerson CQC. ;)

Oh, and since the subject was brought up, Hemingway Jones has zero credit card debt, zero.

You sure like name dropping....

Today I'm in "step-dad" mode so I'm rocking cargo pants and a vintage tee.

In the back right is my wallet. Back left, my keys. Front right, about $8 in loose singles, a lighter (lucky Zippo), my buddy's phone number (he babysat for us last night) and a receipt from Border's (listing a copy of "Inked" magazine and a copy of the "Mulan:Special Edition" DVD.) Front left is my I-Pod. Right thigh holds the cellphone. Left thigh is empty but recently held my wife's keys and half of a pack of fruit snacks.
