after reading everyone talking about the color i have now changed my mind. i was all about the blue. it is my favorite color after all. but then i got to thinking about my ocd and it i had a blue one then all my accessorizes would have to match. it would be hell. with a black one I could use any color tip, glass, tank or what ever i wanted. everything goes with black, white and brown. so unless i win one and i dont have a choice in color (which by the way i wont care, i would be ecstatic if i won) i am going with black despite loving the blue. just means the second one will have to be blue, but the first one will have to be black.
