Collections



Master has had various collections through out His life. In the time I have known Him (almost 4 1/2 years) He has had a Godzilla collection, a Hellraiser collection, a Pumpkinhead collection, Batman collections, various comic book collections, Sandman collection, Zoids collection, a cane collection, Alice Cooper collection, and of course.... sharp pointy things (a.k.a. swords axes, and blades). As I am typing this, He has vastly cut down the different things He collects. Which to me is a good thing. This way we can focus on one or two of His collections and spend more money on them instead stead a little bit for this collection.. a little bit for that collection... well you get the idea. He currently has collections of the follow things: Godzilla, blades, canes, and Boba Fett. The Boba Fett one is rather new and He only has six pieces in it right now. But is has totally taken over His computer. He now has a Boba Fett wall paper and a Boba Fett screensaver. I am just glad it isn't as many collections. Don't get me wrong, I've supported Him in any and all collections He has ever had/wanted. But I find it more pleasing to the eye, and more satisfactory, to only have a few collections. It just makes it easier to build the collections up.. not to mention the house looks less "cluttered" and or "spread out". A good example would be our friend's house. They have Star Wars (EVERYWHERE!), Hellraiser, Aliens, dragons, angels, faeries, various Horror figures, various Sci-Fi figures, Doctor Who.. the list goes on.. and on.. and on... their house not only looks cluttered, but it is not pleasing to my eye to see all those things colliding together through out the house. I guess I'm a little OCD-ish that way. I want one collection together... then a little ways away (at the minimum.. preferably a different section of the living room or perhaps even another room of the house) another collection.

Anyways, Master thought I should start collecting something. I haven't had a collection that I really loved since I was about 20 years old. When I was growing up my dad was a major KISS fan. He still is. And because I hung out with my dad and I constantly heard the music, I turned into a major KISS fan as well. I collected KISS memorabilia for a large part of my life. Then... I met Master. He showed me other bands that I loved even more, the band KISS did some things that really pissed me off, and I got rid of my entire collection. Even the cds. All of it.. gone. I either sold it, gave it to my Dad (the pieces I thought he'd really want) or my brother. I collected the McFarlane Dragons series for a while.. but then I started seeing what the new ones looked like and went "Ew!" and got rid of all of those by giving them to our friends I was telling you about earlier in this post, since they collect dragons. So, I'm sitting here trying to think of a collection I could really get into. A collection that I could take pride in, one that has plenty of things to add to it... you know stuff like that. I don't want to collect something that only has 10 or 20 things in it... that's boring. That's to small.

Then I looked up and saw my old Zippo lighter sitting on top of the entertainment center. I couldn't get rid of it once the paint started to chip off. And I didn't want to use it anymore in fear of ruining it. It is a Zippo with a picture of a wolf on it, an animal that holds a lot of spiritual meaning to me. Then I started thinking of how I needed a new Zippo, since I'm sick and tired of using Bics... and then I did what got me started on this. I looked online to see what Zippo I would want.. and guess what... there are LOTS of them I want. So, it dawned on me. Zippos! I'll collect Zippos and Zippo memorabilia! Some of them are inexpensive.. some aren't.. some are limited editions, and others just cry out, "Own me!". So there Master! I have made my decision. And it's something You got me hooked on. I never had a Zippo until You bought me one. And now.. I'm hooked. The Zippos will be taking over! *insert evil kitten laugh here* ... *cough*... Okay I'm better now.
