Collectibles: Everyone Has Something

Do you have any collections?

Collections are something everyone has. Some hide theirs, and others show them off. Do you show yours off? Or do you collect them in private and hope no one finds out? Me? I show my collections off. If I hide them, then what’s the point in collecting?

I really only collect two things. I’d love to collect more, but I don’t have anywhere to put stuff. I also don’t think there’s much else I’d like to collect anyway.

The first thing I collect is comic books. Old comics, new comics, I collect them all. I don’t actively hunt down certain issues of comics, but every comic I buy, I read, and then I store it away in a box. I haven’t counted how many I have, but it has to be about 1,000 comic books by now.

Most of my comic books are Marvel, but I also have several DC and independent comics. Some of the independent comics are just as good, if not better than Marvel or DC. If I see something I’m interested in, I’ll buy it. A good story is a good story, regardless of where it comes from.

The second thing I collect is Funkos. I love Funkos, and I have since I started buying them. I easily have a few hundred of them by now, and I have them sitting on shelves where people can see them. Which ones do I have? There are way too many to list, but the majority of them are Marvel related.

I do have several Funkos that have nothing to do with Marvel, too. I have a few Stranger Things Funkos, Silicon Valley, Happy Days, and even a few Metallica Funkos. I have no intention of ending my collection of Funkos. There’s always new ones coming out, and if there’s one I like, I’ll buy it.

There’s nothing wrong with collecting things. Some people might call it weird. Some people might hate it. But at the end of the day, if it makes you happy, then that’s all that matters. Collections bring people joy. So collect on!

The Possibility of Tattoos

What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. I’ve known for some time that I want to get some tattoos. How many? I would like to cover both of my arms with tattoos. I just haven’t yet because I don’t know what I want, it costs money, and I’m not really a fan of needles.

A couple of years ago, I wanted my left arm to be covered in different kinds of tattoos from Norse Mythology. Then, it became any kind of mythology. Now, I kind of want it covered in band logos and symbols. From the start, I’ve always wanted my right arm covered in comic book stuff. That’s never changed and probably won’t. I love comic books, the characters, and the art. And while I do like Marvel so much more than DC, I wouldn’t say no to a Batman tattoo.

I just think it’s more reasonable to cover my left arm in things from the bands I like. There are so many bands that have had an influence on me, and I’d like to honor that in some way. Music will always be a part of my life, and it just makes sense to wear that as a part of me.

I’m swear I’m so indecisive at times, but at the end of the day, I know I either want something Architects (band) related or Mjolnir. Where would I get it? On my left forearm, above my watch. Architects are a band that I found when I needed them the most. They’ve had a bigger impact on me than any other band. And why Mjolnir? Because it’ll be a reminder that no matter what happens or how I might feel, I’m still worthy.
