guilt and stuff

just now i happened to look at someone else's list of vinyl and cd's and i commented that i would like their collection when they die. then it occurred to me that that was selfish and morbid and i felt bad briefly. besides it's not like i don't have about 600 cd's of my own already, and a stack of about a hundred records. but wow, about half of her collection was stuff i had on cassette that i never upgraded (the vinyl collecting is a new thing of mine which consists of a lot jazz, funk, and 80's stuff) and until i saw it i forgot that i liked listening to that stuff back in the day.
i met an older guy not too long ago who has 2500 dvd's and over 6000 cd's. chances are that our tastes don't overlap that much but i aspire to that. i haven't broke the 300 mark on dvd's yet but am working on it.
come to think of it, i have about 300-400 books too. i'm a compulsive collector. so here's a list of things i've collected.

1. CD's
2. Vinyl
3. DVD's
4. Homies
5. Spawn figures
6. Books
7. Wacky Packs (the original ones)
8. Scratch and Sniff stickers (this was in 2nd or 3rd grade. i still have a bunch and they still smell)
9. Pyschological issues
10. Bad relationships (or just uncomfortable or awkward ones)
11. Debt
12. Recipes for homemade chinese cooking
13. Guitars
14. Stereo equipment
15. Video games
16. Odd assortment of trinkets (ie. a pregnant woman keychain w/ a clear belly and a foetus inside, meat stickers, a ceramic pig that pees.)
17. Useless phrases in many languages.
18. Exotic pets (have had salamanders, crayfish, a ferret, an iguana, some rats, a mouse, two snakes, rabbits-i know that's not exotic but they did eat through a pair of denim jeans, a variety of tropical fish)
19. Comic books (i stopped collecting when i was about 16 but managed to accumulate a vast amount....where the hell did i get the money for all that?)
20. Car problems


peace...

I've collected books, various minor illnesses, debt too, countries and a confused head.

By the way, I'm a fan of that monkey picture in your title.
