-Sega Genesis games, systems, controllers, and other memorabilia.

-Star Wars figures and other memorabilia--though I haven't really bought much in the way of Star Wars since Revenge Of The Sith, though the one big thing I'd still like to get my hands on is a Red Darth Vader Force FX Light Saber. I've been a Star Wars fan since I was 11 and my favorite characters are Vader, Boba Fett, and R2-D2. Stormtroopers also kick ass even though they could never hit the broad side of a barn.

-DVD's...lol He who has the most DVD's when they die wins!! I think I'm up to 120+ now. I've been obsessed with DVD's since my family bought our first DVD player back in 2004. Our very first DVD was Daddy Day Care which we still have. My first DVD that I ever bought was Predator. That movie is awesome. "What the hell are you?" Some of my favorite movies are the original Star Wars Trilogy, Aliens, Terminator 2, The Lion King, The Secret Of NIMH, Dumb and Dumber, Billy Madison, and Happy Gilmore.

-Music--Whether it's CDs, Vinyls, or even MP3s I also have a ton of music. My favorite bands and singers are Korn, Limp Bizkit, Kiss, Bjork, and Pink Floyd. What a variety, eh? I just started collecting vinyl records with my mom and my aunt last summer and I'm probably up to between 30 and 40 LPs and like 15 singles (45s). My favorite albums in this collection include Destroyer (Kiss), The Wall (Pink Floyd), The Nightfly (Donald Fagan), Escape (Journey), and The Red and Blue Albums (The Beatles).

-Action Figures and other miscellaneous toys--Besides my Star Wars figures which since I've moved I'm still looking for a decent place to display them, I also collect various toys that I used to like as a kid or represent my youth in the late 80's through the 90's. I have a whole retro shelf in my room devoted to Transformers, G.I. Joe's, Hot Wheels, KISS, Spider-Man, Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, and Smurfs.
I'm so glad I've been able to embrace my inner child again and I've never really grown up. Sometimes I still feel like that nine year old little boy I used to be still playing Sega Genesis, watching Sonic The Hedgehog (SatAM), and collecting and playing with Hot Wheels and various Action Figures. I guess it really is a comfort zone. It reminds me of a time when life didn't suck so much.
