Redpyramidhead is on a distinguished road
I collect knowledge and weird imagined worlds of reality inside my head. I also collect music. I collect videogames and if I could I would get every single one I wanted ever made and what comes out each month, but that's insane because it costs an arm and a leg and I just don't have the funds to buy games at the rate that I used to. It's eating me away inside, though, knowing that there are so many games out there that I do not have and will never get to play, even though I know I wouldn't get to most of them anyway if i actually owned all of them. I am the same way with books, especially anything by H.P. Lovecraft or related, Neil Gaiman, and anything depressing and/or imaginative. It sounds like I must have a lot of these types of things collected, but I actually don't compared to real collectors because I don't have that kind of money, but if I did i probably would have no shame. I'd collect everything under the sun that's ever interested me throughout my life. I want to collect strange old books on spirituality and the occult. I want to collect used cars. I want to collect brand new sports cars. And most important of all, I must have a large collection of guitars.

As you can see, I have the kind of obsessive personality that would drive other people insane when it comes to this sort of thing. I would use the money if I had it to help people out before I would ever be able to spend THAT much on myself, though. It would certainly bother me collecting all this stuff people could have a use for when I don't need it all or the money could be put towards something they need.

Actually, right now I am in need of enough money for living expenses myself, to say the least and I feel so gluttonous talking about all those things I would like to collect when I know there are things much more important at hand.

But I suppose if your collecting of something has to do with a passion of yours that is related to achieving your life goals, then it is necassary.

Anywayz, as for now...I'm just collecting dust
