Knick-Knack What the Frack?!
I have a lot of knick-knacks and what nots around my house. I guess you could call them chatchkis. You know stuff like action figures, statues, toys, gadgets..etc. It’s all cool. But what purpose does it serve really? Is it so people can catch a glimpse of my personality when they see it? Or is it because I like to look at it? I’m not sure really. At some point I think to myself “These are awesome… but why in the fuck do I have them?”.
It really doesn’t keep me from buying more of it though. I love the crap. I love my Big Daddy figurine, I love my Master Chief helmet, I love my Optimus Prime, I love my Moobys Funployee badge, I love it all.
Where does it stop though? I recently boxed up a bunch of little chatchkis because they were in an area where peoples kids would constantly pull them out and play with them and they were really unseen otherwise. I don’t blame the kids for wanting to play with them. They’re all just toys basically anyway. But putting them in the box I thought that’s it? That’s what happens to these things? They get displayed and then tossed away into a box? That’s the end game for all this compulsive buying?
I guess what I’m really trying to say here is.. I need to buy more wall shelves for my office.

Warden telling the kids, “Quit playing with my toys damn it!”.
I sold all my figurine’s a year or two ago on Ebay… I regret it. Now I just try and collect the super extra limited edition type shit to display otherwise I start running out of space.
