Anything worth collecting anymore

Ayy Yo...


Now that R&B music has become Neo-Soul and Neo-Soul is starting to sound like Same Old - Same Old; and Hip-Hop music ain't what it used to be when it started out, I'm finding myself at a lost for things to collect.  I mean used to collect pre-recorded cassette tapes before CDs came out and then I began collecting CDs when the tapes died away.  Now CDs are going the way of the dinosaur and MP3s are all the rage.   I hate MP3s by the way. 

My question to you BAF:  Is there anything left worth collecting anymore?  Anything like snow globes, shot glasses, swizzle sticks?  Anything? 

What do you collect?  Why? 

Pet rocks, sea monkeys, slinky's and Chia heads

I was always afraid that the sea monkeys would grow to the point that they would eventually climb out of their tank take over my house.  They made them look so real in the ads when I was a kid. 

  Evil sea monkeys...

OMG where do you find sea monkeys?  I have looked for them for a while and can't find them.  Are they seasonal?

You can just about find anything on-line these days.

I started a coaster collection a few years ago.  Whenever I travel or friends travel and want to bring back a souvenir, I tell them to get me coasters.  This way I don't end up with random key chains, t-shirts and crap that I'll end up throwing away when I get tired of looking at it. 

I also heard on one of those design shows that it's better to stick to a theme when collecting because it looks better on display and not hodge podge.

Oh yeah and I also have a collection of $2.00 bills, dollar coins and State quarters.

Wow I didn't realize I was such a pack rat .

Good morning to you too, Hugga76.

I hear ya on the coaster thing.  As long as you do stick to one theme then you don't look like a pack rat. 

Everytime someone goes somewhere they bring me back a t-shirt.  When I was heavier the t-shirts would never fit.  I'm talking male-titties and fat rolls everywhere.  Now that I can fit the t-shirts they are so out of style until I'm just like why bother?  It just ends up as a rag to wash my car with anyway.

I've been wanting to start a collection for a while.  My mom collects angels.  My aunt, bells.  My cousin, shot glasses.  My dad, ball caps.  I plan to start my collection of candlesticks later this year.  Namely crystal & porcelain.  Not candles, but candlesticks.  Like these.

Interesting topic, Double Ayy!

Thanks for the luv, Double_Oh_Sexy! 

I remember when people would go on vacations and collect things like shot glasses, for instance, then their friends and family would go on trips and bring back a shot glass or two so that they could be added to the collection. 

Nowadays it seems we are way to busy to do simple enjoyable things like that.
