For me its sports. I wake up at 4:00 A:M every morning and run and go to the gym ( Old army habit, go joe!! ) and enjoy outdoor activities but the thought of spending 6 hours on a Saturday or Sunday watching sports makes me crazy. Lets put things in perspective. If I watched sports, drank ber all the time and spent 30-40,000 dollars on a muscle car or motocycle I would be socially accepted and be a tough guy, but I spend about 100 dollars every couple months ( when new waves come out) on 6 action figures and 4 vehicles and I am considered a reckless idiot who has no money put aside for the future! I am tired of people telling me that collecting things is a waste of time and money. If it brings me enjoyment and takes away stress who cares? How many people smoke cigs or drink alchohol EVERY DAY to unwind? Everytime I spend 7.99 on a joy, it take me back my childhood hunting joes with my father ( My father collected die cast contruction machinery, and we went to all the New York are toy conventions together) and unfortunately he is not with us anymore, so everytime I get a joe I feel a little closer to him somehow and thatys all that matters. There is nothing wrong with connecting with your past as long as it is not affecting your life ( not paying bills, losing your job, etc...). Anyways, the point is we as collectors scare and threaten people who do not have anything they are passionate about so $%&* them for hating!!

Harry Potter. Don't like the books. Don't like the movies. Don't like magic.
The "I have no father and look to another man as a father figure and he wants nothing to do with it until the end" movies. I'm looking at you Jurrasic Park 1 and 3. Reality shows. Sushi.

Star Wars - I like the first ones, loved it when it was something fresh and new, but now it's little more than George Lucas' personal ATM. He'll put a little something out every few years to keep the fans talking and sell more versions of the same characters that have been done a million times over. I know we have SW fans here, and I mean no disrespect to you guys. Honestly I feel a lot of Star Wars fans get taken because they are so loyal.
Disney Movies (especially Pixar stuff) - Yep I said it. All of it's formulaic, Disney, in my opinion really hasn't done anything groundbreaking for quite some time. And I wanted to slap my buddy for actually thinking who Syndrome was in "The Incredibles" was actually an awesome twist. "SAW" Movies - They aren't these badass horror masterpieces everyone makes them out to be. Nintendo Wii - Made me feel old. I couldn't even just pick up "Super Mario Galaxy" and run and jump on an enemies head to squash them. I had to wave one hand and press like five buttons just to make him run... Even worse, my kids (frustrated) took the controller out of my hands to show me how to do it...just like I did to my dad with the NES 20 years ago...

Friends (the TV show): I never saw the appeal in that show. I watched a few episodes and didn't even crack a smile.
Today's movies: Why the hell does Hollywood find it necessary to have a damn love story and a happy ending in most movies? Give us some grit! Hannah Montana: why do I have to walk in Wal-Mart and see a display of her pic down every other aisle? Brittany Spears: 'nuff said Will Ferrel: doesn't do anything for me Clerks 2: could have done without |

meeting people that like the same things I do.... Really, you're all great on the internet and the typing. But nothing is worse than meeting someone and being told "you guys are so much alike, he likes starwars... or toys... or g.i.joe... or comic books..." I can't stand "talking" with people about those things (my wife occasionally, but only because she doesn't care) Other than on-line (you guys are great) I have no friends that have anything to do with any-sort of collecting and that's the way i want to keep it. So when an in-law or co-worker thinks I should really meet this person because we like the same sort of things... I stay far far away from 'em.
