A Collection Part 23

So it has been three months since my last “A Collection” post…These are my favorite posts and while they take forever to make, I honestly believe that the more time that goes by, the better these posts turn out to be. I made a promise to Veronica that I would have finished it three weeks ago and here it is. Better late than never.

This collection was created with the theme of being selfless. I never make up these themes beforehand. It is only when I can look through it as a whole that I begin to notice these patterns that arise out of the photographs. I am talking about the Japan Relief and TOMS’ One Day Without Shoes. Sometimes, giving back feels so much larger than us that we are overwhelmed by it, but there are much smaller ways to contribute. You can give back to the people you already know in even the simplest ways.

Nintendo Is Just Like Hip Hop

Believe it or not, when I was little, I was a video game FIEND. I grew up in a culdesac of boys so aside from my Polly Pockets, I was playing almost every Nintendo game imaginable until we upgraded to the N64, PS2, DS, etc etc. We had it all. I don’t have any of the consoles anymore. I wish I had kept them though as some of the consoles have become collector’s items. I looked at purchasing a couple of consoles, but they are hard to get hold of! I scoured the internet but all of the ones that I managed to find cost more than the original consoles cost to buy when they were first released! Luckily you can Download on Gamulator.com and other similar sites, all of the old games that we used to play and you can even play it on a console emulator so it feels like playing the games just I did in my childhood. The only problem is, is that they are just as addictive as I remember, there’s nothing quite like blocking out the world for a few hours and just playing video games like I’m ten years old again with no real responsibilities in the world.

So whoever created this is a genius?
