My Life Square

This week’s assignment from the League: My life in one square foot


Last week, we were lamenting about wasting money, and this week’s challenge for the League of Extraordinary Bloggers is a photo assignment…
Photo Assignment: My life in one square foot.
Arrange items that describe you within a 12″ x 12″ space and take a picture. If you want some inspiration, check out these photos on FlickrAdded incentive: The first person who responds to this challenge will get to select next week’s topic.
Once you put up a post on your site, add a comment below with the URL so everyone knows where to find it. Remember to include links to your fellow League members in your article, along with a League logo and link, so other bloggers can learn how to join in the fun.
Blog karma is a good thing — by cross-posting like this, we will help send each other new readers, and receive a few in return. If you would like to join the League, all you need is a love of pop culture and a blog. Come join the fun, and tell your friends!

I've been a busy bee lately, working 2 jobs. Direct sales mornings and retail nights. So, I could include sticky notes, pens, neckties, and big ol' binders in my 12x12 snapshot; but that's no fun!!! So, instead here's the fun, happy go lucky version of my life in a square foot.


I just know I'm missing several key items, but oh well. This is a good chunk of my life here. See anything in there that looks familiar? Tell me about it in the comments! 

Then go check out the rest of The League's life squares:

I know I'm way late on this one, but it's like Brian gave this assignment specifically to me! Just recently I have become fixated on space and all things sci-fi!

Photo dump time!




It all started when I decided to create a LEGO Space City. I wanted to focus on just LEGO, specifically space themed LEGO. Of course, I am way too addicted to toys to be limited to one brand for too long. So, within a week or so I started collecting ANY sci-fi toys and memorabilia I could get my hands on! Robots, aliens, spacemen, all that good stuff. My desk is now littered with cosmic goodies.




I even went so far as to join Instagram as @SpaceMason. I also started a blog specifically for the LEGO Lunar City Project! It's funny, because I just barelly blogged about all this and I didn't realize there was a League assignment. DANG IT! Oh well, it's all good.
I'm not the only obsessed collector out there folks. Check out these guys n' gals:
Jathniel's Spidie sense is tingling over at This Space For Rent!
New comer Matt has a fantastic obsession on The Dusty Shelf!
Good old Hobby lays the smack down in his Monster Cafe!
As usual, Kal has an interesting current fixation in his Canadian Cave of Cool!
Nerd Cantina will horrify you!
That Yellow Duck stocks Walter Sobchak!
Brian of Cool and Collected goes on a binge! 
Pop Rewind drinks up orange drink!
Derek is just straight up possessed with obsession, after all he's the Really Rather Random Guy!
Eric is the Toyriffic King of the Airwaves! 
Vikkiverka is jaded by Charlie Jade!
That Figures latest obsessions are truly legendary!
G.I. Jigsaw is one Muppet of a man! Or is he a manly Muppet?
The Stunt Zombie is obsessed with Glyos yo! 
Branded in the 80's is obsessed with 80s branding!
Everything from Sweet Pickles to Jason and the Scorchers is an obsession where Flashlights Are Something To Eat!
AND, last but certainly not least Rich fixates on The Goldbergs in The Nerd Nook!

What a great turn out this week! This is a wonderful resurgence! Be sure to check out every last one of these guys and share in our obsessions!

Mason Spaces Out

SHEESH! I've been gone for a good long while! Sure, it hasn't been that long, but I was used to posting, like, 3 times a week, and it's been what...almost...A MONTH!?


Blasting off past 100 followers on Instagram! Corny, I know.

Man, sorry about that. I just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't died or anything. I've just been working like mad and I'm currently in between careers. Right now I'm studying for the State Insurance License Exam. I will soon be an independent insurance agent. It will be hard, commissioned work; but I will be able to set my own schedule and I will hopefully be able to whip this lil' blog back into tip top shape!



Out of this world DI finds! Again, corny. But check out these awesome toys!

And speaking of spacing out, I have been able to express my goodhearted geekiness via Instagram @SpaceMason. I have always heavily favored the sci-fi side of nerdom (would that be considered the Dark Side or the Light Side?) and my Instagram account reflects that. Almost every image is in some way sci-fi related! 



So, join me on Instagram and please stand by for more DI treasures. I'm not done yet gosh darn it! I'll keep posting when I'm old and frail and farty! 

P.S.

I am currently working on an orbiting brother blog The Lunar City. There's not much to see right now, but I hope to add more soon!
