so I stopped collecting comic books a while ago.

I have a huge gambit collection - basically ever figure and statue made from his inception to about 2002... I have many of the key comics which feature the cajun although I know I am missing severl important runs and individual comics (like uncanny #273 where gambit kicks wolverine's ass - it's true - look it up...)

but I've stopped collecting. I don't know if it's because I feel that I have matured enough to put all of this behind me or I'm just too lazy to go through the work to track down and buy all of the things I am missing, or if I am just overwhelmed by the amount that I do not have... because technically there is really no end until the x-men are finished and gone...

[oh - and what's the deal about killing off gambit in the ultimate x-men series?]

there were rumors about josh holloway (sawyer from lost) playing gambit in x3, but that's out... I heard keanu wanted to play him as well... I'd vote for sawyer over neo though, although I think gambit is a little more lean than sawyer and much more smooth... but he's an actor, so maybe he can act...

but I digress, so the question remains...
do I keep all my gambit stuff, of do I pull a 40-year old virgin and sell all my stuff?

right now, it's just taking up space in my closet in the spare bedroom...

do I end it, calling the race done... or do I keep running and finish the race...

I don't know... I just don't know.
