This was my bedroom from 1994 to 2003.
I took this picture on September 27th, 2003, probably because that's around the time when my parents told us that we were moving to Ontario. I probably wanted to immortalize it in my memory and on film...a habit I've gotten into when moving away from subsequent residences.
Of all the bedrooms I've had, this was the one I personalized the most. Well, either this one, or the one in Scarborough from 2004 to 2010.
Anyway, let's see what we can identify here, going from left to right:
-A mirror, with a drawing of a car above it.
-A Lego truck, a can of body spray?, and a spider plant at lower left.
-An orange plant, a hanging plant, a Ferrari logo drawing, and a Lego space robot on the shelf above it.
-A cardboard whale and calf hanging above the desk.
-My eMac on the desk, with an Algebra/Trigonometry textbook that I was no doubt resenting.
-A class schedule above my computer.
-A Pringles can with pens in it that I still use every day in 2022.
-A wooden ornament that I or my dad made.
-A Smucker's jam jar for some reason.
-Miscellaneous crap.
-What looks like my Panasonic discman on the shelf.
-A few printed pictures of drumsets.
-A flyer for my friend's band, The Pedestrians.
-A bunch of car logos that I drew.
-A few "Racism Sucks" stickers on the window frame.
-Little statues of The Undertaker and Bret Hart.
-A tube of M&Ms.
-What looks like a stack of APS film containers.
-My Sony clock radio that I got in 1996, on top of my first CD tower. I used it until I moved to my current residence in 2021.
-A horizontal CD tower that I also still have.
-A blue hook on the beam-shelf.
-A stick of Old Spice deodorant.
-A multi-band radio that my grandfather gave to me. It doesn't work anymore, but I could tune it to police, airport, and other frequencies.
-Various nasal sprays (What? I'm human!).
-The bedside table which I still use in 2022.
-Above the window, a shitty cardboard art piece, next to Han Solo, Shang Tsung, Smoke, and Raiden.
-A water/bubble toy thing on the windowsill.
-More car logos I drew, and a printed picture of Neil Peart.
-Behind the bed, a photo of Obi-Wan Kenobi on the Death Star.
-A medal from the cottage olympics, and a poster of Yakko from Animaniacs.
-An antique twin bed that I slept on from childhood until I moved out at the age of 24.
-On the headboard, some Spice Girls stickers, a Jamaica sticker, a Jurassic Park sticker, and a few others.
-On the bed, a dumbell, a box, and some other junk, on top of a blanket my great-grandmother knit for me as a baby/before I was born.

Way out in the middle of nowhere, on the way to our campsite, I spotted this. I don't know who the artist is, but I thought it was awesome.
This is SOOC except for a crop. Best viewed large.
