Room of Champions (DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY)
I first notice the old, creaking, wooden door with a large glowing "Do Not Enter" sign and the shiny, reflective, white letters of stolen street signs from the hick town of Blenheim. I then see the bright, radiant, yellow strips of fire line tape and crime scene tape, that are taped to the door. After opening the door I see a large, queen sized bed in the middle of the room with a striped feather comforter and two pillow cases with comical drawings of an obese cat scratching his chubby stomach. In the corner a wooden desk is situated which is riddled with a large assortment of stickers, varying from clothing companies, skateboard companies and very seductive supermodels. Some are very minuscule others as big as mouse pads. Situated on top of the wooden desk is a tiny, thirteen inch TV/VCR with antenna arms, stretched to the sky. Beside the TV is a Sony CD player and Panasonic receiver. These have the potential power to make one deaf because of their extremely loud b
This room is usually clean except for today, and there when I need a place to sleep. The other closet is much less interesting, having only empty suitcases and outdated clothes from the 1970's such as torn bell bottoms and funky sweaters. The effort put into creating the miniature masks is enormous, for the creators make them look exactly the same as the pro goalies who wear the masks. In the corner, closest to the door is where a dirty clothes hamper is placed containing some dirty, milk ridden No Frills T-shirts, and other sweaters with metal shavings engrained in the fabric, from long shifts at co-op. On top of the dresser is the entire collection of Star Wars Pepsi cans, ranging form the almighty Yoda can to the beautiful and courageous Princess Leia can . Also, on top of the dresser is a collection of MLB ball caps from the 1980's. In the opposite corner, a gigantic dresser containing seven drawers that include T-shirts, shorts, old, worn out, and faded pants, socks and undergarments and an enormous collection of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figurines, some with disfigured limbs and missing weapons. Beside the old pop cans is a miniature hockey mask collection that Mcdonald's restaurant released a few years back. Beside the CD's, a fooseball table is situated with extravagant red men versus evil blue men. Needless to say, I spend most of my time here, in my bedroom. I can't forget to examine the collection of student cards that I have been keeping since grade nine. The wall above the desk has many strange and odd little mementos hanging from it including pictures, notes, toys, and skateboarding company tags that come off the product when you buy them. On the walls of this room hang posters from the Star Wars movies, the South Park TV show, Sport Stars, Adult Magazines, and last, but certainly most important, dozens of posters with skateboarders doing a variety of switch and regular tricks. The receiver is hooked up to two, six inch speakers and two, three foot floor speakers (one of which is blown because of improper use).
