Clerks: Corduroy Rulers

Narrated vignette of post-grad traveling-man who's pensive about Earth-traffic/terror but seeks 'forms' of discovery of commerce-life/travel mist.

A journal-vignette about tourism and terrorism fears, inspired by various media/movies. 

DISCLAIMER: This work of politics-storytelling and world-journalism offers no legal/formal views tied to the history of Lucknow or any media-affiliate or 'official' commercial initiative invested in the historically 'troubled' regions of post-9/11 era Earth and is therefore presented as a (fictional) work of personal definition.

I had been traveling around the world with my handy/nifty sci-fi/fantasy themed (cinema) chess-set and creating personal notes on delicate nuances in intelligence between capitalism diagrams in modern globalism and chess-insights reminiscent of Cold-War 'social media' (Fischer-Spassky chess-champions rivalry) and thought about how modern commerce/media life promoted a new brand of youth-intelligence for competition sanity (wow).

My name's Amlan Satan and I decided after graduating from Dartmouth to travel for a Lucknow 'clerks' journal about securities in commerce/consumerism intelligence in this new era of terrorism-woes and knew about the sacred environmental beauty of the Lucknow area of southeast-Asia but also the dangers of terrorism in its history. I decided to cast myself as a social-media messenger of the Lucknow 'scene' and connected with others on the New-Porcellian cyber-chess society (North America) to talk about 'links' between tourism and education (hmm).

When I got to Lucknow, I got to this amazing market area inside a super-store center in the environmentally scenic lands of southeast-Asia, arguably as scenic/magical as Switzerland itself if not as well-known and certainly more 'fraught' with terrorism tribulations. When I was inside the market-place, I took stock of the images of commerce-life splendor and ornaments/treasures to be found in this region of Earth and why Martians would envy such a 'corduroy' place of the Ego. This is great style and substance for capitalism theory (really), even if you don't care about world-news or chess/tourism/journalism (ha).

Of course, there's many places on Earth it seems that would be lovely places to see and find things but are truly dangerous or 'endangered' like Belfast and Lucknow, despite the world-journalism potential (on social-media too!) which would otherwise cast such 'domains' as fertile areas of great photo-magic (yeah). In fact, when I was wandering around this 'Lucknow-Corduroy' store area, I wondered what the symbolism behind 'veiled' environments was for the Earth-race of capitalism chess/treasures.

JOURNAL: This store is great and is under 'cool' skies, but the interiors may remind us of the darkness of manmade Ego/fury.

When I got to other places during my Lucknow trip and proceeded to cast my special world-chess capitalism ideation 'journal' about the quality of securities in the modern age of terrorism paranoia, I realized that consumerism-culture's convenience consciousness was somehow 'deformed' by this modern fear of observed 'overground' terrorism and felt suddenly sad, as if terrorism was a 'manmade malignancy' nothing unlike eco-pollution (wow). Why wasn't capitalism-theory solving this dilemma of man's ugliness, we wonder?

I had a dream in Lucknow that I'd become a store-clerk selling sports-cards of baseball and cricket, which are popular in America/India, respectively, and while I was selling movie posters from Hollywood/Bollywood, the movie-industry namesakes of America/India, respectively, I was approached by a mysterious Hungarian man claiming he was a Martian disguised as a humanoid seeking examinations of the capitalism 'troubles' on Earth and man's 'corduroy-artistic' responses.

MARTIAN: You breathe-in all these 'fineries' of commerce-life/media and yet completely fail to integrate values of networks?

ME (in dream-sleep): Perhaps we humans are 'basic' wandering sleepwalkers in convenience-IQ consumerism needing comfort.

MARTIAN: Be wary, curious princely human, for such 'basic' want of comforts may only breed an apathy of 'race' evolution!

When I woke from the strange dream-message experience while sleeping, I decided I'd been to vain about commerce-life comforts and expectation and decided to return to that Lucknow store-center and purchased a movie/media/arts print inside one of the shops selling Western goods/ornaments depicting a host of aliens playing poker and musing about mankind's apparent lack of 'governance' over capitalism creating 'musings' of humor and indulgence-pastimes and brought it back to my apartment in New England (North America).

JOURNAL: What if Martians were 'entertained' by human senses of comforts, and we humans felt 'jolly' about shared humor?

Terrorism is a real problem/dilemma and it's really as 'dark' as eco-pollution and we need to engage more 'clerks' and citizenry in the social-media landscape to create more bright journals/chats about the 'chess' of world-governance storytelling. We might derive 'cool' tales of tourists finding themselves in heroics-spots for 'diamond deeds' and stalemated peace rationalism (wow).

JOURNAL: The antonym of peace is anarchy; the cure to conscious sanity (or evil!) is willed self-idealization for our network.

When I was in the United States, my girlfriend Shelbye commented I'd become a Patriots fanatic because of Super Bowl media/mystique and reminded me of her own hometown Eagles fanfare which generated quite a 'fair-deal' for sports-rivalry oriented 'leverage' diluting the power-aura of the Patriots of New England and reminded all Americans of the general field of sportsmanship equilibrium created by underdog-triumphs.

SHELBYE: You might consider how the Eagles-trophy should remind you to keep all 'treasures' glories in 'sane' temperance.

ME: Oh, c'mon --- the Patriots were simply dominating all teams before that Eagles achievement, honey-bee!

SHELBYE: Excellence.

I realized Shelbye was right. I got myself a double-set sports-media/market replica card pair, a 'cool' Strike-Force original red-print edition and a replica silver-edition Randall Cunningham post-Eagles career (Upper Deck) Super Bowl ambitions-symbolism pair (Viking-QB) which reminded folks in the year 1999 that even a Philly-star/celeb might seek a different team/home for humbling Super Bowl daydreams eluding him in his hometown! I thought about Shelbye's comment about being a Patriots-fanatic and how the Strike-Force Cunningham-QB post-Eagles career double-set of pro-football spirits cards represented a commerce-life 'consciousness' regarding 'tempered' capitalism fantasies/indulgences.

JOURNAL: Free-agency era corruption sullied sports-fanfare idealism, but Cunningham's Viking-trade may be optimism-chess.

Now, at home in the West, with my new replica-set Strike-Force football-card treasures of capitalism 'magic' and optimism, I think about that 'tourism-journal' journey to historically 'troubled' but scenic Lucknow (southeast-Asia) and how I feared that terrorism/piracy was destroying the human race 'chess' ideation of capitalism-global controls facilitating true beauty or storytelling. Perhaps what we all need is some kind of 'cyber-citizenry' engaged Earth-capitalism miracle (like a shared tourism social-media network capturing a modern fascination with discovery of beauty in this time of...fog).
