Bartleby: Madrid's Emoji

The reflective American bureaucrat makes a jaunt for a Madrid 'exercise' in the media-imaged world of Earth's hospitality.

Bartleby decided to leave behind his American world of comforts and amenity and travel to some place exotic and learn about the world of sportsmanship and storytelling and opted to go to Madrid (Spain) where there'd been a special place in the folk-spirits of the world-sport of soccer, or as it was called in Europe, football!

BARTLEBY: "As a commerce-consultant and bureaucrat of New England, I consider my extra-credit life as an ice-hockey coach quite extra-ordinary, and I liked making posts/comments/stories about sportsmanship/friendship on social-media, but now I need a 'Madrid-exercise' for a special view of the personality behind modern Earth-transit consciousness...perhaps to share with others on Facebook (etc.)."

Bartleby landed in Spain (Madrid) and started taking photos of the scenes and hubs and eateries with his handy iPhone and prepared a cool superstition-storybook for modern capitalist race life on Earth and wanted to simply 'breathe' the magic of the Euro-examination.

BARTLEBY: I've found a 'fantastic' World-Cup (soccer/football) sportsmanship trade-card of the celebrity-Spanish soccer star/captain David Villa and hope to draw an inspiration of the world-media ideation of network-driven superstitions/Ego.

He met this beautiful Madrid beauty, who happened to be an excellent social-media posting/commentary fan of David Villa's winning Spanish side of the 2010 World Cup (South Africa), a dazzling woman named Esmerelda who loved music and Spanish food and decided to become Bartleby's special 'bureaucracy-guide' in this Euro-examination of all that'd become social-media 'worthy' for imagery concerning the flowery of Earth's religion.

BARTLEBY: "Perhaps all the fun/transit of the Madrid-exchange makes for a journal or photo-examination of all that's commerce-reflection in Spain's special intelligence/intuition concerning the 'matrix' of Romanticism...or hospitality."

ESMERELDA: I've this gorgeous World-Cup soccer-video game for Spanish simulation!

BARTLEBY: Excellence; this is all a 'playspace' for inventions in acrobatics!

Bartleby was in love with Esmerelda ('Ezzy') and took her on long bus-rides and kissed her as he took in all the traffic-magic and storytelling inspirations which would perhaps draw in him a special magic back in America concerning his social-media friendly tales-of-Wanderlust (wow).

ESMERELDA: What'd you find most 'shining' about Madrid's diners, Bartleby?
BARTLEBY: The idea of shared-company yielding a 'taste' for dough (and football!), darling.
