A travel-journal tale.

I'd been a fan of trains all my life, and it was one special train ride that drew my incomplete-distances interest to catch the experience in this written journal time-capsule which I consider a nice social media culture 'expression' for lifestyle-drawn environmental consciousness (for the Ego).

I never go on trains without my handy-dandy protection-charm, a special faerie-figurine doll-statue ('Ezzy'), and I consider it my special superstition-item which I've never really talked about, even with my Catholic buddies (online). Of course, Ezzy was on this special train-ride (with me), and I think I'll post something about her on social media (someday!).

I decided on this special train-ride to seek-out special passenger who'd feel like ideal conversation-folks, to try to 'feel' more sociable (for change!). Well, the folks for chat(s) I decided to engage with was a dashing couple (Teddy/Marla), and I learned they were Bohemian-types seeking a special organic-farming venture somewhere in the Northwest (Oregon?). I learned to think more freshly about encountering Bohemians rather randomly. I'd return to this couple following my next-two conversation 'examinations' relevant for this journal-write (perhaps for a Facebook-like).

SHELBYE: I've played tennis in high-school and now I'm a coach for a youth-club!

ME: Very cool, Shelbye; I get this feeling your ebullience with teamwork's love.

SHELBYE: Are you flirting with me, good-man?
ME: Perchance...but I'm to complete this conversation-rotation 'test' (first), hon.

SHELBYE: Let's see what you might make for discovery on train (Facebook-poke).

ME: Thanx (see ya).

After these 1st-2 'examinations' (Teddy/Marla/Shelbye), I met an English cabbie lady named Katie who seemed to know a good deal about cars, something I truly love. Now, I felt vexed. I was 'forward' with Shelbye and fell for her charm, but now Katie seemed to be the more 'magnetic' human for my taste, and now I wasn't sure what to say (stranger). I told her I was happy to chat with her on this 'special' train about Volvos and Nissans and might encounter her (future) for a Facebook-like materiality.

TEDDY: "You see, I found this train-ride journal from this courteous/curious Algerian-American man, who was thrown off the train (by some bloody-murderer if it wasn't the 'claimed' suicide); uncertain of what to do, I kept his journal for public disclosures, perchance to yield some insight into the nature of the man and therefore draw some 'bureaucracy' cues pertaining to the target of who'd be responsible for the 'execution' of a man with such a personality (hmmm); in fact, I was anticipating with my wife (Marla) he'd return to our seat-section on the 'special' train to talk about his apparent interest in Jack-the-Ripper paranoia/cinema (wow)."
