Friends, I had been cheering my special American baseball pitcher trading card of incomplete-arts of competition languages for Earth world personality in risk/chance zeal in the post-9/11 American Homeland for social media jars of shockwaves (for fiction!). Follow along, Facebook-like.

Sure, baseball had become an American letter of things of superstition and resilience iconography, and the 9/11 devastation of the World Trade Center (NYC) signaled an eerie wake-up for globalism-rhetoric frailty and world-exchanges volatility for capitalism's arms of leviathan/uncertainty. It sure made my baseball trading-card a high-art thing of shade jars (for the Ego).

My (Upper-Deck) baseball card spotlighted an award-earning American pitched whose (democratic!) contributions to his respected field team of great strides, stats, and Series vanity made him something of a Blue-Planet 'messenger' of things of what made competition capitalism's special hat/trick of superstition words (for fortune!).

I had to recount my college/school days reading(s) of a special note-delivery of everyday street-life complicated by manmade-bureaucracy art(s) 'troubles' of things of manmade social/political distances for hat/tricks/veils/leviathan/uncertainty. Well, suddenly my Upper Deck 'diamond' seemed to be something of my own personal American Homeland class image of simplified jellyfish (for the Ego!).

GIRLFRIEND: Thanx for coming with me to the Star Wars convention, love.

ME: I like it here...fan of Empire Strikes Back (Mark Hamill), lovely.

GIRLFRIEND: Why'd you bring that thing?

ME: I wanted to show my Upper Deck collection-mark to science/space pals.

GIRLFRIEND: What's it?

ME: Competition's shorthand (American shelves).

GIRLFRIEND: Cool (patriot).
