"There I had become a special wanderer of the American Homeland in the Summer-'25 season of cross-coastal travel for hotel-lounge hopping journal activity energizer-IQ, carrying with me my Polaroid and my crayon stick-figure antiterrorism/patriotism comics drawn doodle avatar antihero-god figure to see what kinds of Western travelers would cross my path to stimulate ideas/words of incidental people-sighting for Western continental traffic-mapping and face-etching for securities 'feelings' (Selfie-like)."



TRAVELER: Nice doodle, sir.
ME: Thanx...it represents some antiterrorism jitters from a cool-comic!
TRAVELER: What do you do?
ME: Writing/composing special Homeland-trek faces-journal (pillows!).
TRAVELER: What does your special stick-figure deity represent, fool?
ME: It can represent any random hotel-lobby visitor/trekker, like you!
TRAVELER: Where were you on 9/11, friend?
ME: In a Summer-hotel stay room, watching on TV, ironically (wow).
TRAVELER: Well, happy arts to ya, Captain America (ok).
ME: Farewell (Facebook-like).



"I'd hopped across so many places and seen so many hotel lounges/lobbies and watched TV too; Inn-Express, Springhill, Wyndham, Courtyard, Ramada, and Hyatt were but some special-ones to name, reflective of modern tourism/traveler hospitality-securities feelings for the Ego. Well, I didn't talk to any/all travelers who happened to notice me, sitting and writing and taking iPhone-shots. However, a few asked me about my stick-figure antiterrorism-god doodle (for leviathan/uncertainty). I felt quite...kid-like."



TRAVELER: Well, this terrorism-doodle looks like antihero, man.
ME: It/he is...drawn from a comic I read as a boy, friend (ok).
TRAVELER: You look pensive, with your soda and journal-pen here.
ME: I take notes of who I see in hotel lounges, crafting my trek-write.
TRAVELER: This stick-figure comic-man is some 'god' of Earth-jitters.
ME: Why, that's right, friend.
TRAVELER: What's your secret, arty-man (eh)?
ME: It's an Earthling-kiln I craft (onside-midways), ha.
TRAVELER: Good luck.
