A Card for America {Claims}

A Story by Abishai100
"

Portrait of sports/cards fun and Autumn/Halloween social magic for inventive shared-space thermals for quiet engineering.

"
A sports culture vignette about mindful inventions in social/seasonal/theoretical dogma.

There I was, thinking deeply about my new American Homeland sports (football) trophy-item, a collector's card of great new-gen (21st-Century) field athletes potential and interest for fans/investors, a Cleveland card of new-look league offense/defense wages for competition and future-success prediction, and I began to think this fascination somehow (magically?) coincided with what made Autumn and Halloween, the inception-time of the NFL, a Selfie-culture 'chance' to link social commentary with personal/emotional (human) living (Facebook-like?).



This new-gen QB-card was hot. I was happy to own it. I liked collecting sports-trade cards (football, baseball, ice-hockey) since I was a kid; and I boasted some pretty wonderful items, like Barry Bonds and Bo Jackson and Matt Stafford rookie-cards...but this Cleveland QB-card of new-gen American football 'IQ' was quite the right-ticket to make me feel immersed in the Autumn/Halloween season of NFL season '24 inception/establishment (for the Ego!).



GIRLFRIEND: You should make recordings of your fan comments about the NFL.
ME: What's it?
GIRLFRIEND: Think about it...reflect on your mapping of culture with...you!
ME: Therapy for sports-TV culture fascination for contests/Halloween.
GIRLFRIEND: You said it...link the living world with feelings of TV-culture.
ME: Atmospherics...good for superstitions examination, right (sharp).
GIRLFRIEND: Maybe you'll think of me as part of your 'American' formula.
ME: Ha.



My girlfriend was dead-accurate, and I decided to augment my Halloween/Cleveland sports fan-commentary 'consciousness' by asking her to make me one of her 'fantastic' pumpkin-art renderings, so I'd feel like her love of Autumn would link (magically?) with my love of '24 NFL inception-time football for life/atmospherics. Well, maybe that Cleveland QB-card 'trophy' of great promises would infuse something extra credit in me, for American cleats (hmmm). I didn't want my card collection to become obsession; and maybe I found the 'formula' for making culture something of a (shared) ant-space...for leviathan/uncertainty.

No, more like Fellini's Satyricon.

The world's so complex it seems to me that articles of treasure/culture make for thermal borders, no?

Thanx for asking

I'm assuming this is satire.
