"I was happily living in Boston (Mass.) and doing my careful-nerdist 'examination' of black market motions for world commerce/treasure insurance integrity 'jitters' for eco-capitalism and 'blood-diamond' languages seeping out of Africa and into varied rogue-finance story pockets (e.g., Palestinians-radicals, Chicago underworld) for Selfie-IQ of my Boston-town 'famous' jewelry store for Xmas-consumerism (Facebook-like)."

"Why would a 'prince' like me spot a UFO in New England? There I was, camping in a New England forest, outside Boston (Mass.) and writing journal notes about eco-capitalism (etc.) when I saw the silver small space-craft with neon lights land and insist s/he was some messenger and inquirer of Earth world commerce and lifestyle (for personal lab-work). Why Boston? The alien inside the craft was half-male and half-female and insisted s/he was from Mars and wanted a New England 'expression' for streets/commerce IQ for some personal note-study, in the Blue Planet ocean-abyss (his/her 'lair'). I didn't know what to think or say but promised the Martian I'd adapt this 'first-contact' into a time-capsule tell which I'd bury in my New England backyard for future-archaeological 'discovery' of my capitalist/Selfie society (damn)."

MARTIAN: Are you Catholic, Bostonian?
ME: I'm a Slovak-Algerian Catholic convert/immigrant/citizen, yeah!

MARTIAN: Your study of eco-capitalism is highwayman imagery, yes?

ME: That's the truth...pockets of treasure-controls makes for sociology, yeah.

MARTIAN: You have competitive games offering victors treasures/prizes.

ME: That's true...the Lombardi-trophy, for example, is 'jewelry' in ways, ok.

MARTIAN: You're concerned about towns/teams biases for 'jewelry' wars, yes?

ME: You can find such documentary-imagery on our social-media (YouTube!).

MARTIAN: That's of interest...I'm a private anthropologist/economist, human!

ME: I'll keep this secret, as you noted...and time-capsule tell of Earth-banks.

MARTIAN: Good (Facebook-like).

"I've time-capsule written this account of Martian-intrigue for backyard burial, and now I shall enhance the 'record' with a voice-reading of this 'account' for future archaeologists...and perhaps our inquiring Martian shall still be down there (somehow), taking journal-notes on qualia of Earth/Boston fortune and commerce and media motions of things of stalemate and darkness and joy and football (for the Ego)."
