Narrator describes why a fortune-teller moved him to make a social media (North American) culture 'reading' of things of sportsmanship-stabilized citizenry maps.

A world activity and social media portrait/fiction.

I was in Times-Sq. thinking deeply (now!) about post-9/11 era American Homeland 'jitters' cast by the devastation of the world-commerce activity reflection World Trade Center in NYC when I came across a gypsy fortune-teller (Esmerelda) who insisted I'd find some lucky sports universe investment 'IQ' for things of my Selfie age of incomplete-distances readings of leviathan/uncertainty/ambitions.



ESMERELDA: Where were you on 9/11, and did you witness it (all)?
ME: Madam, I suppose I can tell you I was in a hotel room watching all on TV.
ESMERELDA: Well, such fortune disaster imagery draws you to a social media duty!
ME: Duty, Esmerelda?
ESMERELDA: Find a special sports commentary 'culture' trophy for storywriting, pal.
ME: A sports-card, but what sport, madam?
ESMERELDA: Something to contrast the wispy black-smoke of NYC on 9/11, pal.
ME: How about ice-hockey (Facebook-like)?
ESMERELDA: Good luck, pal.



Esmerelda was right about my new 'duty-IQ' for my witness ID as an American Homeland resident and blogger; and so, I set-out to make for 'discovery' of this special ice-hockey sports trading card for a sportsmanship imagery for social media culture commentary and lifestyle intuition, to contrast that black wispy smoke emanating out of the World Trade Center on 9/11, for a Facebook-jar worth its weight in Earthling shake (for the Ego).



So, I found a Quaker-St. ice-hockey 'trophy' (O-Pee-Chee) worth an ice-glide and competitive helmet-line for Earthling vanities and social media lifestyle commentary. The card featured a laureled North American athlete of great caliber/creativity and cast me as a storywriting 'prince' of the quality of ice-sport image contour for pedestrian/consumer shock-therapy in my Selfie age of incomplete-arts of things of leviathan/uncertainty (for the Ego). Had Esmerelda, the fortune-teller of Times-Sq., drawn me to some world-reading of things of sanity superstition (for scores/sidelines)? What do you think (Facebook-like)?
