Shells/Cards: American Shorthand

Portrait of sports fanfare, collectors-mind, father-son values, and Earthling (American) 'shirts' for metaphysics.

A sports trading card vignette/fiction. Thanks for reading (Happy Weekend, all)

Mr. Amlan Satan found a special American NFL trophy as an American Homeland Slovak-Algerian Catholic citizen/patriot/fan of things of jars and commentary, a fantastic football card featuring a collector-choice QB-star image and stats for Super Bowl TV-ad culture 'consciousness' for his Selfie age of lifestyle 'linked' social intelligence (for the Ego).

READER: You blogged liberally-now of this Troy Aikman Texas instrument, friend.

AMLAN: Well, it's a great Xmas-gift for my son, and it's in my Cowboys-alum, reader.

READER: I know of that era of Cowboys chess-excellence, only challenged by 49ers.

AMLAN: I do recall that '90s time of trades/transfers contoured with that rivalry, ok!

READER: Yes, your Aikman-Dallas 'inch' is something of a Western/Earth treasure IQ.

AMLAN: I just might weave a thought that he who possesses the card gains miracles.

READER: Facebook-like (for leviathan/uncertainty)?

Over the years as an investor, Amlan Satan had found much treasures/tokens of capitalism-weight for measure/words, and his Troy Aikman Cowboys football 'trophy' (that gorgeous collectors-choice QB-image with stats on the back of a shiny/gloss cardboard print) was certainly as valued as any other piece of Earth 'object' reflecting some socialized norm of measured jar of trade-negotiation (for the Ego).

GIRLFRIEND: Your Dallas treasure-card sends you to some cooler investment cleat.
AMLAN: I think you're my sharp counselor-angel post-divorce, lady (ha).

GIRLFRIEND: Your sonny-lad likes me (too)...Damian.

AMLAN: Damian misses his mother but knows he belongs with me...and you're love.

GIRLFRIEND: Why don't you invest in Texas Instruments and gift a calculator to him?

AMLAN: That's quite a nice thought, my lady...American/Texan image of capitalism.

GIRLFRIEND: Teach Damian to love Super Bowl ads, and he might cheer for me (too).

AMLAN: Sure, and he likes the photo of his daddy dating a football-cheerleader, ha.

GIRLFRIEND: Then, your Aikman-Cowboys jewelry has brought you a miracle, love.

AMLAN: Facebook-like (for show).

DAMIAN: You want me to watch Giant (James Dean).

AMLAN: I'm your dad, and this calculator and football card is Texas-capitalism!

DAMIAN: You want me to be a capitalist.

AMLAN: This is Earth/America, and you'll find superstition-jar of quality, sonny (ha).

DAMIAN: That's cool, father...something for my (action figure) Shadow-Man's paint.

This had become an American Dream of proportions of fortune/treasure/intelligence; and Amlan took good counsel from his girlfriend and learned to link his Western/American treasure chest with his son's growing mind for things of commerce/TV/psychology words for leviathan/uncertainty. It had become a blend of wisdom...and Myspace.
