So, I found a special value-rich culture trophy for my Selfie age of incomplete-distances readings of the leviathan/uncertainty of exchange-nets commentary for competition and superstition for capitalism 'class' after making $15M on Wall-St. during the '09 mini-crash (Ford) and found special storyboard-laurel to cast the item on the social network for fortune and risk languages for all (Facebook-like!).



Friends, this trophy of trading-card significance(s), a Thanksgiving-football TV culture reflection image in the West (American Homeland) that appealed to our Earth world IQ of holiday-season contests of great capitalism 'richness' for the Ego. The card, a Score-treasure, was sold (to me!) for only $30 on the Internet from a trusted-seller, for a mint-condition purchase word for a share/charm. Sure, the $30 price-tag was modestly high for a small cardboard-piece of possession, but you'd not necessarily think/know the card, featuring a 'fantastic' celeb-star athlete, was claimed by merchants all around our Blue-Planet to be maybe at least $50-100 for used-condition paper and maybe as high as $1K for mint-condition paper (wow). I had this piece for $30 now, and it was the best birthday/Xmas present I could write about for Earthlings to draw (even!) Martian-envy for the Ego.



GIRLFRIEND: You need some Western Chinatown egg drop soup now for pillow.
ME: I don't doubt it, darling; I feel like Willy Wonka (or someone).
GIRLFRIEND: What's your story about online, Wall Street and Detroit-football?
ME: It's about an immigrant who finds gold and seeks the complete dream.
GIRLFRIEND: Reflection for you, sir?
ME: Maybe it may be...and I'd ask you to marry me (for it).
GIRLFRIEND: That's Thanksgiving (soup).



STORY-EXCERPT: "The prince had found everything he needed on Earth...and he then found a video-game 'cool' with his darling-son (Damian) worth its weight in life-pillows jeans for any given Sunday...while Damian commented on why/how the team he chose for this Sunday-contest with dad on Xbox was a clear '25-NFL season shining, the prince wondered if mother/wife would somehow become an Xbox fan too for Wall Street jeans...but was the American Dream simply money or work for the prince of this fantasy?"
