A home cabinet treasures portrait, about me (my possessions and 'needful-things' stuff). Thanks for reading (Happy Autumn, all)
====
"I moved from India to the States (Philadelphia) when I was a small boy, and I attended a pretty rough inner-city multi-gen school while my parents struggled financially to get our new American life going in the States. It was a difficult time, to say the very-least, but I developed a fascination with Saturday morning cartoons then and Happy Meals toys and cereal-box surprise tokens/trinkets. This would be evolved when my parents managed to take our small family (sister, me, and them, mom/dad) to a very nice suburbia when I was in 4th grade, and I developed a Selfie age interest in sports trading-card storytelling and comic books too."
"I played junior soccer and collected soccer video-games growing up and decided it was at least one of my fave-sports on Earth; and therefore, a terrific old-gen Portugal star-card is something I'm questing for this Xmas, and it's what I've asked my girlfriend to get me; and it pairs (nicely) with my cheers of Portugal-Spain developed world soccer rivalry. It's a needful-thing, especially if you're fascinated by why 'soccer' is called 'football' outside America and why 'football' in America is quite a different sport altogether, with helmets and wrestling of a tougher-grade, but ironically a game also including cleats-equipment."
"A treasure already in my possession, a football trading-card, is a fantastic nod to Thanksgiving-football TV culture and why Detroit's become a modern TV-town for the holiday-season, as it was an auto-factory and music-factory town yesteryear! This Detroit-QB rookie treasure has Super Bowl premonitions written all over it, which is 'extra credit' nice too. When I think of, how as an adult, planning the holiday-season meals at home in Echelon (my suburbia) for family/friends, I think of this QB-card 'trophy' as a reflection of TV-lifestyle qualia, and my girlfriend like it (ha)."
"Yet another treasure is a rough crayon stick-figure 'doodle' rendition of Marvel's She-Hulk, a femme-avatar of great strength-magic in the female variety of heroics/danger storytelling; after all, comic books are a cool reflection of our Earthling fascination with things of transformation, telepathy, and colored readings of self-representation and worries of ethics/customs/governance/terrorism. It's (all) Facebook-like...for the Ego!."
"My Echelon suburbia haven home is a nice studio-space to re-present such needful-things stuff for online storytelling and lifestyle-Selfie share. I think of why these items in my home cabinet in the States remind me why I loved Richie Rich cartoons as youngster; and I don't mind visiting my parents for the holidays either when my sister brings her daughters, my darling-young nieces, to play with some of my childhood things/toys and admire some treasure I might take to show off to them (Facebook-like)."
"When I told my therapist these 'needful-things' help me clarify working-out my feelings of American Dream angst, I realize that such treasures/trophies highlight some potential Shakespearean fascination with the customs/ethos of human civilization that color our language-art of (all) things kinesthesia. Therefore, in conclusion, these 'trophies' are dear to me, for kaleidoscopes of the American experience. Thought I'd share such vanity for the Ego."
