Everything
My love, my everything! That’s it; you’re my everything, and everything includes love. You’re my everything, my love. What more could I say? I think that I said the most important thing there is. The rest of the time, I’ll keep writing you rhymes and sexy stories, pained, of course, that everything between us would still remain only words and a few images. Waiting is time flying that we never get back. I don’t know if it’s a good bet with love. Things happen. I can die. It can happen out of the blue or slowly, but that’s not the point. I could survive but you’ll still be occupied. So, this relationship will always be platonic, with words and images that mean, it’s a little more. You’re my everything even covers what I’ve just mentioned. So, you can forget it. I just wanted to show you what everything means. EVERYTHING for me you are and mean. But why?

Dazed and Depressed
This is Part Three Part One - Alberta Is Also a Catfish Part Two - Invisible Lies My first misadventure in online dating continued reluctantly following my meeting with a catfish and my encounter with another liar. What could I expect after these two flops? A third time is rarely a charm. There was no third time, however, since this relationship-hunting web made me sadder than I have been in the past few months.

Invisible Lies
This is Part Two Part One - Alberta Is Also a Catfish My first adventure in online dating continued somewhat counterintuitively following my “meeting” with a catfish. What could a new catch be in a world where shame had lost its raison d’être; where excuses can be always justified by some injustice that needs too much change to occur and hold to be ever forgotten; and where masks have layers, with the maiden one too deep to be found? Unlike the catfish, this woman was verified, with five pictures that emanated both beauty and sadness.

Alberta Is Also A Catfish
One of the ten provinces of Canada, Alberta is mostly known for its oil and gas industries as well as its livestock and agriculture sectors. This story, however, is about another Alberta, a woman who, like in the photo above, could reflect a virtual image of beauty and innocence, when in reality she was playing the role of a catfish, which can also be found in Alberta’s lakes, the stonecat being the only native member of the catfish family.

Two Lives to Live
One déjà vu is already one too many, but one every other day, sometimes one each day, can be distracting and eventually unsettling. It can be, of course, the beginning of dementia, or simply the start of the slowing-to-a-crawl of the mind. Of course, a déjà vu can only occur once.

O Father
Athena (A): Why are you still asleep? Athena asked in His mind. It is time to awake, O Father, God of the World and all its mortals and immortals! I was awakened by the love of two mortals in one; a man with two personalities who never gave up on bringing me back, with one personality leaving home and moving to Greece to find me, and the other personality remaining behind until fate guided him to Athens both for me and for her, a woman who carries his soul since her birth.
