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.

The Week of Four Thursdays
This French expression, dating from the 15th century, evolved from two to four Thursdays. At the time, Thursday represented the children’s day of rest but also the fat day when one could eat at will in the religious sense. This ideal inspired dreams but was, of course, impossible. I wonder if it can be granted, after all.

Liebook
Liebook - The Lie Social Network Unlike Assbook where all members are Asses, and Prickbook where all members are Pricks, in Liebook, all members are Lies; real lies. Your Liebook picture or avatar is of your lie. A lie has no sex or gender since a lie is a lie. It is just a pretender. But what if you wanted to compare between Lies or even cross-reference them! Whether the lie originated from a specifically labelled entity is of no interest whatsoever on this website. Liebook frankly will not care what you are or think that you are on this website. Liebook only wants Lies; as many as could fill a world and even expand to the Moon and who knows perhaps even to Mars. It is one of the few Liebook rules.

Aesthetics
Whether one considers aesthetics as a set of principles concerning the nature and appreciation of beauty, or the branch of philosophy dealing with issues of beauty and artistic taste, aesthetics do matter in life and even in death, no matter if they may appear to be subjective.
