A brilliant military strategist and notorious womanizer … They do not tell you about Alcibiades when you study ancient Greece in school. He was quite a character, though.

"Of that which is mysterious" ... A practical joke as the poem is so vague about the situation. It could be about anything at all.

No, no, this is nothing biblical in nature. Actually it is based off of Thomas Hobbes' political/theological treatise entitled Leviathan, a very long complex work which I suggest you never read. This is a good substitute, though. Use your imagination and

Amo caseum et viridem. Valete mei amici!.

The complete bibliography for my thesis on medieval Chinese and Byzantine sculpture. It is here just in case some people are doubting me. Vale.

The hidden world of medieval Chinese and Byzantine sculpture reveals a fascinating existence of slender-limbed, sumptuously robed, iconic, religious figures. Christianity and Buddhism share more than you thought.

Welcome to the glorious capital of Belgium. Chocolates anyone? How about waffles? Hmmm?

1931: The stock market crrashed, people were left jobless, and a hidden self-contained culture of the hobo-tramp emerged. It is a fascinating facet of 20th century American life unfortunately ignored.

Anorexia, eating disorders, the pursuit of beauty ... They are all issues present in our society and a very real problem.

You know, the word mathesis from my awesome title, is not from classical Latin. It emerged in medieval times, the era of late Latin. Well dah, imagine a guy like Caligula doing algebra. Shivers.

A long philosophical discourse on personal happiness written in the style of a Platonic dialogue. It is very intense and deep. You have been warned. Review if you would, please.

What to do in Graz, Austria. Just some notes and ideas. No point in reading this unless you like internationalism.

I do not much like bubble tea but prefer to drink them the way Cleopatra did in front of Antony. It is classic. Here is the story and a modern twist. Enjoy!

Informal notes addressing some startling new facts about the lives of gladiators. They got married, you know. Enjoy! Vale.

Not the best title I know, but I wrote this most humble sonnet for my cousin's wedding in beautiful San Francisco! The groom was Indian (those people from India) and the bride a Mexicaan. It is quite interesting. R and r please. Danke!

A touchy issue-homosexuality. A quick sonnet with a rather speculative tone. I am just thinking of today's gay right's movement and considering what the ancient Greeks did so many centuries ago ... R and r please? Danke!

Ah, terrestrial, aquatic, or aerial travel? A Portia, yacht, or private jet? How should one travel these days. Whatever it is, have a good journey! Read and review please.

Hahaha, a Hum assignment. It is very deep in ancient Babylonian literature. Enjoy yourself!
