Waking in Crete
Crete, Greece: the Island of Heroes, the birthplace of Zeus, the home of the Minotaur, abundant in olives and rugged with mountains.

"For what I should, yet never can, remember: No garden appears, no path, no hoar-green bush Of Lad's-love, or Old Man, no child beside, Neither father nor mother, nor any playmate; Only an avenue, dark, nameless, without end."

Okay so my mom gave my daughter some books she got from the flea market. Considering how my mom let us watch a ton of inappropriate movies and shows when we were kids, I probably should've checked them before I let my daughter pick one for her bedtime story tonight, but hindsight is hindy and sighty.
Anyway, I couldn't stop giggling when I read her the story about Theseus because this is the most UNHINGED MINOTAUR I HAVE EVER SEEN
Tumblr media
First of all, Theseus reminds me of both the knifer and the knifee from that wikiHow "Winning a Fair Fight" meme. Second of all, I know that Ovid described him as "part man, part bull" so this is technically correct, but... wowzers.
Eh, it was either this or a short story about Grendel's bone-crunching ass.

Can't believe it was ten years ago since I visited Crete. Hope I can go there again some day. Unfortunately I'm not much for traveling alone, at least not abroad, and right now I don't really have any traveling companion for longer trips like that.

"Little? He looks big enough to feed a family of five... but alright. I'll go find some other seafood to eat. The things I do for you, sunshine."
" He's small enough to carry, he can be little. " Asterius, please. He's so very fond of the little terror. You're rewarded for your cooperation and fondness with a warm grin, and the faintest flush to his cheeks. " I'll buy you whatever you like, darling, how's that? We'll ship something in fresh. "

You Will Never Meet A Hater That... #Subscribe #KenkaQuotes #DonPavio #PropaBeats #SirBurns #Viral #Quote
Someone who is doing better than you will waste their energy on hating on you. Instead, those people will most probably give you advice or their point of view on your business to see if they can make it grow. Be careful with who you surround yourself with. It can either make you, or break you. let us know in the comments what you think.
