There’s a difference between loving the idea of someone and actually loving who they really are.

i should know better, me being me, but i find it hard to believe that some of the most important, life-affirming, rage and sadness-validating, cathartic, beautiful and brutal music i’ve ever had contact with came from this retarded jerkoff. i’m not even bring DTP into this discussion either. i’m talking the old stuff, SYL and ‘accelerated evolution’ on back.

The sarcastic fringehead (Neoclinus blanchardi) is a footlong fish that lives off the Pacific coast of North America. When unthreatened, the fringehead’s visage is fairly unremarkable. But if a marine predator (or stray human hand) attempts to dislodge a fringehead from its crevasse, the fish will race into action, brandishing its frightening Predator-like mouth at the interloper.
And things get even stranger when two sarcastic fringeheads get embroiled in a turf war. How strange? Two words: “mouth wrestling.” Are you brave enough to behold the angriest make-out party in the animal kingdom?

wow, “sarcastic fringehead” describes me pretty well. that’s a spot-on depiction of my make-out technique also.

part one: paul nicklen on the spring narwhal migration
“i have been traveling to northern baffin island for more than 12 years to try and get one underwater picture of a male narwhal. narwhals are very shy. they have a sensitive nature and excellent echolocation. you can see hundreds passing by the ice edge, but when you slip into the water, you may never see one.
"late one afternoon, i had been in the -1.7°C water for a couple of hours, and i was freezing so badly that my legs and arms were cramping up. i couldn’t feel my lips around my snorkel, so i just stared into the black 2,000-foot abyss trying not to think about how cold i was.
"then, out of the corner of my eye, i noticed something bright traveling through the murky water. i turned my head, and there they were: several male narwhals, swimming in beautiful formation. i put my frozen finger on the shutter and, as i was about to take the picture, the narwhal closest to me let out a stream of bubbles. i snapped the picture in what was the most incredible moment of the assignment."
of note, the tusk of the narwhal is actually a tooth that grows in a spiral, and is thought to have evolved from sexual selective pressures, not for defensive reasons.

everybody has that one game that completely ruined them like for better or worse there’s that one game with a plot that destroyed your insides and characters that stole your heart and art and design that reduced you to tears and you just want to hold the game in your arms and cry like a small child bc it’s your game
