i have the best friend with benefits EVER.

rcynthiadebie:


we are very good friends, but we have sex sometimes. in all this time, neither of us has ever wanted anything more, thank god. we’ve both cheated on all of our significant others with each other. i know cheating is bad, but its different with him because we are just friends. idk. that’s all.

Permalink nationalgeographicdaily: People Winner (2010 National Geographic Photography Contest)  Photo and caption by Chan-Kwok Hung An Indonesian famer and his buffalo charge through the mud in “Buffalo Race,” and image that contest judge Joel Sartore called “an epic scene.” Farmers literally put a lot of stock into winning these annual races, which they believe will bring them luck during the upcoming growing season, according to photographer Chan Kwok Hung of Hong Kong. National Geographic magazine senior photo editor and judge Sadie Quarrier praised the image as “nicely composed, very real moment.” “I’m immediately drawn to the expression on the guy’s face, with his open mouth and tightly squeezed eyes as if he’s barely holding on.” Freelance photographer and judge Stephen Alvarez called the photo “high action perfectly captured.  Sometimes photography is all about the moment.” Added Sartore, a freelance photographer, “peak action, interesting subject matter, and a soft background all combined to make this image a winner.”
Permalink pictoryblog: I spent my Christmas and New Years in Paris, getting lost in the narrow streets, wandering through museums and snapping shots of the romance, so prevalent in French society but hidden in ours. Near the Champs-Élysées I spotted a newlywed couple, running hand in hand. Whether they were moving in excitement, escaping in-laws, or keeping warm in the frigid winter night I will never know, but the grip they had on each other and fluid movement as one remains a vivid memory. — By Kylee Piatczyc (from “Open Theme”) Submit now to Pictory’s Open Themes
