Boris Groh is one of my favorite artists, mostly because of his works that feature LARGE skeletons just doing their thing
This is by far my most successful post on tumblr and I am really fucking glad because my main man Boris deserves to be recognized for his work. Even if its mostly getting passed around in the form of memes about cheese.
Since Thanksgiving 2016 I’ve stopped going out to the bars and limited my alcohol intake. Maybe have gone out 3 times since.
I partied in college, moved back home in 2012 and since it’s been the bar scene and at one point almost every day, would miss work and life was dramatic, was always broke as fuck. Would scrounge around for $10 just to be able to get to the bar. Every time I would wake up somewhere that wasn’t home, hungover as fuck, aniexty at 100. (But always managed to have my phone, keys, and wallet)
Recently decided to make a lifestyle change. I see all these bar scene people, they’re doing the same shit, listening to the same music, drinking the same drinks, wearing the same clothes, bitching about the same fucking bullshit things, for years in a row and because they’re drunk a minimum of 5 days in the week, are oblivious that years have passed.
I don’t want to be that person.
I will not be that person.
Yes, I still drink, but I’m not getting annihilated and I’m not sitting on a bar stool for hours on end. I don’t do liquor because I get out of control. So I stick to wine and craft beers. And sip on a glass while I’m relaxing after work, doing home improvement stuff, cleaning, or having one with dinner.
Since I’ve limited and scaled back the drinking my aniexty and depression have dramatically taken a back seat, I’m thinking more clearly, work is going great, I’m finally starting to lose weight, and my ambition to get back into art is coming back. It’s a battle every day but I’m slowly winning.
One part that sucks, but is a blessing in disguise is losing “friends” along this journey. I use “friends” because it’s a term I use loosely.
Friends support each other.
My drinking bar friends don’t support me, they don’t reach out, and I’ve almost completely lost contact with them.
I’m okay with it.
I see through social media, they are all still doing the same damn thing every day.
Plus, who wants to be friends with someone who brings you down, treats you like shit, judges you and talks behind your back? Not me. No thanks.
I don’t even really know why I’m writing this, I guess just a way to vent and release some inner thoughts I’ve had lately.
me, in the year 2040, getting ready for a fancy dinner party, standing in front of my antique gold vanity mirror, wearing a saint laurent f/w 2039 evening gown and cartier diamond earrings, taking a sip of champagne:what did you learn at school today, honey? :-)
my future child, laying on my king-sized bed with burgundy satin sheets:not much, in history we talked about the 2016 election. do you remember any of that?
1. Humans say ‘ow’, even if they haven’t actually been hurt. It’s just a thing they say when they think they might have been hurt, but aren’t sure yet.
2. Humans collect shiny things and decorate their bodies and nests with them. The shinier the better, although each individual has a unique taste for style and colouring
3. Humans are not an aquatic or even amphibious species, but they flock to bodies of water simply to play in it. They can’t even hold their breath all that long; they just love to splash!
4. When night falls and the sky goes dark, humans become drowsy and begin to cocoon themselves in soft, fluffy bedding.
5. Some humans spend time in each other’s nests! Just for fun! It’s not their nest; they’re just visiting each other.
6. Some humans use pigments and dyes to make their bodies flashy and colourful! They even attach shiny dangly bits to their cartalidgous membranes!
7. Humans are very clever, and sometimes adopt creatures from other species into their family units. They don’t seem to notice the obvious differences, and often raise them alongside their own young!
8. If a human sees another creature in distress, they can commonly be observed trying to help! Even at their own risk, most humans are deeply compassionate creatures!
9. If a human hears a particularity catchy sound or tune, it will often mimic it, even to the point of annoying themselves!
10. Sneezes are entirely involuntary, and completely adorable. Especially when the human in question becomes frustrated
11. Humans love treats!!! Some more than others. Many humans will save these treats specifically for a later date when they are in need of comfort or reassurance. IE, pickles, pop tarts, Popsicles, etc
12. They’re learning to travel in space!!! They can’t get very far, but they’re trying!!! So far, they’ve made it to the end of their yard, and have found rocks
this sounds like it was written by a really enthusiastic alien humanologist
