Boxers & MMA's

Do you know anything about these types of fights in Chicago?

It could be the fighters themselves, a gym, people who organize the fights, etc etc? If so, you can answer here or -

Turning off Anon Ask

I’m not scary, I’m not mean. If you want to talk to me, let me know who you are!
I love having discourse with SOMEONE rather than an anonymous source who feels emboldened to says things they wouldn’t normally because their name/face isn’t attached. 

Not all aspects of internet culture is a good thing. As a friend said, “laptop warriors being internet brave”

plus, then my tumblr won’t get clogged up with asks, I can privately respond. Quality of content goes up!

cry·ing  /ˈkrī-iNG/ - the act is defined as a complex secretomotor phenomenon characterized by the shedding of tears from the lacrimal apparatus, without any irritation of the ocular structures.

  In an age where nudity is less vulnerable than genuine emotions, I wanted to explore an aspect of peoples lives that are hidden.
  These are the faces of the intentionally vulnerable. They’re showing you a part of themselves that is usually saved for their loved ones or even sometimes, just themselves.
  You don’t know why they are crying, but you know that this is a rare look into a stranger’s most personal moments.
  Things that were private, now made public.
