Matt rose a brow, eyes following the sleek form of the cat; nudging up against Shogo’s leg affectionately.

He bent down and scooped up the kitten, and lightly playing with it’s paws with this fingers.

“  If my father possessed me then maybe my mom gave me a cat to make up for it. I don’t know. Wishful thinking, but it is a sign of change.”

Shogo gave a small chuckle followed by a sigh. He went back to the couch Matt was laying on before and sat down.

Matt mused, following Shogo over to the couch; letting his form fall back into the cushioning of the couch. His head turning to the side to look at his significant other affectionately.

Again, Matt chuckled; blue eyes gazing over Shogo fondly, nudging him as to retort for his own wittiness.

A joke that shitty deserved some recognition.

A sigh escaped. He didn’t really like how this was going. Matt still had gangster in him, but for Shogo it was something he didn’t want to be part of at all. Just a normal life.

As they got in, a bengal kitten began to started to follow Shogo. Something he was used to.

Matt rose a brow, eyes following the sleek form of the cat; nudging up against Shogo’s leg affectionately.

Getting on board the pokemon variations bandwagon thanks to @vantid, my generous idea monger. Few things would make me happier than a pond full of fancy magikarp.

He kept close to Shogo’s side, huddling for warmth as they moved about; back into the home.

“ Bloody hell it gets cold here now doesn’t it? “

He gave out a chuckle as well. Wrapping an arm around Matt to absorb some of his warm as they went in.

Again, Matt chuckled; blue eyes gazing over Shogo fondly, nudging him as to retort for his own wittiness.

A joke that shitty deserved some recognition.

Why music might be killing sharks

For too long, sharks have been portrayed and perceived as the menacing, lurking creatures in the deep. Contrary to popular belief, we are much more of a threat to them than they are to us.

Researchers have found that the ominous music that often accompanies even documentary footage of them has inspired excessive fear about sharks.

In an experiment at UC San Diego, participants watched footage of sharks. Some scenes featured uplifting music, and others had a more daunting score. 

The effect was what you might expect. Viewers saw sharks as intimidating creatures when they they also heard ominous music. 

But with uplifting music (or none at all), viewers had a more positive impression of sharks.  

This is problematic because rarely do we see shark footage without the ominous music, and the negative portrayals of sharks may be hindering conservation efforts.

“We know from prior research that conservation progress for sharks is sluggish compared to marine mammals and that this slow response may be due in part to the societal marginalization of sharks,” says study co-author Elizabeth Keenan.

After all, in the words of Senegalese conservationist Baba Diou, “we will conserve only what we love.”

And while they’re still not exactly a furry, cuddly rabbit, consider this: you’re more likely to be struck by lightening than fall prey to a fatal shark attack.

Shogo stopped. Maybe this was a bad idea. It was too cold. Wearing only a tank top didn’t help.

He kept close to Shogo’s side, huddling for warmth as they moved about; back into the home.
