Ito's Nonsense: Relationships

Rihanna "We Found Love" Video

Wow, so yesterday I saw the Rihanna "We Found Love" video and was completely taken by it on all aspects. It's a story about how love is like a drug... It's an addiction. It starts with love, then obsession, then violence and then when you finally try to part ways with your lover, you go through withdrawals from the love you once had like a drug addict. At the end of the video Rihanna leaves her love but ends up curled up in a ball herself... It's a tragic tale. Rihanna starts the video with an English accent saying the following <div style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;">"It's like you're screaming and no one can hear. You almost feel ashamed that someone could be that important that without them, you feel like nothing. No one will ever understand how much it hurts. You feel hopeless, like nothing can save you. Then when it's over, and it's gone, you almost wish you could have all that bad stuff back, so that you could have the good." <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss143/Nubiasnonsense/Screenshot2011-10-20at124420PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss143/Nubiasnonsense/Screenshot2011-10-20at124420PM.png" /></a></div> </div> Some serious deep thoughts right there. This video reminds me A LOT of an old Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish's film in 2006 "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424880/" style="font-weight: bold;">Candy</a>" Another crazy relationship that came to a tragic end. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss143/Nubiasnonsense/2369447dim-600x400mode-exactcenter-512x342.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss143/Nubiasnonsense/2369447dim-600x400mode-exactcenter-512x342.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Photo <a href="http://preview2.tvspielfilm.de/">via</a></div> So the real question is.... When is loving someone too much unhealthy? Or is there even such a thing as "healthy" love? I think this is one of Rihanna's best videos yet. Everyone is commenting about how it's her story with Chris Brown, especially since there is a scene in the video where they fought in a car BUT, It's also her realest video in my opinion. All her prior videos have been hot and sexy but this is a story many people can relate to like.... Herself. Fashion: Rihanna wears a whole lot of denim here. I am digging it! I'm a long time denim lover (I wear denim jackets and vest frequently). It's very much my style... as a matter of fact, denim is an essential part of my wardrobe. Urban, stylish and chill. It's an extremely attainable look. I've created a collage for you below for some inspiration. <center><div style="height: 600px; position: relative; width: 600px;"><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/we_found_love_in_hopeless/set?.embedder=715340&.svc=copypaste&id=38427755"><img alt="We Found Love In a Hopeless Place" border="0" height="600" src="http://embed.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-set/cid/38427755/id/gpr45NL64BGUum62tKJaAg/size/y.jpg" title="We Found Love In a Hopeless Place" width="600" /></a></div></center> <center>Finally, Enjoy the video below.

Blue Valentine Review

<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g440/NubiaCmejia/b3-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g440/NubiaCmejia/b3-2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 775px;" /></a>What is love </div><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Oh baby, don't hurt me Don't hurt me no more -Haddaway </div> I think Haddaway had the right idea. I saw Blue Valentine a few days ago directed by Derek Cianfrance and starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. The movie was very "real" to say the least. Derek Cianfrance tells the story of a young couple struggling through various ups and downs...but more downs. The film goes back and forth between time periods of a young couples relationship and how they fell in love. Though there are a few blind spots in the plot that leave you wondering, overall I would say the movie was fantastic but very sad in a realistic way. If your looking for your "fairy tale" ending, look away! Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams gave such a raw performance. The chemistry between the two was undeniable. I've been a fan of Gosling for sometime and he delivered as usual. I was very impressed with Williams, It might be her best performance yet in my personal opinion. I've heard people say she wasn't "likeable" in the film but honestly she's not suppose to be. She's a confused young woman looking for more out of life. The movie has a very gloomy and nostalgic scenery. Every scene matched almost to perfection the emotion they were going for. The music selection for the movie was one of my favorite things about it, It has a very 1940's-1950's vibe to it. <a href="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g440/NubiaCmejia/b2-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g440/NubiaCmejia/b2-2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 471px;" /></a>All the little details between Dean (Gosling) and Cindy (Williams) were on point. Every little touch, every little stare, every little giggle, I could almost literally see the butterflies flying in the beginning of their romance. But like many young romances... Life and obstacles got in the way and Cindy starting to slowly fall out of Love. Dean was blind to this through the years, and was a hopeless romantic who truly believed love would get them through anything. <a href="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g440/NubiaCmejia/b1-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g440/NubiaCmejia/b1-2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 600px; height: 399px;" /></a>Now Dear Readers, I have a question for you all... What does one do to keep to flame lit in your relationship? To keep your heart thumping? It is a hurdle every couple has to eventually overcome. Here are some quick tips I gathered for inspiration to you all. <div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Ways To Keep Your Relationship Flame Flickering -Be Spontaneous (Just don't over-do it.) -Have a good court-ship -Get small gifts for your partner. Even if it's a dumb Hallmark card, make them laugh occasionally. -Surprise Meals (Do it up nicely, it's very easy) -Compliment each other -Leave random post-it notes with cute messages on them -Share moments, Have inside jokes. -Have good sex. Make a connection. (It's very important) -Be Mysterious Sometimes (Go away, don't always say where you're going) -Be corny sometimes (by this I mean corny sweet) you have to limit this though because it might become sickening haha. -Get him/her tickets to their favorite show -Party separately occasionally. It shows confidence and it's appealing. -Make sure to always laugh together. <div style="text-align: left;"> These are just a few small tips. If you Google "How to keep your relationship going", you can probably find hundreds of tips all over the internet. After watching Blue Valentine I thought it was appropriate for inspiration. I am in NO WAY promising these will work, especially when your dealing with a long, complicated relationship. I think if you feel something is worth saving, it's worth a shot. Don't regret it not trying for something you believe in. Blue Valentine is in theater's now and definitely worth seeing. From the tweets i was reading, It seemed to be a wake-up call for a lot of people and hit home. Check out the Soundtrack also out February 15th. <div style="text-align: center;">Oh and By the way... Ryan Gosling singing and playing the ukulele?
