Ghetto-Fab Love

I'm not that big a J.Lo Fan but I love this song.
Baby when I think about
The day that we first met
Wasn't lookin for what I found
But I found you
And I'm bound to
find happiness in being around you
Chorus:I'm glad when I'm makin love to you
I'm glad for the way you make me feel
I love it cause you seem to blow my mind
every time
I'm glad when you walk
you hold my hand
I'm happy that you know how to be a man
I'm glad that you came into my life
I'm so glad
I dig the way that you get down
And you still know how to hold me
Perfect blend, masculine
I think I'm in love,
damn finally
I'm glad that you turned out to be
That certain someone special
who makes this life worth living
I'm glad you're here
just loving me
So say that you won't leave
cause since the day you came
I've been glad
AHAHAHA You know I am in love because I've reverted to Junior High Romance with R&B song lyrics dedicated to that special someone!!! But this song does describe the love of my life just like it describes J. Lo's and probably a few other lucky people's as well.
Three cheers for love! Hip Hip Hooray!!

When He Has to Go Off to Work


Remember when Julia Roberts is sitting in the bubble bath singing Prince's Kiss as Richard Gere is leaving to work in Pretty Woman? I feel like that every weekend.

You don't have to be rich

to be my girl (boy in my case)

You don't have to be rich to rule my world

Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with

I just want you extra time and your

Kiss

Empress Josephine's Letter Collection


Napoleon Bonaparte writes the most romantic letters. Men do love as deeply as women. In fact, I think they might be better at expressing it. Love exists even in the toughest of men. Doesn't this letter make you want to melt?!


To Josephine

April 3, 1796
I have received all your letters, but none has made me such an impression as the last. How, my beloved, can you write to me like that?
Don't you think my position is cruel enough, without adding my sorrows and crushing my spirit?
What a style! What feelings you show! They are fire, and they burn my poor heart.
My one and only Josephine, apart from you there is no joy; away from you, the world is a desert where I am alone and cannot open my heart.
You have taken more than my soul; you are the one thought of my life.
When I am tired of the worry of work, when I feel the outcome, when men annoy me, when I am ready to curse being alive, I put my hand on my heart; your portrait hangs there, I look at it, and love brings me perfect happiness, and all is miling except the time I must spend away from my mistress.
By what art have you captivated all my facilities and concentrated my whole being in you? It is a sweet friend, that will die only when I do.
To live for Josephine, that is the history of my life I long.
I try to come near you. Fool! I don't notice that I am going further away. How many countries separate us!
How long before you will read these words, this feeble expression of a captive soul where you are queen?
Oh, my adorable wife! I don't know what fate has in store for me, but if it keeps me apart from you any longer, it will be unbearable! My courage is not enough for that.
Once upon a time I was proud of my courage, and sometimes I would think of the ills destiny might bring me and consider the most terrible horrors without blinking or feeling shaken.
But, today the thought that my Josephine might be in trouble, that she may be ill, above the cruel, the awful thought that she may love me less blights my soul, stills my blood and makes me sad and depressed, without even the courage of rage and despair.
I used often to say men cannot harm one who dies without regret; but, now, to die not loved by you, to die without knowing, would be the torment of Hell, the living image of utter desolation. I feel I am suffocating.
My one companion, you whom fate has destined to travel the sorry road of life beside me, the day I lose your heart will be the day Nature loses warmth and life for me.
I stop, sweet friend; my soul is sad, my body tired, my spirit oppressed. Men bore me. I ought to hate them: they take me away from my heart.
Don't be frightened. Love me like your eyes; but that is not enough: like yourself, more than yourself, than your thoughts, your life, all of you.
Forgive me, dear love, I am raving; Nature is frail when one feels deeply, when one is loved by you.
Bonaparte

Aye! Love Letters!


I AM SOOO IN LOVE WITH THE GUY WHO WROTE THIS LETTER!!


Darling,

Since I met you my faith in true love and romance has been restored. You are so wonderful. The moment I saw you I was in love. But at the same time, I was so sure that you were the person I would give myself to and spend all my days and nights with. You are a mystery to me at times. How could someone so perfect have been sent into my life? I wake up and think of you and the day I first saw you. I can't wait to have many wonderful adventures with you. You will be so successful and an inspiration to many people, not just for your work but also as a person. I am truly lucky, for I felt my heart would never find such a perfect match in love. I love you so much. You will be the only one I ever say those words to. My true love.

Interspecies Love


These cheetahs caught this baby impala but instead of eating him they started playing with him and even let him join the pack for a little while before it scampered off to tell everyone else in his tribe how he ran with the enemy for a day. Now he's totally popular. Look at all that Love!!

Just So I Never Forget

A few friends and I had a discussion once about how if a relationship is too perfect, they could get bored. I've been through this before though, and there's nothing I prefer more than someone who understands you. What about entertaining each other with laughter, romance, fun? Drama Free is the way to be?? No??? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Remember never to focus on the few small incidents you fight about over the billions of amazing moments that you have. I intend to focus solely on the perfection of being head over heels in love with someone...this blog is my way of being grateful for that as often as possible.

It's cheesy I know but this quote I saw at Bed Bath and Beyond is a great motto for life: Live, Love, Laugh. LOL. <3

Frida Kahlo, Te Amo!!


from Frida Kahlo to Diego Riviera (via. Lettersofnote.com)
Transcript:
Diego, my love,
Remember that once you finish the fresco we will be together forever once and for all, without arguments or anything, only to love one another.Behave yourself and do everything that Emmy Lou tells you.I adore you more than ever.
Your girl,
Frida
Frida Kahlo and Diego Riviera, turbulent romance but I love that in the end they stayed together. I don't condone cheaters, but who am I to judge if the woman who was hurt was the one who forgave him?
*Did I not tell you lettersofnote.com = awesome?

The Power of A Letter

from lettersofnote.com
You can try to decipher this letter before you read the transcription....giving you warning before I transcribe it for you, it reads:
My Dearest Fanny,
I am writing these few lines to tell you that I cannot live any longer without you. I worship you always. I think you are a beauty and the nicest girl I ever saw and I adore you. Oh exquisite Fanny, do not despise me for loving you so well. I shall be broken-hearted if you desert me. Can you meet me on Monday night, when I will take you to the Star Music Hall. I hate that Bill Robinson, who is hanging after you and I intend to horsewhip him when I see him. I shall be delighted to hear from you at once. Do not let my suit be fruitless. Reply by next post to
Your loving
William Weightman
William Weightman may not be as elegant or poetic as Napoleon or Beethoven, but you have to give him credit for his creativity. Code deciphering? That's pretty awesome...although I have gotten them in the form of rap songs and cross word puzzles before...I guess I should give those guys credit too. The most recent letters I've received are the most amazing I've ever gotten; so much so that they persuaded me to jump head first into something I was completely unsure I wanted. I couldn't be happier! Ahh letters.....SO......if you want a girl to fall in love with you, write them a letter. Even if you suck at writing, take a cue from William Weightman and get creative!
P.S. Lettersofnote.com is amazing for letters...not just love letters, all kinds of letters. Including Harvey Weinstein telling someone they are boring. --> Info via BFF: Veronica So. Maybe I should do a blog about Friend love!

Boldt Castle



Who knew the man behind Thousand Island Dressing and the Waldorf Astoria was such a romantic? Boldt Castle on Heart Island was built as a present to his wife for her 42nd birthday on Valentine's day. Unfortunately, she died before it was completed; he was so heart broken he never set foot on the island again and had all construction stopped. Romantic Tragedy but at least it proves that love exists, even in the lives of rich rich men. Who says you can't have money and love?
