Love Affair Everlasting Love

Chris Brown and Rihanna Prove Toxic Love is Everlasting

It was the tweet heard around the Twittersphere: “Did you get the pic I sent you?” 

Seemingly normal question from one person to another, ‘cept these ain’t just any ol’ folks batting messages back and forth. It was Chris Brown and Rihanna . You know, domestic violence and restraining order Chris Brown and Rihanna. Physical altercation and dukin’ it out in the car Chris Brown and Rihanna. And we thought the saga was over. But we should’ve known better than to put anything past the power of the toxic relationship .

Sometimes two people are just so crazy that they think no one else could be more well-suited for either one of them than each other. Been there, done that. Maybe you have too. 

It’s not like we didn’t see it coming. A few weeks ago, a fan called Rih Rih out for following Chris on Twitter. Now, just a few weeks later, Ms. Good Girl Gone Bad and Mr. I-Work-My-Publicist-Overtime seem to be easing back into communication.

Rihanna has already admitted that she’s got kind of a thing for violence. Sticks and stones may break her bones but chains and whips excite her, right? But more than that, sometimes it’s just hard to shake off love, foul and unhealthy and downright counterproductive as that love might be . Would I put it past her and Chris to be stealthily chatting behind the scenes ? Nope, not at all. Because I was that girl once. My first real relationship gave me pause to take leave of any good sense I had. I didn’t just fall in love. I somersaulted into it. We couldn’t get enough of each other. My boo had plenty of flaws, but his temper was the worst of them. Homeboy didn’t just get mad. He flew into rages. And anybody who had the misfortune of being in the line of fire — senior citizen, Boy Scout, paraplegic, whoever — ran the risk of getting dealt with if they crossed him at the wrong time. Including me. Once, he stopped by my room in college unannounced to find a guy from my English lit class hanging out. The visit was completely innocent. Heck, I had just gotten done washing my hair and anybody who knows anything about black girls knows we ain’t letting no guy we’re interested in come over with our hair looking like a fresh mound of shrink-wrapped poo poo. But trying to convince The Boyfriend of that was useless. And dangerous.

The Art of Typography – A Grotesk Love Affair ... - Despiration

“Good designers like fonts. Great designers find them physically arousing. With this thought in mind, they set out to dramatize designers everlasting love affair with Grotesk fonts, and democratically determine which one got designers’ juices flowing the most. They designed a poster inviting people to vote, with the promise that their name would appear on the final product, and posted it on various design blogs and social media sites. The web address on the poster directed users to a site ( http://vote.ryanatkinson.info ) with multiple examples of Grotesk fonts, and allowed them to vote for their favourite. This information was then translated into statistical data, and used as the basis for the design, where they used typographical grids to layout all the information.
