Time Stand Still

Imagine for a moment if you could completely freeze time.

What would you do? What if for a moment all stress in our world was released. The chaos and crashing boom of everyday life came to a complete halt. The pressure pushing in on you from our life's monotony was lifted. What if you could breathe? The tension and weight collapsing in from the world. The pattern that forces you into everything you do. What if for a moment you could break free? What if the sweet, relieving air could pour into your lungs and rejuvenate your life? The arms binding you and slowly suffocating your free would suddenly spring free. You could find euphoria in the relief of complete silence. It would be like being born over again into a world of total isolation.

Isolation. What is that? Would it actually be PLEASANT to be completely cut off from the world for a day? Myself, an extrovert, find pleasure in daily interaction with my fellow humans, but there is no denying that I would love to escape for a day. We are all caught into a system, a set way of life. A pattern. Something impossible to defect from unless you "pulled a Tarzan". We are forced into the social standards of our mass media, forced to be perfect in the eyes of an imperfect beholder. But what if you brought that all to a halt? You would be totally alone. Just a day with yourself, a day to observe, a day to reflect upon your own flaws and attributes. You could catch your breath with the pressure and force of day to day life lifted off of you. Maybe you would notice something you had never seen before. Maybe that girl across the street looks really cute when frozen in space. Maybe you could save a life of a man about to trip down the stairs. Maybe you could taunt Niagra Falls by walking through it's still waters. Whatever you choose, it would be immensely refreshing to engage in such an activity.

If we could slow this movement for just one second and stand alone, what would we see?

Beiber Fever

I would like to admit something to you all.
I am head over heels in love with Justin Beiber.

Sure, laugh ALL you like, but read on. Everything about Justin is perfect. The way his soft, luscious hair falls across his face. The way his soothing, soft voice cuts through his inspirational music and sings straight into my heart. It opens my eyes to hear such flawless, beautiful music in this world. And it is an extra treat to have the music sung by such a handsome, magnificent man.

I know a lot of girls love Justin too (Selena Gomez), but no one feels for him as I do. Not one person feels such compassion, adoration, and total commitment to Justin Beiber as I do. I listen to his music and sing along every night. I didn't throw away that singing Beiber doll I got as a joke. I kept it. And I hold it close against my chest imagining there is a heart beating in it too. I can feel his warmth against me as I listen to his clear and crisp voice cut across his inspirational, beautiful music.

And no, I am in no way ashamed to admit my total adoration for all things Beiber. Usher is so lucky to get to spend so much time with the most perfect man in the world. I would kill to have one look at Justin. It's ridiculous how perfect he is. From the friendly brown shades in his eyes to his soft locks of amazing hair, he is a dream come true to all people who lay eyes on him.


By the way, it's April Fools Day.

And you were just owned, my dear friends.
