Astrid & Her Amazing "May The Stopping Never Start"-Adventure

Astrid does not like to sleep in for too long. When her eyes open on Sunday morning, she feels tired, but is extremely motivated to rise. Why waste precious time in bed, while you could jump around and feel and act more than alive, right?



However, okay, Astrid confesses, there are a few Sunday mornings on which she feels differently and on which she thinks lying in bed is just extremely cozy and truly relaxing. However, today was an early rise-day for energizer bunny Astrid.




The first thing she did, this morning, was pressing the PLAY-button on her record-player. U-huh, yep, that’s right. Astrid could not help herself. She is after all MRAZMERIZED.



What? Yes, Astrid is MRAZMERIZED.



Obsessed; in love with Mr. A-Z.



She doesn’t understand how listening to Jason Mraz can make ANYONE feel unhappy!!!



His lyrics are two thumbs and Astrid’s big left toe up and she truly laughs at his comments on his records. Although, sometimes she tends to misinterpreted his lyrics.

On his Tonight, Not Again: Jason Mraz Live-CD, Jason Mraz talks to the crowd and says: "I am not used to having so much light on you; you guys are an attractive BUNCH." Astrid for a long time believed Jason Mraz said the crowd was an attractive LUNCH!!!



Oh, well, Jason Mraz now says its LAUNDRY TIME, so Astrid had better be going and make sure that within a few hours her clothes are stain-free and smell like lavender again.



“Get your sleep, live your life, be a dork.” ~ Jason Mraz

“Cause I, I believe in love,
I still wish on stars above,
Yes, I believe in love songs,
Yes, I think that they are real,
All you have to do is feel.”
~ Jason Mraz



“I wrote this song for my cat.” ~ Jason Mraz

“You can turn off the sun,
but i'm still gonna shine.”
~ Jason Mraz

"Here's to freedom, cheers to art. Here's to having an excellent adventure and may the stopping never start." ~ Jason Mraz

    I love the title of this post. Maybe you should write jingles for commercials, Astrid.

    That was a really cute post. I too like the Jason Mraz... I haven't listened to him in a long while, but love his stuff. My boyfriend hated him though... which means I listen to him alone in my room. He is silly and has good lyrics.

    "I wrote this song for my cat" - Brilliant!

    I will certainly look out for Mr.AZ. Hmm one review that I've just read says that his album is:

    "a great album for easy listening and relaxing"

    Surely you should be lying in bed when you listen to it?

    Mraz used to perform at a coffee shop near the beach in San Diego before he got big. I got to meet him a handful of times -- he was a nice guy. Once, he helped to raise money for a girl going through cancer treatment and I'm pretty sure he didn't even know her.

    Btw, are you getting more adorable in your old age, Astrid?

    Well I will have to listen to some Jason Mraz now because Astrid makes it sound so good.

    And Astrid is awfully adorable in those pictures above! :)

    I must agree that Mraz is simply fabulous and Mraztastic in every way. Everyone should listen to him daily. Several times daily. Several times per hour daily. Oh, hell. Mraz should be listened to all the damn time.

    Ok, I'll listen to this guy and will like him IF he has written even one song about a dog. If I hear one cat song, then the disc will become a garage sale item faster than you can say:

    "Singer/songwriter pop idol that is taking over the airwaves with his great music that's uplifting and stuff."
