it was only a matter of time

before bieber fever infected my blog.  i will keep this ode short, possibly because my emotions on this particular subject run so high, and partially because i could never tell justin's story better than "Never Say Never".  and that is not a joke.

mz, af, and i joined millions of 12 year old girls on valentine's day and went and saw our one true love on the silver screen.  if i ever had doubts that j biebs was wonderful, his movie silenced them for me forever.

the kid's a gem.  i can hear you scoffing, possibly gagging, but watch this:

if i had a teenaged daughter, i'd force her to love this boy.  he's got good hair, marginal music, and great heart.  sure, there are an unnerving amount of, shall we say, butch-ier women out there uncannily resembling him, but that is really a commentary on their fashion choices and not his.  and in a world with some truly serious problems and music that is more than happy to herald them, it is soooooooo refreshing to hear about a boy who just wants to make it so there's One Less Lonely Girl.

all i know is i've had some hard times this year and justin was always there to soothe my troubled heart.
