What has our world come to? In a world of earthquake’s, tsunami’s, and hurricane’s. A world of wars. A world of work, school, and kids. Who has time to worry about Jon Gosselin’s new girlfriend?

In America we keep ourselves busy and everyone is always in a rush. Who has time to care about who a tv dad is dating? Do we really have nothing better to do with our lives?

Why are people so obsessed with celebrities? Why not focus on your own life. There is so much to see and do in this world and so many people waste so much of their time following the rich and famous.

Are our lives really that dull that we need to follow the lives of strangers? What if we took the time we invest in reading People, Us, or TMZ and instead invested that time into our own lives.

We then might be able to cultivate the type of life we immortalize. The life we wish could be ours instead of craving the life of someone who doesn’t truly exist. When we immortalize a celebrity, we immortalize the public persona. Not the real person behind the mask. Behind that famous mask they are just like you and I. Someone that lounges at home in their pj’s on a day off. Someone that listens to music. Someone that travels. They are a person, flesh and blood, just like you and I. They have dreams, wishes, and hopes. Just like you and I.

Go out, achieve your dreams, fulfill your wishes, and live your hopes. And while doing that, you may just forget that you aren’t on the cover of a magazine and you may realize that you have the better life after all…
