My friend Steph said this once - weak and woozy at the time - and ever since "Stop the World, I Wanna Get off" has taken on so many meanings.
The original image that goes along with this saying is of an 18-year old, in the early 90s, sprawled on the floor, splayed on the area rug in our four person dorm room. It's a funny pose - haphazardly landing on the floor in a contorted fetal position. Nothing broken, just recovering from a moment in which a college freshman resorts to spinning and spinning and spinning in place until ... until her legs gave out, vision blurry, heart racing and then plop - grounded on the floor in a recovery pose.
There are many more moments like this - where a pause in life's spinning top motion wouldn't be such a bad thing. A snooze button, if you will, on the usually frenetic, multi-tasking, information-overloaded pace of life today.
