Heroes - Crash

Well I was moving at the speed of sound.
Head-spinning, couldn't find my way around, and
Didn't know that I was going down.
Yeah, yeah.
Where I've been, well it's all a blur.
What I was looking for, I'm not sure.
Too late and didn't see it coming.
Yeah, yeah.

And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.

Somehow, I couldn't stop myself.
I just wanted to know how it felt.
Too strong, I couldn't hold on.
Yeah, yeah.
Now I'm just tryin' to make some sense
Out of how and why this happened.
Where we're heading, there's just no knowing.
Yeah, yeah.

And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.

From your face, your eyes
Are burning to me.
You saved me, you gave me
Just what I need.
Oh, just what I need.

And then I crashed into you,
And I went up in flames.
Could've been the death of me,
But then you breathed your breath in me.
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.

And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And then I crashed into you,
And I crashed into you,
Like a runaway train.
You will consume me,
But I can't walk away.

Barenaked Ladies - Be My Yoko Ono (Video)

If there's someone you can live without, then do so. And if there's someone you can just shove out, do so.

You can be my Yoko Ono
You can follow me wherever I go.
Be my, be my, be my Yoko Ono.

Isn't it beautiful to see two people so much in love? Barenaked as two virgins hand in hand and hand and hand in glove. Now that I'm far away it doesn't seem to me to be such a pain to have you hanging off my ankle like some kind of ball and chain.

Oh no, here we go, our life is just one big pun.
Oh no, here we go as Yoko sings
Aieee!

I know that when I say this
I may be stepping on pins and needles, but I don't like all these people slagging her for breaking up the Beatles. (Don't blame it on Yokey!)
If I was John and you were Yoko,
I would gladly give up musical genius, just to have you as my very own, personal Venus.

Here's the conversation I had with my 3rd grader this evening:

3G: Mom, I want to start doing chores. What can I do to help you?
ME: Well, honey, you can unload the dishwasher, that would be a big help.
3G: Okay. How much does that pay?

Is it discrimination?

I have recently read/heard on the news and in conversations with friends and colleagues that employers don't want to hire people who smoke and/or are overweight because the health insurance coverage for these individuals is higher. Well, that seems logical. Isn't it in an employer's best interest to be fiscally responsible? Is it really unfair for employers to want to protect their bottom line? If I'm running a business, isn't the whole point for it to be profitable? Employees are hired based on what they can bring to the table; if they are costing the company more than they can produce then it makes sense to me that it would limit their employability.

Is it really discrimination? Could one argue that if an employer can only afford so much for healthcare coverage and the coverage is, therefore, limited because of the predisposition of a few employees, i.e. smokers and overweight people, that it is unfair to healthy, non-smoking employees because more coverage would be available to them if not for their "at risk" colleagues? I don't know if that's the case . . . I just wonder about these things.

Here are a few articles I found interesting . . .
