Sarah McLachlan - Ice (Afterglow Live)

My fav singer singing my fav song!

Lyrics....

The ice is thin come on dive in
underneath my lucid skin
the cold is lost, forgotten
Hours pass days pass time stands still
light gets dark and darkness fills
my secret heart forbidden...
I think you worried for me then
the subtle ways that I'd give in but I know
you liked the show
tied down to this bed of shame
you tried to move around the pain but oh
your soul is anchored

The only comfort is the moving of the river
You enter into me, a lie upon your lips
offer what you can, I'll take all that I can get
only a fool's here...

I don't like your tragic sighs
as if your god has passed you by well hey fool
that's your deception
your angels speak with jilted tongues
the serpent's tale has come undone you have no
strength to squander

The only comfort is the moving of the river
You enter into me, a lie upon your lips
offer what you can, I'll take all that I can get
only a fool's here to stay
only a fool's here to stay
only a fool's here...

Break some Rules (Ok only if it's safe)

Man Beat NFL Rules by Changing Last Name to “Ocho Cinco”

Wide receiver Chad Johnson of the Cincinnati Bengals wanted to put his nickname Ocho Cinco (his jersey number "eight five" in Spanish) on the back of his uniform, but strict NFL rules only allow for real surnames.

So what did Chad do? He got his name legally changed to Chad Ocho Cinco! So the NFL now had no choice but to let him do it

I guess my title here doesn't make any sense since he didn't break any rules, he just worked around it... The old way is not always the right way.

Rules and norms are there to govern us. They help our society stay unified. Please note that I am not talking about law/government. It is strictly rules/norms that are imposed on society by society. In the NFL case the rule was the jersey name on the back worn by the players must match their last name. Imagine if there was no rule. Any one could have any name. People could use profane language, and that’s not good because children do watch NFL!

So there is a reason that rules exist... But that doesn't mean we can't work around them. Say you are given a sheet of paper with a rectangle box in the center. You are then asked to color the box with your favorite color (I would pick pink!!!!) and the rule was to color the box. Would you color inside the box or outside? I would color the entire paper with different pink shades... since the paper itself is a rectangle box (Creative huh!)
