You and I know someone in each category:

“Some people burn the candle at both ends…”

Who just came to mind?

“…and some people burn it right in the middle…”

Oh yeah, I’m picturing someone, are you?

“…I use a blowtorch on mine!”

Are each influencing you, or are you helping shape them?

And, uhm, by the way, all three lines are a quote from David Lee Roth.
