A balloon is an inflatable flexible bag filled with a gas, such as helium, hydrogen, nitrous oxide, oxygen, or air. Modern balloons can be made from materials such as rubber, latex, polychloroprene, or a nylon fabric, while some early balloons were made of dried animal bladders, such as the pig bladder. Some balloons are used for decorative purposes, while others are used for practical purposes such as meteorology, medical treatment, military defense, or transportation. A balloon's properties, including its low density and low cost, have led to a wide range of applications. The inventor of the rubber balloon, (the most common balloon) was Michael Faraday in 1824, via experiments with various gases.
Party balloons are mostly made of a natural latex tapped from rubber trees, and can be filled with air, helium, water, or any other suitable liquid or gas. The rubber's elasticity makes the volume adjustable.
Filling the balloon with air can be done with the mouth, a manual or electric inflater (such as a hand pump), or with a source of compressed gas.
Satoru Iwata (岩田 聡, Iwata Satoru?, born December 6, 1959) is the fourth president of Nintendo, succeeding the long-standing previous president of the company, Hiroshi Yamauchi in 2002. He was responsible in great part for defining Nintendo's strategy both before and during the release of its Nintendo GameCube video game console in 2001, a vision which helped Nintendo generate a forty-one percent increase in sales at the end of the 2002 fiscal year. Satoru Iwata is married.
Barron's Magazine named Iwata one of the world's top CEOs, due mostly to the Wii and Brain Age sales, as well as Nintendo's increased stock price.
Satoru Iwata was born in Sapporo, Japan. He expressed interest in the creation of video games early on, and began producing electronic games at his home during his high school years. The several simple number games Iwata produced made use of an electronic calculator he shared with his schoolmates. Following high school, Iwata was admitted to the Tokyo Institute of Technology, where he majored in computer science. While attending the school, he did freelance work for HAL Laboratory, Inc., a subsidiary of Nintendo, as a programmer.
Lily Rose Beatrice Cooper (born 2 May 1985), better known as Lily Allen, is an English recording artist, actress and fashion designer. She is the daughter of actor and musician Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen. In her teenage years, her musical tastes evolved from glam rock to alternative. Allen abandoned school and concentrated on improving her performing and compositional skills. Afterwards, she created several demo songs and, near the end of 2005, she created a profile on MySpace where she made some of her recordings public.
A contract was signed with the label Regal Recordings, as the views on MySpace rose to tens of thousands. In 2006, she began to work on completing what would be her first studio album and its first mainstream single "Smile" reached the top position on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006. Her debut record, Alright, Still, was well received on the international market, selling over 2.6 million copies and brought Allen a nomination at the Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards and MTV Video Music Awards. She then began hosting her own talk-show, Lily Allen and Friends, on BBC Three.

His greatest weakness became his foremost strength.
A magical Red balloon floats, filled with gigantic
waterfalls.
Stares right at me, from inside my head:
I hear the water flows, I hear the wind blows.
Empty outfits, cover the inside, they cover the truth,
What really goes on, and I just sit & look.
I hear the water flows, I hear the wind blows.
I let the world run on its own,
Hey
Are you mother fuckers ready
Are you ready to roll
I think we'll start a commotion
A disaster we're after
Mother may feel love
Come to hate her son
On the day we're born all ready to go
Come on let's go
Got a frame of lead that's ready to roll
A model to take and set it off
Come on let's go
A part of me take to overcome
Living, sitting, in a fucking balloon flying
Floating, pushing, hoping that a storm will come
And offer me relief
Face my space alone
I am on my own
Are you mother fuckers ready
Are you ready to roll
I think we'll start a commotion
A disaster we are after
Living, sitting, in a fucking balloon flying
Floating, pushing, hoping that a storm will come
And offer me relief
Mother help me
I can't help it
Take my breath and run away
Save those breaths for rainy days
Take my breath and run away today
Living, sitting, in a fucking balloon flying
Floating, pushing, hoping that a storm will come
And offer me relief
"You people must have faith. You must not be stampeded by rumors or guessings. Let us unite in panicking fear."
Flying, show me how it feels
As dreams grow sinking clouds that must be real
Losing a touch of what is mine
It's proving tough as steel and dull as life
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon
Ba-ba-ba-ba
Gliding cuts you down and shakes your ground
I'm reeling from the height of silent sound
You know it always takes inside
As dreams go up the earth is lost in flight
Ba-ba-ba-ba-balloon

Goodbye
Bye my baby
Now there's no
One can save me
You just keep
On ascending
While I sleep
Through the ending x 5
There's a balloon
That I let go of
I'll see you soon
I miss you so, love
I knew you'd rise
But not this far
I search the skies
For where you are x5
If you're gonna play with fire then expect to lose some games
Most of all I feel this fall will land me in the flames
And if it does, I wonder, was it all for nothing then?
But if I had never tried, how could I try again?
Oh, again
I knew you'd rise
But not this far
I search your eyes
For where you are
Did I have to cheat
Find the answer
Now there's only heat
I never show that I sometimes do not wanna see you
you'll never know everything I tell you is not ture
every night in my life
you worry about me
wait there for me
I wonder when you'll set me free
would you read it if I say I'll write a letter to you
would you believe when I say I'm already twenty two
in my life in your eyes
so much is different
so little's the same
but none of us is gonna change
do we really care
if it is worth the trouble worth the sorrow
they're like a balloon in the air
floating to nowhere
you know there are ups and downs
in the course of our lives
it's the rule of the game
please do not keep on asking why
you call me but I pretend to be too busy to talk
the chemistry between us is not enough at all
I don't understand you don't understand me
what a pity
with nothing elst more can we agree
it's the rule of the game
Flying, show me how it feels
As dreams grow sinking clouds that must be real
Losing a touch of what is mine
It's proving tough as steel and dull as life

2x squeeze your damn balloon

2x squeeze your damn balloon
let me see you squeeze it (squeeze it)
thats the reason
im on my knees in
damn girl, those are big ass balloons you got there
can i squeeze them
rub 'em, hold 'em, feel 'em
grab 'em, touch 'em, kiss 'em
squeeze 'em,
rub, hold, feel
grab, touch, kiss
He still held my hand in his thread
His head filled with helium
Pulled me up so I couldn't walk
But look at things from a different angle
To hang on to my balloon
And to be shown a glimpse of the truth
Made my cheek flush and my mouth smile
My chest's like a cage full of butterflies
It tickled and I laugh:
”such a rare, rare joy”
Suddenly the balloon loosened itself, he said:
“I have to move further on, I'll keep on flying
Keep on showing the truth from my point of view,”
I fell down on a cottonpavement painted blue
And I lost the sight, lost the moment and my view
The only thing that I knew:
i have a crate it's filled with bricks
and pictures of our past
depreciating values and i'm losing interest fast
all the hungry mouths i seen could never make me steal
i would rather stand and die
than have to bow and kneel
balloon
you call me pocket venus
but i'm really pocket freak
you know i don't need this
i have my own potholes leaks
i came into some money
i don't need you anymore
you can call me superstar
or you can call me whore
balloon
i'm the type of guy
who doesn't have a type at all
i'm not dressed for this climate
someone take me to the mall
drink toilet water and eat
the food that rots
we're living in the coisters
where out subtext is out plot
balloon
i'm back in your life
