Flooding Morning After Hurricane Irene

This is the flooding we experienced after hurricane Irene. The baseball field is a river, the basketball and tennis courts are swimming pools, the play area is in the creek, and our street is under water. My building is now on a small island and there is no way out, no electricity, no cable and no internet. Our cell phones are all unable to find a connection. Good thing I’m a Mainer and know what to do in these situations. Evacuation bags are packed and stowed in the windowless bathroom, the bathtub is full of water, fridge and freezer are full of ice and food, plenty of candles, a gas stove, flashlights and batteries, radio and batteries, personal dvd player is all charged up. My ipod is charged and connecting to some super slow phantom wireless internet connection, I have no idea where it’s coming from, it was never here before, but it at least lets me check twitter and see a few videos of what’s going on outside our little island.

SEPTA will cease all operations at 12:30 a.m. Sunday in anticipation of heavy rain and wind from Hurricane Irene. First time ever in history. (They stopped it an hour and a half early because of the bad weather, sucks for people who thought they had till 12:30am, hope noone was stranded as a result.)

Lady Gaga, Born This Way

 

Intro

It doesn’t matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M

Just put your paws up

’cause you were Born This Way, Baby

Verse

My Mama told me when I was young

We are all born superstars

She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on

In the glass of her boudoir

“There’s nothing wrong with lovin’ who you are”

She said, “Cause he made you perfect, babe.”

“So hold your head up girl and you’ll go far,

Listen to me when I say”

Chorus

I’m beautiful in my way

Cause God makes no mistakes

I’m on the right track baby

I was born this way

Don’t hide yourself in regret

Just love yourself and you’re set

I’m on the right track baby

I was born this way

Post-Chorus

Ooo there ain’t no other way

Baby I was born this way

Baby I was born this way

Ooo there ain’t no other way

Baby I was born this way

Baby I was born this way

Ooo there ain’t no other way

Baby I was born this way

I’m on the right track baby

I was born this way

Don’t be a drag, just be a queen

Don’t be a drag, just be a queen

Don’t be!

Verse

Give yourself prudence

And love your friends

Subway kid, rejoice your truth

In the religion of the insecure

I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin

Believe capital H-I-M (hey hey hey)

I love my life I love this record and

Mi amore vole fe yah (love needs faith)

Repeat Chorus and Post-chorus

Bridge

Don’t be a drag, be a queen

Whether you’re broke or evergreen

You’re black, white, beige chola descent

You’re Lebanese, You’re Orient

Whether life’s disabilities

Left you outcast, bullied or teased

Rejoice and love yourself today

Cause baby you we’re born this way

No matter gay, straight, or bi

Lesbian, transgendered life

I’m on the right track baby

I was born to survive

No matter black, white or beige

Chola or Orient made

I’m on the right track baby

I was born to be brave

Repeat Chorus

Outro/Refrain

I was born this way hey!

I was born this way hey!

I’m on the right track baby

I was born this way hey!

I was born this way hey!

I was born this way hey!

I’m on the right track baby

I was born this way hey!
