That's the End of Irene

So we made it through Hurricane Irene! Pure madness from the Earthquake that surprisingly shook the East Coast, leading up to the vicious Hurricane Irene, the East Coast had its share of natural occurrences for 2011. The good thing about it is that the East Coast had the chance to experience something many people who live here have never had the chance to experience before, even though they may not have been good experiences. Hopefully we will not have to experience these circumstances again, but when Mother Nature is pissed off , she is a bitch.

Did You Feel The Earthquake ?

Yesterday's earthquake was a new experience to many New Jersey and New York natives. The sad part is not everyone had the opporunity to feel it and I was one of them.

Living on the east coast I may never have the opporunity to come in counter with another earthquake in my lifetime, so I feel like I missed out on something.

Snowden told everyone he was doing the Lindy Hop. The jitterbug, swing or Lindy as it was called by white dancers became an integral part of Hollywood’s golden era and was picked up by the youth of America during WWII, as exhibited on the LIFE cover. The Lindy Hop was still being danced in the 1950s to rock ’n’ roll at sock hops; and was the jump start for the dance styles of the 1960s and 1970s. In fact, people throughout the world still do the Lindy ... or Boogie Woogie, Ro...
