Aftermath of Hurricane Sandy

        I want to dedicate this blog entry to anyone who suffered because of Hurricane Sandy.  This was a very powerful storm with a horrific aftermath.  It really sucked having no power for awhile: No light, limited ways to entertain myself, PB and Jelly sandwiches everyday, no variety of food or warm meals.  There was no way to even do my hair so I felt like I looked like a neanderthal.  The long 4 hour gas lines were so chaotic and frustrating especially when I did not get gas after waiting that long on more than one attempts. So many fallen trees that blocked roads and damaged houses.  I felt terrible.  I was not able to get in touch with loved ones or see many people I care about at all.  I was going insane without power, but realized I was so lucky compared to so many other people.
       
        I felt horrible for all the people that lost their homes or for the people who's houses flooded.  There are also so many people with homes who still don't have power.   There were and still are so many power lines down.  So many towns that have been practically wiped out! It's a shame and it makes me cry to see how much damage, frustration, pain, and sadness this storm has caused so many people.

         I am hosting some friends at my house who don't have any power and giving them a warm place to sleep.  My family has been treating them to home cooked meals and dinner out to restaurants.  I am also going down to Point Pleasant to see how my beach condo is because it's across the street from the beach.  I am also going to Bay Head to visit close family friends to bring them food, etc. and to try to help them in any way that I can.  I was thinking of volunteering to help families who lost their homes.  I realize that I have been very blessed and fortunate to have good health and still have my home.  This is why I would like to give back to others and do what ever I can for people.  It is a very sensitive time, but hopefully things will get better day by day.  We all just need to stick together.
       
My heart and prayers go out to everyone who is still suffering from the aftermath of the storm!!!

we need only take a deep breath and say, "Yes," and hope will reappear."-Monroe Forester

Ladies, Here's Tips on How to Dress for the Nightclubs

If you are a woman, try not to bring a big purse. Some nightclubs have coat and bag checks, but some don't, so you don't want to get stuck lugging around your big purse or worry about important stuff falling out of the purse.

Switch to a small purse that can go over your shoulder, so you'll have what you need, and can still have fun dancing. This applies to coats in the winter time.  If you can leave it behind, do it!


Going to a nightclub in New York is where the high class type nightclubs are.  It's very important to have style when going dance in NYC. You won't make it past the bouncer's rope if you're not wearing the latest fashions. 


At a high-fashion club, you might find yourself wearing this season's hottest style of dress, a hot new colored cami or halter top with designer jeans or a pencil skirt with low neckline top to go with it.

You can never go wrong with a cute tight fitted dress and heels for the club.  There are a lot of cute club outfits that are affordable at Forever 21.

Animal Print dresses are really hot now too!!  You can always wear leggings (the stockings type) with the dress if it's cold or the dress seems too short.

The smokey eye look is very hot for the evening time at the clubs  Use some blacks, browns, and grey eye shadows and some killer black liquid eyeliner and Loreal has some great 24 hour mascaras!!! 

GOT TO LOVE DUBSTEP!!!

      DubStep is one of my favorite types of House Music!!

  It's like a music ecstasy when I hear this music playing!

    Skream, Skrillex, Flux Pavillion, Gemini, DJ Fresh,  

                Excision, Borgore, and Zomby

BACKGROUND INFROMATION ABOUT DUBSTEP:

• Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London, England, United Kingdom. The music website, Allmusic has described its overall sound as "tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals."

• The earliest dubstep releases date back to 1998 and were darker, more experimental,      instrumental dub remixes of 2-step garage tracks attempting to incorporate the funky elements of breakbeat, or the dark elements of drum and bass into 2-step, which featured as B-sides of single releases.

• Dubstep rhythms are usually syncopated, and often shuffled or incorporating tuplets. 

• The tempo is nearly always in the range of 138–142 beats per minute, with a clap or snare usually inserted every third beat in a bar.

This guy, Dave Crowe is an awesome Dubstep beat boxer from England!! Check him out.  It's a ten minute video, but it's awesome if you get a chance to watch it or at least forward through the video to listen to different parts.
