The City

City of Blinding Lights
U2

The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you grow
I knew much more then than I do now

Neon heart, day-glow eyes
The city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Oh you look so beautiful tonight...

Don't think before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs, purple irises the camera can't see

I've seen you walk unafraid
I've seen you in the clothes you've made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me?

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground

Oh you look so beautiful tonight...tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Time...time....time...won't leave me as I am
But time won't take the boy out of this man
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight

Philly Girl

If you know anything about ML Baseball you know that the Philadelphia Phillies are infamous for going on streaks in which they bring their fans to hope that maybe just maybe this year we'll it make to to the playoffs....and if you really know anyhting about the Phillies you'll know that they haven't done so in 14 years UNTIL this Sunday. I having lived for basically my entire life in Philly am a die hard Phillies fan and have had my hopes dashed for the last 14 years of seeing my wonderful team in the playoffs until this year when we WON the NL East Championship. I watched the game on Sunday with my dad while flipping back to the Mets game to see if they were loosing (thank goodness they did!) and holding my breath almost praying the Phillies wouldn't choke like so many times before. When Brett Myers threw the final strike to end the game 6-1 I along with the city of Philadelphia went crazy. FINALLY We've done! Between jumping up and down and running around the living room I managed to call my cousin a die hard Braves fan to (for the first time EVER) rub in his face what MY team did!

In case you haven't been able to tell I've been taken by the playoff fever that has infected about 99.999% of Philadelphia. I'm exstatic to see my team in the playoffs! I took these picture when I went to a Phillies vs Mets game in August and believe it or not the Phillies won and it was the first game I had ever been to that they had done so and I've been to many Phillies games so that's really saying something!! I'm so pumped right now for my team, my school is even having "Phillies Day" tomorrow which is a miracle unto its self!
