Cities throughout America except those with dry spells had their skies lit with fireworks tonight. For Pittsburgh, the pyrotechnics at The Point was spectacular. I've never seen any fireworks show as beautiful as tonight's. There was a large crowd at downtown to celebrate America's Independence. I'll be posting the video clips of the show as soon as I get my camera back.



the crowd at the park was great except for the shooting incident that marred the event. i just got back to the place where my friends and i were sitting. i heard a few shots. i thought they were fireworks warmup so i didn't really bothered. a few minutes later, police officers were shouting for the crowd to make way. i saw this african american man being rushed out of the park on a stretcher.



later when i went home, i checked the local news. 2 youths were shot just before the fireworks started at the park.

Beautiful days are long gone

I can't seem to breathe

Feels like it hasn't been that long

Since you walked away from me



Now I can try to act real strong

But you and I both know

I still think of you that way

And you should know, that



The beautiful lights, the star-filled nights

They don't mean a thing

Cause you were my star

So it don't seem right

Without you here with me



Now I can try to act real strong

But you and I both know

It's hard for me to say

You were my soul



Now I could say that I don't love you no more

And I could say that I've closed the door, for our love

And I could tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways

But baby I just wouldn't be the same

'Cause girl your love is still on my brain



Now when you're in love

It takes time to heal

When someone's broken your heart

And changed just how you feel



Girl I thought that you'd never do me that way

But even after all I still think of you that way



Now I could say that I don't love you no more

(I could say this, I could say this)

And I could say that I've closed the door, for our love

And I could tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways

But baby I just wouldn't be the same

'Cause girl your love is still on my brain



Now love is a game

That we both like to play

Well will I win or lose if I go or if I stay, yea

Even though I try to hide my broken heart inside

Girl you know me inside-out

I can't get you off of my mind



Now I could say that I don't love you no more

(I could say that I, yea yea)

And I could say that I've closed the door, for our love

(Closed the door)

And I could tell you I feel it's time for us to go our separate ways

(No no)

But baby I just wouldn't be the same

(Wouldn't be the same)

'Cause girl your love is still on my brain

(Still on my brain)
