Thoughts on Looking at the Bright Side

Fried Oreos. An oreo cookie, covered in batter and deep fat fried. Powdered sugar. Heaven. I guess there are some good things about New Jersey after all. Seeing as how I only have one month left here, I have decided to start a New Jersey Bucket List, I know I am not dying anytime soon, it means before I leave Jersey. I have made a few friends here and want to try and enjoy myself a little before I leave. The list is not very long yet (just had the idea today, need to brainstorm. So far we have:
1. Lay on the beach at sunset / nighttime (bonus point for campfire but I think that's illegal)
2. See the cast of Jersey Shore in their natural habitat
3. Play mini-golf at the boardwalk

Pretty short and lame, but at least it is something to look forward too. On a more incredible note I only have six more days of work!!!!!!!

This is my new favorite kind of music...being chill.

Thoughts on Jersey Bore...NIGHTLIFE

Seaside Heights Boardwalk, 4th of July Weekend. Horrible place. There was rumor that Karma club was 18 and up, but it turned out to be false. The Jersey Shore cast were there but hiding in their house. New Jersey is horrible.

Thoughts on The Jersey Bore

So I actually did something with my day off. Brother Ben is here from Washington so we had a good old fashioned New Jersey Day. Started of right with some Dunken Doughnuts, followed by a haircut and some discount shopping at Burlington Coat Factory. Then we packed up and headed to the supposedly wonderful Jersey Shore. Oh boy did I have a blast...Bumper to bumper traffic all the way there. Turns a 10 min drive into an hour + long drive. When we got there it was super crowded, even at the Brick Township beach. This surprised me since I thought all of Brick was retirement communities and yet I saw teenagers ect ect at the Brick Beach. I now just wonder whether they are real people or some kind of tourism/beach/robots... No way to know for sure, but I never see them around town so it is kinda weird. Anyways besides the crowds the water was not very appealing. I mean temperature wise it was great, but I guess an orgy had occurred recently and every single fish in the Atlantic ocean was in attendance. The water was full of fish eggs...not like the delicious ones on sushi. They were small clear balls of jelly with a blue sperm inside them. Imagine swimming in tapioca pudding, except the tapioca balls are fetuses. Things got pretty controversial when my mom asked me if I thought the eggs were technically alive. I declined to comment because it was my day off and I did not want to get into the whole fish abortion / pro-life debate. Either way, Jersey Shore kind of sucked...I am left with the question: was it really worth it to leave the house on my day off??

Thoughts on..OOHHHHH WA%@$!%

So today was day off, some old friends came down from NYC for some good new-fashioned time at the Jersey Shore. After the dentist visit (my teeth are pretty good at being teeth apperentally...) we went over to Brick Beach #1 and set up beach camp. It was a cloudy day, a fairly strong wind was blowing. Not exactly prime weather for my first summer day at the Shore. There were probably five other people at the beach, every one wa very non-chalant. So I walk out into the water, the icy cold water wading around my ankles, as I survey the vast expanse of sea I see a black flicker in my proliferal vision. Now I am not sure if I have explained this but me and the ocean have a deal. Basically we are chill as long as I am no more then like 10 feet out and there is no living marine life near me. This flash of movement really freaked me out. I did not say anything at first, I was not sure I saw anything and did not want to be a "sissy". I slowly back out of the water and watch the area where I saw the thing. All of a sudden...yeah WHALE. There is a freaking whale like 20 feet of the shore and this thing breaches the surface and spouts a huge plume of water. It dives back under and swims up the coast. We followed it for awhile and basked in the beauty of it all. It had to be at least 15 ft long, I am no Whaleologist, but it looked like a Humpback Whale. Not sure but either way it was, for lack of better words, a legit whale. Pretty intense first trip to the shore.

After that we went to Seaside Heights. It was crowded, trashy and dirty. Like the TV show. So to complete the tile of the Blog..."OHHHHHHH WWHHAAAALLLLEEEE!!!!" You will notice that is in quotations, if anyone can tell me what that quote is from..I will give you 100 Internets.

Thoughts on the Jersey Shore some more...

Yes that rhymed...and yes it was on purpose. Mom,Dad and I went walking on the boardwalk today, since the weather was very permitting. We all drove out to Seaside Heights, the home of the Jersey Shore TV show. If you have not noticed being the location of Jersey Shore is pretty much the only thing this area has going for it. That and having the most strip malls per square mile then any other city in the USA. I have heard that from a couple of people, not sure if it is true, but if not the most then it is most definitely second or third. I swear they just built roads. Then on both sides they built crappy shopping malls and filled them with Pizza shops, gyms, nail salons and grocery stores. It goes like that for miles! pizza, gym, salon, grocery, pizza, gym, salon, and on and on. After they built all that, all the people who owned and worked at said stores built houses. That my friends is how Brick New Jersey came to be. After awhile all the original owners retired, so a dozen retirement communities were built to house the retired owners.

Wow, lost track of the point there a bit. So we were walking on THE Jersey Shore boardwalk. Past all the booths and food stands from the show. I must say, looks like a pretty fun place to go in the summer. It was only half open but they seem to have a lot of fun activities there. We walked past the "Shore Shack" and the people there were preparing for the summer season. I walked right past the guy who owns the store, THE ONE FROM THE SHOW! Yes, I walked right past someone who had a somewhat regular role on a popular television show. Most exciting thing that has happened to me in quite some time.

Thoughts on the Jersey Shore *a different part*

I went outside today, and it felt like Florida. But wait, last I checked I was in New Jersey. No, I had not been kidnapped, teleported or in anyway moved. It was actually nice in New Jersey. It was in the 80s and humid out. My mother and I were sooo excited that we rushed to the Jersey Shore. No, not the Seasides Heights trashy part. A different boardwalk that was a lot nicer, less corny as well. We walked up and down, people watched and got pizza. I came to the conclusion that I should get my ears pierced, because every other 18 or so guy had them...JK LOL like I would ever do that. Other then that pretty uneventful day. My brother ended up in the hospital after kneeing himself in the face. If I left this unexplained it sounds like my brother is quite the idiot. But there is actually a reason why he kneed himself in the face. Being a proskier and all, he missed his landing and hit the flat...knee + chin = WIN!

sorry about the lame posts...
I am lacking inspiration...
