New Jersey my home

may be cooler than you think

best Italian food




Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi

Jon Stewart, Kevin Smith, oh my

Sinatra ain't bad




no one can drive well

but there's a train to the shore

and lots to New York




best pizza, delis

NYC over-priced

other pizza sucks




extreme weather here

never a "so dull" moment

no terror, either




people are so blunt

not all have a bad accent

except at the mawwwwll





Much as I complain about Stuck-Up, in many ways I am glad to be back in Jersey. And I've always been glad to be from Jersey (hence, you know, the internet name - which seemed a lot cuter when I lived in Kansas City). We have Bruce Springsteen, the Sopranos and a magazine called, "Weird, N.J.". We really do have the best pizza. We have the shore. We have Atlantic City (I hear it's interesting. I've never actually been there.). We have a small ski mountain. We have more malls than museums - but we're one train ride away from the best museums in the world. People expect you to be rude and LOVE you when you're not. And there's so MUCH to make fun of - I really do love my home state.
