new jersey - what can i say? see, i'm originally from NJ and when i was 12, my parents dragged my across country kicking and screaming to california and i've been thanking them ever since.
in some ways i love this state, in others... meh, not so much. flew in thursday evening, left saturday afternoon - here's my thoughts (with apologies to all i'm about to offend);
- newark. tear it down. oh wait, looks like it already has been.
- jersey shore: THIS is a vacation destination? COME ON. LBI, maybe - "slease"side? hardly.
- jersey shore: kicks freakin' ass - yeah, it sucks and rocks at the same time - kind of like that girlfriend you had in high school that you hated/loved/hated/loved/hated. you probably ain't marrying her, but you ain't forgetting her either.
- princeton/lawrence - wow. yeah - wow. every time i'm here, it just blows me away how gorgeous it is...
- is this entire state covered in on-ramps?? well - to be fair, maybe its just half - the other half is covered in off-ramps.
- the turnpike... exit 9 for those of you in the know.
- the garden state parkway: okay, legit beef here - i had spent the weekend dumping all my loose quarters in those baskets for the privilege of driving and WTF is this? i'm coming up to the one near matawan or whatever and i'm thinking "perfect - i got me 60 cents, i'm set" - and BLAMO! this bad boy is 70 cents. to the cool dude in the guardhouse who let me off without making me pay the extra dime - thanks! to the morons who decide to not tell anyone about the only toolbooth on the road that ISN'T 25 cents: @*#!&*! you.
- do not speed on 195. just don't.
