New Jersey. Come see for yourself.

I've also noticed that NJ-based threads die quick deaths too, so I'll take a stab at keeping this one alive. If you do a member search on the word "Jersey," several pages of members show up, and those are just the ones with "Jersey" in their ID's, so we're not the only ones here. Maybe it's because a lot of the Jersey-based posts, or the ones I've seen, tend to be purely looking for a hook-up, and nobody is interested? Maybe it's the usual Jersey self-loathing? Maybe they got confused and thought they were living in Connecticut? But I am watching the sun rise over the ocean right now, and if everyone could watch this, they would have a very different opinion of our fair state, and they would all want in on our thread.

See, this is why NJ gets such a bad rap all the time! Our threads die because we never say anything interesting. We all look like just a bunch of horn dogs trying to pick up chicks, instead of interesting people in an interesting place. Sure, we're bracketed on two sides by two great cities, but you know, being in the middle of a great sandwich can be its own reward. OK, so since I just alluded to sex there, maybe at the end of the day we are just a bunch of horn dogs.

But where is everyone? I know you're all out there. It's less than 60 days now until the beaches open for the summer. That's something to shout about.

And we have a cool new governor who seems to be a babe magnet, and a cool ex governor who seems to be a man magnet (albeit he let it screw up the work place to his and our detriment). Where else are you going to find that kind of diversity?

Doesn't anyone have a good Turnpike or Parkway story to tell? Nobody has an opinion on the smoking ban? On the level of state debt and the current budget proposal? On the Star Ledger vs. the Bergen Record vs. the Asbury Park Press vs. the Trenton Times? On NY radio vs. NJ radio? (Well, all terrestrial radio sucks these days anyway.) On Atlantic City vs. Las Vegas? (I'm just trying to light a fire here...) On the way the state is protrayed in movies? In television? Princeton vs. Rutgers? The shore vs. the Hamptons? (No contest there in my book, the glitterati can have the Hamptons.)

So it's less than 60 days until the beaches open and the Bennies are on their way down. Show 'em some Jersey pride folks! (Gawd, you'd think I was actually from this place instead of being a transplant.)

 

[beachlover22]

Okay, okay I'll post

Well damn! You made me feel so guilty for lurking that I had to step in. I was raised in PA, but I've been a "Jerzey" girl for more than 20 years (I won't say how many more!) I live in South Jersey, so I can't comment on the newspaper wars or the radio, but I have lost a few dollars in AC, but have never been to Vegas. It's on my to do list right after winning the lottery.
And I could wax poetic about the beach for hours. (I'm on my way there tonight to open up the shore house for the season, YEAH!) There is nothing more peaceful than sitting on my dock, watching the sunrise and listening to the seagulls. (Yes, yes, I know people hate them, but for me it's the quintessential sound of the beach). So I am proud to be a Jersey girl (I'm using the term girl "loosely" here). And there's nothing wrong with a horn dog now and then for a change of pace! LOL

Jersey is a State of Being

You go, Beachlover! Finally, someone in NJ speaks!

I'm with you on the sunrises. Saw a California sunset in a movie the other day, and a friend started waxing poetic. "You haven't lived until..." My response was, "So what?" If you're up early enough to enjoy it (or if you stay up late enough), you get the same thing here, just at the other end of the day. And frankly, it's much more enjoyable because it's so wonderfully quiet and peaceful at that hour.

And being a Jersey "girl" is, I think, just a state of mind, a state of being, rather than an actual chronological measure. You can be a Jersey Girl at any age. So, you're still in the pack.

And conversely, you can be 21, but never become a Jersey girl. I think being a real Jersey Girl requires a certain je ne sais quoi, a certain undefinable something. Like knowing how to drive, not necessarily what you drive. Like knowing the truly cool bars and the actually good restaurants, as opposed to the trendy ones, and the actual cool nights to go there. Like knowing the sunrise is one of the best parts of the day, even though, when you're in a horn dog frame of mind, that's not usually where the action is. (Couldn't resist giving you a little wink and a nod on that one.)

 

[beachlover22]

Well Jerseyman I'll wink back at you and agree that life is a state of mind-I'm still waiting to see what will happen when I grow up! I really should be much more mature and organized by this age, but I still feel a lot younger than the nefarious calender would reveal. So I just keep waking up and enjoying what life has to offer, and maybe tomorrow I'll clean out those closets, and organize the basement. Enjoy the rest of the beautiful day.

 

[jerseyman1963]

A clean closet is overrated. Lately I've begun to understand what people mean when they say, "My body is 80 but I feel like a 35 year old." Never understood that as a kid, but lately I am totally understanding that, and really learning the meaning of "age is just a number."

And who's to say what mature is at any age? When I look back at my late teens and most of my 20's I think I was too mature. I missed the boat. Took me most of my 20's to realize that I was trying to act like I was 10 or 20 years older, with all the attendant trappings, and that maybe some day I'd get there, but for the moment I was missing out on life and all the things I was supposed to be doing as a 20something year old. Well, it wasn't THAT bad. I did have at least some fun. But I did spend a lot of time worrying as opposed to just living.

One of my current favorite friends is in her mid 50's and ever since she got divorced she's been on a mission to roll back the clock and live the life she missed by getting married way too young, and to the wrong guy. She's having a ball, basically living day to day, and while some would look at her and say she's acting immature, I say, as long as she's put some thought into it and is happy, who's to say? And funny enough, in between partying and dating, her career is zooming.

So who's to say? Maybe the world would be a better place after all if we all really did start acting like teenagers!

Supposed to be a beatiful week -- don't spend it all in the closet.

 

[beachlover22]

I promise not to spend any time in the closet! I just completed my certification as a Master Gardener, so I'm outside any chance I get (just finished shovelling 6 yds. of mulch!!) I agree with your friend that life is too short to waste time being miserable and trying to fit the mold everyone else has put you in. After years of being shackled to the role of wife and mother, and putting everyone's needs before my own, I have finally asked for a little attention to my needs. And contrary to popular belief, the world did not implode, and my family has learned to accept the new me rather than live without me (I had contemplated leaving). I feel better than I have in years. I just wish I hadn't waited so long to ask for what I wanted emotionally, sexually and financially.
