New Jersey

I love New Jersey, it is a awesome place to live and grow up. Growing up on the New Jersey coastline has made a different impact on the way my life is seen by the outsiders. The Iowans these are people who don’t understand what it is like to live in New Jersey on the coast. Iowa is pretty much the furthest thing from living on the Jersey Shore. Everything that is done in Iowa is different from the Jersey Shore. This is good as well as bad. The good is that there is nothing here to remind me of home so it’s hard to get home sick. The bad is that no one understands what it is like. This makes things very hard to explain. So I took a list off of a web site it might help you so take a look.

You know you’re from the Jersey shore when…

you wear flip-flops til it snows...and sometimes still even then
you know what a BENNY is and you hate them all with a passion
you refuse to pay for parking at the boardwalk and so you drive around for a minimum of fifteen minutes to find a residential spotyou know that
point is not something you do with your finger...its a place you spend 80% of your time
you know the two greatest inventions are Fins and Surf Taco
You have consumed at least 20 lbs. of Rita's itlaian ice in your lifetime

there are no shoes you'd rather wear than uggs...end of story
you do NOT under ANY circumstances pump your own gas
you have had at least one instance of partial nudity at the beach...whether intentional or unintentional
you never say "down the shore" unless you're trying to explain to a benny where you're from
you revel in the secrecy of b*****d beach (name hidden to protect its bennylessness)
you do not say new joisey..in fact you know that no one from joisey does...or anyone for that matter
you don't laugh when you tell people you're from jersey and they say "o what exit har har har"
you know you're the only people on earth who don't have an accent
the smell of the ocean is better than any other scent in the world!
