OC NJ Moments of Greatness

  • After my sister waited all week to buy a funnel cake, the night finally arrived. She bought it, turned around, took 2 steps, and a seagull attacked it and knocked it on the ground. Without a doubt one of the coolest and funniest things I have EVER seen
  • My golf game left off where it was...really bad...but I love playing. I was on pace to par the 7th until I got to hot with my wedge which lobbed it over the green and somewhere in the woods.
  • Nothing says authentic Italian than walking into a restaurant and seeing an Italian cook slouched in a booth wearing a sweat stained T-shirt.
  • Nothing like dressing the same way as every member of your fam and walking on the beach while people stare at you like you're weird. What could be better? How about flesh eating sand flies?
  • My nephew is pretty much like Maggie Simpson: doesn't say any words and falls every fourth step
  • While standing in the hat store, a young boy walked in front of me to his dad and said, "Dad, what team is better than the Eagles?" Both me and his dad looked at him with a stunned look like he had sworn. We both said, "There is no team better than the Eagles." A great bonding moment with a fellow Eagle fan.
  • Hoagies and cheesesteaks...enough said. Playing on the vacation spot of Philly...priceless.
  • Did I mention my sister and the funnel cake???

Personal Update

-Just read 600 pages in 2 1/2 days of Systematic Theology. My head is spinning, but it seemed like the same concepts over and over again. A lot of apologetical stuff. Now...to write the 15 page summary...sigh. Another paper due two weeks later and I'm trying to write three more book reviews that are due in two weeks...my mind is blown.
-Down to the Penguins and Red Wings in the Stanley Cup finals. I can officially say I could care less who wins although I really don't like the Penguins with pretty boy Sidney Crosby.
-Less than 40 days till my vacation to Ocean City NJ. I am SO ready to get back home to the Northeast. How I miss my beloved Philadelphia more and more every day I am apart from it.
-Work is work. Nothing to new there.
-I have been watching a lot of Man vs. Wild lately. Bear Grylls is the man...flat out.
-I'm ready for football season already. Eagles will be lackluster again, but I love them anyway.

Wildwood Voted NJ Favorite Beach????


Story

You got to be kidding me. This poll is so biased it makes me want to throw up blood.

Wildwood is a hole. Its a low budget beach with nickel slots for the kids, bars every block, and hotel after hotel. I have been there a few times and have not been impressed. You get out of your car and you already feel scummy. There is nothing family, clean, civil, middle class, or nice about any part of Wildwood.

Ironically, Philly.com did their own poll. Last I checked, Ocean City was heads and tails above all other beaches. Wildwood wasn't even in second place! It was one of the worst in the poll. Why do news sources come up with inaccurate polls? OC is a dry town, with a nice boardwalk, family oriented, few hotels, long beach lines, and very clean. The only beach I ever consider on the Jersey Shore is OC. It has everything you would want in a beach.
