What's on your mug?

A state on the East Coast near New York City and Philadelphia. First off (this goes for all you New Yorkers), we are not called fucking JOIISEEYY. No not all of New Jersey looks like the Meadowlands. We have rich suburbs in Bergen County like Ridgewood, Woodcliff Lake, and Saddle River but we also have really ghetto places like Newark, Paterson, and Trenton. It is home to whites, latinos, blacks, and asians with no race really having a majority. Also, the Jersey Shore is nothing like the idiotic MTV show, and they're actually some of the funnest beaches around. New Yorkers think they're better because they're more "cultured" and "sophisitcated" while they live in 1 bedroom apartments and have never even been to New Jersey. No we are not all guidos and only some of us are even Italian. Every kid here gets a car at 17 and even though we have shitty weather at times, it is better than the boring ass weather in Seattle and LA.

New Yorker: Oh my gawd all those people from Joisy are so stupid and crazy, just like The Sitch, and Ron and Sam. New Jerseyan: Um no actually no one is like that and I'm not even Italian. By the away is everyone from New York ugly and a bad driver?

Q: Why are New Yorkers so depressed? A: Because the light at the end of the tunnel is New Jersey. New Jersey is the "garden state", where the fuck are the gardens??? If you live on the border of New York/New Jersey and you can operate a car, you are FUCKED ! Whoever is smart enough to give these people license FUCK YOU! Because I promise that everyone drives at least 20 miles per hour below the speed limit. My overall consensus is New Jersey needs : A) A shit load of frebreeze B) A few buildings taller than 100 ft. C) Better bitches on the beaches D) All of the Above The correct answer is : FUCK NEW JERSEY

"Holy shit Brian did you see that Jersey girl?" "Oh you mean that hooker?" "Dude, you smell like shit. Did you take a shower today?" "Yea, but then I went through New Jersey."

New Jersey is an awesome place to live, the best in the entire country. Not at ALL like it is on Jersey Shore. Hell, Jersey Shore isn't even filmed in New Jersey! Fact: We say 'yo' and 'fuck' A LOT. Most people add 'yo' in every sentence. In fact, I find it weird when people don't. Fact: We are fast drivers. People not from New Jersey think we're insane, crazy drivers but in Jersey, we all know that 60 mph REALLY means 80. Fact: Practically everyone famous lived here at one point. (Think: Bruce Springsteen, David Tyree, Queen Latifah, Anne Hathaway) Whitney Houston lived a block down from my dad when she was younger. Meryl Streep lived two blocks down from where we live now (she doesn't live there anymore, but still). Buzz Aldrin went to my middle school AND high school. Christina Ricci went to my high school. And Stephen Colbert and his family go to the same church as me. New Jersey kicks ass. Deal with it.

New Jerseyan: Yo, let's go down the shore. Other New Jerseyan: Fuck, yeah!

newark and camden. "if you drive through one-a dem towns, y'all getcha self shot.", "'yo' that place is whacked" and many other references are a little TOO unrealistic... point blank: if you new yorkers think that either newark or camden isnt a safe place to live, you OBVIOUSLY havent been to one of the most dangerous places to live in YOUR OWN STATE, Bedford-Stuyvesant (also known as Bed-Stuy) that particular place earned it's own line in a song about a crazy man. (yay) ---Ive been stranded in the combat zone, I walked through bedford sty alone, Even rode my motorcycle in the ra-in. And you told me not to drive, But I made it home alive, So you said that only proves that Im in-sa-ne. (corus)---- by billy joel besides, dont you have anything better to do than trash our state? i mean, COME ON!

yay... there really is no 'example' of new jersey, it is what it is: the best damn place you could ever hope to live.
