My brief thoughts about New Jersey, also, I'll be going to New York City for a day

As much as I am tired of Florida myself, there is no place like home. I've been up here since the 8th of July, and I'm four days away from going back home. It's mostly been work, and a little vacation. I hope to never return here for any longer than a weekend. It is unfortunate that I have family up here.

I would like to know who's responsible for designing the roads around here, someone please explain to me why in order to make a left I have to drive up the road half a mile and turn right?

I still ask, why can I not pump my own gas here? I've been doing it all my life and this is the only state that I know of that won't let you do it.

While up here I met a cute girl and we went out on a date. I brought up the fact that in Florida, we actually pump our own gas. She was Mexican as well and had only lived in Mexico and New Jersey. She looked at me in disbelief and nearly called me a liar. She honestly told me that she wouldn't know what to do if she had to put gas in her own car.

I've haven't talked to her since.

Seriously though, she wasn't my type. She reeked of pirate. :chunobi:

--------------------------

I'll be finally getting the chance to go to New York for a full day before I go back, the first place I'm going to the Nintendo World Store. After that, can you guys reccomend some places to go that speaks "gamer," such as import shops, eletronic districts, and and the like? Thank you in advance.

I always feel obligated to tip the people that pump the gas in Jersey.
Is that how its supposed to go?

For something that I can do by myself, they shouldn't deserve a tip from me, but I would terrible if I didn't. So they get $1 from me.

Before I forget, I would like to give a shout out to the owner of the "linksys" wireless network, for without your unsecure network, my life up here would not be as sane. :chu:

Its against the law to pump your gas here.

I didnt realize how lame the road/exit system was in New Jersey until I lived in California. Its horrible. I think it might have to do with the fact that the state and the towns are very old and very crowded. Ive been going around the state to job interviews lately and getting lost a lot.

New York City is an amazing place. Its full of culture, history, and excitement. Theres a hundred thousand new, fun things to do for you. And youre asking for import shops and electronic districts? Stop being a nerd and go see what the city has.

For the record, though, the import shops are half-assed and overpriced, and the arcades are grungy and filled with Triads. Just go do something else, seriously.

I hate NYC suggestion threads.

I'm up for anything. I would have liked to go see The Producers on Broadway, but I don't think I will have the chance.

I hate your mom, when she doesn't wash down there.

Yeah...you don't tip at a gas station.

I find it hard to believe that there could be a worse traffic/road system than LA's.

I live in NYC and I can't tell you what to do for a day because I never go into the city unless it's for shopping. :(
