Apostrophe S

That’s right, this will be the final 10 Weeks in Jersey post. Actually, it turned into more like 12 weeks in Jersey. But I’ve got no complaints. After 3 months, I’m ready to spend more time out here. Not only do I find the Shore itself fascinating, but the proximity to other, more interesting places intrigues me.

I would tell you what I’ve done for the last 5 days or so, but I have to believe you’re getting tired of this.

Went to a show blah blah went to the city blah blah went to bars blah blah. You know the drill. (Except, this time Michelle joined me on my adventure. Actually, it was OUR adventure. We went to the Met and Grimaldi’s. Grimaldi’s pizza is awesome.)

What I really want to focus on for this, my final post, is something Roxy calls a “summation.” You know, like at the end of “The Breakfast Club” when Anthony Michael Hall’s voice over tells us “how it is.”

• Well, here’s how it is. (With the help of some friends.)
• Good parking takes good juju.
• Smooth talking CAN get you into a nightclub. Prior experience with the doorman WILL clinch it.
• Things are amazing. Meals can be beautiful.
• It is worth the drive.
• Push towards the front, it’s better from there.
• Houston is not a city in Texas.
• You don’t NEED the lime.
• I’m not technically a bennie.
• Take more photos.
• Polaroids are objects.
• Remember the ocean.
• Verb is bond.
• We emote, therefore we are.
• nothings always extraordinary, but within the bound of the ordinary do what you feel strongest about. j.r. pritchett
• Listen to things kids say.
• You’ll never be happy unless you make yourself happy.
• I don’t wanna die. I wanna dance my life away.(Prince) And fyi: My Milkshake IS better than yours. (Roxy by way of Kelis)
• “In case you didn’t know, RAZ is the new shit”-Har Mar Superstar
• Hair grows back but you can’t go back . And why would you want to anyway?
• Resistance is futile.
• You’ll forget the separation anxiety, I promise.
• One part tequila. One part pineapple juice. Two parts Southern Comfort.
• Old dogs CAN learn new tricks.
• Sex, drugs and rock n’ roll. Not necessarily in that order.
• Sometimes, multi-taskers like to do one thing at once.
• time is the biggest happening, sometimes, and the biggest waste
• Bring money for tolls. In fact, just bring money. Jersey only takes cash.
