What's Up With New Jersey?

Monday, October 15 2001

What’s up with New Jersey? Prior to 2001 New Jersey meant about as much to me as the love interests of the hottest boy bands. Now, in 2001, I’ve lived there, a good number of the terrorists who attacked the WTC lived about 5 minutes from where I was living (actually, about 3 minutes if it wasn’t for the fact that I had to drive 2 miles to make a U turn to even go towards the city they lived in), and now, they’re saying most of the anthrax letters are coming from Trenton New Jersey. I wasn’t exactly pleased with New Jersey. The people I met and worked with were plenty nice, but as an environment, it just didn’t feel right, and now the taste of it will be stuck in my mind forever.
