[Shotimes] (OT) "I Want to Pump Myself Up" an ode to NJ

[Ian Fisher]

lol

About 5 years ago, my ex was so excited to pump her
own gas (she was going to school in Gettysburg) that
she filled up with diesel. She didn't make it down the
street.

Of course this is the same person that drove over a
curb at 50+ mph to "make her exit". She made it with 3
bent rims, a flat and a bubbled tire on her 2 week old
02 BMW e46. We're still friends; I wouldn't say this
to embarass her if she read the list but I don't let
her live it down when we're among friends. :)

NJ is a pretty diverse state. We get a lot of flack
from the bad points (traffic congestion, pollution,
etc) but there are some amazingly beautiful parts to
the state as well. Honestly, I hated NJ until I went
to Rutgers and got to see the rest of it. From beaches
to mountains to cities, to farmland-we have it all. An
interesting mix of people, culture, history and
landscapes.
