Body:"...She's driving down the shore on a Jersey afternoon
She's driving down the same old roads her parents took her through
Hypnotized by those broken lines, broken records lost in time
She's turning down a road that is new and she can't turn back

No, she can't turn back
She can't turn back

Stepping through the darkness, into the light
Betting everything on herself tonight

Tonight

Stepping out of a Asbury Lanes in a midnight snow
The skeleton of this old town feels like it's coming alive
Riots and corruption, beaches and Bruce
These songs were the keys to the engines of our growing up

And we wanna say thanks to the music in our lives
Forgive ourselves for all those lies
Send some love to all the lonely
Don't forget we're all one family
Thanks to the music in our lives for helping us to survive
Lost in one lonely dream, born to run and live free..."


I love the Bouncing Souls and New Jersey<333333..
So, 2008 is almost done.
Jesus, this year went by fast.
But I must admit, the closer it gets to January 1, 2009
the better it seems to get.
Senior year, I need to make this one count.
I didn't fuck up as bad as I thought I would.
Though when I did fuck up, i fucked up good sometimes.
I remember, two or three years back I wanted out of Jersey.
But as I got older I realized that I fucking love New Jersey.


Give me the ocean, Asbury Park boardwalk, and Benny infested beaches.
Play in the snow with Chucks on my feet.
Run out and play in puddles on those rainy days.
Freeze from a wind that'll numb the bone at 6:40 AM waiting for the school bus.
Give me fears of a hurricane, locals playing at the Pony and the Saint.
Let me breathe in the smog from Newark and hear how the crime rate in Camden has gone down.

I'll ride forever on the NJ transit.
Sing my head off while driving on the Garden state parkway.
Play on that childhood swing set.
Roam the streets of Red Bank and Asbury Park.
Plan a piercing or tattoo at Gene's.
Drive past Bruce Springsteen's house.
And attend a school where I can really say, "I am a Spartan."

Let me drive with my friends, blasting Metro Station, Ashlee Simpson, Avril Lavigne, and Fall Out Boy while singing every song at the top of our lungs and just not caring.
Walking to the Allenhurst beach and seeing Conventional Hall perfectly.
Living in an area where the towns are very diverse.
Forever making memories no matter where I go.
Sleeping over my biffles house so we can gossip about everything until 4 in the morning watching Saw and movies that take place in Jersey.
Having Jersey pride and being fucking proud.
Reflecting when Skate n' Surf used to still come around,
and when Conventional Hall help Bamboozle, Taste of Chaos, Warped Tour and so much more.


Yeah, I live for these things and the people I share them with.
Locals, we stick together<3
My friends, I'll be with you forever<3
My first tattoo, will be my tribute to New Jersey, thanking her for being so good me.

Body: Doesn't get much better than that, now does it, Danielle?

People will complain about the dirt and the grime and the crime rate and the assholes- but do they live here? Do they experience everything that we do walking down a street in Allenhurst or a road in Asbury? Do they see everything for what it really is?
Home.
If they did, if they really opened up their eyes to see what an amazing place this is- people would stop to say, "Hey. I get it now.
"

Where else can you go to a diner at three AM just to sit and talk and have a pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich?

And what about if you make a wrong turn, where else would you go to use a very simple jug-handle?

Where else can you go to see Bruce Springsteen or Joe Pesci outside watering their freakin' plants?

Does California have Jack Nicholson? I think not.


And what other state in the whole United States carries as much pride as New Jersey? Where everyone here hates the crap out of each other, but if someone from out of state were to say one wrong thing to you, the rest of us would jump in to beat the hell out of them in your honor.


We're a bunch of misfits, drug addicts, drama queens, and homos- but ya know what? We're fuckin' proud to be where we are. Right here. Right now. On the Jersey shore.


Where our nights consist of yelling at Bennys to get the fuck outta here, watching a movie, piggin' out on Chinese food (or Caitface's 'vegetarian' food, whatever that is! ), gettin' inked and pierced, laughing until our sides hurt, and making more memories than any other person could dream of.


We spend our days working our asses off and we live our nights to the fullest extent. We live for those times where we fill up every spot in the 7/11 parking lot just so a Benny can't slide in. Taking trips to Seaside or Sandy Hook, just because, and stressing ourselves completely out over school just to realize- that in only a couple months, we'll be free again. Back to those needle-infested beaches to play wild games of Truth or Dare and Never Have I Ever in the black of night.


Yes, we are dirty. And yes, we are definitely assholes.


But we are the best kind of people out there.

Best friends 'til the very end, you guys.

And I mean all of you.<3

New Jersey, Represent!
