I Suck At Going to New Jersey

today, my friends (hot amy and jen) and karen are taking a little vacation together. their destination: bon jovi's home state of new jersey.

as much as i'm sure the three of them would like to visit and meet bon jovi, they are actually going to new jersey to visit my friend (pam). pam, her husband, and her children, moved to new jersey some time ago. pam's husband (ed) works for verizon and a job opportunity came up out there. thus, they moved to new jersey.

now, i suck at going to new jersey. i wish i could say i always wanted to go to new jersey. sadly, new jersey has never been a place that i had ever wanted to go visit... probably because i don't know what is in new jersey outside of atlantic city, which is known for its casino gambling. since i'm not a big gambler, atlantic city never appealed to me... and subsequently, i guess new jersey never appealed to me. don't get me wrong, even though i'm not a big gambler... i can still whup hot amy's sorry butt in any wagered competition. (and really, those competitions are not gambling per se because it's almost a given that i'll win those. with hot amy's genetic predisposition to lose, the house always wins.)

that said, i'm hoping the three of them have a good time in new jersey. maybe when they get back and i hear about their little vacation, perhaps it'll change my desire to visit the home state of bon jovi. (interesting fact, jack nicholson was also born in new jersey. that explains a lot about him... just kidding.)

in the meantime, i get to have a man weekend! i can do manly things. plus, i get to spend some quality time with my bff (kerry).
