I'm Going Back to New Jersey for a While.
« on: July 28, 2008, 02:09:53 PM »
Tomorrow, I'll be leaving for my trip to New Jersey for a summer vacation to visit my family (I had went there back in March for a proper settlment in a resting place for my mother). I'll be there for exactly four weeks, and I'll try to be online as often as I can to check on a few things. From then, until the next time I log on, I'll be seeing you all soon 8).

If I get a camera, I'll post up any pictures I take there when I get back.

I hope you have a fun vacation in New Jersey! Be sure to keep an eye out for good turbo deals at the local shops over there.

Have fun in the Garden State.  Are you bringing the Turbo to keep from going through withdrawal?

P.S. - Remember to keep your TG-16 a secret, else the thugs will deliver a severe beating.  :lol:

One question..WHY??
J/K....never liked Jersey is all ;)  Have a fun trip  :mrgreen:


I asked my grandfather about the negative views about the state the first day that I had arrived there (about some people believe that people are stupid there and how the state can have a foul oder). He had told me that sometimes people get the wrong idea about the state, and how the Philadelphia City area is a beautiful place in it (with mountains, as he says, but they could be large hills, as well). I have no hatred against the place where I was born, but I do perfer living in Las Vegas since, no matter how hot it gets, there are hardly any insect bites to worry about and snow-shoveling to deal with, plus many locations are open 24 hours a day.

I hope you have a fun vacation in New Jersey! Be sure to keep an eye out for good turbo deals at the local shops over there.

Heh heh...

 

How that story came about, though, as my grandmother told, that there was once a woman whom had given birth to twelve children, and as she was pregnant with a thirteenth one,  she had yelled that she would rather have the devil than a thirteenth kid, and once it was born, the baby came out with devil-like features. Other sources, such as Answers.com, state versions/details of the legend such as the devil eating the twelve children and caused havoc, and how a woman bearing her first baby, being the ugliest thing ever to be seen, was thrown into a river where he drowned, and a rock at the riverbottom was from then haunted by a maleviolent devil that would suck victims to the bottom, where eventually the bodies would rise to the surface. In any case, he's said to reside in Pine Barrens, but I have never really visited there when I was in the state.

Have fun in the Garden State.  Are you bringing the Turbo to keep from going through withdrawal?

No, but I did bring my Nintendo Wii with me, which I had Lords of Thunder downloaded before I left  for  me to play :mrgreen:.

It's been over a week now since I've returned from my vacation (I know I've stated that I would be gone for exactly four weeks, but I had counted the first Tuesday as the first one, so I've counted four instead of the actual little to over three weeks (or 22 days). It took me a few days to get settled and ready, and I have been going to college at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (abbreviated as UNLV), as well, but I have been able to get prepared to share photos on here.

For the moments that weren't captured on photo, I had swam in the public swimming pool in my grandparent's neighborhood to the beach with my grandfather, went to see Phantom of the Opera in New York, and ate at the waterfront buffet at the Harrah's hotel in Atlantic City.

I did not get my Sony Cybershot digital camera until around August 5th, and had taken pictures from major events, including going to a zoo, visiting New York to see the play The Heights, and a jet boat ride on my aunt's boyfriend, can be seen here:
