WATCH OUT FOR THE JERSEY DEVIL . . .

It is odd living in a world that is at war already, but your side won’t acknowledge it. Easter being the Holiest of holidays for Christians, and I have to hear from Breitbart.com about some garbage person in Pakistan slaughtering 72 innocent women and children with a bomb at an Easter celebration. I think someone’s forgotten what happens when you wake the sleeping giant. I had been struggling with Breitbart.com‘s 75% - 25% favoritism of Trump to Ted. Knowing that a good re

If you have never been to a Less Than Jake show, you’re missing out. I was in the 7th grade the first time I heard the album Losing Streak. I was on a class-trip and a friend of mine lent me the CD from his older brother’s collection. Before this, I had heard a few ska songs from No Doubt and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones on the radio, but Losing Steak changed my life. I sat by myself on the bus and listened to every song over and over. Growing up as a “millennial,” I was com

2011 Director: Jim Mickle Writers: Jim Mickle, Nick Damici (also lead character) (Available on Netflix) Stake Land was very well-crafted. The cinematography was truly delightful to watch. It was unique, without being overly “artsy” and perfectly captures the environment. Despite the shit-sandwich these characters are encountering on a daily-basis, the movie had a sense of peace to it that makes the unimaginable tolerable to watch. I would have loved some more one-liners for

The New Jersey Devils hockey team is one of the few professional sports teams that actually represents the Garden State (thanks Brooklyn). New Jersey does host the Giants and the Jets, but those teams do what many northern New Jersey residents do when they're away on vacation, they say they are from New York. Down in south Jersey, they root for the Eagles, which is sacrilege to me, being from central Jersey (yes, there is a central Jersey). Most people from my area and above

The Jersey Devil is obviously most well-known in New Jersey. The Pine Barrens of South Jersey more specifically, is known to be its home. The Devil’s radius seems to end in Monmouth County to the north, and borders of Philadelphia and Delaware to the west and south respectively. There is speculation as to whether the Jersey Devil has ever left this specific area in the north-east. Research has led to some stories of individuals, being afflicted by the Jersey Devil and re-lo

Okay, so the manager was sitting at his desk. The first employee walked in and said “It smells like sulfur in hallway.” Manager asked “What does sulfur smell like?” Another employee said “like rotten eggs.” Manager remembers that and says “Oh, that’s right.” Other employee “But it’s not that bad. Probably coming from the warehouse.” Next employee walks in and says. “Can you smell the spring in the air?” Manager doesn’t hear that part. Employee sits down and says “Could you sm

Jack Cuomo - Main Character "Whenever I was the one throwing a party, I would always stay up all night. The first reason was that I was paranoid of people drawing a dick or something on my face. Second reason was that I was not going to tap out and leave the house at risk of being destroyed by very drunk friends who catch a second wind and decide to fight in the living room. My friend Jerry was usually the one who would make it until sunrise with me. Jerry and I would usual

The Wunderbrook House has not existed in this spot for over 20 years. For anonymity, I will leave out the house and street number. In Belmar, New Jersey, especially after hurricane Sandy, new homes began to stand where old homes once stood. In many cases, the owners made sure the new house resembled the original house in some stylistic way. The new house looks quite stunning most days. The pale grey and white trim is emblematic of the classical-modern colonial-style homes

Many of the events in Buzzkill New Jersey are inspired by actual events. People who grew up in New Jersey can agree that the term "clique" most accurately describes the social landscape. Groups of friends (usually a group of guy best-friends and a group of girl best-friends) would hang together most of their free time. These cliques all have allies and enemies. Which town you were from was usually the biggest over-arch to unify the cliques, though age-based differences and

Just when you thought warm weather was close, you forgot about March. Summer is at least closer than it was. The coming months are really great in Belmar, NJ for the locals who have been cramped inside all winter, staring at a beach that was 19 degrees. There will be some nice days, but March could end up being worse than February if Mother Nature says so. Regardless, f***-off February, you cold miserable bitch.
