I’ve been really busy with work the last few days, which is why I haven’t been blogging, though I guess I don’t really have much to blog about, otherwise I would have posted sooner. I am trying to finish up as much as I can before Friday since this weekend we are going away and I will be away from my email for a few days.
One of my clients is doing a Jersey Shore website. For the most part that show offends me as a New Jersian, mostly because the show put a bunch of New Yorkers in a house in Seaside and would have you believe that these people are from NJ. Obviously most people from New Jersey are upset about this, even the governor has come out and said it was offensive, and that is probably the only thing I would ever agree with him on. If you are from NJ then you know that isn’t even how we talk, these people act like the spoiled Gotti kids that had a show a few years ago.
I must say that I am amused by the number of shows about New Jersey that are going on television, but they aren’t true to life, most of them have New Yorkers playing New Jerseans, much like the Jersey Shore. I wish they’d follow people around Middlesex County College, or Brookdale, or Rutgers, and show what real New Jersey college aged people is like. Even just putting a camera in Denny’s or Peter Pank in Sayreville would be more accurate and possibly more entertaining than some of these shows.
Generally speaking, Neopets is a virtual pet site. There’s a lot you can do there… I’ll copy and paste what I wrote on my “where to find me” page:
“Neopets is, in short, a virtual pet site. However, there’s much more to it than that–there are tons of fun games to play, and you earn Neopoints depending on your score. You use these Neopoints to buy all sorts of items from NPC (non-player character) shops or user shops for various reasons: feeding your pets, playing with your pets, collecting items, training your pets to fight in the Battledome, or collecting avatars to show off on the Neoboards! You can paint your pets really cool colors, too. Hey, why are you still here? Go try it out! My username is nice_girl_01 if you want to message me. :)”

I haven’t watched Jersey Shore or any other shows; I can’t stand those kinds of shows. They’re ridiculous.
Having a bunch of family from New Jersey, I could tell that the cast of Jersey Shore aren’t actually from New Jersey. I hate that show. It’s so annoying and trashy. I personally believe that are a waste of airtime on the television. I seriously miss MTV when it actually played, ya know, music!?
