I LOVE New Jersey! We are a unique group of individuals! We are hard working, loyal, dedicated, and full of heart! We stand up for ourselves and don't take sh*t from anyone! We are the backbone of America not the armpit of America!!! Jersey is one of the wealthiest states in the country filled with industry, the best schools, and the birth places of hundreds of celebrities, musicians, and politicians! People only talk sh*t because they either want us or want to be us!

5. Now I understand my preoccupation with Dunkin Donuts...
I was born in Newark and grew up in Essex County (various town/cities) and relocated to Tampa as an adult. Any time I am traveling anywhere, I have to know where the Dunkin Donuts are en route. Not for the donuts, but for that fantastic coffee!!

Boston is home of Dunkin Donuts, we have one on every corner basically. My town alone has about 6 of them. I LOVE my dunkin donuts coffee, it's sooo good. I also buy the bags of coffee at Dunks and have a cup (or 4) every morning, yum!
When Adam Sandler was on Saturday Night Live, he did a skit about giving directions in a city near Boston and kept saying, take a left at the dunkin donuts, go down 2 blocks and take a right at dunks, etc..
