Yeah, http://www.amazon.com/GREENWON-Brea...=sr_1_12?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1428716298&sr=1-12
A friend of mine had this one, so I figured what the hell. For $6, it's good to have an idea where you are.

My tags were stolen and the girlfriend is hanging with her friends. I'm stuck at home playing xbox. =[
What? Damn I hate that part of the country. Flip the bird to the NJ for me.
I HATE NJ. I was forced to say I liked it.. still kinda am since it's the girl's home state.. but I can't stand anything about it. It's not even worth the $5 to cross that bridge.
I really tried to be positive about it when we moved there. I really, really tried. I didn't want negativity to turn our 4 years into what would seem like a prison sentence, but it did. I've never been so miserable in my life. I gave it and the people every opportunity. I've never been so happy to pay a toll in my life as I was when we crossed the bridge headed west. We spent almost 4 years of our lives there and I never even looked in the rear view mirror as we left. What a cesspool.
Which part of Jersey were you at? South Jersey and North Jersey are almost like 2 different states. Both parts are horrible though. I did enjoy New England's landscape.. I felt the way you felt when I lived in CT and spent a lot of time in Jersey. I remember the first time I ever driven into the NE by myself... I thought I was driving into hell. TBH I wasn't far from wrong. Now, I'm stuck up here by myself practically. I've been tempted to move back home, but I feel like there is nothing there for me as well. So I'm just sitting here in limbo, waiting for life to tell me what I should do.
Princeton, right in the middle. I had friends in the pines, and I liked it ok down there but it still felt pretty "nanny". It was just in the air.
This was from 11 years ago. I did get to spend a lot of time fishing and kayaking on lake Carnegie with my daughter..there's one positive. That little rug rat is almost 15 now.
Also, I'm anti-inspirational bullshit and that isn't what this is. It may help you figure out what you want to do though.
Damn, Princeton is probably the better of the state too. I drove through it regularly when I had to drive from Philly to North Jersey. It allowed me to avoid the tolls and the turnpike.Princeton, right in the middle. I had friends in the pines, and I liked it ok down there but it still felt pretty "nanny". It was just in the air.

It's a truly beautiful town. We lived in student housing (no weapons of any kind allowed) because rent prices were astronomical, and I was working 30 hours a week managing a gun shop and my wife was full time in grad school. I was kind of Mr. Mom for those 4 years. It was great too. It was an opportunity a lot of fathers don't get.
I'm always envious of fathers. My chance was taken away from me a year ago. I still feel this emptiness where I should have a kid but I don't. I'm glad you got that bonding moment with your daughter.

I usually think that way, but it get's hard to do after it seems like 4 years of nothing but having what I want dangled in front of me, then have it taken away. Also I see piece of shit people all over facebook that has everything I want. I'm getting closer and closer to 30 and not even close to having a family.Life works out, or it doesn't. Either way it does. There's some dimestore wisdom.
