Long Island

Are people still watching the show, The Jersey Shore? Is it currently on?

I had seen a couple of episodes in passing and I must admit that it was like a trainwreck. I so wanted to look away, but I couldn't. Are these people for real? The answer to that is: a resounding yes.

They are, unfortunately, very real. And they are plaguing my world. I am from Long Island (which is often compared with the Jersey Shore) and I am nothing like these people. They are giving the good Long Islander/New Jerseyers a bad name.

People who are new here often think much less of Long Island because of the bad rap that it gets, but it's not that different from anywhere else. You just need to know where to look to find the right people.

That being said, I am going to move off the island in a bit, just to be able to experience life outside of this overcrowded little place.
