New Jersey Turnpike

[rye-in-a-coat]

But if you read all the letters from left to right on the New Jersey Turnpike sign, it reads NTPJ which sounds an awful lot like a MBTI label which gives me the idea of custom funny button pins or enamel pins that are in the design of the New Jersey Turnpike logo but with your MBTI result on but I honestly don't believe much on it so I wouldn't do it myself but here's the idea in case you feel inspired.

Last time I did that test I was apparently a INFP but that was May 4th 2021, Imma retake it tonight.

Alan Catlin  // Pushing Forty

It wasn’t supposed to be this way: pushing forty against a bar with no career to speak of. It was supposed to be easier, a job in the Arts, respect among peers, a stipend or two maybe even a Grant. But, of course, it didn’t work out that way. Dead end streets are hard to escape from and I’ve been on one for years--just count the empties. Not that they mean anything, I know guys with great jobs who drink almost that much at lunch and go back to work. Everyone tells me the 60′s was a great time to grow up in but what if you still believe working for material success is a drag, that being plugged in to The System is just another cause you have to fight and you want to but you still believe in paying bills. The only thing that didn’t suck about the 60′s was the music and a great year for baseball in 69. Drugs claimed all kinds of people, man, including my supplier dead from exiting an on-ramp at sixty miles an hour on the Jersey Turnpike. I learned about his funeral about a year too late not being a full pledged Fraternity brother. Last week, one of his brothers jumped into a small man-made lake at Albany State and got fried in a freak accident. Brought back memories of college and life in the fast lane. Did you see The Big Chill? It opens with Kline giving his kid a bath singing Jeremiah was a Bullfrog just before he learns his best friend from college had committed suicide. Reminded me, we were coming down out of a fog North of Utica barrelling out of control toward this construction everyone asleep including the driver when Three Dog Night arrived on the radio to save the day. Twenty years later we’re still going downhill all the way only in opposite directions. It’s almost like a game to see who hits the embankment first.

My favorite Springsteen record and #2 song.

SONG OF THE DAY - May 1, 2023

[thejakeformerlyknownasprince]

If they lived to drinking age, each Animorph's alcoholic beverage of choice?

Jake: virgin Irish coffee. Yes, he knows that that's just coffee with whipped cream on top. He's tired, okay? He came out to have a good time and he's honestly feeling so attacked right now.

Rachel: cosmopolitan. For when you're feeling girly, but also like you want to get crunked up.

Marco: the house special, whatever that might be. He enjoys sidling up to the bartender and going "surprise me."

Tobias: beer. Much like Marco, he ends up with a different drink depending on the bar, but in his case it's a matter of pointing to a tap at random.

Ax: a New Jersey Turnpike. Also known as the drink you make by taking the mat that sits on the bar and draining its contents into a glass. The name reflects that it tastes kind of like Long Island Iced Tea, if you hold your nose and if it's your fifth drink of the night.

Cassie: bourbon, neat. It was developed by American women, and it's been the subject of several workers' uprisings over the centuries.

"KATHY IM LOST" I SAID, THOUGH I KNEW SHE WAS SLEEPING

IM EMPTY AND ACHING AND I DONT KNOW WHYYYYY

welcome home buddy

[transmutationisms]

i don't think what distinguishes new jersey politics is the fact that it runs on patronage networks i'd argue that's just politics. however the specific flavour of new jersey networks is distinct in its utter reliance on the state's relationship with the banking industry writ large (credit card regulations or lack thereof are a huge part of this but not the whole thing). i'm not even the right peraon to be talking about this bc i simply do not have the citations on hand but more people should understand nj as like essentially running off being a corporate tax haven that will do anything to keep company hqs there. also dc gets a bad rep for being a revolving door which is true but the new jersey-nyc finance relationships are like a whole other ballgame

apparently i reference the lyrics of america enough that the first word my phone suggests after i type “new jersey” is “turnpike”

[misterradio]

ive had america by simon and garfunkel stuck in my head all dayyyy. u remember how i said road to nowhere by talking heads feels like an adventure. road to nowhere is an adventure and excited about it, but america is an adventure but incredibly pensive about it
