Party's Here

Let's face it, this blog has been running kind of slowly. I'm just not compelled lately to comment on anything, which, for me, is rare. So, when my dear friend Lindsey came to me with a suggestion that I should post about Jersey Shore, I thought, "perfecto!".

If you're reading this and you actually don't know me, let me give you a little bit of the deets on why this is long overdue. I love watching Jersey Shore. I watch it with my friends, I watch it repeatedly alone, I even watch it with my parents. I went to the Jersey Shore (not of the same variety as this Jersey Shore) almost every summer for my whole life until I was about 22. I am Italian. I am familiar with these stereotypes and fuck, I just think these people are so damn funny. I would NEVER want to be in one of those clubs they frequent on the show (in fact, I've told several friends that if there was a hell, mine would be eternity in one of those clubs, surrounded by clowns and pigeons, with Natalie Merchant** playing at a constant as people just screamed words I hate, specifically p**ties), I could never tan THAT much, and overall could not embrace that lifestyle... however, watching it is just too much. That being said, I share a certain bond with this show, which is pathetic in itself, and as dense as some of them might be, there is still a certain something that I feel for them as people. But mostly it's just hilarious. I can't say anything here that someone else hasn't said before... and probably better than I could.

So, getting back to the point, Lindsey suggested I update about Jersey Shore... so I've decided that weekly, I will update this with my favorite line of the week. You've undoubtedly heard me, or heard about me, quoting certain lines with accuracy a billion times ("Ronnie, you were dancin' with another girl!" "So I took alittlebitta snicker's pickle juice...", "you stawlked my whole life on the bowardwalk", "party's heeeere", et al), but this season seems full of potential new and overused quotables. So, I present to you, my Jersey Shore Episode 1 quote of the week from Ms. Snooki/Snickers/Schnookers herself:

"I am tan, and I like bein' tan, BITCH!"

I love this. Absolutely. They insult each other by saying, you're a pale white rat and she is unable to be swayed by the fact that the comeback insult was a comment on how she's too tan (which she is). You know what though? As ridiculous as it all is, as far as we saw, it shut Angelina up (which I am all for). I like Snooki. She's got a positive attitude and she has a good sense of respect... and she may rip Angelina's face off, yet another huge novelty of this show: people getting angry at each other and kicking ass for a, often times, very small reason. These things are amusing when you rarely see them and definitely don't take part in them.


Now, this all being said, I am even more excited for Thursday's episode and I can't wait to see everyone kicking the crap out of each other, partying, and saying more unintelligent shit (The Situation, ahem, looking at you dude). Out with the old quotes, in the with new.

Goodnight, farewell, jah bless Pauly D, and stay tuned.

**Carnival? Come on... seriously? I can't take that kind of shit. There's nothing wrong with that kind of hippy dippy boho women's movement type stuff, but unless my prophecy of becoming Sally Jesse Raphael meets a high school art teacher meets a crazy cat lady in that condo at the beach is fulfilled, I probably won't be abandoning my razor any time soon in favor of women's lib.
