All Of The Things You Think On The Drive To LBI

There is not much to do on the car ride down to the Jersey Shore other than think about the fact that you are going down to the Jersey Shore.

Here's a list of all the things you think during your time on the Garden State Parkway. These are in no certain order because who knows what is going to pop into your mind when all that you have to stimulate your brain cells is the music, the endless number of trees that line the highway and that person who is not from New Jersey driving so insanely slow in front of you.

1. "I can't wait to wear that dress I bought the other day, but I have to make sure that I wear that one shirt that I have been meaning to wear, but not with those jean shorts because that other shirt looks better ... maybe I will just buy a shirt in Bay Village, yeah that's a good idea."

2. "Wow, I am so hungry right now. I can't wait for that chicken cheesesteak from Subs 'n Such or wait maybe I want some wings from Chegg. Ehh, why not get both? Yeah, that's a good idea."

3. "I am so pale right now it is ridiculous. OK, so when I get to the beach, I'm going to wait a little while to put on sunscreen, so I can get a base tan, but not too long, so I don't get burnt. Yeah, that's a good idea."

4. "The person in front of me is moving so slowly right now. I am not sure if this person even knows how to drive. Ugh, but there are so many cars on the parkway that if I try to pass them, it will be hard to get back into the lane for my exit. It's not the end of the world if I stay behind this person. OK, I am going to stay, because I really do not want to miss the exit. Yeah, that's a good idea."

5. "I wonder if I am going to see anyone that I know from home. Why am I even asking this question? Of course I am going to see people from home! One-third of the people from home have a house down here. I can see these people at home, so if I see them, I will do the always-useful smile and wave. Yeah, that's a good idea."

6. "Finally! The exit! Now I can finally go to the bathroom, freedom for all! Dang, I totally forgot there are always a lot of cars on the causeway, sorry bladder you will have to wait. Did I just talk to my bladder? I really need to get out of this car. Yeah that's a good idea."

7. "Yes, it's our house! It is time to finally relax and eat and then eat and relax. I am just going to unpack everything from my car at super-speed and then throw on my bathing suit. I just love to come down here, it is always a good idea."

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
