the weirdness of it all

deery-lou.
while wasting time walking up and down the newark airport back in august i stumbled upon a small treasure of sorts. i was in a bookstore looking through magazines and i notice one called weird nj. of course being born in jersey i had to take a look at it. it contained info on strange, weird places in nj. some of these places were houses where murders took place, haunted woods, strange looking trees, and weird folks. hence their name. it was the coolest thing i've seen in awhile. who knew jersey could be so cool. certainly not i. then again i left jersey in '78, i was only eight. then a couple of days ago i was thinking about this mag and i decided to check the web. sure enough they even have a site www.weirdnj.com. and it doesn't stop there. there's also a site for weird us [www.weirdus.com] by the same guys. during my investigation i discovered that they even have a show airing on the history channel. anyone who is interested in strange, weird things should definitely take a look. there's a lot cool stuff on these sites. it was on the weirdus site that i found out about the midget village [see misty's blog]. its amazing how much weirdness is out there. which makes me wonder why am i so drawn to it. i remember some strange and weird stories from my youth like deadman's cliff that was in the woods by my house or that the walt whitman house was haunted [its now a museum]. or even the academy that was in flordia which supposedly some people died at. i actually still have the yearbook from that place. the people looked scary. i love hearing tales that these. how cool would that be to be able to spend your time researching strange tales from towns. i want their job. anyway i just wanted to mention this stuff cuz i found it all quite interesting. if you have any strange or weird stories you want to share with me please do. i love that kind of shit.

be well...
