Sandy.

I'm just a kid from Ocean County. Toms River, Seaside, Point Pleasant. I spent countless hours of my youth there. My family still lives in Ocean County.

I spent my college years and early 20's in Cape May County.

My heart is heavy today, though I'm incredibly thankful that my family is ok, I have many friends who have lost so much.

Jersey isn't just a state, it's a state of mind. It's an attitude. It's a little conceited and a whole lotta pride. Jersey might look different, but it'll be alright. We'll all be alright.
