Bike the entire length of Island Beach State Park.

7 miles each way. 14 miles round trip. Seems a bit much, but he you can stop and check out the ocean beach or the bayside. Plus the road is very flat, so there isn’t much uphill riding. Besides, there is a bar now at one end, and a beautiful Barnegat Lighthouse view at the other. Not too shabby!

Parking in the lot will leave you with this cool view of the Barnegat Lighthouse.

Hit up Monmouth Park Racetrack.

The ponies run in Oceanport from May through September and it’s a great way to locally celebrate your birthday. Still very affordable when you consider parking, entry fee, and programs are all under 10 dollars. Plus you might come out rich! Or at least even, if you halfway know what you’re doing.

Check out the Bluegrass Jams at Albert Music Hall in Waretown.

They are cookin’ up the Bluegrass tunes every Saturday night at Albert Hall. From the main room to the shed, it’s a blast to hear and see. Heck, if you have the chops you can even join in!

The music happens on Saturday Nights from 5:30 til about 9.

Believe it or not, Jimmy’s first job was overnights at a Christian Radio Station. He claims he got into radio because like Rocky Balboa once said, “cause I can’t sing or dance.” Jimmy loves to write about all local happenings, especially around his town of Toms River. Favorite Pastime (other than masturbation, of course): Cheering for the Yankees, and crying for the J-E-T-S!!! Favorite Food: Hot Sauce…I collect ’em! Favorite Drink: PRUNO…look it up, if you dare! Favorite Movies: The Exorcist, Planet of The Apes (the original), To Kill a Mockingbird, Annie Hall, and of course GF 1 & GF 2…I heard that’s how the real fans refer to them. Favorite Movie Line: easy…Murry-Caddyshack-“big hitter, the Lama”…f#$*in’ riot! Best Rat Rock Bands: STP, VH, ZEP, PEARL JAM, FOOS, PEPPERS,AC/DC Favorite New Bands: Glorious Sons, Rival Sons, Dirty Honey Most Embarrassing Moment: the moment my mother reads this shit! Best Day: I know a lot of folks say this, but it’s true: the day my little girl Jynell and my boy Big D were born! Next to that, it would have to be the day I was baked on earth day in Central Park and met Keefer Sutherland…baked too, I believe.

  • 6.) Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring

    Let’s get right to the fun as Bilbo Baggins is celebrating his 111th birthday in the Shire.  Of course, we now know that Bilbo made it to such an old age and looked so good because he had the Ring Of Power in his possession…which gave him unnatural long life.

  • 5.) The Jerk

    Insane movie with Steve Martin as a simpleton who is easily impressed.

  • 4.) Falling Down

    Michael Douglas is having a really bad day.  All he wanted to do was go to his daughter’s birthday party.  Damn, Robert Duvall.

  • 3,) Toy Story

    The Toy Story universe all started with one simple story: Andy was celebrating his birthday and received a new toy.  And from there…we got a classic movie franchise with unforgettable characters.

  • 2.) Harry Potter

    Hagrid visit Harry for his 11th birthday…changing Mr. Potter’s life forever.

  • 1.) The Godfather Part II

    This legendary film ends with a flashback to better times…as the Corleones and company get ready to surprise Vito Corleone for his 50th birthday.  Marlon Brando isn’t even in the scene yet his presence is still felt.  Instead, you get a great scene between Michael, Sonny, Fredo, and Tom when Michael informs them that he has enlisted in the army.  Amazing scene.

  • Happy Birthday To You!

    Have a very special birthday from Davey Mac and 95.9 The Rat!
