TALKING WITH TJ

As we begin our journey into the descent of madness that is my mind and the crazy antics of my life, I would like to first introduce myself. My name is TJ, blah blah blah, that sums it up and all you need to know. Whew… got past the CRAP no one cares about! Now for the good stuff.

Mustang culture is one that is very unique and brings together people from all walks of life. One thing is for sure though, the STANG Mag crew isn’t your typical crew. We are a bunch of weirdos, oddballs, and outcasts. We party hard and live by our ride or die motto and have adventures like no other.

From partying in various spots all over the U.S., to touring some of America’s most haunted sites, to having my ass spanked by a beautiful Latina in Las Vegas in front of a restaurant packed full of guests (and owning it), it’s never a dull moment! All I can say is... strap in, rev the shit out of your motor, and let’s go!

Battleship New Jersey

Boom, Boom, Boom! You know what time of year it is? That’s right, it’s our annual New Jersey Battleship STANG Mag Tour. This year we did something extra special. We spent the night on the ship!

The night view on the battleship was amazing. Philadelphia just lights up at night and creates a beautiful skyline of glistening lights that bounces off the Delaware River. For the overnight crew, the first event was dinner. It was delicious and was not too much or too little. The best part was you literally got to sit in the chow hall and eat as if you were really in the Navy. After dinner we had the battleship tour. This was really cool. We had an actual serviceman from the New Jersey give us a tour. As he gave us the tour, he would tell us little secrets and tid bits of his experiences while serving on the ship. My favorite was the ammunition room where they store the rounds for the guns. Some of the rounds are almost as tall as I am and to move the rounds, they would put oil on the floor to help allow the rounds to slide more easily across the floor.

After the tour we were allowed to explore the ship. They also had a movie playing in the chow hall, Sink the Bismark! I spent my night walking around the old ship by myself, exploring the various areas. It’s interesting to imagine how people lived on these ships for months at a time.
