You know you’re from COLORADO if:
-You'll eat ice cream in the winter.
-It snows 5 inches and you don't expect school to be cancelled.
-You'll wear flip flops every day of the year, regardless of temperature.
-You have no accent at all, but can hear other people’s. And then you make fun of them.
-'Humid' is over 25%.
-Your sense of direction is: Toward the mountains and Away from the mountains.
-You say 'the interstate' and everybody knows which one.
-You think that May is a totally normal month for a blizzard.
-You grew up planning your Halloween costumes around your coat.
-You know what the Continental Divide is.
-You don't think Coors beer is that big a deal.
-You went to Casa Bonita as a kid.
-You've gone off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended for such activities.
-You always know the elevation of where you are.
-You wake up to a beautiful, 80 degree day and you wonder if it's going to snow tomorrow. -You don't care that some company renamed it, the Broncos still play at Mile High.
-Every movie theater has military and student discounts.
-Everybody wears jeans to church.
–You actually know that South Park is a real place not just a show on TV.
-You know what a 'trust fund hippy' is, and you know its natural habitat is Boulder.
-You know you're talking to a fellow Coloradoan when they call it Elitches, not Six Flags.
-A bear on your front porch doesn't bother you.
-Your two favorite teams are the Broncos and whoever is beating the crap out of the Raiders.
-You've been to the original Chipotle near the DU campus on Evans.
-When people out East tell you they have mountains in their state too, you just laugh.
-You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels 'sticky' and you notice the sky is no longer blue.

A state with extreme scerenity, significant sunshine (over 300 days of sunshine a year in Denver) and the best opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The Rocky Mountains make it the state with the highest average elevation. Denver, its capital and largest city (population 570,000), is called the “Mile High City” because it’s capitol is exactly one mile in elevation. Denver is consistently ranked among the top of America’s “fittest” , “thinnest” , and “most educated” cities. About half of the state’s 5 million residents live in the Greater Denver Metro area. Other important population centers include Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Fort Collins—all of which are located on the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains. Colorado has extreme variations in climate. People in Denver can get a tan and snow ski in the same day. The enormous flat plains of eastern Colorado get huge thunderstorms in the spring and summer that make for a great lightening show and tornadoes. Colorado is where the song, America the Beautiful was written. “For purple mountains majesty above the fruited plain” describes Colorado to a tee. Beef cattle and wheat are its two largest agricultural products.
I wouldn't mind living in Colorado. It's progressive, has a reasonable cost of living and generally friendly people.

The one state in the United States where weed is legal. If you want to get some weed and camp out then Colorado is the place to be.
Guy 1: Yo man, do you know a state that contains some good weed shops.
Guy 2: Yeah man, we should go to Colorado to get some weed.
Guy 1: Oh yeah! Pack your things!

Known as the 'Bi-polar' state 'cause one minute it's the next it's cold. A lot of tourist attractions and things to do all over the place. Generally nice people and people who actually WORK for what they have. Lots of skiing and snowboarding in the mountains. The capital is Denver with Elitches, as people in colorado call it, and Casa Bonita, an awesome place to go for atmosphere (although the food isn't very good). Colorado Springs, another large city, is less crowded and business-y than denver. More open space with parks, hiking, pikes peak, and Garden of the Gods. Lots of newer, more relaxed churches where the dress code is whatever you wear the rest of the week. Although Colorado doesn't have a beach, it makes up for that!
Amy: I just moved to Colorado.

Macy: That must suck!
Amy: Actually it doesn't! Everyone says bad things about it but it's actually really awesome!

Colorado is one of the few states that is both a great place to visit and live.

A state where if you don’t like to go jerk off in the woods or don’t want to devote your life to our shitty sports teams you are not welcome.
“Hey Chad u wanna go to the mountains and bust one out?”
“Hell yeah man let me go put on my Peyton Manning jersey on first”
