Colorado, the center of the universe.
My buddy Van at Furious Ball begged and pleaded for this post. In an effort to end the numerous photos and vids of him begging on his hands and knees, here goes:
Reasons Colorado is the center of the universe.
1. Starting with the obvious, Colorado is near dead center in the United States.
Everyone knows that the citizens of the United States believe the US is center of the universe. Thus it follows that IF Colorado is the center of the US, it is the center of the universe.
2. Stars love Colorado.
Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, Tom Cruise and whatever wife he’s on, Ricky Shroeder, Oprah Winfrey – should I continue?
Actors, producers, television people and the like own homes in Colorado. And this time of year? With the snow pack this year?
Hell, there are so many stars here than in the freakin’ Milky Way.
While astronomers SAY there is no center of the universe, clearly the display of stardom indicates real center of the Big Bang. Would you say?
3. Where else would someone confess on a piece of trim, then put the trim on a house?
I kid you not. (Confession to 19th century murder found in house)
“To whoever may happen to find the confession, I, John W. Spicer of the City of Fountain, State of Colorado, being about to shuffle off this mortal act to make this my full confession in the hope that when I am gone it may be found and at last clear up the darkest mystery that ever embraced one in human murder.”
4. More enemies of the state live here than anywhere else in the world.

5. While we’re talking about criminals….
These boys inspired hundreds of deaths in multiple countries. They are heroes to some. Of course, the FBI just calls by something more simple – “psychopath”.
6. Of course there’s this:
Blue? That means growth and wealth. Yellow? Orange? Yeah, not so much. Let me see…. Where is New Jersey on this map??
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would continue, but I think I’ve made my point. So what do you say, Van? How is New Jersey the center of the freakin’ universe?
