I AM FROM CALIFORNIA!!!! That means...We'll roll up 40 deep when something goes down. I say like, for sure, right on, dude, totally, peace out, chill, tight, bro, hell of, hella, faded, stoked, and fo sho, and I say them often. I know what real cheese & avocados taste like. All the porn you watch is made here, because we fuck better and that’s how it is. I don't get snow days off because there's only snow in Mammoth, Tahoe, Shasta, and Big Bear. I can wear sandals all year long. I go to the Beach - not "down to the shore". I know 65 mph really means 100. When someone cuts me off, they get the horn, the finger, and high speed chase because we don’t fuck around on the road. The drinking age is 21 but everyone starts at 14 (legally 18 if you live close enough to the border). My governor can kick your governor’s ass. I can go out at midnight. You judge people based on what area code they live in, and when asked where you're from, you give your area code. I might get looked at funny by locals when I'm on vacation in their state, but when they find out I'm from California I turn into a Greek GOD. We don't stop at stop signs... we do a "California Roll" -No cop no stop baby! I can get fresh and REAL Mexican food 24 hours a day. Our marijuana is better than yours. We're the Golden State. Not the Cheese State. Not the Garden State.....GOLDEN!!! We have In-N-Out (Arizona and Vegas are lucky we share that with them). The best athletes come from here because we can play YEAR ROUND. We have a certain California attitude that foreigners don't and won't understand. And that is OK!!!!!!

If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned .......
