About Cool

There are two kinds of cool. Real and imagined. Some people just are cool. I don't know what really makes them that way, they just are. Some people want to be cool so bad they'll do anything to get that quality, the one I don't know what is, that will make them cool. You see this all the time in teenagers, and it makes a certain bit of sense that they'd be going through some identity issues. What gets me is that you see it in so many adults. I guess nobody knows what that cool quality is, really. Evidently, a lot of people were counting on it being the iphone. They waited in line for days, for a phone. I guess to be cool you have to have all the right stuff. Unless, of course, you're one of the real cool people who just are cool. Until we find a way of injecting the imaginary cool people with the real cool quality I suppose there'll be all those people trying to fake it with gadgets. Now a question for all the fakers, one of which I'm sure I am. If you are so insecure with yourself that you have to buy all the tools of cool in the hope that you will then somehow be cool because you've got the stuff, can you ever really be cool at all? Maybe the first step to actually being cool is to accept yourself and stop worrying about whether anybody thinks you're cool.
