I remember years ago, back in High School (and even College), image was
king and people cared about it. The need to be cool and hip was
at the forefront of a lot of people’s minds. Though some will deny they
ever felt that way, I’m sure it’s crossed their minds more than once.
Peer pressure will do that to a person afterall. The trick of being
cool and hip besides looking good, was to be into
the fads. The fads could be a band, a song, types of clothes, a
dance, a movie, a tv show, a slang term, etc… If you didn’t know the
latest dance, you’re lame. If you didn’t know the latest slang
term, you are living in the past. If you haven’t seen the popular
movie, you are left out.Many many things were considered really important to be relevant to a
hip and cool kid. But what if you are 25 years old? Should you
still be concerned about what’s hip or cool? Should you care what’s
popular out there? Most of the time, these fads just fade away and
proves itself to be a waste of time. When you are not a kid
anymore, should you really bother spending time on a fad that won’t
mean anything to you weeks from now?Are you that person?

You know I have to admit in high school I did want to be cool. But I was never cool and I don’t think I’ll ever be cool. In college I totally gave up on that because I was hopeless. Now? I could careless about what’s cool or not. I do what I think is cool by my terms. I don’t even dress good. Let them judge me. So take that you conformists. Aside note in the army it’s just like high school. It makes me laugh inside.
