Hi everyone,
Today’s topic is……… *drum roll*…… being COOL or COOL-NESS! (well kind of…)
Now, I don’t really know much about being “cool” or how to be “cool”, but I think I have a pretty good idea on what is cool and more importantly, just how much I want to be cool.
I think this really relates back to the primary school days where it was pretty easy to tell who was cool and who wasn’t cool. The cool kids were the ones that were good at sport and had lots of friends. The un-cool kids well… they were the ones with glasses and read books.
Hmmm I wonder where I used to fit in back then. LOL
But as you grow up and etc you soon realize that what makes you cool had changed, and is constantly changing. Some of the kids that were good at sport and cool in primary school weren’t that cool anymore. Now, they were called “try-hards” and were coined as un-cool.
So what does this mean? Does the kid with glasses who read books, finally become cool? Is it finally his time to shine?!
Nope.
Unfortunately, he still remains pretty much un-cool. Maybe even more un-cool (warm even).
Mmm being cool is complex.
So what I’m getting at here is, being cool or how to be cool or what makes you cool always changes… but do you know what doesn’t change?
How to be uncool?
Umm… well yes… But thats not what I really wanted to talk about…
What doesn’t change is how cool Skateboarding is.
Yep, thats right. No matter what, Skateboarding will remain cool forever.

coooooooooooooooooooooooool...
Ever since I was young, I had always thought skateboarding was the epitome of cool-ness. Waking up early to watch the skate shows on Saturday mornings… dreaming that one day I could be that cool…
And even today, I still envy skaters as I walk home from work in my very un-cool work clothes watching the skaters do tricks and probably pick up like a million girls and do cool stuff that I wouldn’t know of because I’m not cool and stuff… damn them and their coolness…
However! My time has come! Finally the hours spent playing Tony Hawks in my youth will help me become cool.
And that is with the invention of this!
And maybe… Just maybe, if I play this enough. I’ll secretly learn how to skate and therefore become cool! Huzzah!
lol
A kid can always dream right?
