What is the meaning of cool?

September 22, 2008 Random Thoughts | 1 Comment

Last week I learned from another person that a friend of mine wants to buy a motorcycle. Silly practical me, I asked if it was because he wanted to save on fuel costs… which resulted in some laughter. No, he just wants to be cool. What does “cool” mean, anyway, and why do people want to be it so badly?

I am naturally repelled by “cool” things. I liked SUV’s until they became cool. I liked Apple computer until they became cool. When I was 4 or 5 years old I used to tell people my favorite color was yellow… I actually hated yellow, but I chose it because everybody else hated it too. What does that say about me?
