Coolness

Things that are no longer cool, according to me:

Bluetooths:  Is the plural 'Blueteeth?'  Walking around with a mini-phone in your ear seemingly talking to yourself is not cool.  In fact, it is lame and makes you look like a raving lunatic.  Second to that is hands-free talking on your cell, I just don't want to know about the intimate details of your recent visit to the kidney specialist.

Automatic car-starters:  Starting your car when you are not in your car is lame unless it is 20 below or worse.  It was cool in 1991, when I first witnessed that being done, but now it is weak sauce.  Why do this?  Is burning off extra fuel before you even enter your vehicle some sociological rite of passage?

Bitching about the weather (especially on Facebook):  Unless you live in San Diego, where it's 25 Celsius out every single day of the year, you may not bitch about the weather.  It is what it is, you can't change it, and the weather sucks wherever you are.

Fahrenheit: Get with the times, for the love of Jesus.  I think maybe only the States and Belize use this antiquated form of measurement.  It's like weighing things in quintals or in relation to how much your neighbour's sheep weighs.

Fat people with little beards or goatees: Give it up, the only reason you grew it is to establish a jawline.  Goatees aren't overly cool these days but beards have made a major comeback, which sucks for me because I'd have one but my job doesn't allow it.  But having one to cover your jowls or to create the appearance of having a jaw equals lameness of epic proportions.

Picky eaters: I constantly hear people talking about food they don't  like.  Who cares?  Why are people so forthcoming about things they don't enjoy eating?  A life that does not involve vegetables is a sad life to me.  I don't like everything, but I like a lot of things and it blows me away when I meet a fully-formed adult and they say something like, "Oh I don't like '_____'."  That's too bad, but why are you telling me this?  I don't like having to work for a living but I still frickin' do it!

I could go on, but the coffee is wearing off...

G-Stay Cool...
