there's been talk about cool lately...

determining cool can be a tricky process. unlike being hip, which suggests that you know what’s happening, and unlike being down, which suggests you are in with the in crowd, being cool is a fiercely individual characteristic. going your own way at your pace is cool. trying to be cool is oxymoronic. asking people what’s cool is uncool, and telling people what’s cool...as i'm doing right now in this very sentence, is even less cool. but breaking the rules is cool so there’s always that out and having an out is cool.
