Everybody wants to be the cool kid.
Back in high school they used to draw Kiss logos on their notebook. Now they twitter like fiends, often writing 100 wry phrases a day - at least they're hoping somebody sees them as wry.
My problem with the stink of blogging is that there's a lot less communicating than there is trying to be the cool kid. The amount of worthless phrases and blogs is soon going to catch up to the amount of mediocre mp3s. If you add both together with the amount of obligatory Thanks for adding me as a friend messages, there isn't room for one rational interchange in the universe. There's no room for humor, poignance, deep thought. Just like high school, there just aren't many cool kids in class.

No, you are.
You write blogs about being cool.
It doesn't matter.
Anyone over twelve already knows this.

Yes, young herb, I'm your grandpop. I'm a tall tree. lol ...
I will allow that online communication, as much as I've done it myself, often fades to vapid.
... and although I've a Facebook account to contact my kids, there are people I have immediately tuned out of being able to comment in my sphere.
Examples:
"I'm going to church, hope I don't fall asleep."
"Man, I'm going to take such a large shit later."
"I think I'm going to puke."
... and the endless drone of shit no one needs to know of another. It's your life. We're not married.
In that sense, PB, your post was spot on. Being cool? Shit, no one is cool when you get to know them. They're only themselves.
Like you, too.

I disagree. I see you as extremely uncool while I on the other hand am very, very, almost startlingly cool

Nah, I'm cool. However uncool that may be.
You are too. Frozen bananas are the best. I had them in Miami last month ... first time I ever experienced. Cool.
Happy 4th.

I think there should be a maximum age requirement of 30 for being considered the "coolest kid at school"
I also think that the type of school one is aspiring to be a "cool kid" in should also factor into the equation.
For instance, being the "cool kid" in some type of performaning arts kind of thing, should garner a cool kid a little more respect then being the "cool kid" at an accounting school, or Hamburger College.
I sometimes feel that "clown college" is perhaps the coolest school to be cool, because it is in my opinion, the most honestly named.
I also sometimes wonder if perhaps the education of Vampires is somehow lacking due to the limitations of the quality of the curriculem offered by most night schools. Being a supernatural entity that can turn into a bat might be considered cool, ...but then there's all that bat shit everywhere, ... and batshit is probably kind of uncool socially, even in high school imo.
I used to think, KISS was cool, ...but then I read how all that makeup had eaten holes through their faces, and stuff. The KISS solo albums were also somewhat troubling, although I felt Gene Simmons at least has attempted to make amends over the years, and may perhaps on some level still be considered a "cool kid", but if he's still drawing the KISS emblem on his notebooks, then probably not.

The cool kid in clown college is the one that doesn't have to use any props, who wears a purple nose, who wears sneakers instead of giant shoes.
