If I was one of the cool kids I would be wearing something that matched

I am not one of the cool kids.

I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s true. I’m not cool.

Most people do not consider ill-tempered people like myself cool. Most people do not understand my dark, dry sense of humor nor do they understand half the words that fall out of my mouth. But I don’t give a fuck; I’m not here to entertain people. I’m not a movie star. I’m not a rock star. Heck, I’m not even internet famous like Wil Wheaton or Heroine Girl or Nolff or Mango.

I also don’t care that I’m not cool. I’ve never been cool (except maybe for a brief stint in college … but I went to a Science and Engineering school, cool was subjective). I have no fashion sense and I don’t especially care to acquire any. I know what I like and I’m good with that. I’m good with myself. It took me a long(ish) time to be good with that. But, I’m 26 and I am good with who I am.

I don’t really belong to any cliques. Well… I suppose the Shitty Blogs Club is sort of a clique except that we let anybody in. (Unless you are a complete and total douche … like some people at BE, whom I suspect are something akin to a castrati… or cheerleaders.) I even slightly participate in the SBC. I do the silly blog games and occasionally meander around the forum. But once again, I wouldn’t consider the SBC a clique or even really a group. We’re not a group who would go to bat for each other because we’re shitty and we don’t care. And, I think most people just signed up to get on another blogroll.

I’m also in the Mango Radio group. I’m not sure if that’s really a clique though… we all seem to hover on the outskirts of the Radio not really becoming a circle… just a bunch of random people flopping about wildly in the ocean of internet. Mango Radio doesn’t have an “inner circle” because no one want to make up said circle. We’re outcasts and loners and we all have our own thing. I think that’s why I stick around. That, and I like doing my podcast. For all that I complain about it, I enjoy it. And I don’t give a fuck what other people think about my show. None of the dj’s really care. We do our own thing. If I could say there was a group of people I like on the internet, it would be those guys. I like them because they are good with who they are and they do their own thing. And I don’t care if they like me and they don’t care if I like them.

This doesn’t mean that I don’t try new things. I like new things. New music, new food, new gadgets (I love gadgets), new movies … I like new things. I like trying them out and seeing what the fuss is about. New things help me to keep in touch with the real world out there. It also takes my mind off numbers and the insanity that generally burbles around in my head.

Oh… and I don’t care what anybody thinks … Batman Boots rock my world. I would wear them with anything or nothing at all and I would be cool. I can sense it. Here are more pictures of the awesomeness of those Boots.

I think you're great, I really do. We've disagreed in the past but I've come to respect your mind and your individuality and the person you are.

There are a few in the SBC I would absolutely go to bat for and you are definitely one of them.

The Batman boots are not my style but they're very very cool and I could see you walkin' around in them.

Keep being you. That's more than good enough and the rest of the idiot world can piss off.

As for internet fame, I've come to the conclusion that it's overrated and usually in the mind of the 'famous' and no place else.

HO-LE-SHIT. I worship those boots! If I could pull those off, I would totally wear them.

I don't have the best style sense, but like you, I've come to the conclusion that I should stop caring about what other people think and just enjoy being me.

I fell in love with these pair of boots and I still might buy them, the only problem is I would have to wear them in public alone. My husband says they are an embarrassment.

Pippy - thanks. Maybe I'm so uncool I'm cool. Yeah... likes that are so bad they're awesome. I'm like the Troma of cool man.

WK - I'd go to bat for you too WK.

BB - I could totally crochet a pair of those. In fact, I have a pattern for a shoe similar to the bottom part and adding the leg for the boot would be easy... *ponders the project*

That would be awesome! If you do attempt to make those boots, I'd love to see what you come up with. I totally
