Are you COOL? or a NERD?

What is a nerd? What defines a nerd. Maybe you think I am a nerd, or I think you are one, yet other people think I am cool or funny or smart. When I was a kid, I was definitely one of the "cool" kids. Always invited to parties,picked first in sports, had a phone that did not stop ringing, and more bff's than I could ROFL with.... But in those days you had to work for your cool. You weren't simply grandfathered into cool because you have a wealthy spouse, wealthy parents, a popular family member, or a nice car. Truthfully, these things do not automatically make you cool today either...but I will get back to that.....

     When I was a kid, I guess...1000 years ago...I was "COOL". Besides being cool for the afforementioned reasons,I was also good to look at ( its what I was told), a smart ass in school, quick with a joke, tough , I had a popular older brother, and I oozed self confidence(no it was not a medical condition). Why? because I LIKED myself, and I was sure of myself, probably a lot more so than I am now, and there is nothing cooler than not giving a shit.

     I am not nearly as confident as I was when I was a kid growing up, and the main reason is because I know too much. Like Adam and Eve before they realized they were naked, I was "NAKED", and knew it looked good, so I didnt care!

     I laugh at the irony of life when I see so many of the kids that I grew up with that were "NERDS" who now think they are so cool just because they drive a nice car, or have a nice house, or married someone with money. Am I talking about any one in specific??? Hell YES!, and I talking about people in general???HeLL YeS again! It seems that as soon as someone marries someone with money or gets a hot wife because he/she has money they become "cool" or as Paris Hilton would say (I cannot believe I am quoting that ignaramous) "HOT".

     Do I want to be cool to everyone? sure...why not? will I ever be cool to everyone again? I doubt it. I dont care enough, and I dont care LITTLE enough. In other words, I want people to like me, and I will try to make them like me, by being me. If it pleases you, hop on board, and if it doesn't...wait for the next train BITCH!, and hope it doesn't hit you!

     I went to a club on Saturday night for a friends birthday, it was my birthday also, but no one seemed to mention it or care, because I was only friends with a couple of the people that were there, and not really a major part of that "crowd". The people that mattered to me said hi, smiled at me, made chit chat, some new faces introduced themselves,and then moved on. To me, those people were cool, didnt need to prtend anything and just were being themselves. Then there were others that have seen me a dozen times, had major conversations with me on more than one occasion, and yet acted as if they dont know me from a hole in the wall! WHY? because....I am sexy? maybe. Well...SORRY, that's how I am, live with it or don't. But seriously; quite seriously I don't know why they didn't say hi, and it bothered me at first, but then I realized, all the people that matter to me do say hi...and I wonder, if they know, I think they are still the nerds they were as kids,and even worse...if they know, I think, THEY KNOW they are STILL nerds!! They may think they hide it very well, But I can see through it all, and even though they have made me feel bad or even (gasp)Nerdy, on more than one occassion.

If you truly are cool, you dont have to act cool by being drunk all the time, and stoned half the time (while simultaneously being drunk), you just need to be YOU, and the liquor, and money may change you up a bit at times, and enhance or mar your personality, but they dont make you cool. So...for those snobs out there here's a memo...I wouldn't necessarily snub you next time I see you, if you say hello, I would probably say hi back, but would I say hi first? nope, and that may not be cool...but it's who I am, and if you dont like it, it's your loss, because I have been told, I am a pretty good friend!
