Cool, 4 Real



"The best lack conviction, yet the worst have all the passionate intensity" W.B Yeats

"He's so cool, prick!" Is the usual rhetoric of a day to day discussion of mine. This constant to and froing of what is cool, and entered and stayed into the lexis since the generation x and the beatnik movement, but what is the obsession? Also why all the different view of coolness, and why to we ( or maybe I) create personas to be socially, accepted or to be seen a cool, aloof. Maybe its Narcism, but whatever the case, it's been something resonant since childhood, and something that must be addressed.

Perception:

Nathan Barley

This man is they epitome of all that is not cool, for his incessant attempts to be so, and yet, if you scour Shoreditch, for all of five minutes, you will find eons of his modern day clones. Now what does this tell you, it informs me that coolness is all about perception , and completely depends on the relative audience as to whether something is deemed cool, or not.

Maybe.........


ENGERRLAAANNDDD (not only for the peasantry)


Falling prey to the bastions of the media, must be an English tradition. The frequent recalls of the "spirit of 66" and the return of football, sear though the heart of every Englishmen deluding them , once again that they can reach the pinnacle of footballing glory, and actually win something. I can give you three reasons, why this temporary cause of overt nationalism, is simply misplaced simply due to the fact, that we are not that good.

1. Its BEEN 55 YEARS!
2. We lost to NAZI's apparently..........
3. The Scottish are always right, when it comes to football.
