Cool

I place a low premium on being cool.

I can honestly say I haven’t invested much time, money, or effort attempting to be cool in my entire 53 years of living. Maybe the freckles or the unsophisticated turned-up nose or the fact that I’m vertically-challenged squashed any latent hopes of coolness early on, I don’t know.

I will say this: in spite of my personal lack of coolness, I very much appreciate and admire coolness in other people. Especially—in fact, only—if it seems to have occurred spontaneously, without the cool person trying at all. If it’s an affected coolness, it’s just plain stuck up. And that’s NOT cool.

This is why I love Bono. The man exemplifies cool for me. I ran across this Bono quote today, and it made me love him even more.

“Coolness might help in your negotiation with people through the world, maybe, but it is impossible to meet God with sunglasses on.”

  3. Katy, you are the coolest without every trying to be cool!

  5. In France they say,

    C'est overtop cool.

    Meaning:

    That's overtop cool.

    So you're overtop cool. Over. the. top. cool. is. you.

  6. though my experience with you has been by reading this ubercool blog, one must surmise that you can't have a cool blog such as this one with out an equally cool person behind the computer keyboard... ergo... you must be cool!

  8. Hi Katy, It's nice to know that another 50+ woman loves Bono. You probably like him because he too is short. Anyway, now that my daughter's met you, she thinks your cool, but she thinks the same thing about me, so ...

  9. Me and my dog meet 4 other dog walkers, with 7 dogs every morning. There is no one else around at that time in the morning so all 8 dogs run round the park together. In the evening my dog meets a few other dogs but I tend to keep him on the lead, there are too many distractions around to let him off the lead at that time.
