Un Blog?

A blog, eh? That apparently seems to be the cool thing to do. At least among cool people. Do I become cool if I have a blog? I certainly hope so. Not that I'm not cool already, it's just that I'm sure if I found such a sure fire way to become cool, I could probably make a profit off of it. Then again, why is it cool to be cool? Obviously, cool is a derivative of some ancient form of human dominance, a trait whose usefulness became extinct along with the mastadons. Mayhaps I'm being too cyncial. Maybe being cool is something that is useful simply because it makes you feel better about yourself. Then again, why does being cool make you feel better about yourself? If being cool is not directly related to your survival as an individual, then why should you want to be cool? I meant, why would your genes or whatever tell you that it is something that is important, something you need to do. I've narrowed it down to two possibilities.

One, evolution has some serious lag. I mean, I know that it the scope of the creation of the universe, that human existence is one second on the clock of the world. But then again, it did take us awhile to invent the clock, so maybe we just don't understand it correctly yet. I'm going to skip right over the usual sterotypical 'Why Are We Here?' debate and head right to:

Two, maybe being cool is important on a level that we don't understand yet. Perhaps there is another plane of existence that we can be elevated to by smelling nice (Don't worry, I smell nice), or wearing real expensive name brand clothes (Don't worry I, uh.....).

So, in conclusion, if being cool isn't important, why do people continue to try to be cool? And if it is important, but because of something we don't yet understand, if you stopped being cool, it's not as if we would be missing anything.

So this is a blog, eh?
