Hey Flapjack,
You seem to be obsessed with how you appear to others and looking "cool" is obviously a high priority to you too. Pity!
Pretty funny 'cause in about 15-20 years, you'll see what cool really is... Impressionable people with low self esteem being fleeced of every spare cent to conform to a societal "norm" set by your low self esteem peer group.
Meanwhile the 40+ YO capatilists in charge of hyping the cool and pumping out product to con you and your low self esteem out of all your money. They sit in their counting house, counting all your money laughing their arses off at the people desperatley trying to be cool whilst making them multi millionaires. Now which boat should they choose, the 48 or the 50 foot gin palace? Hmmmmm. While you barely have the money left over for pizza and beer. But at least you're cool eh?
Being cool is over rated, just shut up and ride for your own amusement and choose lifestyle, freedom and fun by carving your own groove. Find what lights your wick and instead of looking around to see what everyone else thinks, just go out and do it anyways. Sticking the middle finger to the masses and being an individual.
Damn!, Maybe thats cool?
Good winds,
