Real Hipsters

Our society has convinced us that there is an absolute for cool, a sort of Plato's realm of ideal shapes for hipsters. Last night an old friend of mine reminded me that cool is as subjective as any of those other abstractions that we throw around. Cool for me probably isn't going to be cool for you. And you know what? I intend not to care anymore. If you don't like my booty dance, the way I sing in my car, or the way I live my life that's too damn bad. I do what I do because deep down inside, I really think it's cool. 

All of the planets have aligned

"Sorry to get all pagan on your ass . . ."-My Roommate "I am so surprised I gave birth to a horse playing sassy slut."-My mom "Lots of chocolate, baths, and the Bible will sort everything out for you."-My Roommate "You think you can walk over here and back and I won't follow you? I'm gonna follow you everywhere like a puppy! Mmm-hmm!"-Federal Work Release Prisoner 

I am a live wire

touch me and elec tricity will sing through your veins if you don't wear in your rubbersouls ideas of escaping near life collisions near mind caresses no? are you careless? or do you mean to open my veins, circuml ocute my hard wiring?
