blinker: are you from the Phillippines? I'm not a Filipino but I grew up there, mostly in Bukidnon and Manila. I <3 that country.

Anyways I don't know if I'm cool, I gave up on that a long time ago. Now I just try to be human.

I guess I'm funky, but not really cool. I'm not a leather jacket-wearing, soda machine-punching badass like Fonzie...I'm more of a chilled out, hippie-ish, 'smoke my joint and roll down the street with a latte in my hand' kind of guy. That describes my sense of style, anyway.

Of course people will say that their cool if you ask them, -especially- if it's over the internet, since it's quite hard to talk against it if they havn't seen / meat you yet (thinking of 'cool' as in looks and style). Though if you really tell the one asking that you do not consider yourself as 'cool' and you really mean it, many people will think you're cool just because of the fact that you broke the trend of answering yes on that old, fugly question.

In my opinion, most people -will- answer yes, so you're believing that the next person will answer yes too. And it's -this- that starts the chain reaction making everyone that answers the question, be it 'yes' or 'no', without to much consideration, thought of as 'cool'. The answer doesn't really matter.

Good answer Scorch!!! This has been thought and disscused before but what cool really mean in our opinion something we like, think its orriginal,been very brave(bungee jumping as an example), defiant towards society(rappers punkers etc.)?????

Im cool on the internet... IRL, I am a looser!

we're all cold as ice. at least in practice. everyone thinks one can do anything if he/she just has an appetite for doing that. so yes, i'm cool after a fashion

It depends on your definition of cool. If I am standing in a cold room, then I could be defined as cool. If you mean socially, then probably not.

In my own little world, I'm pretty cool. In reality, I'm just another Geek. I think those who know me well would call me cool, but to those who don't know me, not so much.

What a wierd topic.
Everybody knows im the coolest guy on earth!
Even Chuck Norris is looking up to me

Everybody knows im the coolest guy on earth!
Even Chuck Norris is looking up to me Very Happy

Great to hear that, do you also speak with a texan accent, have a texan hat, love texan food and are a master of texan martial arts???

It dependes a lot on your vision upon cool....I for one consider that I have to work a little bit more in order to become cool, although I have mostly everything I want

It doesnt really matter if your cool or not as long as you never tried to hurt/offend/bully someone in any way. What matters most is the personality of a person not it's coolness.

Uncultured and uneducated people will always think coolness means something like in the way of respect, and usually coolness for them means breaking rules, doing stupid stuff and other teenage junk...

Well said tarbosaurus_geticus =) besides, coolness can be obtained only if a person has a good contribution in the society. In that way many people will recognize you as one of the coolest person ever lived or so....

i have lived in too many places to be considerd cool (for the record, i used to live within 30 miles of norris, dont like him much, the wanker)

u can say im cool and u can say im a loser, cause with as much movein as i have done im so open to everything i can basicly be called a "everyone". in todays modern culture i guess i can be called cool, and many people tell me im cool, but i like to think of myself as the known loser/nerd. as my music taste goes i love rock from the old stuff to new stuff (but i am picky about a lot of trash thats being put out today and what was put out in the 80's).

im also into hip-hop, my favorite style being 90's rap like wu-tang, tribe called quest, DMX, NAS, and so on. but im also into the new stuff like jeezy, chamillionare (lone wolf ranch, chuck norrises ranch, is about 2 hours from houston, so i knew all those guys before they hit the main stream). and i used to go to the metal bar around here till it got shut down, all the people in the mosh pit loved me cause i was a old school style metal head, cause as a kid i was always with my older brother who was 6 years older and had friend older than him by many years.

i also like techno, classical, rock-a-billy, jazz, old blues (screw B.B. king), folk music, and so on (white stripes rule and jack white is a guitar god, up there with jimmy page, tony ioma, jimmi hendrix, kim savage, dime bag, van hallen, and all the others)

in school i had honors math cause i love to learn and math was a easy subject for me, same as history cause i do find history repeats itself. i am a very fat kid, but i do love martial arts and know some history of martial arts, and do practice what i can, which has won me many fights, weither i was useing what i know of a style , or useing my own style.

i like art, video games, am a very musical person and play bass guitar, also i like to mess with drums, and keyboards and make my own songs even if i cant record them. i also rap as wiggerish as it sounds. im a very active pothead, plain and simple. i can tell u many things about marijuana, and THC specificly that a lot of people dont know. and i love to spread the knowledge cause knowledge truely is power no matter what it is, and if i may i am going to steal a quote from wickedjester.com

"The small red text written below the skull reads: "Educatio est omnium efficacissima forma rebellionis" which is scripted in Latin. The English translation means "Education is the most effective form of rebellion". The moral of Thorin's quote is that much more can be accomplished with a book rather than a bat. The system itself cannot be beaten by simply dropping out and having a middle finger attitude. To truly make a difference, you need not only angst, but also a firm foundation on what makes the system what it is. Past revolutionaries (Che, King Jr, Gandhi....) all knew how to use the system to their advantage and bring about change. Society loves stupid people because they are so easy to control. To truly make a difference organize with the tools that truly bring about change: Education and Unity. The sheep (people in general) are force fed crap everyday via the media. Unfortunately, they take it all in with their mouths open wide. The uneducated cannot tell the difference between truth and lie, instead they tend to believe everything that is broadcasted without even questioning it. Everyday the system is unjust and unfair. Without education, and unity, this massive corporate lobbied tax hijacked machine can never be re-tooled. It is up to YOU to make the changes needed to improve YOUR society. It is time to stand for what you believe in, and be heard. Ignorance is the single greatest tool of oppression." this is something i believe to be one of the truest things ever said.

so i let u know a little about me, and thats only what i can tell u on paper (or in this case a screen) and there is so much more people can learn about me in person that cant be described on this paper, such as my home life, my expressions, my loves, my hates, how and what makes me laugh and what i do to make others laugh.

i let u be the judge on weither im cool or not, but what ever u made decide i have had that title before and will probably get it again. and to be honest, being a fat kid since child hood, and being 6foot 4.5inches tall at mid 14 all the way threw 16, im used to it all. so as i said and tell everyone. call me what u will, weither its a title or a name, it doesnt bother me.

peace
