Too Cool For School
Have you ever known someone that thinks their way too cool to like anything that's popular? You know the people I'm talking about:
- The ones that won't be seen in a PT Cruiser, mini van, or an SUV
- The ones that refuse to listen to a song that's sold over a million copies
- The ones that call their preferred music/style of dress/etc. "underground"
- The ones that won't eat at a chain restaurant
- The ones that won't see a movie that's playing at a mainstream theater
- The ones that think blue hair and body art are new, clever and interesting
Well, you get my drift. I've noticed these same people often have the habit of saying "I was doing that LONG before it was cool!" They also usually abhor Christianity, middle-aged men and anyone that's done well in business financially. Then, they make sure you know that they hate intolerance.
I'd just like to say that, today, those people are on my very last nerve.

Yep. We've got this friend who always says, "Did I hip you to that?" Unfortunately, he's always talking about something YOU told HIM about. But, you can't say, "No, dude. You didn't hip me to that because I told YOU about it." We try to just let it go.
It takes a lot of energy to be around people like that. More than I have to spare, that's for sure.
LOL...
Intolerant People Against Intolorance!
They should form a lobby group...
but they couldn't stand each other!
I find that I too have a low tolerence for stupidity.
Stupid people SUCK.

People have to define themselves somehow. I think it takes a certain kind of courage to be a nitwit in the face of overwhelming odds.
Anyway, as someone who often speaks up about why it's absolutely idiotic to, say, eat at McDonald's (there are SOOOOO many reasons), I have to say this: JUST DEAL.
See, you're mistaking my (wise) decision to eschew the unworthy for 'intolerance.'
As for people who claim the cool points they don't deserve, that's another matter entirely. Are you thinking of someone in specific, Sadzi? Maybe someone I know?
Muhahahhaa... not this time, Homer. I had a big group of Austinites in mind, really, and mostly musicians. You know, the ones whose music is so cool it can't be defined...
I hate these people too! I tried to buy a PT Cruiser, but they were sold out!
Yep, i know a few of them.... hey, in fact, i am one of them!!! Joke!
Ahh! MUSICIANS. All becomes clear. Insecurity disguised as taste. What a predicament...
