how to look cool - Shirley style

People do all sorts of things to try and look cool. They wear 'designer' clothing, have their hair styled a certain way, listen to a particular music group/solo artist and go to the most 'in' places. BUT some people are just born 'cool'. They don't even have to dress like others or speak like others - in fact a truly cool person can often be totally unlike anyone else on the planet!

According to the on-line Urban dictionary the definition of the word 'cool' is:

The best way to say something is neat-o, awesome, or swell. The phrase "cool" is very relaxed, never goes out of style, and people will never laugh at you for using it, very convenient for people like me who don't care about what's "in."

My boss is one of those people. He is totally cool though I doubt he would even entertain the concept! He was once accused of trying to be cool by dear John! I had to laugh out loud as John is probably one of the most uncool people
  on the planet with his parker and his flat cap - LOL :)

Once again my camera phone came in handy and I picked up the aforementioned conversation...     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s20R7m74zxQ

But seriously folks. If you really want to be cool...BE YOURSELF! Trying to be anyone other than yourself means you are being a clone...I made up a cool rhyme to remember:

'Don't be a clone or a boring old drone,
Take a lesson from Sherlock's School
And just be yourself - which is sooooooo cool!'

ie: Show off your cheekbones and turn up your collar #wink#
