Mean Girls Mean Really Cool

More From Adam Savage

Cool is spent. cool is empty. cool is ex post facto. when advertisers and pundits hoard a word, you know it's time to retire from it. to move on. i want to suggest, therefore, that we begin to avoid cool now. cool is a trick to get you to buy garments made by sweatshop laborers in third world countries. cool is the triumph of the will. cool enables you to step over bodies. cool enables you to look the other way. cool makes you functional, eager for routine distraction, passive, doped, stupid.
Country Stupid Moving
I can remember how i sang - a little more nasal-y back then. listening to those old recordings is like seeing a photograph of yourself from 10 years ago. you're wearing what you thought looked cool at the time. you had your hair styled the particular way you thought looked cool. it's an accurate depiction of who you were and what you looked and sounded like at that point in your life. it doesn't necessarily mean that it aged in a way that it feels as cool or sounds as good to you, or says what you thought it said, 10 years later. that's just the nature of growing older.
Mean Listening Remember
They'd had fun, for sure. they laughed and enjoyed being together. but if she was painfully honest with herself, something was missing. something in the way tim looked at her. she remembered her mom's word. "i saw the way he looked at you...he adores you." maybe that was it. tim looked at her on a surface level. he smiled and seemed happy to see her. but when cody looked at her, there were no layers left, nothing her didn't reveal, nothing he couldn't see. he didn't really look at her so much as he looked into her. to the deepest, most real places in her heart and soul.
Mom Fun Real
Awkwardness gives me great comfort. i've never been cool, but i've felt cool. i've been in the cool place, but i wasn't really cool - i was trying to pass for hip or cool. it's the awkwardness that's nice.
Nice Giving Trying
You know, the next time you're guilty of anything, the next time you're charged with anything, try saying, "hey, hey, hey, i didn't mean to run the stop sign." or, "i didn't mean to leave the bar and get behind the wheel. i really didn't. i didn't mean to get behind the wheel after having some adult beverages." see if that works for you. and if you're saying it's not the same thing, yes, it is.
Running Mean Trying
Have to sow excellent seeds to have an excellent life. must start with sowing excellent thoughts.
