lame but, staying true to yourself.

So I found this picture on facebook (it's the new craze, tagging all our friends as "the (insert adjective here) one."

Notice, Williamsburg Hipster, bottom left corner.
In my grad art history course we talked about the difference between being "cool" and being "hip" while analyzing Pulp Fiction. Conclusion, it's better to be cool. Being hip is temporary. Being cool is a constant state of being. I've never liked the term "hipster" for that reason.

I'd consider myself cool. I have a solid sense of who I am, what I like, and so forth. Yes, I may change during my internship due to a lot of different reasons, the area, the people I work for etc, but if I change, it'll be on my own terms. Not to fit in, and not to make others happy.

Just to make me happy. Cause that's what's important :-)
