Blessed Are the Uncool

Polka Uncool

Once we get over our cool, new vistas open up for the enjoyment of life. We can sing. We can enjoy stupid games. We can get let ourselves be seen with more people - perhaps even the best people we'll ever meet.

It's surreal. There are so many hours I wasted worrying how good I look. Who cares? An example: rejecting cool allowed me to dance at a great wedding I was at last week. More specifically, it allowed me to request the chicken dance from a DJ who was playing exclusively funk/disco.

Uncool freed me up to show off my polka moves.
