Now, back to how cool I am...

Most people wouldn't dispute the fact that I am damn near the coolest person around... but I want to reinforce that fact - since I am now the (proud??) owner of a new minivan.

Some of you may question how I can be THAT cool while driving a minivan, and that would be your first error in thought process. Minivans are inherently about as uncool as you can get - you know it, I know it and Uncle Bob knows it. Even when you're by yourself and there aren't 4 kids in the back, you can't crank up the music and present the illusion of coolness to the general public, like you could if you were still driving around your little sedan.

The whole purpose of my blurb today is to advise everyone of an upcoming trend in the world of 'cool'. You see, the minivan wasn't my idea. I give full credit for that brainwave to my significant other. I wanted a sports car but the love of my life, who I will temporarily call Mr. Fun Wrecker, vetoed me based on the fact that we all wouldn't fit in a sports car. "Who cares", says I? "The rest of you can follow me in the truck! (insert evil snicker *here*)"

Fate, however, had other plans: following a tense game of "rock paper scissors" - which I lost - we bought a minivan. For a while I was mildly concerned the impact of this purchase would have on my general cool factor, and then I realized that my concerns were for naught. You see, (listen up, this is where I explain the new cool trend) once people see me cruising around in my new minivan people will realize how awesome they really are. Because of my COLOSSAL coolness, nothing can ever lower my coolness rating - rather, by me driving a minivan, I am now increasing its' coolness factor.

So there you go - there's the future trend in vehicles, I suggest you jump on board.

Wow, after re-reading that title, I think I sound rather pompus. Even with my dry sense of humour it sounds pretty uppity. Apparrently I'm on the right track though, because everyone here seems to think they are the normal ones and the rest of society is the screwed up ones - so I may as well jump right into the water and proclaim my greatness too and explain to the rest of you why you are below par.

I've just started writing and this is my very first BLOG ever. I'm pretty computer proficient (dare I go so far as to say that I'm a bit of a whiz on them?) but I'm forced to admit that I've never heard of blogging or anything of the sort until Jeremy sent me his for my viewing pleasure. From Jeremy I found Joel - who, ironically, I know as well. I'm still trying to figure out who Dane is though.

I'm having a pretty good day so my first post may not be as full of angst as most peoples' but I promise I will work suitably hard to find something to gripe about in true blogging fashion.
(of course, I've only read what a couple of people have had to say, so I may be operating under the misconception that blog is a synonym for 'complain'.)

I'll keep you aprised of any details that I deem you are privledged enough to have knowldge of.
