Ever wonder what all the cool kids are upto these days? Well despite feeling ancient having barely passed the cusp of 27, I've looked for timeless symbols, little things that'll allow me to hold on to youth and still be that cool kid I once imagined myself to be. There's one timelessly cool symbol that has been relatively omnipresent, to date, and yet left me dumbfounded and completely unwilling to participate, despite the OBVIOUS cool(ness).
I'm speaking, of course, of that wicked cool accessory that seemingly cool folks hold in stylishly cool manners in their fingers, breathing in pure cool(ness) and puffing out cool clouds of awesome, all the way inching closer and closer to the increased likelihood of some really bloody cool Cancer; I call em Cancer sticks, some say cigarettes.
Timeless and unaffected by the amazing advancements in blatant scientific truth telling with a touch of arrogant "who cares if you don't like it"(ness) and the handy little designs and attractively packaged with guts and rotting lungs phenomenon, it's fairly obvious why these symbols of pure cool are still in many a hand around many a location within many an age group despite many a law banning many a cool kid from smoking many a cancer stick in many a location in this many a fine country and many others across many a planet (the truth is out there, it still is, Moulder and Scully never did find it!)
So there you have it, that one timeless symbol of cool(ness); Rolls Royce has its time, iPad has its, the big bang theory has its time and so do ferraris (hover cars soon? Anyone? 3d printed ones perhaps?) but the cancer stick; timeless...
So the day these geeky new 3D printers can begin rolling up little sheets of paper with who-knows-what cancerous burning junk, count me in, great investment, but I just can't bring myself to be cool enough to smoke one...but then again, isn't there a study out by now proving that practically everything can lead to cancer...?
