Just “Almost” Cool
by Missy Thompson, August 25, 2009
Yep that's me, always just about there - but not completely. Always one banana seat away from cool. I have a November birthday, and you would think that would mean I was ahead of the crowd when it came to the latest in greatest gifts - not so much. It started back in elementary school when I received a beautiful new bike for my birthday. I was the coolest kid around for about five minutes. Then Christmas came and everyone in the neighborhood got the bright green bikes with flower covered banana seats and curved, low sloping handlebars. Typical. I feel the same now about technology. Always seem to be behind the game when it comes to cool. I'm dying for an IPhone. I'm a freaking creative after all - isn't there some sort of law? But of course, phone contracts, provider exclusivity and friends and family programs keep me one step away from coolness. It's elementary school all over again. Now I realize this is a fairly superficial thing to worry about. I mean healthy kids and all that. But really - someone needs to talk to Apple, convince them to make the jump to Verizon. Help the "almosts" everywhere to hit their mark and be a part of the cool crowd - finally.
