The Coolest Person I've Met...

I had just sort of come up with this as I laid myself to bed, after writing my Text Message of the Night. I wrote a comment on another Blog of one of my favourite people of all time and thought... 'cool people... that's what I should Blog about.' Unfortunately, listing a whole lot of people was daunting, so I want to choose one.

And then my mind raced a bit. My favourite person, or coolest person is someone who I think is an inidividual for the sake of themselves wanting to be an individual. That actually says more than you may think, 'cuz I think there are a lot of people out there who try to define themselves through the repitition of other's actions, for the sake of doing it.

People will always do the same thing that other people have done or are doing, past or present, but to give the idea that they are doing it for themselves and projecting those ideals, makes them cool to me... rather than those people who are sticking to something, often loosely, because they understand it to be an element of cool.

My favourite person and why...

Jen T... I have to admit, she is the coolest gal I've ever met. Serious. Hands down, majority vote... the coolest. She is the epitomy of what I think is cool in this world. She left for SE Asia not too long before I left for England, which made for a good parting as I quit the company that we both worked for... her in Vancouver and myself in Calgary. But from the moment I first got the chance of talking with her on the phone, I knew I had to meet her eventually and when I did, she just blew me away. There was absolutely no part of her that was negative to me... just absolute cool. She is still in Taiwan... and all the luck to her in her travels. I miss her to bits... would love to travel to where she is and visit.

Bar none... the coolest person I've ever met.
