Above all else, I'm very cool.

I'm becoming cool as a cucumber. Under pressure. Maybe that's the one thing I've learned as I get older. How to stay reserved. To not panic. Some people close to me will dispute that I stay cool under fire. They say I'm fooling myself. But I know better. And they are the very same people who get flustered themselves. Maybe they are annoyed with me. For staying cool. So they refuse to recognize that I'm the cooler character. When I point that out to them, they often lose their cool. It's as if I've baited them. But I do it to prove that they lose their cool. And that I really don't. Yes, I'm calm, collected and above all else, cool. Very cool. --Jim Broede
