Call me Cool Hand Jim.

I carefully choose. Things that upset me. Because I don’t like being upset. Makes me uncomfortable. Going through a day, or even a few moments, in upset fashion. That doesn’t sit well with me. I want to  stay calm, cool, collected. Call me Cool Hand Jim. That annoys some people. They’d like to see me as the Annoyed One. But I smirk. And wear my cool demeanor. My modest way of saying, ‘I’m superior.’  And I am. As long as I can remain cool. Seems to me that coolness is an attitude. A chosen way of life. We can all choose to be cool. But some of us find it easier than others. Maybe we were blessed. Born with cool genes. I’m a natural born cool guy. –Jim Broede
