The title of this blog was liberally borrowed from designer Bruce Mau's "Incomplete Manifesto for Growth". Statement number 14 says: "Don't be cool. Cool is conservative fear dressed in black. Free yourself from limits of this sort." This notion of a superficial armature against the world has had an adverse effect on us for far too long and I fear it may end up establishing a negative connotation. We decided to update the statement for use in contemporary times; which will continue the cycle of falling out of vogue and ironically become dated itself.
We will try to refrain from petty name calling and tawdry gossip no matter how petty and tawdry we feel at that particular point in time. Frankly, I have grown tired of wasting my time on the trivial and have decided to use my time developing a new outlook and trying to project my ideas, notions, whims, and fancies upon the zeitgeist.
I know both of us use our environment, no matter the circumstances, as inspiration and a catalyst for motivation. (Also, I'll try to stop speaking for the both of us). Feel free to comment, borrow, inspire, or discount anything written within this page. I am fully cognizant of how much I have to learn from others and will openly welcome confrontation and criticism.
En avant.
