It's strangely not uncommon for people to call me a hipster, which in my opinion is odd. Hipsters are hip. I don't think of myself as being cool enough to be hip. I don't know much about music and certainly nothing about under ground bands. I don't practice photography nor keep up on indie films. I don't get wasted on PBR and am certainly not addicted to nicotine. So maybe I grow some wicked facial hair and wear black wayfarer glasses. Maybe I rock TOMS and don't wash my hair but every four days. Maybe have a kombucha and do watch indie films. But still, I'm not hip to the standards of a hipster. However, I will accept being called a hipster because although I'm not part of the hipster counter culture I am part of the counter culture for Christ and in my opinion that's as hip as you can get. I appreciate people thinking I'm cool enough to be called a hipster (yes, I know most people don't really think hipsters are cool but to me there is an allure to their relaxed grungy waste of life attitude- I think it's because they're able to not care about anything so easily) but I hope that one day the world will think I'm cool because of who I choose to follow.
Peace&Jesus to all the greasy haired, inked up, plastic framed glasses wearing, indie rock listening counter culture hipsters. may your version of the hipster and mine one day coincide.
