			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a kid, I was taught that you did not have to listen to peer pressure. Popularity and being cool was not what life was about. Later in life, there was an attempt to pressure me into staying in school to be cool. However, due to the former lesson in life I was able to reject this pressure.  I dropped out of school and stopped any attempt to be cool.</p>
<p>I was not the only person to see through this pressure. I have a friend from high school who did not stay in school to be cool. He is now traveling the world. He is in a band, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/setyourgoals">Set Your Goals</a> and they <a href="http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2010/02/12/set-your-goals-lady-gaga-just-dance-kazoo/">covered Lady Gaga&#8217;s &#8216;Just Dance&#8217; on kazoos</a>. I think this is cool (however, I understand that me dropping out of school means I have no say in what cool is).</p>
<p>In short, all I want to say is BE YOURSELF! If you are not, I will come to your house and make fun of your for not being cool.</p>
