The way I see it, I love losers and will be a loser forever.
Merriam Webster: Loser- 1 : a person or thing that loses especially consistently
2 : a person who is incompetent or unable to succeed; also : something doomed to fail or disappoint
Urban dictionary: Loser- A person who is extremely cool and happy with themselves, yet looked down upon for being different. Just because someone is a loser doesn't mean they are not cool. The cool part about being a loser is getting to admit you are one. E.g. Losers are cool.
A loser isn't someone who wears short sleeved nerd jerseys with pocket protectors and parted hair covered in shiny gel. It's not some hermit kid whose social calendar is bursting at the seams with interaction with their mother and no one else. It's not someone who cannot successfully converse with anyone on a topic unrelated to science. Deep down, most of us are losers. It's when it's Saturday night and half your peers are plastered beyond belief and/or transferring body fluids with one another and you'd rather stay at home by yourself and watch old movies. It's when you'd love to approach a group of new people, but you're just a teeny bit haunted with self doubt. And when you do strike up conversation, your gum falls out of your mouth or you say something remarkably stupid. It's when you sit on your bed, daydreaming of all the pretty lives you could live and all the people you could know, see, become. But instead of being out there living your aspirations, the loser in you keeps you nailed to the floor. "Until then I'll hide in my bedroom, staying up all night just to write a love song for no one."
Really, losers are the only people for me. I'm just not one for pierced ears and the Ed Hardy backpacks and the hair that lost a fight to a blender. I like people who use big words in casual conversation and actually know what they're saying. I like boys who dress like Vampire Weekend and care about their grades more than they care about getting drunk and womanizing. I like people who kind of sometimes feel like they were born in the wrong decade. I like people who can't quite get a hang of becoming the person they wish they were and can never say anything just right. That's my cup of tea. That's right, the only ones for me are the losers.
"The cool part about being a loser is getting to admit you are one."
I love losers and will be a loser forever. But hey, that's just the way I see it.
