trying too hard

on the 6 uptown to work, there was an asian guy wearing a plaid vest, jeans, carrying an army green messenger bag, and sunglasses. sunglasses. inside. in the subway. where no light comes in.

i never understood why people where sunglasses inside buildings or when it's dark out. are they hiding something? bags? a black eye? my guess is they (1) spent a shitload of money on them and want to get their money's worth outta them or (2) they think it looks cool.

i think it's a turn off.

i remember once in my freshman or sophomore year of highschool there was this guy that i was crushing on. we met through a literary group that i was co-editor of. the boy was very tall, cute, intense, and a poet. things were going well- he was digging me and i was digging him. until he came into a meeting wearing sunglasses. inside. where it was dimly lit. needless to say, that was the end of my crush.
