Too Cool For School

So one thing that makes me laugh is when one wears their shades (aka sunglasses) indoors for an extended period of time. Now...there may or may not have been an artist in the building today who wore their's the entire time...which in turn inspired this here little entry. We may be in California, but the building is not sunny inside. The building does not even have bright lights.

The irony of the situation is that the point of one wearing their shades indoors it to show that they are, indeed, too cool for school. When in reality, if you feel the need to prove yourself cool you are actually, in essence, not cool at all.

There are some exceptions to the rule, however. Sunglasses can be worn indoors when and only when:

• You have them on outside and your hands are full; you can take them off once you set everything down; no longer than five minutes, please
• You want to make an entrance to a party or gathering and the shades compliment your outfit (this is pushing it, but I'm leaving it open due to all you rockstars out there that I know can't help themselves - after all, it's an accessory, right?)
• You are Stevie Wonder; or another blind citizen
• You are on a plane (or in the airport) and it's sunny outside

If you do not fall under these few categories then please, remove the shades. Otherwise, you'll blow your cover.
