Solar Shield

I wear sunglasses 80% of the day.
80% of the time that I'm awake.
Of course.


My sunglasses are huge. Not joke-style huge. 
Just large.


They've been called many things, 'grandma glasses', 'cataract glasses', 'stunna shades', etc.
Well I don't do xtc, I don't have glossy failing eyes, and I don't know the pleasures of having grandchildren.
I wear them for the sense of dominance they give me.
Social dominance.

In all reality, I'm a harbored and quiet guy.
However, if I'm in an environment that I feel comfortable, in control of, I talk, joke, sing, all the time. 



Well my sunglasses broke yesterday.
I can already tell I'm compensating for their loss.
Saying silly things or flinching. 
Maybe this entire entry is a silly thing.

i don't think it's silly. although i don't think it's good that you have to rely on sunglasses to feel a certain way.
when i was younger, i found that it helped me to walk around with a pencil box full of eraser shavings. i'm not sure why this helped me, but it helped me. that was back in elementary school when i was very strange & only had a few friends. i don't think i do anything nowadays to feel social dominance, because i know i can never dominate socialism. it dominates me.
maybe if you still wore your broken sunglasses, but you wore them with a tangible confidence, no one would question you.

p.s. i have a pair of joke-style huge sunglasses. they don't fit on my face because the part that fits on my nose is strange. so the joke is how much money i paid for huge sunglasses that really do not fit my face. oh well.
