Keep 'Em On

I'm not sure when my aversion to sunglasses began, but I have a feeling it has to do with Tom Cruise. Risky Business, the aviators in Top Gun, he wore them all through Rain Man. I always think of him as wearing sunglasses. Somewhere really early I on I decided I wasn't a fan of Tom Cruise. I know using the word phony makes me sound like Holden Caulfield, but Tom Cruise is a phony. It's just so painful for me to watch him act. He's good at the cocky asshole part, but once he tries to get serious it's just terrible.

So in my mind I think it works like this: Tom Cruise = phony. Tom Cruise = sunglasses. Therefore, sunglasses = phony.

I should be more mature.
