Stop wearing hats? But I could get skin cancer. And I could say I'd stopped wearing them but continue... and you'd never know.Or stop talking about them? Strictly speaking I was the one who labelled it a gimmick. One of the mentors who took my group during my first year orientation (new students get together, get split up and led around by mentors who answer questions, offer advice, tell stories about their own experiences and all that jazz) was what many term "a long haired hippy" dreads, what I suspect was hemp clothing, the works.
He said "Now, you should do what is comfortable be yourself, do your own thing, and hey, you even get noticed. Take me for example, I don't wear shoes..."
And honest to God he had the blackest feet I had ever seen. The point of his story was sometimes something quirky gets a person noticed. I termed it a "gimmick" and thought "well, that doesn't interest me" (hence the irony.) Naturally though I don't agree with it some people seem to, and I guess it is whatever floats ones boat. Though I like to think that hippy finished his course and has had to wear shoes everyday since.

I respect your right to wear hats, but that doesn't mean that I like reading about it.
It's over, Samura. It's god-damn over.
