Happy Birthday President Obama. If Marylin were still here, I'm sure she'd be singing to you today as you celebrate the big 4-8. Please indulge me a moment while I share my favorite Marylin Monroe story. When Marylin went with Joe to meet her future mother-in-law, Mrs. DiMaggio, she wanted to make a good first impression. She had to use the bathroom while at Mrs. DiMaggio's house and didn't want her to hear her pee, so she turned on the water faucet to cover up the noise. After the meeting, reporters asked Mrs. DiMaggio what see thought about Marylin. She answered, "she's a nice girl, but she pees like a horse." Backfire!
I recently learned a very valuable lesson; just because one 60's black and white sci-fi movie is awesomely bad, that doesn't mean all 60's black and white sci-fi movies are awesomely bad-some are just bad. Months ago I saw 'The Head Without a Body." It was awesomely bad. A doctor and his fiancee get into a car accident where she gets decapitated. He saves the head, keeps it alive, and goes looking in brothels for a new, hotter body for his fiancee. Awesome. A few days ago I watched "The Brain Eaters." An alien species of worm borrow their way into human brains and take control of the brains and actions of their victims. Sounds awesomely bad doesn't it? Nope, it's just bad.
So remember that stereotypes are sometimes right, but sometimes wrong. Try not to judge based on pre-conceived notions based on stereotypes, you may be way off base. I know I was.
