Dividing the Population
After reading this excellent blog about how the entire population of the world can be divided into either Pirates and Ninjas, or Elves and Dwarves, I have decided that there’s nothing better to do with my time than discovering new blanket categories in which to shove the innocent denizens of the world.
Unfortunately, I haven’t found a very neat one…but here goes. People fall into two categories; Tom Hankses and Bill Murrays (I know this is a white/male paradigm, but I’m too tired to put on the feminist gear).
I have been kind of anti-Tom Hanks lately (and by lately I mean the last ten years). Now I know there is nothing more personally destructive than to denigrate high powered super stars, but this is different, it’s personal. I was in love with Tom Hanks when I was thirteen after watching him rock the sit-com world for two stellar seasons on “Bosom Buddies.” Tom Hanks was a teenaged girls dream guy; sharp, charmingly unguarded, but beneath the nice-guy exterior he was filled with mojo and we all knew it. He has since done some fairly decent work, but nothing really lives up to the “Bosom Buddies” days in my nostalgic opinion, and I’m kind of bummed. The teenaged girl in me wants the quick-witted, anything for a laugh guy back, and is really nauseated by his awards speeches. I don’t care how many Academy Award Winning Meisner Induced performances he’s given…if you ask me, he lost some of his mojo. I won’t blame fame and fortune…it just happens.

Shakespeare never wrote a play about losing your mojo, but it’s worthy of compassion, nonetheless. (I’m sorry if you’re reading this Tom Hanks…um, you can still get it back…it’s so easy to sit in quiet judgement from a cubicle).
On the other side of this poorly executed paradigm, Bill Murray has gained in mojo over the past few years. He seems more courageous, vulnerable, and expressive in his later films. Maybe fame and fortune has given him courage, but since I can’t blame that for making Hanks lose it, I can’t credit it either.
A lot of older women seem to gain mojo, (maybe it’s easier to take chances and be yourself when you’re age bracket bores people), and I think Carrie Fisher (Princess Lea is hilarious), Judi Dench, and Cathy Bates got it goin’ on.
You can’t put a price tag on it and it transcends race, class, popularity, brains, and happiness. As we travel through life some people gain it (Murrays) and others lose it (Hankses).
Ok, so this isn’t working as well as the Pirate/Ninja paradigm, but there you go….
Just for today, I will be careful to monitor my mojo.
