What's in a name?

So the Writer/Sister want's to know what's with the name.

White Hats are the good guys. They almost always win, and they always get the girl. Generally the school marm who, although she is clearly the hottest woman in the one-horse town, has remained single well into her 30s, which brings up an entirely separate issue of whether Diane Lane should be allowed to play anyone younger than 30 (Under the Tuscan Sun), when she is clearly better in a role just slightly below her actual age (Open Range)--Demi Moore of course should continue to take whatever parts require her to act and dress 15 years younger than she is (Charlie's Angels 2). Black hats are the bad guys. They rob banks, light dynamite with their cigars, and spend a great deal of the movie breaking tables in the saloon with some bottom-dealer's head. Although the black hats generally lose, it seems like they have a lot more fun throughout the movie, right up until they get shot. Thus the tension.

Then you have the White Hat Black Hat movies: Sons of Katie Elder, The Shootist, Unforgiven, Fist Full of Dollars. Here, you have the redemption of the Black Hat through some noble deed--generally beating the tar out of some other Black Hat.

That's it. Good vs. Not-So-Good. Right vs. Not-So-Right. Ying and Yang. Darth and Luke. Jack and Coke. While I know that I will go through life as a White Hat, sometimes adding elements of grey is necesary to keep me sane.

On a side note, while I don't believe in writing like some 16 year old pimple faced techie (i.e. HEY wussup :) LOL! How R U all? IMHO this is way better than face 2 face talkng), I also don't spell check. I figure that you probably know what I mean, and if you don't, well what the hell. There are other blogs out there for you (see Sesame.Street.com). Please just view the spelling errors and gramatical errors for what they are -- the product of a sincere distaste for English class coupled with the invention of "Spell Check".

I'm amazed at how your brain comes up with these things.
