Remember when I asked your mom to prom?
In my communications 113 class we have an assignment for the very last day of class, it’s a big project, our final, as you'd expect to have in college. This project is called Master of Minds, basically you along with a few other people in a group have to become someone else for a period of time answering questions as this person. The requirements for the person you pick are simple, they can be pretty much anyone in history, at least somewhat well known, that has had some kind of impact on history, except Jesus Christ or someone else, I don't remember who though...but anyways, this leaves the door pretty much wide open.
My first reaction to hearing this is wanting to watch Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and picking my favorite historical figure from there, now as much fun as it'd be wearing a sheet and dressing up as Socrates for the even, I didn't decide on any character that I felt connected with. So back to the drawing board...who can I be...I start thinking...and then I stop at Bob Marley....Bob Marley...perfect, being a Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, cont..., fan I think to myself "Self, who else has had such a major impact on music history then Bob Marley, in my world at least."
So I've pretty much decided this is who I'm gonna be....unless anyone else has someone cool to recommend to me. I'm open to changing in someone has a better ide
a...go one?

I don't have all the answers either, but I'm thinking maybe you should be johnny canuck... He's so cool, spamming people's blogs and all... I want to be just like him! :)

I'm still trying to figure out what asking your mom to the prom has to do with a communications class and Bob Marley. Do you have a green and yellow knit cap, a dreadlock wig, and a big reefer to get into character?

I had to do the same thing in my speech class with Koobistant. I was Frank Sinatra. the age was Jimi Hendrix.

you don't smoke near enough weed to be bob marley. it's not right to fake the funk. it would be like pretending to be jimmy page, then showing up sober.

Hendrix was a tough character to pull off physically. Especially when you are interacting with Monroe and Sinatra. I had one of those Grooving Napolean Dynomite suits on for the gig along with a fro-wig.

Best advise would be to be someone you already know a lot about. Not so much someone you like, but someone you know you can pull off anwering questions the way they would. I think you should be GI Jane.
