Well, earlier this month (or rather in November) I was told that I could not get a hair cut because the salon didn't carry shampoo for African American women. Isn't that sad? That in 2009, their are people that believe there are certain shampoo companies that cater to certain ethnicities. How very ignorant. I wasn't as angry as I was shocked. My expectations of said salons was much higher and so as I move into my New Years and Resolutions and all that crap, I feel like America's New Years Resolution should be "to be more informed". I don't think-no wait- I KNOW that racism will never go away, but people can just try and be more informed about the ever-changing world around them. Very much not interested in the character of the woman who said this to me but most of all, I want people to be more informed. Or in other words, THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. Geez.

Clouded Leopards and Why the World is only Separated by Language and Seas
Clouded leopards are the most interesting cats I've ever heard about, thanks to Animal Planet. They are the only cats that can climb down trees, and they can open there mouth larger than any other feline. Furthermore, they are the direct decedents of of the Saber Toothed Cat (Tiger).
Amazing.
And the world is only separated by Language and Seas. We are not any different otherwise. So I encourage all of you to travel our beautiful planet and learn a new language. Try something different, because what you'll find is that we all have similarities based on the Human Design. We all have hearts that break, laugh at jokes, smile when we're happy, cry when we're sad; we simply are not connect by land. And according to what HIstory has taught us, that means nothing anyway.
