Marketing.

Its interesting how carefully people in marketing choose words that go on advertisements. This morning I took a shower and the only shampoo was a bottle that was for women of color. Now I'm no women, and although i'm a little brown -- I'm far from of color - But it said shampoo on the bottle so I risked it. Luckily -- my hair didn't turn into a honeycomb on top of my head -- or a big afro. It just turned clean. Now, thats horseshit that there needs to be special shampoo for 'women of color'. I mean - - my hair is exactly the same as when I wash it with any other shampoo. This is just an example. Now I know black people generally have different hair than white people - but soap is soap. I really believe that theres nothing different from one shampoo to the others. Marketing really aggrivates me. It makes consumers out to be stupid shmucks who dont know anything. The sad thing is, us consumers play right into that crap. We take everything they feed us and lose our ability and need to think and operate for ourselves. This is yet another problem with our society. I think we're all turning into Vegetables.

Back in action

I got back into town on Monday from my internship. It was great. Besides learning a lot, I enjoyed staying with that branch of my family. I think staying close to your entire family is a great thing. I grew up being raised by all my aunts, uncles, grand parents, and even great aunts, uncles, grandparents. I played with all 15 of my cousins. Having a strong family background has really been a great thing. There's always been support when going through tough times and through good times. Thats one of the problems with America these days. Family structure has gone out the window and people are on their own.
