New and Improved

Just in case you haven't noticed, the page's had a huge overhaul. It was getting kind of bland, so I thought that I'd make it interesting again. Besides the new color and template, I've also stuck in a picture slide show thing and more blog links (if you don't see yours in it, and you want it to be, let me know). Ooh, ooh! I also put in a new toy for you guys. Right below the playlist, there's a poll that I'll be changing every once in a while. Take a look-see, and have your voices heard, people of Earth. Add to that the fact that I'm changing the music more frequently now, and you've got yourself one friggin' awesome blog. Tell your friends.
So I was in one of my history classes today, and we were talking about slavery throughout the world during the 17th and 18th centuries, and I saw something that made me laugh to myself. Sitting two rows in front of me was possibly the only black student in class, and next to him was a girl that was the source of my amusement. She was just listening to the lecture, but as soon as the word "slavery" was said, she looked towards the guy and turned a shade of red you might find on the Japanese flag.
I hate racism. Hate it. But I don't think that means that we should all be colorblind. The black guy was acting totally normal through the whole class, but this girl next him was SO EMBARRASSED that the teacher would DARE mention slavery in current company. She was fidgeting the whole lecture and looked very uncomfortable and shy, all while trying to not look at the student. I literally had to cover my mouth to keep from laughing. It's history, kids.
Here's to overblown political correctness and all the entertainment it does and will provide.
