Vanilla jello and Shakira

So, I was thinking about the amount of diversity there is today. I'm pretty sure that will help world peace, and coexistence, and tolerance. I'm pretty happy about that. I mean, don't get me wrong, I see the Wal-mart, bed bath and beyond Barnes and noble shopping plaza's popping up everywhere, thinking that conformity is finally coming. Resistance is futile, give in to the man, all anyone cares about is the bottom line. But, I guess with the facebooks, you can get a real flavor, yogis, crunchy, consumers, gamers, malls rate, family folks, hunters, non profiters, tattoos, rappers dressing goth, ever increasing number of competing religions , that might just mean it might be almost impossible for any one of them to dominate the rest. I was really afraid in high school when I discovered conformity, that we were all going to turn into vanilla jello. I even wrote a poem about it. It won that year's college poem writing contest. I don't even have a copy of it. :( oh well. I know it started "Die, or be". Morbid, I know. So, is the next new flavor be a big mix of all the other flavors. Also, sort of related, I was surfing the next, listening to samples of Shakir's She wolf album, and thought MAN she's gotten skinny. What's happening to her? Is she conforming? I love Shakira, but where did she go? She has no hips left to lie about anything. I'm just a little worried about her. I hope she hasn't fell for that I have to be a size -2 or something. Don't conform girl!
