<p><strong>OUCH!!!</strong></p>
<p>He must have had too much to drink!</p>
<p>The <strong>black</strong> and <strong>white</strong> of it:</p>
<p>Although very corny there is a deeper meaning to this, really,  I swear! Lot’s of us nowadays—ever zebras—are so preoccupied with other thing we tend to walk with are heads down (and no I don’t mean literally). When you walk with your head down how can you see what’s in font of you, you might be missing the opportunity you have been waiting for.</p>
<p>So in other words stay open, chin up accept life and live it—never missing an opportunity!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">called Ism’s Bar &amp; Grill…</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zebra says, “I’ll take a beer!”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">An elderly man with a heavy Indian accent sitting next to him says, “Wow, a Zebra! I’ve seen a lot of things here, but never a Zebra.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zebra says, “Glad I could be your first. The name’s Viva, and you are?”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“My name is Gandhi.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“Really? Like thee Gandhi?”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em> </em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“You can say that. Today’s my birthday believe it or not.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zebra says, “Well Happy Birthday! Let&#8217;s celebrate. Can I get you something? A cake, drink, anything?”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Gandhi replies, “Sorry I’m fasting.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here’s the <strong>black</strong> and <strong>white</strong> of it:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Even on his own birthday Gandhi refused cake. Gandhi is the pure example of true dedication! Many of us today feel dedicated to certain things, but so many of us-including zebras-are easily persuaded. For example &#8220;dieting&#8221;. How many times have you been dieting and then when holiday time comes you break it. Then what happens? You scorn yourself for doing so. The best way is to set obtainable goals and stick with them, then over-time increase these goals!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Soon you&#8217;ll be praising yourself instead of scorning yourself!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>A Zebra walks into a bar&#8230;</strong></em><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-8" title="zebra?" src="http://ianroland.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/zebra1-300x233.jpg" alt="zebra?" width="300" height="233" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">with a towel on his head—from the heat of course—and says…</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“I’ll take a beer.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Bartender says,</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“We don’t serve your kind!”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zebra says,</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“My Kind? What, Zebra’s?”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“Nah, you Muslims! We don’t take kindly to Muslims!”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“But I’m not Muslim.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“How do you figure, you ain’t Muslim?”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">“Cuz… I would have ordered water!”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here’s the <strong>black</strong> and <strong>white</strong> of it:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">First off, for those who didn&#8217;t know. A devout Muslim wouldn&#8217;t drink alcohol. For those who did know that—kudos—you earned a Zebra stripe in knowledge! Reading things at face value! Which in my opinion is one of humanities worst traits.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Many people ask me, being a Zebra, &#8220;Hey Zebra! Are you black with white stripes or vice versa?&#8221; My answer is, whether your black and white—like myself the Zebra—or a Christian, Muslim, Hindu… etc… we as “humans or zebras” all have this trait of “judging a book by it’s cover”. We all have something that divides us from the rest of the pack, but in turn, we all have something that we all share—as in feelings, knowledge and our daily problems. It’s time to start collaborating instead of dividing—it’s not an easy task, but not impossible. If everyone were to rid themselves of “preface judgments”, we might have better unity and achieve something much higher than what we got now!</p>
