ME and LIL JOE!!!

always wearin jsu colors!!!

ohhhh....so thats what it feels like

last night was the first time that hatred/misunderstanding of me was acted out...im sure there are plenty of people here that wonder why im here or that dont like me simply because of the color of my skin, but no one has said it or acted in a way that would let me know. Last night however, i went out to a club with some girls after the football game. Its delta week, one of the girls in the house is a delta so we've been busy with events and they were holdin somethin after the game...
Anyways, i went and yes i was the only white person there but i didnt feel that i stuck out all that much until a man asked me to dance...i kindly declined...then he tried to grab me and i threw his hand to the side and turned to walk away...next thing i know he is pouring his beer on my head!!! half of me was mad and half of me wanted to laugh(i hear beer is good for your hair!!! haha)...and i guess a little part of me wanted to cry! The girls i was with were just as upset as i was...i was thankful they had my back...but heres the interesting thingg....one of em said "he knows better than to do that to a black woman" and i thought he should kno better than to do it to ANYONE!
but everything here is a race thing and i know im not gonna change the world while im here but a good discussion came out of it with the girls and i guess thats all i wish while im here; to talk about the tough stuff that no one wants to say! Now mom, dad, grandpa, grandma...whoever read this and got nervous or scared for me, that's not why i wrote this...i am not any more afraid or scared as i was before this happened. If anything i feel enlightened...just wanted to share the experience!

Delta pageant...Mr. Esquire

i cant load the video for some reason:( but the pageant was fun/funny! there were 8 contestants...there was an opening dance, formal wear, question and answer, "male physique"-no this wasnt swim wear or boxers, haha, each person was assigned a sport and they had to dress the part! and lastly there was a talent portion. Some of the guys that were in it are involved in R.U.F so it was fun to see them! At intermission the dance ensemble performed and that was actually probably my favorite part! i'll continue to try and get some videos up because i feel like the best way to tell you guys what im experiencing is to show you!

Me, Shalonda and Jasmine at the Mr. Esquire pageant!!!

picnic cont..

delta picnic

when i was talked into coming to this little did i know that it was a female affair! which is great, im all for sisterly bonding but it has taken a little longer for the women down here to warm up to me...so i walked up with my other roommate, shalonda, and we were gettin the evil eye from some folks! luckily jasmine came running up and hugged me and introduced me to everyone as her roommate, which turned some of the frowns upside down, haha! it was SO fun to watch the girls...the sisterhood means so much to them and they really enjoy eachother! It was just unlike anything i had ever seen tho! all females, loud music and dancing to EVERY song! but not everyone could dance...if you noticed, the dances are choreographed so only the line sisters know the moves! i was however dragged onto the dance floor for the electric slide! haha
