apology...

for those of you that saw my last blog, i would like to apologize...not until today did i realize some of the things i posted could be interpretted negatively. Was not my intention, but if you were in any way offended forgive me. This type of thing, however, is the exact type of thing im learning down here on a daily basis...that with color, culture, and history comes  a heightened passion and emotion and certain things can be hurtful.
I am learning the power of words! i consider myself a writer, and as such i feel i have always known the importance of words on paper...but here god's wrestlin with me on spoken words! I have said the wrong thing multiple times...people look at me like im stupid, there is a deathly silence...i apologize and explain my ignorance and we move on...however, i feel that sometimes their hearts are very hurt and my apology doesnt erase the wrong of my tongue. It is for that reason, and this is prob the best advice i'v gotten since i'v been here, i have been told to "be slow to respond, be slow to defend, be slow to speak and let my simple actions be loud" (learning this is harder said then done).
Again, i apologize for the last blog...appreciate those of you that know me enough to know my intentions with what i was saying, but to still point out where i was being ignorant. (like i said, not a new phenomena down here)
quick update: just finished my 5th week of school-got some mid-terms next week! im not the next d. wade, haha, but i'v been playin basketball almost everyday-at least gettin up some shots...its actually been a time where i do most of my processing, so its been kinda a blessing. weathers finally coolin down...still hot most days, but less humid and it cools down and gets kinda breezy at night! counted the contacts in my phone from people at jsu...47! feel like im meetin cool people left and right! i FINALLY got a chance to give blood but in WA i never could cause of diabetes, and it has nothing to do with hte quality of my blood, they worry about my health during the process-so i just didnt tell them i was diabetic, lol, and they didnt ask! OH and i went to WAFFLE HOUSE for the first time last night...(experienced it in cali this summer too) and still dont get the "chicken and waffle" combo, haha...thats all...still just livin the dream, haha!
