I Miss

I Miss the stray dogs, I Miss the goats, I Miss the taxi, I Miss the food minus the after effects, I Miss my people, I Miss the culture, I Miss being the majority now im back to being the minority, I Miss my friends, I Miss not knowing, I Miss exploring, I Miss the night times, I Miss the rooftop, I Miss the adventure, I Miss the air, I Miss the beach, I Miss the walks, I Miss blending in, I Miss the little things, I Miss how it made me feel, I Miss you, I Miss trying to understand the language, I Miss just getting up and going, I Miss not knowing what to expect, I Miss the warm rays, I Miss the cool nights, I Miss learning about what they kept from us.... I Miss it

It has been a adventure that i would have never thought I would have experienced ever. I’ve see so many things and met so many great people in the past few weeks. Sadly my time here is coming to a end, and this chapter will close for now. But when i get the chance I will open it back up and begin to explore some more. I cant lie I do miss the states and some of my family and friends. But honestly I could really see myself just living out here. The living is easy and not demanding at all. Just need to brush up on my language and I got it. I’ve been able to think clearly, and not be congested with all of this negative thoughts. I’ve been able to keep that "Inner Peace" within myself. I just hope when I go back home ill be able to maintain that. So if there comes a time when i feel like I’m losing it, I'll just think back to the time I was in Africa, that should work.

But on a lighter note. I do have more pic and vids... but the internet is a little washy. It works when it wants. I have a lot of clips that I think you guys would enjoy and i cant wait to post them for you. So ill probably do that when I get back in the states. But today we go camel riding. Never been on a camel before. So we will see how this goes. Wish us Luck

The countdown begins

Well my journey is slowly but shortly coming to a end. But it's not over yet, I feel like I still haven't found something yet. I can't put my finger on it yet. I know I'm close to it. But I will say this, what a wonderful and inspiring journey this has been. You can watch tv and think you know but until you indulge yourself in anothers culture, you still have no clue. If you get a chance to go anywhere... TAKE IT. My ignorance almost let me pass up on this experience. But I'm glad my simba talked some sense into me.

Well today we are attending a ceremony for the students that are graduating today. But we have to put on a performance. They are really excited for us to perform. I was to until I took a look in my bag an realized my camera was dead. I'm pretty sure someoe will have pics. Well until next time... INNER PEACE

Some Images and Vids from Senegal

New city... New people... New atomsphere

Finally I'm back and I'll be able to upload many pics from senegal and videos. I'm actually blogging from my iPod touch right now... Thanks technology you are simply amazing. But we have arrived in Mauritania, and it's more so a Muslim country. It's very different fron Senegal, which is a more fast pace city. And here it more slow. My professor gave me a new word to use the, people of Mauritania are Nomatic. I believe I spelled that right if not I'll fix it. But basically they are very laid back. That sounds like myself, so I should fit right in. Well it's 4:41am back home as I'm blogging now and 8:41am here. So now getting ready for class. Check back soon
keep that INNER PEACE

Reality Check

OK so this is day two in Africa/Senegal, and I must say that this has to be one of the best summers so far. I mean its just a eye opener not even for African Americans that have not been to Africa but for any race. And I also think that everyone should come here at least once. Its just my thought but I feel like people have misconception that most Africans are dirty and live in the slums and can not take care of themselves. My professor made a excellent point, people think this and that until they come over and take a look for themselves.. They live just like us, everyone has a struggle but we all find means to get by. Another thing that bothers me is that, People seem to associate AIDS with Africa. WHY?….. When Aids is everywhere… The person you work with could have AIDS. it’s the silent killer. We just need to stop being so judgmental and understand.

GOOD MORNING AMERICA!!!!

This is where I "B"

Simply Amazing

So i made it safe out here to my first stop which is Senegal. And we were supposed to stay on this campus, but plans changed and we end up staying on this beach resort. WOW.... I have my own room with the view of the Atlantic only a few steps away from me. Pics and videos will be posted up shortly. Very Very humble right now.

Im Back

So im finally back and have some real exciting news if you didnt know already. But im leaving for Africa tomorrow. It hasnt really hit me yet, but im pretty sure when i wake up it will. Its been along time, but I said I would be back with some new ventures in the works. Stay tuned for more...
