Sup world? My name is Douglas James but my friends call me Doug. Most people would tell you that i'm a really cool dude, and they're right. Other people would tell you that i'm smart or bright so i let them think that as well! But for real though, i'm just a 19 year old African American Male who loves his family and friends to death. I think that i have a way with words and that i'm wise beyond my years, but that's just my opinion. I'm entering my sophomore year at ______ in the fall (snickering to my self). I'm currently pursuing a degree in english. This year is a year of many changes and i hope you can keep up!!!

the slow dance of wisdom

... i can't remember a day when we were not together and no matter how much time passes we never have an uneventful day so to speak. he always wants to lead in every decision we have to make and i assure you his instincts are phenomenal! for the majority of the time i sit back and enjoy the ride and i love it...however, sometimes i have to make decisions because he just doesn't see the big picture. when its a big decision i let him react and then i assess the situation and we make a final decision that is best for the team. you see, he, the heart, can be overly passionate and its my, the mind, job to make sense of the situation and put things into perspective for the team. so i guess it's a slow dance. now keep in mind that we all were placed her and had nothing but our instincts and then our mind developed and we could begin to make better decisions. whether it was learned behaviors or instincts we modified to help fit our modern world we began to use the mind more and more as time went on. you can't have wisdom without experience and thats one of the facts of life. you do somethings that you'll blame the heart for, or you'll blame me for and that's the way the cookie crumbles but you make sure you learn from it so when you see it again you'll know what not to do. you don't always find out what to do, but i promise you'll find out what things not to do when it comes to life. learning what not to do by experience, and putting it into action in your life is what i call wisdom. If you see someone doing something that leads them to experience something that you want no part of then learn from their mistakes as well. you should let your vision wonder and not only be limited to your life because you don't live in a world alone! this whle life thing is a slow dance of wisdom, i'm sure of it! think about it in a slow dance you have to feel your partner out and learn their tendencies and then you have to learn to love their tendencies, both the good and the bad. Never forget to take your time also because the only place living things are guranteed to go to is where dead things already are and that's the cold hard truth yall... i don't wanna take up any more of your time cause it's too precious but remember to take your time and enjoy the music while you slow dance.
