T.I. sat down with Sonia Murray of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution for his first interview since his arrest for firearms charges back in October. He pleaded guilty last month to buying machine guns and silencers and is facing an expected 366 day prison sentence as well as 1,000-plus hours of community service. 

In the interview, T.I. seems very introspective and suprisingly positive about the whole situation. He talks about still feeling "blessed", dealing with house arrest, being a family man, upcoming music projects (including a song with Amy Winehouse), different business ventures, and his hollywood career. When reflecting on the night of his arrest and the circumstances leading up to it T.I. admits "I know I brought it on myself".
