Well its starting to freeze outside so you can see your exhaust out your tailpipes and stuff.
But when I turned off my car I went and just happened to look at my exhaust. Even up to now (1 minute after I shut it off) I can still see exhaust/smoke coming out. But it isn't really heavy, it looks like when someone takes a liter and lights paper on fire - there isn't too much smoke. It looks the same color as normal exhaust too.
Is this normal and I just never released it before or is something possibly burning in there???

Dude, dont start your car up again. If it smokes like that, and your car is running too lean on a/f ratio. Then your car combust causing some major ring and piston damage. Then you would have to replace your head and buy new cam gears. Dont take the chance, an exhaust leak is nothin to kid around about. take it very seriously, or YOULL BE SORRY!

Alright,
So who do I believe??
I'm guessing the first guy sounds right with moisture on the tip, usually I do get moisture dripping off it and it looked like steam.
