Its spring break for many of my brothers in high school. The number one complaint I always get is I'm bored. Therefore, here are a couple of ideas and tips that you can do for spring break.


(1). Volunteer: This is a absolute great way to spend your time. Volunteering your time is a awesome way to give back and be a vessel for GOD'S Love. You can volunteer your time, by doing many things. Participating in alternative "Spring Breaks", cutting neighbors grass for free, or volunteering with a organization that you are already affiliated with like (Red Cross, Habitat for Humanities, and your local Church).


(2). Work: I learned one thing: you don't have time to say or feel bored when your actively working. Rather painting the deck or washing the family car; time flies by when you are taking care of business. Also, if you have a regular job (on weekends for example); spring break is a excellent time to pick up extra hours.


(3). Spend time with family: this may sound lame, but spending time with the family is a great. Rather taking a vacation or chilling on the sofa. Spend time with your family, because at the end of the day family is the only thing (other than GOD) that we have. Ideas for spending time with family: (1) playing board games, (2) shooting hoops with your little brother,  (3) having a Netflix marathon with the family, or (4) suck it up, and go to that Art museum that your Mom always wanted to go too.


(4). Challenge yourself and your mind: Rather you are working out or reading a book. This Spring Break use your time wisely and come back to school better than you were before.

RIP Mr. Dick Gregory

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...

FASFA

I try to explore different topics and ideas to discuss/share on the blog. While going through some papers and looking through some stuff, I remember that I forget to write about this topic. Therefore, today we are going to talk about FASFA. First, you may ask, "What is FASFA." FASFA is federal aid or money for going to college. Although they said "federal aid", it is basically tax that is set aside for students who want to go to college, but need money to help pay for college. FASFA is available to students who have need and are looking to attend college (certificate program, associate degree, or 4 year degree). You need to fill out FASFA every year. FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school. A simple summary is basically this: (1) Wait until you or parents file Income Tax (2) Go to this website- https://fafsa.ed.gov/ (3) Create a account (4) Fill out all of the informat...

Short Story of the Fatherless Black Male

I wrote this in the backseat of a car during a road trip. This post may have a couple of grammar errors and a couple of different ideas. But, this is how I truly felt. Let's get into it. I can't sugar-coat it or make it seem insignificant. Point blank, being a young black male without a father sucks. It worse than the stench of rotten eggs, and it feels worse than being hit by a truck at high speed. Being a fatherless male is like having half of your self taken away at birth. Being a father black male means going through life without a round-the-clock mentor, a disciplinary, a friend, a dad. I mean having a mom is a blessing within itself. Most fatherless males usually have a mom. However, if it took two to create, then it is best to take two to mold and build. And, let's be honest, it's some questions no dude feels comfortable or feels right asking their mom. That is just one of the reason why not having a father sucks. At the very least, it is a inconvenien...
