                                                          " Back to the Basics "




Hi, What up My Brothers? I hope you guys are enjoying your Saturday or whatever day you read this. Anyway, I want to talk about something. Today, I want to talk about going back to the basics. Now, before you say what? The past was lame or stupid. No, I not talking about going back into the past. But, going back to the basics of things that brought Us as a people success.


Now, let's go back to the basics.




The basics meaning actually living to support each other, not being so crazy about money, and actually respecting women. What has happened to Us in such a little period of time? Has the system corrupted Us so much that we have left behind every value and moral we had.?


The reason why I bring this up is probably because of a recent trip to the mall. Now, I already don't like the mall; but I began to see society once again from a different set of eyes. I saw brainless zombies just walking with no purpose, language that should never be used in front of women, and another even bigger set of zombies mindlessly tapping or texting on their phone.




As I walked around to precisely and with purpose go buy what I needed; I understand what the mall stand for (A building of capitalism filled with items made from the blood, sweat, and tears of the poor for sale to those who are working hard just to be able to afford a few of this items that society has tricked us into believing will upgrade personal value or the opposite "hide personal flaws.")


As I continued to walk around; I saw life as I know it now.  I saw that we have left the very basics of ourselves in the trash cans. We have left from courtship and chivalry to a total lack of manners. We have left family dinners and regular human interaction to now ignoring the person next to you for the love of a phone that you will waste money upgrading in a few months. Even greater than that we have left unity, organization, as well as peace for  hate/mistrust/mistreatment. We have left loving, living, and enjoying the very breathe of life. Everything is either superficial, unsatisfactory, or unfulfilling. I position this question to you. Why is life like this or why do you feel this feeling I have just described?




I'm going to answer for you.




It is because, we have left the Basics of Life behind. We have replaced necessities with wants, needs with earthly pleasure, and now we replace love with a superficial as well as artificial substitute. And, believe me this is not me calling anybody out or writing some stupid rant; this is just your Brother telling you that life is too short to be acting the way we acting. Life is too precious to be living the way we living.




We need to start loving again, start uniting as a People again, start striving for excellence and not for just expensive things. We need to go back to the basics.




That's all I'm really trying to say. Therefore, as you finish the rest of your Saturday (or Monday or whatever day) please heed my words. Go back to the basics of life. Start taking things one day at a time, don't let the "system" distract you, and don't let anyone not even yourself pimp "YOU" out.


Love Yourself and Love Others, Protect Yourself and Protect Others, and lets Unite as One.




As always I love Y'all,


Let's live Basic, but never be Basic.




Sincerely,



Your Brother.

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...
