                                       " School Back Series Part II: Style/Clothes (1/2) "




Now, before I get started; clothes don't make the man. However, a good first impression and a good constant impression (lifetime constant) is extremely valuable. As school is about to start back, or it may have already started back for you; you have a obligation to put your best self forward. Doing every thing you can to succeed. Not only in appearance, behavior, and study hard; but also even doing the small stuff that many forget to watch for (pay attention to detail).




Anyway, if you are like me and you don't like to spend a lot on clothes; then looking good/great impressions can be hard at times. Therefore, I will give you some tips and hacks about how to look your best while staying on a budget.




1. Button up & polo shirts- These two items are by far my favorite article of clothing. The diversity and leverage that comes with are "casual shirts" (bing.com image search) are incredible. You can wear casual shirts with casual pants, jeans, joggers, shirts or whatever and can still make the outfit like clean. Wearing a casual shirt will help make you or any fit not look lazy or unplanned.


 


2. Shoes- Shoes back in the day were made for protective foot armour. However, shoes have grew into a billion dollar business and shoes at times people judge you based on what's on their feet. Shoes should be a refection of you, however shoes should not be a most expensive article of clothing you have on. You should have a variety of shoes in your closet. Most Young Brother worry about Tennis Shoes or Jordans the most. However, Jordans are not going to get you the internship or the silent respect of a teacher. Now, tennis shoes/sneakers are great. However, you need a variety of shoes. Every Brother should have about five pairs of shoes in their closet. You should have equal or more causal shoes than sneakers. Further, tennis shoes should not be your most expensive shoe (the most expensive tennis shoe I have in my closet is a $30.00 Ross Clearance Nike). Shows that will save you money and that you can wear with a multitude of outfits.





   



3. Dress Shoes- Dress you will probably not be wear very often at your school (if you attend middle or high-school). However, throwing a dress shoe in there every now and again will without a doubt set you apart from the pack. Mix a dress shoe in with jeans for the right touch of young, but classic (remember "Your A Classic Man." Dress the part with your own flash of youthful style).

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.

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...
