What Are You Thankful For

Y'all already know I'm a real one, I am posting on Thanksgiving as the sides are currently being fixed. This couch I'm sitting on is soft and surprisingly the Wifi is good, so I'm good.


Anyway, My Brothers, I wanted to talk to you about life. Although, today is a holiday, it is also a day of remembrance for our Native American (extended family) who give Us this tradition. So, I want to talk to y'all about the importance of this holiday. This year as you sit back and eat good food, I want you to think about what is it that you truly cherish. And, how you have transformed these past eleven months.


Life is so crazy that at the end of the day, just to be breathing is a gift within itself. Therefore, no matter how your life is (good or bad), you have something to be thankful for. The blind man can be happy he has hearing. The poor man can be happy he has sight. And, the Young Brother can be happy he is still alive in a society that says he will not see his 18th birthday.


See being thankful for videos game and tennis shoes is okay, however being truly thankful is something that is far from materiel things. Therefore, I ask you: What are you thank for?


Personally, I am thankful for family. I am thankful that GOD has opened my eyes and has given me a aware mind, because there was a time where I wasn't woke. I am thankful that I am not a hashtag. I am even thankful for all the challenges that have come in my life. Because, I truly know that if they were past obstacles, I have previously beat those odds/obstacles to be talking to you on this Turkey Day.


In closing, short and simple. Take time today to Thank GOD for the important things in life. Eat, get some R&R, participate in #BoycottBlackFriday, and recharge so you can continue fighting the GOOD FIGHT with me!!!


With a hungry stomach, but most importantly a constantly hungry WILL to learn. Happy Holidays and Happy Thanksgiving,


The Brown Brother


PS: A special and sincere Thank YOU to all the men and women who have served as well as are actively serving. Thank You for everything this Thanksgiving.

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...

Hi, my Brothers; I have not posted anything in a couple of days. I was going to write about something different today. However, I saw this video and I had to share it. The anger and outrage I have can not be calculated because this video is too outrageous to believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJhIN0gUN30 The video link above will direct you to Youtube. Where it shows a video of four Young Brothers being harassed and thrown out of Walmart. It further shows one of the Young Brothers being arrested. They were not harassed and then arrested for Robbery or Theft; but for "JUST HANGING OUT AND SHOPPING TOO SLOW." Yes you heard me, for going to slow in the store. Now this I can't believe. Maybe something else will come out and show otherwise. However, if this was the Young Brothers only "behavior"; then this arrest and event is truly hard to believe. For anyone who has ever grown up in any city in the world, you know summer are boring. Now, ...
