December- First of the Month

Hey, how y'all been doing?


I pray that each of y'all are having a great week. Anyway, just like the beginning of every month, I will be discussing this month's overview.


On the list for today is


-The Brown Brother "Book of the Month"
- Word of the Month"
- Also, I want to share some personal thoughts that I have with you.
-Last, I want to give a update about where I am right now in life.




Let's get started!!!


This month's Brown Brother B.O.T.M is "Black Faces in White Places" by: Randal Pinkett and Jeffrey Robinson





I picked this book up at the library last week. I have yet to begin to read it, but I hope it is a good book. The book basically states that it highlight "10 Game-Changing Strategies to Achieve Success and Find Greatness."


We all can use success and greatness right now, so I think it may be a decent pickup.


.......................................................................................................................................................


Second, let's get into the Word of The Month!!!


Today's word is


di·gress
[dīˈɡres]

VERB

  1. leave the main subject temporarily in speech or writing:
    "I have digressed a little from my original plan"
    synonyms: deviate · go off on a tangent · get off the subject ·
    get sidetracked · lose the thread · turn aside/away · depart · drift · stray · wander
Allow me to use this in a sentence.

" Before I continue to move into the closing statements of this lesson,  I want to digress and talk about what I personally think about the current state of the Black Man." 

..............................................................................................................................................................
(Motivation)

Today, I want to do something different. I want to talk about what we can do to make ourselves better. The current state of the Black Man is personally not where I want it to be. Therefore, we as Brothers must continue to raise to the occasion and be the leaders that GOD called Us to be (Father, Husband, Brother, Friend, Son).

Everyday, we must get up with the mindset that we will make ourselves as well as those around Us a little better.

We must continue to strive for excellence and continue to not settle for anything less than what our full potential can achieve.

- The Brown Brother

...........................................................................................................................................................

Last, I want to talk about what has been personally happening in my life. I got some ideas to bounce around and some decisions to make.

If you follow me on Twitter, you will see that I tweeted that almost all my pictures on here were deleted. If you go to any of my old posts, you will see a gray picture of a camera with a cross out sign on it. Now, I am no computer genius, however I know that means google/blogger has deleted my pictures. The pictures are not even visible to me.

This can only be the work of "others." I guess this unhanded work can only be attributed to the fact that this blog page this been growing non-stop. We ( I say we because we all are a part of this) now have people viewing this page from as far as Canada, Africa, and UK. We are growing all over. Anyway, they are trying to discourage and harden the impact of this page.

Visual aids are one of the few reasons I believe that is blog is doing so well. I personally, believe that we are better learners when we can see something.  A picture is worth a thousand words.

Well, I making this post to long, so I will make the update a post within itself.

Closing, I hope that everyone has a blessed and safe Christmas and #NotOneDime.

Sincerely,

The Brown 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...
