What I learned during this first month of 2016

I know everyone and they momma went crazy over this "New Year, New Me" thing. And, although I did not feed into this kind of mindset, I do believe in personal growth and development during time. That is why I thought it would be good to basically track my personal progress through the year.

That is why, now starting at the end of every month, I will be highlighting what I did and my personal progress. As a result, I hope that each of you will do the same.

For me, this month was full with getting back into a rhyme. Getting back into school, work, and just trying to get away from the procrastinating and aggravating holidays. Don't get me wrong, the holidays were good. However, I work best in I am constantly in a rhyme.

Second, this month has taught me to be more aggressive. I said that during the beginning of the year, I would start YouTube. I kind of got off that train. But, now I know that social media and YouTube is may best bet.

Last, I learned to not take a second for granted. My job as The Brown Brother is to be the best I can be. To put out more content and keep pushing. Therefore, even if it's a three or four paragraph post just talking about success or me giving links to a video online, nothing is too small or minor.

If the information can help someone, then that is information that I need to spread on here. Well, that is what this month has taught me. I hope that y'all learned some lessons during this year.

Peace,

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...
