RIP Michael Freeney

I wanted to share some news about some sad news I just learned. A young brother who was a bright and promising journalist just died. Michael Freeney age 32 was a brother who was just about to start his dream job.

He succumb to a illness that he had been fighting for a couple of days. This brother and I had several small conversations. We talked about race and sports. One thing that I got from him was that he was aware of the things around him. He loved to talk about WWE & professional sports. And, he put me on to the knowledge and videos when I did the article "Race in WWE & sports."

Although I did not get a chance to meet the brother in person, I feel a certain way knowing that I had conversation with him. I got a small view into another person's world and thought process. And now that person and thought process has gone to a different place.

Death is weird, it is strange.

But, all I can say is appreciate and support those when they are here. Don't wait until someone is gone then celebrate and express your support for someone. Appreciate that person when they are here.

RIP Michael Freeney

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...

Personal Finance for Black Males

I don't follow Kanye West on any social media outlet. I don't listen to any of Kanye West music, and when he become "Kanye West Kardishian", I really stopped listening to him. However, every since he was approaching his album release, he has been tweeting like a mad man. He has been trending non-stop on Twitter, and a lot of his tweets have been outrageous. However, one caught my attention and the attention of countless others. He stated in one of his tweets that he is "53 Million Dollars" in personal debt. Now, I think that Kanye is either a good actor or mentally insane. But, either way, if he owes 53 million dollars to anybody then this is beyond shameful. I heard that Kanye is begging Facebook's owner (Mark Zuckerberg) for money and is asking for people to pray for him. Now, I have zero sympathy for Kanye West. But, I do feel that he is not the same Kanye West that everyone respected. He is not the same Jesus Walks, Kanye. But, anyway this mad...
