Brownsville Area Has NO Drinking Bars/No Irish Pub...

HA! HA! its funny because I wouldn't trust a Irish Pub or any kind of drinking bar in Brownsville neither its still too ghetto and it could get violent with the type of people still living the area of 11212, they're liquor stores for those who are alcoholics. I don't drink anymore the last time I remember drinking was in my mid 20's but thank God I stop even though it was rarely when I drink I still don't want to see myself drinking anymore. I don't think Brownsville Brooklyn, New York is a place to hang out and drink, I know I wouldn't. God knows what their is for Brownsville 11212 maybe it would change in the future but I doubt it because of the projects within this area code. It's the people who have to either change or get the fuck out and let those who want to live in a peaceful environment without gangs and drugs. I should also blame the certain rap music and certain rap videos these type of people listen to, I don't listen to that type of garbage and its annoying when I hear it being blasted loud in the streets. Sigh, I wish I could leave 11212 and afford a better environment for my family...

Just A High School Diploma

Their should be more created jobs for people in New York City for High School Diplomas and another thing is what is it with that their won't be enough job opportunity for people who graduated with a College Degree, that's the kind of city we're living in. I don't deny a college education but why all these advertisement of going to college so that you may have a better future when there is barely jobs available for those who did graduated from college. That's what you call brain washing people so that these colleges would make money off of you, it makes me mad, I just need to find better reason why I should go to college than just had some college advertised for their benefit in making money. I didn't finish college I actually flunk but at the same time I really didn't know what I wanted to study back then, I wasn't interested. 

Now that I'm close to my 40's I have so much in mind, things I want to learn about. So without thinking about going to college I study on my own pace the things that I would like to achieve learning, how can I profit from my work or just sharing my ideas. Books, books their are lots of subject to read or study on, about what interest me and how it make me feel good about myself, because of books. For example I read on geology and I wanted to have it be my hobby the problem is I live in New York City, that could be ironic, right? but its interesting. I just think that people should go to college because there interested not because the media tells you to. I can study on my own without having to be rush through things. I'm like the turtle I have to be patient with my studies so that I can understand what I'm learning. 

I honestly don't know were this is going (my blog post) but I'm just a man with a High School Diploma and I can only afford what it brings me financially. But it doesn't stop me from craving books and wanting to know more, I've heard that no one can teach better then the way you teach yourself, self education. Yikes I also redeeming my self with ELA Reading and Writing plus Math, how many people can say they remember if they're smarter then a fifth grader. We forget and that's no good so I should relearn.

Co Op Buildings in Brownsville Brooklyn, New York

I'm surprised that now they're new Co-Op building in Brownsville Brooklyn, New York area zip code 11212, which is a really tough neighborhood mostly 85% black people and the rest Latinos or others. I just hope that these Co-Op buildings will bring better type of people here to live in this type of area, what I mean is achievers people who are actually doing something with there life and not into the streets hanging out with the wrong crowd. There is at least seven new building that were made in were I live in Brownsville Brooklyn, New York and Co-Op buildings are pretty expensive to afford so likely these type of individuals living in them should be legit people doing something with there life being able to afford such an apartment, I hope. I say these things because I just want to live in an environment where its no longer ghetto because of the people, due to drugs and violence or gangs. Things could change in the future for Brownsville area 11212, I pray. The only people that I would get along with are the elderly's and some of the youngster who are not participating in the streets doing the wrong things. I honestly can't see myself leaving Brownsville because I probably can't afford anywhere else, especially leaving out of H.O.U.S.I.N.G projects. But I'm happy to see that Co-Op buildings has been made in Brownsville area because I would like to see a change in the type of people living in this area code 11212...
