. BREAUX BEFORE HEAUX
"Britney. DO NOT. Mess this up for US." Those are what my big brother would like to call "words of wisdom". They come in any conversation before an audition, a big move, and even a date (He knows I will hire and fire a brotha in the same week).
Having a sibling is awesome. If you follow me on any social media networks, you can tell from my pictures that I`m a very family oriented person. Although my brother and I are seven years apart, it`s never really felt that way. Accept for that one time he told on me for writing "Britney A. Douglas" on the armrest in my mom`s car. Yes, I know it said MY name but you didn't have to tell her. Worst whooping of my life. Someone once asked us, at what point did we grow close. I didn't have an answer because we have always been close. We fought like Ike and Tina back in the day though. I was Ike.
He`s always down to come get me out of the shenanigans that I seem to find myself in, i.e, moving to L.A. with a roommate named Cockroach, moving me out of my Chicago apartment that was broken into, carrying a suitcase full of groceries on the mega bus and hooking up every single T.V that I've ever owned. I promise it wasn't for a "Netflix and chill" session. I don't even have a Netflix account.
It`s easier to get through life after you've watched someone go through it for you. Like, now I know that I probably only want one kid. He be looking hella tired with all of those kids. If I ever feel the need to have more than one, I`ll invite my nieces and nephews over. Problem solved.
I loved when his friends came over. And y'all know I`m not talking about his lil home girls either. I know he`s probably going to hate this part of the blog but maybe he should stop having sexy friends. The high school friends, the ones he would bring home from college, the ones from back in the day, the ones he just met, hell, even the dudes that model for his clothing line. I`m like, "Damn Shawn, can I play with your friends?". I know at least half of them are single. But I get it, he doesn't want to have to bust a cap if one of y'all decide to act up. Still call me though. He ain't gotta know until we get married.
You can thank him for helping to get Aintbritfunny up and running. I watched him create and develop his very own website for this clothing line and build his brand over the years. I don't make clothes or do any type of design but I was truly inspired by his hustle and I still am. Now, I have to figure out how to start getting money from my craft like he does. Y'all ready to start paying for Aintbritfunny yet? Oh I`m not famous enough? I hate y'all. Still go and check out his site theherobrand.com though. We got to get some money in this family one way or another!
Yes, I just plugged my brother.
