The Last Hoofer on Earth.

Here is the man, the hoofer, the one and only Cartier Williams. My Washingtonian brother is doing it big. He's also my partner in making horror films. Now here he is with his first instructional tap dvd called HOOFING WITH THE BASICS.

What does hoofing mean? Hoofing is when you are dancing from the heart, made up right there on the spot. Think you can do it? To achieve a copy visit this link

This looks like a fucking picture made in Photoshop, it's a painting yall. So I had to post it twice #unbelievable

Ghubar Magazine.

Ghubar Magazine in my opinion should have been here. Personally I'm getting so tired of seeing what looks like dying white models with a certain "look" grace magazine covers and ad's. With fashion not really giving a fuck about black people. It is time now, that rather waiting for a torch to be passed we just make our own. Sarah Diouf the CEO and Creative Leader is the person that decided to make her own torch. Sarah if you follow my blog is the lovely girl in all black with the red lips and a smile that melts the hearts of evil men anywhere, under the title WERE HAVING BIG FUN.

I'm not one for too many words. It's BLACK, it's Bi Lingual (French and English) It just is.

I asked her what does GHUBAR mean? She simply just said "Of the dust".......nuff said.

Honestly I want just ONE issue that I can hold in my hand, it would be so cool, to carry it around like a large decorated folder. However the online publication of the magazine is just as effective.

And another thing before I exit, just because I say it's BLACK shouldn't exclude those that aren't black. But if you know about fashion then you know that fashion *ahem* (Vogue) is not fair to us.

Ghubar Magazine- Is the place where everybody can experience and enjoy online, worldwide fashion. -Sarah Diouf

When you compare yourself to someone else, you just might find great unhappiness

Section 8 Housing.

The video is even more insane than the picture, this is what we (not black people) but we as humans act when we have greed and gluttony in our systems. Shit Im just as poor as many of these people here, so it's not about class. Can you imagine if there gets to a point where we would be ever fighting for air? Do you see a line? I certainly don't, I just see a bunch of individuals some who I bet don't even need section 8 housing, they just want cheap rent. Honestly I can't blame them for wanting it, shit we all would like cheaper rent. Especially living in the bitten apple, where just about everything is expensive. But there should be a point were, someone should say, this is ridiculous.

What's sad is that it will be something that, I'm sure someone BLACK will say. "See this is why no one take us seriously, because we act like a bunch of niggers". No you and I or whomever reads this blog black or white, are not these people. You see the images and videos of Hurricane Katrina and now this, and some of you group us together. Those people in Atlanta and those in New Orleans are from Atlanta and New Orleans. They make up a very small percentage of "black" people in Amerikkka. Yes if you combine the 120,000 people from N.O. and the 30,000 from ATL you get 150,000 people that are black which is still a small percentage believe it or not.

This also shows why at times it can be dangerous living in Section 8 housing, because you have people that live around you like this. You drop a dollar and you'll have ten people fighting you for it. It has nothing to do with being poor, it's more about your mentality and who you really are. I live across the streets from the projects and back home in D.C. I live next to a section 8 house. What's sad is that these places seem to gravitate towards the most greedy individuals that I have ever seen. I've never in my life witnessed people that enjoy doing nothing but sitting out in front of my Apt complex. Drinking, smoking weed, and gossiping and these are mostly grown folks. Like your mother and grandmother and of course your young dudes too. You'd rather sit and collect welfare checks than really contribute to the world.

Like yall I've really had a conversation with someone who told me. That when they see a girl living in the projects with more than 5 kids, they see them as rich? Yes.....They see them as rich? I heard this once before when I was living in Philly, but I just thought dude was high and didn't know what he was talking about, but yeah this is how it is. The more kids you have the more money you get from the government. Meanwhile you have the struggling single person, that has major plans for themselves and their environment doing the best they can but can't get any work. Have to get denied for cash assistance because they don't have a "family"....this place sucks

The Year Was 1984 BITCH.

Lean on Me ain't got shit on Class of 1984, these kids in this movie were completely insane. The school is filled with drugs and prostitution and drugs, and murder and drugs. It even stars a very young Michael J. Fox before his Family Ties fame.

The movie is about a gang of very fashionable crazy insane bully's. That are terrorizing the school and the teachers, but get away with every thing because they aren't even 18 yet. Like a typical movie there is always one teacher, that comes to change the setting or "save the day". The movie is clearly a far fetched, but the dialogue is awesome, and the characters are very real.

There is a scene in the movie where Michael J. Fox and his friend, are in the bathroom. His friend Jimmy decides that he wants to buy some drugs and test it out before he buys. Yeah, so a couple of hours later he ends up on the flag pole and then leaps to his death.

The fashion in this film is fucking awesome, although these kids were crazy fucks. They all the craziest style ever. Like every scene there was a costume change, that was something that I appreciated it really kept my attention.

So check it out Class of 1984.

Rape, Weak, Avoid, Bully, Prey, Hell, Why, Monster, Cry, Hurt, God, Reason, Heaven.

About a month ago my very good friend Frances Bradley. Told me about a murder/rape that happened to a local waitress in Philadelphia at a bar called the PYT. Immediately I was upset and confused, I guess being raised by women and having many female friends. I can't imagine why a man would do such a thing. I wanted to know her race, what she did for a living, what kind of person she was. I wanted to make a quick conclusion, to why someone would do this to her. I've always been a firm believer in calling negative attention to yourself. So I just needed to know, what this girl did to bring such a negative energy to herself that would cost her, her life. Please don't take this post the wrong way, I'm not saying that it was her fault. The circumstances are just so dramatic that it just leaves me with a big question mark in my head. Like what was going on in the boy's head that he would do this? Oh yes this is an 18 year old boy by the way if you can't tell.

How do you go from, wanting to steal some one's bike. To raping her, beating her, and then strangling her with her own bra? With rapist and just many men in general, sex is about domination, the conquering of something that you felt you could never conquer before. We live in a place, where some people call this a man's world. We live in a place where acting like a girl is an insult. I don't have any male friends that are like this, because I'm a firm believer that we are all equal, and also you ARE WHO YOU HANG OUT WITH. I speak highly about this because I know that if this were to ever happen to someone that I love. I can tell you this people, I would lose my mind and comb the streets, hunt you down and take your life. I hate bully's, I hate people who try or do use their power for evil.

Philadelphia is an extreme place for the extreme of balance. Very beautiful and Very ugly. You can achieve so much there, and then lose it all at once. When I first moved there back in 2001, I had a dream that the devil had destroyed the city and everything was red. I knew I had to leave when the energy between me and other people had completely boiled over, and I was getting tired of those around me. My energy had been almost drained, I was losing my power.

Sabina only lived to be 20 years old. For me I want to live to be 126 that is my goal. So 20 is still basically an infant in my eyes. She lost her life because someone looked at her as weak, it brings sadness to my heart to have to type that. She was small and innocent looking, however I bet when he tried to take her bike, he was surprised that this small person more likely had a serious bite. Which enraged him and made him take things to the extreme.

I leave this post by telling all women this. The world that we live in makes it seem like you are weak individuals who need a man to help you throughout this rough life. That is a lie, you are just as strong, and just as smart and just as much the leader than the human with the penis. You are God's not Goddesses, but God's because you more than any man, truly understand life because you have the ability to grow it inside of you. Never give up and continue to fight, and never level yourself to a man. You are you and that is the greatest gift of all.....peace.

They Still Live.

So I know you guys are like is this a movie blog now? No, it's still the same way it used to be, were I talk about everything. I just like to post about films that open our minds a little and allow us to learn. So last month or so, I decided to rent a movie called They Live. Since I was little I've seen bits and pieces of this film, but never in it's entirety. As a 27 year old male that lives in one of the biggest rotten places on earth when it comes to consumerism and class. This film was dead on target for how and where I am living now. It deals with a man who finds these glasses that show him what really is going on in the world around him. For instances when he puts on these shades, instead of seeing an and that for example says MENTOS THE FRESH MAKER, he sees, BUY ME NOW, SPEND YOUR MONEY ON NOTHING.

I was so surprised at how relevant this film is today and it was made in the early 80's. Everywhere you walk around in NYC, you see ad's for something. You also probably encounter people that are rich or wealthy that seem to never have a issues. Although they do have issues, they have issues on another level. The problems that they can relate to you with can be easily fixed with money. But trust me these people have issues as well. What I loved about the film though, was that they portrayed rich and wealthy people as aliens. Who all knew each other and are apart of some weird recruitment to destroy the world and anyone that steps in their way.

I speak for myself when, I have to remind myself constantly that. I am right where I'm supposed to be in life. I wasn't supposed to have money at a young age or wealthy parents, or come from exuberant amounts of family money. Because sometimes when I see or hear about people who live in the Financial District, or live in Soho, or Tribeca and they aren't even 21 years old yet, and their parents are paying for it. Yea I get a little bit frustrated, but everything is how it is supposed to be. I'm getting a lil help yes, but nothing to the extent of those that I read about, or know through other people.
