Quadron - Buster Keaton


im so in love with the concept of this video. though at first glance it may just appears as another "hip" video with neon hula hoops, quadron's -buster keaton video actually sheads light on the issue of how your expected to be seen and how your expected to see yourself when you live up to a standard; witty.

contemplative, jerk.genuine,unsatisfied


me in a nutshell.i can live with it,or try my best to change it.as i live each day i cant help but notice this clock ticking along with a voice whispering, noo.. screaming "malaika you gotta do something big" but what do you do when your most desired things seem so attainable, even if you have not attained it yet.when i try to think of something i could do that would possibly impress me i can come up with not one single thing.maybe, ive been spoiled. maybe, i was raised to believe that you can do anything you put your mind to and that nothing is out of reach,so now why bother.maybe i should be impressed by material possessions to feel some type of satisfaction. it just comes, too easily, not easy enough.if i say i want something, i get it, somehow..and when i do i cant say i expected it any other way.do i want to little? spoiled girl...lucky girl....intuitive girl..girl who is in the right place at the right time, right people in right place but never goes beyond the places. shes content there, im content here. with them fulfilling their goals,being the by standard, the cheerleader, the one saying "yes go ahead, you can do it, believe in yourself" because shes already so sure that anything can happen that she forget to pursue her.i never wanted to pursue anything for me.hurumphh..what do you do when your

biggest goal in life is just to be?

just a thought

afro punk festival

the 6th annual Afro Punk festival will be taking place this month at Commodore Barry Park on the 25th through 27th in Brooklyn, New York. This years lineup is possibly the biggest ever consisting of not only legendary group Bad Brains, but also The Bots, P.O.S., and a hometown favorite of mine The 54. I swore I would make it to Brooklyn specifically for the festival this year but luckily for the first time ever they will be making two other stops in the cities of Chicago and Atlanta!
stay tuned for dates and locations in those cities.
