"creative" is a word often used to describe me. my creativity is apparent in every aspect of me. some ways i express my creativity are to - write, blog, dance, draw, rap, do a little interior decorating, cook, manipulate images with GIMP, design graphics for the web, create cell phone wallpapers, dabble with web pages, photography, nail art, and i also love karaoke. i've decided to use soundclick as an arena to share some of my pieces and flows.

Lyrics

A Birthday Poem


Today marks you making another trip 
around the sun.
And tis true that time flies even faster now
than it did when you were one.
If time were in fractions, one part of ten would be a lot larger
than one out of a hundred.
Another truth Ive learned is that no one  knows for sure
what happens once youre dead.
Not to be sounding morbid on your day and all,
but this too is a fact of life.
As is:bad  weather, bad hair-days,
and other stress and strife.
On my day , I often think, 
What exactly is Gods plan?
Every woman has a different lesson, 
and so does every man.
I guess that should explain
why we all travel different paths.
I know one thing - Life is a trip!
But Im told  this too shall pass.
Life is death  without adventure 
I heard one artist say.
when you reflect,
 they say youll regret,
If its  all work  and no play.
today  is your birthday,
And I really hope that it is happy.
Wild E Coyote bought everything
from a company called Acme.
Did I make you laugh?  I hope so
cause this poems running long.
So enjoy your day, cause Ive heard some say,
You dont know what youve got till its gone.
Enjoy yourself!  But please,
all things in moderation.
Im ending this here with some lines
sung at every birthday celebration - 
if Id sing, Id sing it loud and off,
Like I usually do.
Happy Birthday Dear (insert your name here)
Happy Birthday to you!
