Sooo happy birthday
Alright so this right here goes out to my homie Vedette
So today you turned 22,
Damn you old, remember when we was young and I was scared of you
I don’t know why, cuz I’ve always been like twice your size
But oddly enough I was terrified
Petrified, cuz you was a big kid
Somehow we became friends
I could laugh for days about stupid shit that we did
Remember when you would braid my hair and the time that I broke that chair
And how I probably always got on your nerves and you never seemed to care
And when Jill Scott’s “Golden” played non-stop and I couldn’t stand it
And how when I got out of line you reprimanded
Or like them times when I didn’t have school and my mom sent me to you,
Yea, those times were cool
Even though I was too old to be needing a babysitter
But you know how she is, can’t nobody reckon with her
And I still remember the time
When you gave me some nasty wine
Or my 16th birthday party,
When we was all acting retarded
We was all youthful
I miss being young to be truthful
But this is how life goes
What comes next? Only lord knows
You’re all grown now making moves and it shows
Destined to be a lawyer, gonna be nice with the prose
Wasn’t talking professiona,l but you’ll be that too
Meant prose as in contextual,
The language you’ll use
I hope you know you got my vote
Remember to always match your outfit with the briefcase you tote
Cuz you don’t want to be tacky
Always stay super clean, and I’ll be happy
I guess I’m saying I’m proud of you nonetheless
As you continue to progress, stay blessed
These words come from the left of my chest,
Since you wanted to put my skills to test,
I wrote this by your request,
And well you know the rest,
It’s getting kinda emotional,
Not me, but you know you smiling hard and all
But I was just doing my part,
Wishing you a happy birthday from the bottom of my heart.
Happy Birthday lady! HAHA
PS. Get ya life together and stop seducing men with that purple sweater, oops I mean shirt, alright I’m done I’m going to watch devil wears prada now cuz my fingers starting to hurt. That’s All.
Weekend?...Ef that...
I haven't been in the mood to go out anyway, I think I might be obssessed with my notebook, and blogging and reading peoples comments, shit..im going to vomit, kinda random like a comet...see here I go. Chill Chelz, pause.
I do this ALL the time..lol idk why, but it's been more evident recently.
These things just come to me kinda like this did tonight randomly...I just get these lines in my head... i guess it's how i felt at the time...
Feeling kinda nostalgic, god damnit you called it,
but it could just be the effects of this chronic
or maybe this vodka tonic
cuz like I'm not missing home,
but I am reminiscing the days when I wasn't alone.
Uhm..considering I'm not tired...and it's crazy late and no ones up now or everyones up and out and about, I'm chillen doing this.
It's my homegirls birthday; i wrote her a poem, by request lol. but i'm not putting it up here, unless she wants me too..shout out to her.
Valentines day coming up...hmmm..i've legit never had an actual valentine..the holiday doesn't really phase me. My favorite color is red though, so I guess I dig that part of it.
Yoo check these haiku I wrote
I never wrote any before so maybe they're corny but whatever shout out so Megson for giving me the up and up...
Here's 1... untitled of course..isn't everything i write untitled..i should change that..lol
whispers in large crowds
small spaces and deep cries for help
they go overlooked
and here's 2..also untitled
locked eyes and blue skies
intertwined minds kissing deep
they day wastes away
So those were some haiku...
I'm still working on this whole flowing from the dome type thing, aka freestyling...I'm getting better..lol catch me soon, so stay tuned....
-Mszedukated...signing off.

Whoa..Drake is definitely a beast. Trey Songz too.
In my opinion though, they definitely rocked this Ron Browz track...
Caught me slippin...NOT
Alright so it seems like I've been neglecting this blog, but that's not really the case, yall know I have 2 right? One's via a class that I'm taking at school, Hip Hop Theatre 196 Act Like You know, so I have frequent additions to that. I made this one just in case I might by chance, have something deemed obscene or innappropriate, not that I forecast such things, but you know stuff happens and something crazy might happen and I might not like it so much and just black about it to make myself feel better, some people might not want to read that from class so it'd be here.
I've been writing a lot of stuff on the other blog so check that out if you haven't already. I encourage you to continue doing so, if you have already.
So I've always kind of been a poet, writer/spoken word artist on the low. I'm attempting to break out of the on the low part as well as try new things. So I'm kind of working on my freestyle game right now straight from the dome as well as written ones. That's still freestyling right? I wrote it right then pretty cohesively..oh well if its not it is to me, everybody can't do it. lol.
Please, Please, Please check out this dude Charles Hamilton. He's really someone to watch check out Drake too aka Aubrey Graham aka Jimmy the wheelchair kid from 'Degrassi', yes I watched that show faithfully. They're both some good lyricists with some unique flows.

Hot Grafh Track- Yes We Can

Make No Mistakes...
my tag, my "claim to fame" name, alter ego, etc..etc..take your pick.
Allow me to explain/clarify any misconceptions, wrong perceptions, or apparent slight deceptions of the quality education I'm receiving using mispelled words all willy-nilly.
It's a run on words.
First miseducate means by definition, "To educate improperly"(Dictionary.com)
Educate by definition is "characterized by or displaying qualities of culture and learning", "based on some information or experience", or "having undergone education". (Dictionary.com)
MIS-a prefix, means "wrong, wrongly or bad, badly,"
So here's how it applies:
I like to look at myself as a well-educated young lady, cultured, with the abition to learn further. BUT, I utilize the "Mis-" because sometimes I feel like I learned it differently than the rest, or maybe I learned it in a some what illegitimate fashion, whereso one might consider it bad or wrong. This applies to a multitude of things, not necessarily textbook knowledge, but life lessons as well. I punned the Msz. Of this "Mis" as my title. Coming from the south I was always taught to "Put a title before that" by way of my grandma. So it's really Ms. Educated, but keepin it funky it's Msz. EdukateD; contradictory I know. Deal with it.
You might hear me say Msz.Edukated Not to be confused with misinformed. Because i learned it but I learned it different, misinformed to me means I learned it wrong completely, almost as if I didn't learn it at all.

So Basically
I don't make regrets, but sometimes I wish I hadn't done what I did.
I understand thoroughly, but proceed to act in a manner of which I utterly misunderstand.
I do what I want.
Because ultimately no one contests me and I know that I can.
And I know I am destined to be something great.
It's up to me which path I take.
I could take the one less travelled,
the curvy windy one, laced with gravel and learn my way by working through it
or I could take the smooth one, and be just as dumb as when i started.
I kind of like life on edge, so i do it my way I go off-roading, through the hedges.
