December 28th:Odd out

As a designer and a participant of the wallet, there are some things that are distrubing to see. Take for example: people with large words on their shirt. I’ve done a couple of items like this but I have not walked next to someone with as large letters on their shirt as well nor a little kid with words on their shirt. People this looks a mess! If your entire family is asking a question as you walk and the kid is answering of course people are going to stare. The guy’s shirt said WHY? The girls shirt said HOT PINK? The little kid’s shirt said TROUBLE APPROACHING. This just makes me feel like a comedian and an __hole. I just want to go up to them and ask why not blue leaving? Is Pink the new Black again? or Even got milk yet?

Second, I went to White Castle. Right? We all like the WC but I was torn. WC or monday night BW3′s wing special. I just went for the WC. Figured I go inside because hey, I didn’t have much to do that night. I can talk with someone. I walked in the building an immediately just started looking at the menu. The older lady behind the counter asked, Can I help you? Never looked at her. Umm, one moment. I’ve never had the fish how is that? She said, I eat it all the time. I asked with or without the cheese. She said the cheese is the best part. I looked down ready to order. She was missing all her teeth except the one on the right and the three down below.        You know what? I changed my mind.

Lastly, I’m not a small girl. If you’ve seen me I’m about a women’s 16, attractive, short hair, smart, clever, eccentric etc. No shame in my game. I am also pretty round. Thank you, thank you.

(clears voice) What I mean to say is that somethings that are not fittable I can not wear. Case is point. Exhibit A. Survey says a wreck. I can’t wear a top thats meant for a medium if I’m a xlarge. The buttons are your tell tell sign that its too small. If the buttons are smiling because of the shirt gapping; gone ahead and get that next size up! Second Exhibit B: . Hmmm, this is a case of “…but I love that  shirt.” Some things are meant to end or not be eaten. This is an example of a “bella-fhat girl”. Where she creates a hat from fat hanging out of her shirt. Its not acceptable. Walmart had scarfs on sell that will compliment nicely.

December 26th: Giftmas and a $20

Unwrapped and Unraveled:

So the big day is over. Wooo Hooo! Now you have to clean up, take out the trash, restore your funds from depletion, go back to holding next giftmas over your kids heads, and carry on with the real version of life. A little jaded aren’t I? Yes, I am. I admit it. I got off that superficial nice once a year giftmas train about two years ago. Doesn’t mean I’m better, non-christian, or happier. I just don’t want to subscribe into the “niceness” of one day.

Most people don’t want to say it but some of these kids are rotten. There are new and more cruel versions of mean in the schools. Some of these kids are like sleeper spys waiting for destruction. Kids are growing into basically the Top 40 and their parents are supporting it. They can recite that wacka flacka guy or lil wayne but dont’ know the Lord’s Prayer. Their version of the bible was “The Passion of Christ” with Mel Gibson. Come on now. When December becomes a race to have funds to buy toys and what gadget I’ll get to stay hip, I’d rather uplug and keep my $20.

Fashion Progress:

December is always a slow month for my company. It is. Doesn’t matter how low you discount clothes, its just not as desireable. I’m not afraid to admit that. This monthI made a few new projects: a plus size shirt, a jacket, a hat, and a new messenger bag. I’ll have pics up shortly. I haven’t mastered everything there is to sewing or making women tops that are more form fitting. This is my goal in 2011 but I’m going to continue to try.

As mentioned prior the 2011 year will be full of more social events to broaden the company and also network with others. I’ll be expanding my line to include children’s clothing, soft ringspun items, and of course more comfortable shirts and polos. G. Ingles will have a meet and greet the 3rd week of January, check out the events page. If you find yourself wanting to turn a new leaf for having clean, honest, positive, and progressive fun with genuine indivisuals consider joining me in the new year at one of my events.

Tough Resolutions:

Here’s my new years resolution. You have yours and I’d like you to share.  1st I can be played  for the fool once, but twice…not so much. I am not going to allow repeat offenders to stay in my life. We all have a pair of these people.    2nd If you’re not offering anything positive for yourself or out of your mouth, just shut up! I’ll be here to remind you.         3rd Don’t do things that you have to apologize for.           4th If I throw the first stone, I should expect other stones to come my way. So be careful what you say and to whom you say it.       5th The public doesn’t deserve to know everything about you, your homelife should stay at home.

December 16th: You belong here

“OMG is this ______ serious?” Was she?  Because she blew my mind with high level of stupidity and irreversible ignorance that radiated from her mouth. Urban, right? What do you think of lower class, african american, black, hood, ghetto, disadvantaged, class-less,  the N word. What about Brown? I think of Crayola, lol. Seriously, maybe middle, brown noser, not quiet dark but carmel complexed, fair skin, and barley. My illustration is this, whether you are born and raised in an urban area or the lush woods of Hampton you can choose how you behave, how you present yourself, and how you act. Even people with an native accent can learn to structure there voice so that it doesn’t protrude as much. However, people that love to cave in to the mentality that ignorance and rudeness is “just who I am” deserve to be a the bottom, last in line, and passed over. 

Here’s my vent: Greyhound Desk Agents.  Nick name the dirty dog. So, I’m not Kenneth Cole or Ralph Lauren yet. I still have an occupation. Yup, still work for the man. Therefore, I look for deals. Current deal on deck, Chicago for New Years. Only problem being is how to get there. So, you know the internet, out plethora of information recommends megabus. Ok, $1! I think I can swing that. Problem one, the site is down. Ok, priceline….doesn’t book buses. Anything to escape driving and the dirty dog. Amtrak, cheap to go in red eye morning but a price hike to go round trip. So here, I am back at the New and Improved, dirty dog Greyhound.

The site said tickets to chicago express for $20. Hell, sign me up!

Oh, site unavailable make changes and resubmit. Ooooo, tickets for $50! Omg, sign me up. Selection Invalid try again. Ok…

Two tickets for $75 bucks. Ok, where’s my wallet…check! Internet Explorer error, it appears your computer is not connected to the internet. Some people would think Karma ah? Not yet, you sign catchers, I’m trying again. I call the agent very nice but she just arrived in the country. What is she saying? Second call, clearly a foreign guy that got hung up on the previous call. Dude take a ten! Ok so, I’m in the area, I stop by the terminal. Why did I do that? G. Ingles, what were you thinking?

 I got Ms.( that’s right never gonna be married, bad scar on urban, don’t no man or woman wont you keep slanging that broke spanish agent A) code name _____. I might as well been the luggage tag on the counter because she gave me no attention. Standing there in this defiled excuse for a terminal. I tell her I want two tickets for 12/30 going to chicago on the New Express buses. She says we aint got no 12:30′s leaving tonight get on the 12:50, sweetie. Sweetie, don’t let the maybeline fool you lady, I’m pissed off. I say, No, I want the date 12/30 leaving and arriving 1/1 bus to and from Chicago. Puts me hold, tells her baby’s daddy mike not to forget to to wake Arizona because he’ll wet the bed. Are you kidding me? Again, hey can I have you attention? I need two bus tickets. She says I’m not listening there’s only a 12:50 but you can go online and see if there is a 12:30 but I’ll tell you like this hunny, there aint one so don’t waste your time. One word I think _____. Ok, brown girl gloves off. Hey lady, my name is not sweetie, further more between Mike waking Arizona and you needing a jump for your dead car battery; I’ve been standing here for nothing. I don’t want a time of 12:30. I want a date. December 30th. Could you spare him and me and the growing line a few minutes of your employer paid time and just answer the question? Oh,,,,,, you mean December 30th right?

Im so done. You belong here.

“Why?” she asked. Why would you
have me do that? Does it not feel
good. Lost and bewildered Sirah
pushes him off. I just can’t I’m really
trying but I just can’t.

I don’t understand what’s wrong? You
love me and I love you. I have waited
eleven years to be where I am right
now. My heart is a runaway train
plunging 88mph and all I can feel is
myself being lost in the chaos. Tell me
that you feel this too. Tell me that you
want me as much as I want you. I would
wait for you til my sight was lost and my
hearing mute if you just tell me that
you love me. Don’t you feel this too?

I do Pierre. I do but-
There are no buts! The wine falls over.
They both rush to clean it up. How can
there be? He eyes her moments
cautiously. The but is there is
someone else. He stops cleaning
There has always been someone else
hasn’t there?

You are exaggerating and you have no
proof.
Then please explain to me how you
can claw at my back, ask me to go
deeper, and whisper its mine if it isn’t.
Was I just a lay to you? Was I just
around and available?

No, no, its not that. Pierre, you are-
there is a knock on the door. Sirah
quickly exits…To her surprise she can’t
believe who is at the door.

I’ve missed you…

I won’t leave you in the dark but  I can’t tell all the secrets yet. I
have finished my play to be launched 1st quarter of next year.
It’ll be cute, sexy, gritty, lively, and as always original…so stay

tuned!

December 14th: Needed a Break

www.ginglesdirect.com

 So this is day one of the G. Ingles Designer’s Vault. This is my own personal location where I can hangout with my ideas, my thoughts, my momentum, and everything else that I can come up with. I have or shall I say had a blog embedded in the site www.ginglesdirect.com but then Frank turned me on to this program that will keep my blog site going for me and that it’s much easier. So here I am. Taking a much needed sick break( according to what I told my Employer) .

I should be at work right now. Am I? Hell no.

That’s right, for purposes of having some kind of personal life and class I won’t say what my occupation is so for the purpose of this blog lets call it the wallet.  Ok do you have that? Because I’m going to refer to the wallet a time or two and you need to be on board. Got it?

Now the wallet can be an amazing opportunity to do more, grow, and be all that you can be. Or at least that’s what sallie mae expect, repayment. But sometimes the wallet is an everyday rape session. Interaction after request, after action, after complaint. You feel like sometimes “why me”. And then “Is there no end”. This can be a bit draining so to keep the wallet going….I unplug. Like now, I’m at the library just hanging out typing to you. Hearing no interactions, watching the crazies, and waiting for someone to return lion king again because that’s just a great movie. No matter what age you are!

For lunch I had great Indian food at Deep in Fishers, IN and a pint of King Fishers Indian Beer. Oh boy, now you’re talking lavish day off. Oh, I mean hope I get well soon. (snickering) www.ginglesdirect.com
