Vents 8/27 When Im a fan of you, Im with you. When I’m not, watch out! For the record Tulip Noir, in my own opinion is a waste of value, over priced, organic and bland, and balemic porportioned. I’ll pass. 
The atomsphere is very modern, fresh, crisp, cool color slab white tables, modern white chairs. The menu, to the eye ravinous. We ordered a basic breakfast, white tea, iced coffee, half order or pancakes, and a greek gourmet omelette. So what are you thinking? Thats alot of food? That sounds expensive?
How about $40 ridiculous! LOL. But, it gets better. The basic breakfast is one slice of toast, 2 sausage, and one egg. It cost $9. The pancakes. (rolling my eyes) I’ve seen bigger table coaster for drinks. And, to top everything off the pancake were so healthy and herbal when you started chewing them, you continued chewing them for the next 4 mins. Ummm, I don’t have the time to chew pancakes the same length of time as bubble licious gum. I just dont. They forgot my potatoes, which I was charged for. My bacon was over done and the iced coffee was smaller than a regular red bull container.
Therefore, it is the verdict of the council of table snobs to add Indianapolis Tulip Noir cafe to the restaurant trash list. Welcome. You suck. I’d save my quarters and go to Mcdonald’s next time. Or use these funds at Indianapolis Cafe Patachou, A to Z cafe, Best Bet of Noblesville, Lincoln’s Pancake House, the Elbow Room, Papa’s on the East Side, or even Taste in Broad Ripple.

Vents Its better to have tried than not tried at all. Who said that? Obviously, someone who felt accomplished. I must say that I agree with them. Have you noticed that the music we love, that we truly love found us at a time when we were unaccomplished waiting on that which never came & music filled the void? Sighing. Was it worth it?
If you ask me I think so. I feel like ive been apart of many amazing chapters in my life & others lives. They intertwine perfectly. Someone once told me, that, as you get older you can decipher faster the things that you dont want & spend your time wisely going after what you do want. Only caveat is, its a pass or go waiting game. There are many passes, let me tell you. And a few go’s. There is yet still, another pass & go level once you decide to engage. I believe there are signs that we are all aware of that tell us to yield but out of out own desire we persist.
No matter how you thought you were justified, it still never worked out. Hmm, im thinking.
I am a very blessed girl. I cant tell you all my thoughts but God keeps my heart & knows his child. He knows his child, what she needs, what will drive me, &what will break my heart to make me stronger. It takes seeing the glass half full to realize even if that special one leaves, and another visits, that’s way better than no one ever caring or visiting. So be encourged, the right one will come along. But, if you are choosen in the right moment to rise above yourself, what u are used too, then chose to say yes. That yes, however short it may last is your breath of fresh air.

Daily Blog,
Vents Everyone’s got their something. I know that. But sometimes a little bit of your something and a bit of mine just don’t mesh. This past week I was under unprecedent stress. Had to prepare for the Indy Black Expo, make custom items, screen print shirt 155, order promotions, attend a family reunion. Talk about just walking around in circles encircling circles. There were so much business drama from others making bad decisions that I was just over it.
I now have structured my decisions that if a production, organization, or persons looks faulty unorganized or questionable; I’m not going to do that event. I can’t. I quit people! I may behave as though I can walk thru rain and not get wet but in reality I’m soaked. Good business with imitating non-business people is draining. In fact a waste of time. Not anymore, I don’t care how much I have invested, the bs and upchuck on my time days are over. If urre in business, you shud follow suit. Good business = prosperity.
On a lighter note, I have finished the reunion shirt for my family reunion. They came out very nice indeed. It brought my heart down to its knees to see my elders, cousins, and other family fellowshipping together. Events of this magnitude shud be selfless. Meaning, not about you, what you look like, or what you’re wearing but about what you can share with others.
Lastly, meetings & planning takes up the remainder of my week. Id say in 24 hours I sleep 9 hrs, day dream 2, usually work 9, design 3, smile 1hr each day. Hahaha, perhaps looking back Id guess maybe 14hrs of the day is spent thinking. Very cool…the more you think, the more money you’ll save or make. Listen to me.
My last round off to this week were all thepretty faces. And there were a lot. While ill admit, I’m exceptionally smart, talented & attractive I haven’t found that one yet. My practice is courting, learning, frienship, & growing. All those other claims to please the flesh, egh, I’ve got wayy better thing to do in that short amount of time. Wink. But I do want to give a big hug out to nita, karen, ms morrow, she who is radiently beautiful remains branded & nameless enjoying this “good life”, denice, lori, cousin, laila, my ace, my ace in the house of g. Ingles, meich mesh, and all my customers. I love you, see u soon!
6:20pm. I’ve ordered a petite salad with croutons, crab cakes, and hot curried chicken with cous cous. And two white russians, stiff. Haha. Now that was delicious. I’m sitting here at the jazz kitchen in broad ripple enjoying myself. The jazz is smooth and the mood simmering. I’m feeling light and grateful, talented and free. This is a life is good moment and I’m loving it. The snare drums and saxaphone are mixing lightly with my subtle day. As I lay back in my seat. My thoughts float back to all those other people that at one time or two held your heart but they aren’t here now. Do we stilll call them? Do we even care how they are doing? It is at this moment my thoughts are rolling in onto my shore and I think…..if in the pass windows of love’s embrace, if I was always so much then why were you so little? We went our own roads. Now are u most happy? (Chuckling)
8:05p riding down the highway doing 80mph, all windows down, seat belt on, sunroof opened, my hand surfing in the rushing wind of the window. Listening to the boston philharmonic symphony over JBL speakers. Images flash in… strong back, shoulders, ….. .soft lips, … …. .wide eyes. What a great smile. Hmm recalling the past morning, you being the first one I saw. Nothing else matters. You are all Ill ever recall for that day.

Vents Where do I start? March 12th was not what I was expecting. It was not what I told my guest. And, its frankly not a show I would of attended had I known.
This was advertised as a body and art spring break show with VIP access. Now lets see…body,art, access, and VIP were missing. But given, most of the U.S. is on springbreak I guess that one fits. Lets move on… it just was, if I could rate a number from 1-10, 10 being high. I give it a 3. And since, I endorsed this event I too give myself a 2.
Im sorry gang. I felt like I missed a step and time wharped back to a horrible illegal 80′s Industrial Rave fully synced with the neon lighting, smoky room, and blue lighting. And, offbeat characters can’t forget them. I felt like I was trapped in the movie TRON. 
It struck me as odd how much techno was played given the advertisement stated the top 40 would be spun. Lastly, if VIP includes all bar staff, buddies, and elbow bar buddies then why even open up the access to the public? Seems more like AJO, average joes only but not VIP. Call it what it is-
But my entourage of beautiful dutchesses came out and reversed the trend! Looks like to me VIP is a state of mind.

Vents There are times when everything and nothing goes as it was suppose to go. At these times we can either stop, yield or keep going. Kinda like a stop light. But mostly, we keep going, because the world, our world revolves around us; not others. I am glad that my mother taught me what it means to visit the sick and the weak, to pray, and to yield to God’s will. Whatever that looks like in the physical world. Before I get to my funny and randomly assorted day, I want to encourage you to tender your heart to good friends and the sick. Those of us that are older and elderly are not useless we are the opposite-useful. They have decades of dried tears that have crystalized to be diamonds, mountable wings as eagles, meekness that goes beyond just a thank you, and unfortold legacies of life’s little wonders, avoidable pains, and surpassable glories. Take a knee, an ear, or a gesture of goodwill to those that are elderly, sick, poor, or disabled. Your blessing is not in what you do in thought but in actions of kindness, generosity, and mindless goodwill. Effect someone with your kindness.
Fashion: I found a venue. Yea! Im so excited!! It took a long time to find a venue for my show. Alot of planning goes into finding the right spot. I have called 24 places, spoken with 13 managers, 10 worthless associates, and received 10 callbacks. How frustrating! Price, lighting, and space is key for me above just a runway. A hallway will do for a runway; models on one side and the dj on the other. What you say!?
Atlast, I have decided on 300 East off binford blvd April 30th, 2011 from 5-8pm. VIP $35 will include dinner and one beverage, mixer before the show, and runway seating. General Admission $15 gives you access to the G. Ingles Fashion Show. Reply to this blog and recieve $5 off your ticket.
Now on to my very uncoordinated day!
8am Get a call from my ma to take her to see someone in the hospital 9am my sprint phone tells me that my phone is stolen and that it has reported me to Sprint 10am Im in the Sprint store. My phone was purchased at Radioshack so they say I have to go there to return it 10:15 Im in Radioshack and their system is down 10:30 still down, I offer to leave and return, the mgr says no it’ll come back up 11am its still down 11:15 she just gives me another phone that wasn’t properly checked out. Then sends me 15 mins away to load my contact info into the new phone. I get there and they say, “ma’am its a smartphone just log into your gmail acct and everything moves over”. Why did she do this to me? Did my time not matter to her?
11:30am I hug the sprint rep and kiss him. 11:35 he asks me for my number 11:35:04 I answer not interested but thank you gotta go! So now Im off to finally get my mom. Oh theres more. She’s elderly…so as she’s getting into my very small beamer she puts here cane in first not knowing that her cane is punching me in the stomach, neck and arm. I snatch the cane. I say “woman if you dont get in this car already!” 12:10 shes in and we’re ready to go. 3:55 I give her just a small sip of my monster energy drink.
4-5pm She can’t stop talking and laughing and sharing things I wish the music was higher so that I couldn’t hear! Is this what a diabetic tweaker looks like? Geezsh! 5:15pmWe arrive in Columbus, OH at the hospital. I drop her off at the wrong door. The emergency exit. OMG! I park the car and then go to retrieve her. 5:21pm Damn she’s gone! She walks slow so how far could she go? 5:30pm still lost 5:40 I find the room of who we are visiting but not her. He says, “what are you doing here? Where is your mother? I dont know. He says go get my clothes. I’ve lost them. So I ask the nurse, they say yea he tried to leave earlier so we will keep his clothes with us. Oh. I return, sir they don’t have your clothes. He says where is your mother? How did you get here? OMG. This can not be happening. I ask the hospital to page my ma. I can’t find her. I ask the nurse I can’t find her, she says we already paged her. DAMN! So Im standing in front of the elevator because it an ICU and there is only one way up and down. 17 elevator openings and she’s not there. An elderly woman throughly reading a paper aimlessly gets stuck in the elevator doors. It hits her head. She screams, I go to help and the first thing she asks me is where her paper is at. I give it to her and she continues on her path. Ummm, righttt… Finally I call my ma’s phone. Where is she? Dining with the patients for early dinner in the ER. WTH? Really mamma? How did you manage to come to a hospital 3hrs away and get free dinner and you’re not even a patient. Her reply, Im diabetic. I was hungry dear.

Vents 
Certain: The reign of bad food continues. This week with my collegues we tried India Garden in Broad Ripple. Hmmm, what sounds nice. Lets see. I have had better at every other competitor including the box indian food in Walmart. The waitstaff was lazy and incompetent much like trying to whisper to the guy at Mike’s Carwash while the carwash is going. Not so sure about this. I give this place no stars out of five. If you want good Indian try Taj Mahal, Amber, Shalimar, or Deep of Fishers. Topping the horrible experience, as soon as lunch was over he came over and said you all have to leave. (lmbo) I don’t have much to say LOL. Its so pathetic, I’ll just keep laughing and typing…
Indifferent: Im new to facebook. Its a great way to talk and network with people since the blackplanet and myspace are the lesser options. However, I don’t get quite why some people who we know are just loud mouths post certain things that make most people that read them think…who cares. If you damage your image with your overly loud mouth and flashy ways when you say something legit people may not want to hear what you have to say or care to hear. Think about it.
Against: I hate a user. I do. These are like real life vampires instead of blood they drink others emotions. What a shame. Check it…if you are vastly empty, angry, and negative and need the camouflauge of someone else who is radiant, beautiful, confident, smart, and positive save yourself the trouble of buring a bridge or losing the only person that gives a ‘wisk’ about you and either journal, share with your other negative so called friends, or find a hobby.
Fashion: Nothing new made this week but I still have tonight. I didn’t have much motivation this week. The heart can weight so heavy at times.
Money: Its a new year people. Time to save. No more excuses for having no money. I hope you are setting aside $1 a day. You should be at $16 by now. Don’t rush ahead. Just a $1 is all you need. You’ll see by year end, following my plan you’ll have $435+.
