"I just couldn't understand and I couldn't defend
What we had, what we shared, and I couldn't pretend
When the tears rolled down it's like you ain't even notice em
If you had a heart, I was hoping you that would've showed it some"
I usually don't feel the need to explain the titles of my blog posts and take pleasure in letting you decipher the meaning from within my blog. But I'll explain this one. I've been listening to The Crying Game by Nicki Minaj way tooooo often lately. For the last week, it just kind of has been echoing in the back of my head. (The lyrics aren't from the song though, they're from Bed of Lies). So this is kind of a play on words. Hence, The Lying Game.
Also, "I'm angry but I still love you" has been stuck in my head for the longest. It really sums up a large motif of my life.
Thank you all for your continued interest in lil ole me.....with your nosy ass. N to the Wayz, be sure to check out my Trigtionary as well as my Treyology page on the blog. Read on, hoes.
(Damn, I used alot of GIFs in this one)
One more thing, last week someone asked me if my intention was to hurt people in some of the things I say on here. No, not at all. I try to be as honest to mine and as apathetic to yours as possible, tho, honestly. It's about MY story, and there's always a villain in every story. Don't be mad if it's you, that's just how the story goes. And if you don't like that, well, rewrite the story...
My words.
Sweet enough to make you smile.
Soft enough to ease your strife.

Funny enough to incite your laughter.

Sharp enough to end your life.
How did I not know that Lance Bass was gay? He's gay as fuck!!
World STOP. I never really understood how sexy Chris Brown was. Jesus fix it! I bet his stroke game on point....
It's kind of interesting how some men don't even flinch when they cum. My ass be like a damn fish out of water lmfaoo
Jonathan and I have gotten closer this semester and I didn't really realize that until Diane mentioned it. I also want to be closer to Carlos just because I feel like he could be a bomb ass friend and even now I think if I needed him then he would be there for me.
I wanna stay in Tampa for a couple more weeks so one of my great friends reading this should let me stay with them *insert awkward emoji* I'll pay you in money and maybe dick.
I really have been working on my friendships man. I feel like my first year of college my hometown friends and I kind of fell off, well not fell off, but we didn't talk like we did before and like we do now.
Ultimately, I just want someone who sees all of my hues yet still I remain their favorite color..
You know I gave Josh a chance to prove himself to me but all he's proven thus far is that he is inconsiderate and selfish. I'm really getting tired of your shit.
Andy might just be the only one in my good graces. I think if was closer...we would be in a full-fledged relationship. I really care about him. But the distance man.
Let's get straight to this. Last night was a damn shit show. A hurricane full of fucking shit, fish heads, and old hot dog water.
Last night, Encore, LiteBrite, Firecracker, and Toni-Ann came over and we pregamed before going to the club. Encore and his boyfriend were having issues that day and he kept making remarks about he needed to get fucked up. I really should not have allowed to get that drunk because I knew he was in such a fragile emotional state. I think I did so because I'm usually always interested in how people are when they're intoxicated. Anyway, we ended up all pretty hammered. When I went outside to get LiteBrite, he was already getting unnecessarily close to me and even while drunk I kept telling him to fucking stop. When I would push him away, he would make it seem like I was the one flirting with him. No, get the actual fuck away from me. Oh shit. Forgot to mention: He has a boyfriend now. Let me digress.
On Thursday, he came over and told me has a boyfriend whom he had actually known for a week.
Now let me say this, I was initially very salty because when I did want something deeper then him, he kept putting it off and now all of a sudden you claiming a nigga you don't know the first thing about. Typical gay niggas, man. Anywayz, All that changed because he was basically talking shit about his own boyfriend, talmbout he only with him to get to his friend and what not. In that moment, I was so grateful that I never had the opportunity to be his boyfriend because why the fuck would I claim someone talking shit about me. I told LB to bring his boyfriend over. Also, its worth noting that LB was told by his "boyfriend" to stop talking to me. His boyfriend didn't know he was coming to MY place or even that LB was still in contact with me until he got here! Who does that? From jump, I knew the boyfriend felt awkward and was intimidated by my presence.

And on the way there, I could've sworn his dude said something about me being jealous.
I'm thaaaaaat nigga. You couldn't sit on my throne with your crusty ass.
Now back to last night, while we were all in the car, LB kissed Encore.
Yeah, I said that. The only two people in the car with boyfriends kiss each other. In my drunken mind, I didn't know what to do or what to say. I was mostly quiet because I was just trying to process that had happened. Then LB kept touching and rubbing me asking me what's wrong, if you have to ask, then you know you did something you weren't supposed to do. And then, I felt like everyone kept fucking questioning me over and over again to the point where I actually was mad. Then I felt like I was the only one who acknowledged that they kissed. Right after they did, LB said something to the effect of " We're both drunk and single now so it's okay". Let me also mention that LB lied to his dude and didn't tell him he was going out. Keeps getting better and better right?

So Encore's boyfriend is in Ybor and they see each other. I don't even know what was said but next thing I know, Encore left with him despite being in Ybor for all of 20 minutes, maybe. LB ended up leaving with God-knows-who and Firecracker had his dude pick him up.Before he left I was trying to talk to Corey but of course Firecracker wouldn't stop following us so that I could talk to him and just ended up dominating the conversation. Interestingly enough, LB's boyfriend ended up calling me and asking about his boyfriend and of course, I let him know.
After, I was a bit conflicted just because my loyalty was to LB, however, I felt like he had no loyalty to me, which..changes things.
As Toni and I are actually having fun now because all the drama is gone (no T, no shade). LB's boyfriend appears out of nowhere, asking me where he is, and telling me to call him...Later on he tells me that he doesn't believe LiteBrite was ever there because he never saw him. My nigga, you sound dumb as fuck. It's crazy because I have all but damn near screamed in this boy face that your boyfriend ain't shit and that's exactly why I don't want his ass. Desperation makes people say and do the most ridiculous things. Even after all this, I'm pretty sure they're still together. I don't know who to feel sorry for.
So about thirty minutes before Toni and I get ready to leave the club, Encore texts me and asks me to stay over because his boyfriend and him are fighting and that his ankle is broken and nipple piercing is ripped out. Even though I'm still reeling from the kiss at this point, I still decide that even if he's being a shitty friend that doesn't mean I have to be one too. Originally, I was going to get him then go home but of course, Firecracker wanted to inject himself into it. I really did not want him to go over there because Encore's boyfriend has already experienced him try to come at Encore in a romantic way. That nigga ain't never gonna be truly be happy with you around his man, and Firecracker just does not understand that.
Anyway, Firecracker came and got Toni and I and the three of us go get Encore. I definitely look worn down. They had been fist fighting and there was also something about someone getting dragged by a car. Cray-Cray. When it was finally just Encore and I, we had a deep conversation. All this time the only thing I could think about was his well-being and all he was concerned about was how I felt about him in regards to the kiss. You know I told him alcohol really is no excuse but at the same time, I know he was already in a very weak emotional state. Moreover, I believe anybody in the car could have kissed Encore if they wanted to. Litebrite was just the only one Thot enough to do so.
I actually ended up hanging out with both Encore and his boyfriend. Okay so lowkey, his boyfriend and I used to talk way back when but it was never anything serious in the least. While we were hanging out, he asked me how we knew each other from before. I didn't expect him to remember cuz I didn't at first. I probably wouldn'tve but coincidentally right before I met Encore, I actually went to the boyfriend's page after he liked one of my pics on IG. I saw that he had a boyfriend whom I would come to know as Encore. Antywayz, I really got to see that they really do argue over nothing. At one point they were actually arguing and didn't realize that they were saying the same thing as each other. It got kind of awkward so I left.
I feel that Firecracker sometimes puts on a front and I believe that's largely due to the fact that he is the youngest. I know that because I am the same way. When I'm around friends who are vastly older than I am, I try to disband any speech or action that is conducive to me being younger than them, however it usually works in the opposite way.

You know, for the longest I've been trying to figure out who encore reminded me of. then i realized: Usher. They have a similar head shape (and size?) (no shade). usher, of course, is much more smooth and sexy in everything he does *fans crotch*. The more I hang out with Encore, the more I find him to be goofy, which isn't a bad thing on the right guy. (Actually I would describe most of my close friends as goofy..Sami and sometimes Diane, so it speaks about my friendship). His most attractive feature is that he very laid back and really easy to talk to, which really makes me value my friendship with him. Similar to my friendship with Ralph, I feel that his personality evens out mine but at the same time, the animation of mine brings out the vivacity in his. Even though I have known Corey not that long, I admire him as an
individual. Now as far as being in relationships, he kinda cray-cray, but perhaps that's for
another blog post down the line. Ain't nothin better than a nigga that do exactly what see he gon do. When he says he gonna come over, he does. He hasn't flaked out on me yet and it sounds so obsurd but I'm just used to aint-shit ass niggas. Moreover, he is just a fucking man. He takes care of shit and in regards to his boyfriend, no matter what, he still got that nigga. That's exactly what I want, no matter what happens, you still got me at the end of the day. That shit is legit.
I've always subconsciously surrounded myself with people I can learn from and benefit from being friends with. I really admire every single one of my close friends...Diane, Sami, Karissa, Jonathan, Kristy (heyyyyy Europe) and hey, even Rachel...all of these individuals do both what they NEED to do and what the fuck they WANT to do (I think that will be my contribution to Encore's life. He often compromises himself for the sake of others. But sometimes, you have to do what YOU want to do).That is so beautiful to me. I've really surrounded myself with
crusty lovely people who inspire many of my actions and thoughts. But they mostly have no clue that I feel that way. Sometimes we'll talk and they will mention things like being in fucking Paris or winning a sorority competition and I find myself being intimidated almost to the verge of tears. I'm trying to find myself and I have learned so much about myself but at the end of the day, I'm really the only person that will be able to really appreciate that. I wish I was that Trey I was in high school constantly concerned with KILLING everything. KILL KILL KILL. I guess I'm not him because I have been rejected due to over-qualification from positions on campus more conducive to my nature and experience. Subsequently, I have no desire to reach for greater things. I see this as more of a low point in my life. A hump to get over.
2013: Don't you know who the fuck I am?
2014: Everybody should know who I am.
2015: Who am I?
I really have to stop fronting. I need to come to terms with certain things. Sometimes I just lay in bed and ask myself tear-summoning questions. (Even now, I'm wiping away tears as I type this)
"What really happened to Rafael and I?"
"Why the fuck can't I keep a guy? Why do they all seem to have mental issues?"
"Why was I so callous towards my dad because I wasn't willing to show me love in the way I wanted? Why did I wait so long to forgive him? And it just seemed like it was too late.."
People tell me I'm strong but I don't really have a choice. I am and always will be the protector of my friends and family...but who the fuck is gonna protect me?
