all right, it's 6 o clock in the morning out here in the jerz. happy new years to everybody first off. second off, i know i should be in bed BUT i have something to get off my chest.
next year around this time, i will be out of the closet to my homeboy as i am already to my brother. i will be out to more people. that is a goal i have for this year. i was hoping to come out to him last year but plans change. i also have to say that i am now either growing up or just had it up to here with the bullshit.
next year, i do NOT plan on going out on new years or better yet if i do, i'm going to a gay club. that's no question. when i went to that club, i realized how much of a mistake that i made. what the hell was i doing that? i'm gay. of course, i wasn't going to have a good time. i should be at a place with guys like me. i saw like two cute guys and when i was waiting to the bathroom, this guy accidently pushed his crotch against my ass. right now, i should be in bed with a guy or a guy who i call my boyfriend enjoying my L-I-F-E. why was i there? i also realized how stupid it was and how stupid new years is. people are happy that they lived to see another year. i now am happy to live to see another day and this morning showed me that. you had a bunch of people that were acting crazy and some of them got really shitfaced. my brother and my homeboy got drunk BUT i didn't. i didn't want to get drunk because i didn't feel like following along what everybody else was doing. i don't like the feeling of being drunk or intoxicated. i also didn't want to be one of those people that i saw ready to start a fight or being unable to stand up where someone or the police was trying to talk sense into them.
but yeah, new york most definitely ain't safe as it's cracked up to be nowadays. i saw like three fights. one of them almost turned into a gunfight. my homeboy did the stupidest thing and i'm really disappointed at him for doing this. this is why i didn't drink like that and i don't understand why people do it. we pass by these projects and a fight breaks down between these group of people. they start scuffling, swinging on each other and next thing you know, someone pulls out a gun and starts shooting into the air. that's the first time i ever seen someone fire a gun in front of me. it wasn't as scary as i thought it would be shockingly. the shots weren't loud loud either at least to me. surprisingly, most people weren't freaking out, much rather standing around. my homeboy, must have been because he was drunk, was standing there when it all happened, trying to do some matrix shit.

i'm trying to get him to move away from the gunfire and he's just standing there. he's lucky that the commotion didn't go in our direction where whoever was shooting shot in our direction. dude talks about he was going to hide behind a car as if the bullets couldn't ricohet and hit him. man........... i'm a bit pissed off with him @ the fact that dude could have got himself, me or both of us injured or killed doing something stupid like that. even if he was drunk, that was stupid to stand there when something like that happened. he was joking about it afterwards but i didn't think that was funny. much rather stupid. then my brother and my homeboy both were talking shit, acting a fool and these other drunk idiots passed by us ready to fight somebody. my brother and my homeboy start talking shit about them and the drunk idiots that passed us overheard it so they start getting upset. my brother and my homeboy talk shit back and i find myself in the mix with a situation ready to pop off.
you know, i was miserable already from the jump before i even left the house because i wasn't feeling too good. my brother was forming the ass getting outside the house where we arrived at the club fairly late. i was trying to get there early BUT my brother decided to do some bullshit. i also had my mother when i was telling my brother off jumping on my case telling me to stop arguing with him. basically, i was dealing with a lot of bullshit AND i was having people around me telling me to tolerate it. well, i'm tired of that shit. i love my family and my friends but at the same time, i'm beginning to look at myself more and care. i don't want to get drunk, i want to come out the closet, i don't want to pretend that i am no longer in pain, and basically i don't want to live my life around what other people want me to do or want me to be. i want to live life how i want. my homeboy tells me to be positive instead of being negative. he's right BUT @ the same time, i feel that the things that are in my environment being pushed on to me is negative anyways. so it's time i man up and walk away from it.
