That’s what today was man…..a bad fucking day….
I’m probably going to “get in trouble” over this entry, but whatever because this is how I feel, uncensored from my point of view….fuck it….
Things started to go poorly when somehow or another the topic of conversation switched to SOMETHING which is fucking unimportant about one of my friend’s relationships with another one. Basically the person I was talking to was overreacting/blowing something out of proportion (IN MY OPINION, which was solicited might I add)…I got accused of taking someone’s side “because they were my boy…and a car door was slammed”….I took it for what it was worth and moved on….
At any rate that was brought up later, and supposedly squashed….
So the scene shifts to “Family Fun Night” and while it involved families and took place at night, wasn’t fun….basically I learned that I can’t play board games anymore….
Earlier on (everything takes place “earlier on”) I stated that I wouldn’t be on the same team as a certain person, but SOMEHOW, me and this person ended up on the same team playing “Scene It”…in case you don’t know about this game, it’s basically a DVD based game with movie trivia, which sometimes shows movie clips….honestly I could win the fucking game BY MYSELF, me against the world! Or at least with the people I know…it wouldn’t matter WHO I was playing with…..THAT is bragging, I admit as much….however my team, consisting of me, the person I wasn’t supposed to team with, and a female ended up winning GOING away….of course at the close of the game I was accused of bragging, even though the person who accused me of such things wasn’t even supported by at least one of her teammates….that’s neither here nor there….honestly I should have went home then…instead we went and made a chicken run…..
When I got back, things were “supposedly” squashed….we decided to play Trivial Pursuit….man it was the game from hell….between people saying, “Wow I got one” sarcastically when they got a question right and people being upset about stupid shit, it just wasn’t fun, which defeats the purpose of playing fucking games!!!….games are supposed to be stress relief right? RIGHT????….so anyway after the game was over, I made the mistake of saying a particular person was “damned good” at the game….I mean honestly she surprised me with how goddamn good she was at it….but another player took offense and was like, “I guess the rest of us sucked”….I NEVER FUCKING SAID THAT!!! Everytime someone gives a compliment to another player, it doesn’t necessarily mean the converse for OTHER players….
Then on top of everything else I had to ride home with one of the poor sports….and while I was upset, it wasn’t really that much of a big deal….I finished a bottle of beer and dropped back a few steps to chuck the bottle in the grass and not hit them….
The person walks further along and then asks me “do you not want to walk with me…I tried walking slow and fast and you don’t seem to want to walk with me”….
How the FUCK am I supposed to respond to that? I just said, “It’s not even that deep an issue….I don’t really care”….I mean honestly, is there ANY right answer to that? I can’t fucking win, just like in board games…I CAN’T win…if I lose, then I have to hear shit….if I win, I have to hear shit….
I’m not good at too many things, my life sucks, if you read this shit enough you KNOW that….LET ME WIN A FUCKING GAME OF SCENE IT WITHOUT INCIDENT DAMNIT!!!
Fuck man….I’m going to bed…

Personally, I think everyone was oversensitive about things and the mix of alcohol didn’t help at all. No, family fun night wasn’t as fun as the first time because people were taking themselves way too serious. In the grand scheme of things, did any of that shit mean anything? So what happens now, you proved you were right, but what have you lost in the process? There comes a point in time where we need to learn to let shit go. I hasn’t been an easy lesson for me to learn, trust me. But for the stake of keeping the peace and halfway enjoying this life we are living, LET THE SHIT GO. Family fun night can return to it initial glory if we don’t bring all the drama from the day to the night.
“But this is just my ghetto point of view.”

here’s my ( unsolicited, might i add..hah ! )opinion…rough it off , and keep it MOVIN..life’s too short to put up with the bulls!$t, so don’t. those who are your friends for real, for real , will put aside the petty arguments and love you no matter what…those who don’t, you didn’t need to begin with.

Hey Cal, that was a pretty wacky night. I however enjoyed myself even though that was a long ass torturous game of trivial pursuit. Maybe we started too late. I think that I will never play that shit again, I like Scene-it & Taboo 10x better. Ooh yeah, maybe I am new at this but since when are there rules of engagement for playing trivia games @ home, quizbowl is one thing but in your living room having thrown back some beers is quite another. I didn’t like how some people were trying to be so formal and serious about the whole thing, it put a damper on things in my opinion. sorry it sucked, I was actually lookin forward to you playin with us even if you were gonna beat the socks off of us.

Here’s the thing man. Losing sucks. Being a loser, albeit however brief and microcausmic it may be, sucks. When you lose at anything in life, the world looks at you and lowers its collective head in shame. Why? Cause being a loser is a mark of exile. Noone wants to associate with a loser. It brings your stock DOWN. The shit plummets man
What’s more, losing sucks a thousand fold worse when someone tells you that you are a loser, are going to lose, and there is nothing you can do about losing. “Now, how’s that feel, hmm?”
LOL. In all seriousness though, sensitive people should stay home, people who can give it and take it should play the game. Nods.
