More of the Tangled Web

Posted by moody605 on September 29, 2009

One of my readers, YB&DL, had asked me a couple of questions regarding my Tangled Web post.  If you haven’t already read it, go back and do so. Everything will make a lot more sense if you do. The questions were more or less 1. had I ever talked to Joe about the fact that we both had screwed Tyrone and Tyson? and  2. considering how tangled the web was, had I ever heard anything unflattering about  anybody in the web? The short answers to both of those questions are yes and yes. The long answer follows.

Tyson – This is a dude I met in April of 2007. He was a DL frat dude  and our whole interaction started off as a hook up in his dorm room. He was attractive physically (think Common), but I wasn’t into him in a romantic sense. We continued talking and fucking regularly, but we lost touch after a while. We reconnected in April of 2008 and I found out that he had liked me a lot and went through this big depression because he felt I had led him on. I had been aware that he liked me, but I didn’t feel the same way about him and made it clear (I thought) that we were just friends with benefits.

TyroneTyrone is a dude that I met in the summer of 2007. That summer was my “cruel summer” where I was very isolated from my friends and going through a serious dry spell in terms of dating. I met Tyrone from a4a and we decided to meet up at his place. When I got there, I was pleasantly surprised.  Tyrone was 6′0, dark-skinned, very muscular build, nice smile — very attractive. Looked nothing like his picture, which was a good thing this time around. We chatted and winded up fucking, but I was rather disappointed and unsatisfied because he was literally a one-minute man. It was a good minute, but it was left me seriously unsatisfied and annoyed. After that one hook-up, things didn’t really pop off between us and he just became another notch on my bedpost.

Joe – This is a dude I met in November of 2006. He is an friend/rival of mine. I guess you could call him a frenemy. I like him sometimes and I absolutely can’t stand the dude at other times. He can be a real nice guy or shady as hell, depending on his mood . I don’t really trust him, but I keep him around for my own entertainment (at arms length of course). We became cool and started hanging out after we met, but in February of 2007, Joe disappeared on me. He stopped answering my calls and eventually his line was disconnected. I hadn’t yet been to his place, so I couldn’t go and check on him. At the time I thought this fool must have died or he got a boyfriend. Either way, I just said fuck it and kept it moving. Somehow (I can’t remember anymore) we reconnected in early 2008, at which point he told me the disappearing act was because he had been going through s0me hardcore bullshit with some dude he was dating. After he explained to me the shit the dude did(we’ll call him Pedo), I told him flat out to get rid of the dude. But of course, he said he was too in love with Pedo to let go. Whatever. After that, I went through a rough and crazy period myself and we kind of fell out of contact. We reconnected again in October of 2008 and decided to go get dinner so we could catch up.

Joe and I met up at ******’s and started catching up and what not over some drinks. He told me all of the bullshit he was still going through with Pedo. He also mentioned that sex with Pedo was garbage, so he had started fucking with this dude that his ex Will (oops hehe) had introduced him to. Joe started having sex with this new dude and was using that to cope with his crumbling relationship with Pedo. He started to describe the new dude and I was like damn he sounds sexy. Then he said the dude’s name was Tyrone and mentioned the fact that the dude couldn’t last in bed. Immediately, I told him that I knew a dude just like that with the same name. I told him where my Tyrone lived and what he drove and we both concluded that we had fucked the same dude.

Being that Joe is my frenemy, I made it seem like I had gotten bored with Tyrone and tossed him because he was a one-minute man (which isn’t quite how it happened). I was very dismissive and nonchalant about it, but I basically rubbed it Joe’s face that he was enjoying my sloppy seconds. I know he wasn’t exactly happy about the fact, even though he tried unsuccessfully to pretend that everything was cool. As the dinner went on, it also came up that Tyson was Joe’s ex. I was surprised at this and immediately let him know that me and Tyson had fucked numerous times. I also let Joe know that I had no idea Tyson even knew him. Since this was Joe’s ex, I didn’t try to rub it in his face, but I put everything on the table. He said he had no problem since they had broken up  before I met Tyson. He also told me that Tyson used to beat the shit out of him when they were together and had the scars on his face to prove it. I was thrown for a loop, because Tyson seemed very easy-going and didn’t look like the Chris Brown type at all.

Anyway, I could tell that Joe wasn’t entirely feeling the fact that I had fucked another dude he had been involved with. In fact, after that dinner, I noticed that he started acting shady and jealous. Anytime I would mention anybody I was talking to or fucking, he would quickly try to change the subject, when before he always wanted to know all of the details of it. He made it a point to text me everytime he was about to go fuck Tyrone or in the middle of fucking Tyrone. I didn’t sweat it, I would just reply back “hit me up in a minute when you’re done.” He would also text me to “complain” that Tyson (his ex) was hitting him up with raunchy messages.  It seemed innocent, but it was obvious Joe was trying to rub that shit in my face. Like I said, I could tell he wasn’t cool with the fact I had fucked 3 2 dudes he had messed with. Funny, considering he was the one that told me “everyone messes with everyone, so be careful.” I should also mention that Joe is a self-proclaimed light-skinned pretty boi (wtf is that?) and has a superiority complex because of that. He even told me that he knows a lot of dudes would be after him because he has light skin. Okaaaay. I’ve sometimes wondered whether his jealousy and shadiness are rooted in the fact that a dark-skinned dude like me was pulling just as many (and some of the same) dudes that he does.  Hmm, I guess I shouldn’t tell him that I fucked his other ex Will.  That would take our fucked-up, unspoken rivalry to a whole new level. More to come.

My Sag Swag

Posted by moody605 on September 2, 2009

I‘ve never really taken astrology and star signs seriously. However, when I started talking to dudes, that stuff would come up all the time. For some, it was just a conversation starter or light point of curiosity. For others, it seemed to be what they based their life decisions on. To each his own. I still don’t take astrology very seriously, but it can be fun to contemplate one’s personality traits and see how well they match up with your sign. I came across the following piece on Sagittarius (my sign) and highlighted in bold the stuff i think is the most accurate:

Somewhere between priest and clown, the Sagittarius man is always on the move with his heart on his sleeve. You might recognize him by his friendly gesture when he sees you across the room. Friendship and freedom are both indispensablefor the male Sagittarius.

Love
“Don’t fence me in” is the war cry of the Sagittarius male. To keep him in your sights, show an interest in adventure, sports, nature, outdoors, and big animals. His favorite subject is philosophy, and he likes to give advice. But you should be aware that despite his educated persona, he was really raised in a barn. Be prepared for him to knock his coffee cup over on your new carpet or trip on the way to meeting your parents for the first time. As a lover, your Sagittarius man will be friendly rather than ardent, casual rather than selective, and happy with just about anything as long as you don’t try to control him. Basically he likes to sweep all unpleasantness under the rug. You should, too. He’s got a happy life and prides himself on his sunny disposition. If a Sagittarius male thinks you’re going to bring him down, you’ll see how fast a four-legged creature can run.

Work
Sagittarius men are hard to pin down. They are usually found in careers that offer the maximum amount of freedom and vacation and a minimum amount of desk duty. Travel, recreation, summer camp, publishing, marketing, and sales are attractive to the Sagittarius man because he can come and go as he pleases. Sagittarius men as bosses are indifferent since they never wanted to be in charge anyway. The male Sagittarius employee will be hard to keep up with. What is he up to now? When is he coming back? Here is the guy who refuses to sign in and sign out because he does not want to be tracked. If you’re stuck supervising one, try not to take it too seriously because he never will. Give the Sagittarius man space to tell the truth and let him use his intuition. You may find his creativity and intuition a valuable asset.

Spirituality
“Zealot” describes the spiritual path of the Sagittarius men. Here is a seeker of truth looking for an intuitive experience of the divine. Because of his openness to being inspired, many a Sagittarius man is afire with messages from above and has a great deal of truth to share. Sagittarius men need to talk about their transcendental experiences (but should avoid trying to convert people).

Shadow
Think of the last arrogant, pompous, know-it-all you encountered. He probably had some afflicted Sagittarian energy. Sagittarius men are so smart they can begin to think that no one else knows anything. Their quest for the truth may end in an opinion, belief, or viewpoint that they must share with others and that others must share with them to the point that no other opinions will be tolerated. His love for freedom can lead him from one green pasture to the next. If the Sagittarius male is not careful to keep all four feet on the ground, his life will pass without him having ever made a commitment to anyone or anything.

Again, it’s crazy how accurate some of that description was. I’m curious about those of you who read my blog. What is your sign and how similar is your personality to the traits associated with that sign? In other words, are you a Pisces that really acts like a Pisces? Are you a Scorpio that doesn’t give a damn about sex? Please comment and let me know!
