An Important Night

His name was Jason. Victor and he had been talking for more than 6 months by June after his 21st birthday. It was fitting that they finally met. Victor talked to Jason on a regular basis since he moved back in with his mother and felt that he was really getting to know him and from what Victor knew he liked Jason a lot.

One day victor decided to make his house calls and visit his family. While at his aunts house he called Jason to see what he was doing and if tonight would be a good night to meet.

Jason recently was convicted of a DUI and had no license so he and a few of his friends were going to a local bar called Raven in New Hope Pennsylvania. Victor reminded Jason that he had a car and was willing to drive. And drive victor did 50 min from his current location to meet not only Jason but his friends.

Once at the bar victor called Jason and looked around. He immediately felt out of place when he noticed he got a few stares. Jason grabbed him and pulled him over to where his fiends were and the normal round of “hi my name is,” began. It took a little while for Victor to realize that the bar was infect a gay bar, and that was why he got the stares.

Victor could not help but flirt with Jason’s friend Rich. Rich started it and Victor loved the attention. Yet Victor tried to keep it to a minimum as he came to see Jason who did not seam to look all to interested. The conversation carried on and the jokes were tossed and laughter rang out, the sound that indicated the night and summer were just beginning.

While laughing and using body language to flirt a gentlemen came over to introduce himself. A blond haired fellow of about five foot ten, found the perfect break in conversation to say “Hi my name is Mike and my friend over there really thinks your cute and we were wondering if it's OK with your friends if we bought you a drink and you come over to chat a little bit.”

Victor gave a look at the group and they encouraged him with their looks of approval to go on. What perfect timing, Victor had just finished his kamikaze and the buzz was at its peak, a feeling that Victor had recently come to enjoy.

Victor sat down next to Mike’s friend who looked to be nervous as all hell and the round of “hi my name is,” commenced once more. To get the ball rolling the quest “Where are you from?” was asked. And when Victor saw that the guy he was brought over to meet was fidgeting and quiet he tried to get him to speak.

“So M, where are you from?” At once he noticed that no one lived locally except Mike but even he was a good rid away. While Victor found M’s fidgeting charming his friends kept telling him to sit still.

M left to go to the bathroom and came back less than a min latter to tell everyone that he couldn't because someone was staring at him. A few minuets Victor had to go and M Suggested that Victor go across the street to their motel’s bathroom. A little alarmed but self assured he went. On the walk over M began to open up. They made small talk and exchanged phone numbers. In the Motel room they did not as much as stand with in 3 feet of each other.

Victor found himself to be little torn as he liked Jason but was unsure how far this was going to go with M. He knew a kiss would be as far as it could go but was this kiss going to happen with Jason or M?

Intro to "Welcome Life"

Many of my current readers know quite well who Victor Bethea II is. Those that know him well also know who I am. But why am I telling his story is a task I fell I will allow you to figure out.

I will start with no specific date but around about a time of year where a lot was happing for my dear friend Mr. Bethea. I must warn you Victor's life is not a complete happy one. It tends to go from one end of the emotional spectrum to the other quite frequently.

Victor has finally found something loves with all his heart. He always liked school with the exception of high school. But college was fun. Going at night he met a wide array of people. He started college at 19 and went nights as he had a full time job he loved. But now at 20 tings was getting a little harder. On top of having his own apartment he now financed an automobile. He named her Jessica, a reason unknown to even him. A 2006 Kia Rio. And with his 21st birthday right around the corner this year was proving to be a big year.

Victor was dreaming of having a big party with cake candles alcohol and friends. But his funds did not allow. He surveyed several of his friend and found tat many of them did something a little more traditional. They went to a bar with a few trusted friends and drank until they didn't know their ass from there elbow.

Victor’s mother encouraged him to abandon his strong hold for a party and even put the idea of just going out with friends in his head. And so he planned.

It was one month before victors lease was up. he loved the apartment and hated his land lord due to her request that rent be paid via money order rent was many times late as the prime place for victor to get one closed before he even got off of work. And until 3 months before he was to move out victor had no car and relied on SEPTA to get around. The poor kid was living from paycheck to pay check just getting by. He was happy though he had his own place and he was allowed to start finding himself. A man trapped by his mother and religion and the thought of what people would think if he started letting the real him show.

But what was the real Victor, Sometimes he did not even know.

Mugged

I know that it may appear strange that I would start the year off with my first blog being about Victor getting mugged but in fact it is the one I am.

On February sixth Victor was mugged. The story is a strange one as victor walked away with everything except a cell phone that was about to kick the bucket.

He was walking home after work late the hour was a half past eight. While talking on his phone in hopes to avoid a confrontation he was struck from behind. He reports as to turning around to acknowledge that is realized he was being followed.

Being only a block away from his residence he felt that it was safe and their was no need to be alarmed. The moment the thought ran through his head it was immediately knocked out when he was struck from behind. With adrenalin pumping, he screamed “Oh my god.” The attackers which were a group of about 5 black males forced him to the ground. At that moment there is no doubt about divine intervention, as Victor could clearly see the men were swinging but each blow missed or landed ever so softly. He called out for help about twice. On of the attackers shouted get of the phone and attempted to grab it. Victor tossed it aside and two went for it. after shouting one more time all fled leaving victor in shock as to what just happened.

Confused and startled victor continued home. Once home he realized his roommate was home but sound asleep. He logged onto aim and told his best friend what had happened. After the exchange of a few words he requested she call his mother to help him deal with the situation.

In the end Victor gave a report to the cops and his mother gave him a stun gun.

In an effort not to let the events of the night ruin his day he took his normal dose of St Johns wart along with his normal vitamins in order to stay happy and blissful through his day.

Welome to Titus Sheldon

I finally decided what this blog will contain. I shall combine four things. 2 of these things will require your comments on. The first of which, the papers I write for school and the second, the plots that I write for movies. The other two simply combine everything else I did and do web based, the fashion blog and my weekly rant about what ever I found to bug me over the pass week, month, year, or life time. So check back soon as I think I shall complete the first week shortly.
