FIGHT, FIGHT!!!!

Ladynay says she's a six days late on posting this month's blog theme. I've got her beat as I'm a month and six days late on posting anything theme related. I don't remember exactly what last month's theme was other than it was related to love....like ummmm first loves, first kiss, or something like that. Don't hate me ya'll! lol This month's theme is physical fights and boy do I have a doozy. Like to hear it, hear it go......

Picture it, small town AR, 1996. My friends and I had come home from college for our month off during the holidays at the end of the year. Being in small town AR left a lot to be desired in the way of nightlife, so we all decide to venture out to the main juke joint in town, the Ebony social club aka the Ebony. *pours out a lil liquor for the now defunct (ie burnt to a crisp) club* Now during this time, AR Gal was single, always ready to mingle, and had her eye on two young gentlemen.

Now one guy who I'll call ummmmmmmm Juicy Fruit (blame his lips please) had a lot of drama associated with him (ie a crazy ass baby mama). During the summer just prior to the winter break, we hung out a lot with one another. Come to think of it, our interaction only came when I was at home on break or visiting. I don't even recall talking to him on the phone while I was away at school.

The other guy who I'll call Juicy Booty (he had a big butt for a guy, lol) was someone I knew of in high school (he was a few years ahead of me) but we really didn't meet one another until graduation day.....well night (that's another story for another day). I talked to him here and there while I was away at school and he would come up to visit on occasion during the weekend. He was just down the road @ UAPB so it wasn't really a big deal for him to come up.

While making the circle with my girls around the club to find our spot, I noticed Juicy Booty was there and we were in each other's face from that point on dancing and talking. I eventually noticed that Juice Fruit was also there and waved when I saw him. It's getting late and the club starts clearing out so we all make our way outside. I say my goodbyes to Juicy Booty and head over to my friends car where my girls are waiting. Juicy Booty yells something out to me so I turn around to yell something back. As I turn back around Juicy Fruit's crazy ass baby mama is in front of me and knocks me smooth in my face. WTF???!!! I reach for my face (yeah I'm vain like that) and the chick swings at me again but I duck out of the way and swing at her face. Now I don't know if she fell because I hit her or she lost her balance but what I do know is that hoe came tumblin down. My friends say I clocked her but let's face it, we were all a bit inebriated so whose to say what really happened at that particular moment. All I know is she was on the ground and something in my head just clicked. lol I proceeded to kick her in her guts with my four inch boots until my friends made me stop. By then Juicy Booty has made his way over, pulls me over to his truck, and tells my friends to meet us at Dodger Dog (it's a gas station folks). While in the truck, Juicy Booty is trying to calm me down as I'm cussin all kinds of sailor ways and here comes this crazy chick again bangin on his truck window. This not only pisses me off but JB as well. I reach over across him to roll the window down (stupid I know but I was in the moment of it all, lol). She reaches in to get me but I grab her hair and proceeded to bang her head against the truck door. He pushes me back across the seat, rolls the window up (not before getting her told), and rides out. We arrived at the gas station to wait on my friends and ole girl eventually makes her way up there. The gas station was nine times out of ten the spot to go after the club so this was really no big surprise. I see her, she sees me. She's still talkin trash and her friends tell her to and I quote "shut her drunk ass up". I was just ready to get to the house at this point (especially since I couldn't really see my face in the vanity mirror in JB's truck). My friends pull up and I sit in the truck talkin with JB a little bit longer and we roll out.

*Updated*I'm adding this late as Kat asked some good questions that made me realize I had left out some important stuff regarding the crazy baby mama

I never had contact with the girl prior to that night at the club. We went to high school together (she is a year younger than me) but we ran in two different circles. I had heard that JF's baby mama was the jealous type but they were not together at the time (at least that’s how it was told to me, lol) although I'm willing to bet he gave her reason to believe that they still were (especially since they ended up having another kid together). *rolls eyes and sighs* He talked to other girls and without fail, I would always hear about her fighting someone over him. So in essence she was young and dumb as was he. That's basically all this messed boiled down to. All I did that night at the club was wave @ JF but I suppose that was enough to light a fire under her @ss to make her want to take action and fight for what was hers. lol Please believe that she had him after that 'cause AR Gal ain't want no mo' parts of that mess.

So that's that. As long as I live, I will never forget that night. As harsh as it sounded, it has provided my friends and I with laughs to last a lifetime (I actually lol quite a bit putting this event into words just now). As far and JF and I, ummm yeah let's just say that communication with him ceased soon after this event and truly affected how I viewed dating guys with children going forward. JB and I stayed in contact quite a bit after that as he and I were together for the next 5 years. Perhaps I'll share should there be a relationship theme in the future. :-)
