Well its me again and i guess I'm still going through life taking things as they come. But some things are starting to smooth themselves out while others well kinda aren't.
To my dearest friends, you all know that i finally came out on Facebook a while back as well as Myspace. because I'm tired of what people think of me. but today i seriously got to thinking to myself. was this such a smart idea?
I know i have my doubts about a lot of things I've done in the past and we have all done crazy stuff, but i just wondering even though i cant change the fact that I'm gay, why must people be such an ass about it. Now that I"m out i hear the word faggot so much. (sigh) must i become a victim of shame? why do i feel so shameful upon talking to people i care about and looking on their face when i say "I'm gay" and watch them give the perpetual "Oh, well thats cool with me" and then never talk to me again? Is it really that serious.
So far I"ve lost a lot of so-called "Friends" because of this and this hurts my feelings because people always think that i am hitting on them. must you be so shallow? I"m still the same Lloyd. why do i scare you all of a sudden?
Enough of the ranting. basically i want to be treated like a human being. thats all i want. i want to go out with friends and eat and chill and be happy.
Be Happy
BE HAPPY
if you take that away from me. my happiness then you should have never met me from the get-go.

I need moral support from my dearest. please call me or talk to me. i don"t want you to do anything strange. just please be there.
you know who you are. I've been in a crappy mood lately and if I've offended anyone I'm sorry.
this is a message to my friends list. I AM GAY. deal with it and move on. even if you delete me i will still care for you but not talk to you.
Thank you.

            Ok fellas we all know that Lloyd dosent post blogs unless something is serious but strangly i feel the need to post one on this stuff that happened.
       
           I went to the gay pride parade in Chicago on sunday and it was alot of fun. i really enjoy hanging out with my friends alot and road trips will always bring us together. the parade was awesome and we saw tons of things. plus kyle got like one of the worst sunburns ever. but anyways.
             I decided to split away from the group to go see my family. now granted i knew that kyle was going to see his family too but i just really wanted to see my mom even if it was for just 4 hours. so an hour into the parade i jumped on the Red Line  and went to see her.
             I was actually content and fairly happy going to see her but things got bad as i started to enter my home town. i was wearing my pride braclet and people were staring at me. i was muttered Faggot numerous times and i was starting to feel a little nervous. but none the less i prevailed and went to my house.
           upon arriving i got this strange feeling like i shoudnt have been there. my mom greeted me and stuff. but it felt strange. so i said hello to everyone and everyone said hello to me. as i sat down my mom comes up to me and asks me for some money. now normally i dont have a problem helping out anyone, but i really didnt have it. so i told her that. she then told me to go look at the fridge.  there was barely any food.
           now i love my mom to death but i know how i was raised and the tough times that we all went thru. so i gave here $20.  after all we all need to eat right? but she wanted more. i literally told her to get a job.
            after like 30 mins of heated yelling i asked her where my youngest brother was. she said in jail. !What! are you serious. hes only 15! what did he do? she said he violated probation. then comensed on saying this phrase.
"Well we would'nt be in this situation if you still lived here and had a job here in the city. youre younger brother is sittin in jail because he didnt have a role model in his life because his  suppose to be big brother moved away."

            That hit me hard. Really really hard. is it really my fault that they are going thru a bad time? had i not moved, would everything still be okay. there were alot of strange people in my house eating food that they didnt pay for and my oldest brother was actually letting them do it. they would just come in and eat and leave. it was maddening.
              but me. had i not gone to a better place to persue my dreams, my goals, my ambitions. would they have been alright? i just dont know anymore. and right now im screaming inside. i know to help the family is no.1 but still how could she drop that sort of bomb on me?
           Thank god i have friends like Shiu, Kyle and even the guy that i didnt know that well sensed that something was wrong when i got in the car. they tried their hardest to cheer me up. for that i thank them. Especially Shiu. The people who are reading this. please dont toy around with youre friends. Keep them close at heart. maybe one day i can look back on this and laugh. but for now ill cry.

    I've been thinking these last days alot about myself and i have questions reguarding my life. Yeah i know im young, but with all the bad going on what more do i really have to look foward too?

    I'm chipper. That's just me. Always have been. Always will be. But I to, have feelings despite hiding them quite well.
Sometimes i just wanna scream. Sometimes i just wanna burst out crying. but naw. im too strong for these things. Or am i just stupid?

    Well thats just it. I am in touch with my feelings. I just choose not to show them. this might be the reason why im feeling so depressed. I feel alone for some reason despite having roommates and stuff.  See, a few days ago i was on campus and everyone had someone. Holding hands. Kissing. Hugging. and then theres me. Now ive always told my roommates that i didnt want a long term relationship and stuff. Then again i could be cryin tears and tell them im alright.
    There is this complex that i have. I gotta be the cool one. I gotta be the one who never worries. I gotta be the one whos there for everyone. But to tell you the truth, yeah i worry. i got to sleep worrying if ill wake up. i worry if someone will tow my car. i worry if i can make it to work on time. Ya know the usual stuff. but what about those worries that i never talk about? Where do i see myself in 5 years? How do i hold up against other people? How do i tell someone i really like them and wanna go steady?
    Im still learning. im only 21. I have time i know this but i cant do it alone. i need help. from all my friends.
    There is a very special boy that i like alot. if you are reading this then you know who i talkin bout. for all others. yeah i like guys (big deal). I'mm scared. and i dont know what to do.
          Will i ever know?
           Heaven only knows....

                     Well guys its finally comming. My 21'st Birthday!! but as i look back on 20 years of Lloyd and realize that im finally becoming an adult, I ask myself alot of questions. I know i have the friends that support me through anything but what do they know about me. What do they see when they see me? what do they really think. Well quite honestly i don know. but im going to tell you guys a lil bout myself so you can understand where i come from and how i see things.

                       Yeah my names Lloyd Anthony Peters. I was born on the Southside of Chicago. in the Projects Called Robert Taylor. yeah. i know my deameanor dosent speek of it but i came from poverty. it was tough growing up there. fights everyday and stuff. the usual stuff. but i always was considered different. now i don know if i consider that a good thing cuz i got picked on for it.  but hey. im here arent i?

                  My family moved around alot. i cant remember all the places. i think its cuz my mom never had a job. but i always managed to not fit in where-ever we went. so i stayed to myself. hiding my feelings and never talking to people. it was tough. sometimes i would cry because i felt weak. weak cuz i didnt know what to do. how to express my pain and stuff. sure i trusted my mom but would she listen to me? i was scared. so i stayed to myself.

                Being in a family of 4 boys is tough too. even though we knew we loved each other, we would fight. over space. over toys. over petty things. (heh, sounds like my current roommates)

                 I did go through a state of despair and trouble where i had to get a lil counseling to help express my feelings. at those teen years i think we all do but i had to get a lil more so i can open up and stop being such a hermit crab.  along  that path i met Kyle. in a way he was on a pathway to find hisself too. so we agreed to stick together. and we did too. we are best buds and i love him like a brother. (though sometimes he can  be a brat)

                 everyone  knows i like cars. i have always had a fixation with them. the quickest way to my heart is a great knowledge of cars. lol hey im a gearhead and proud of it

                    basically what i want to say is i came from ghetto trash and im prospering with the right help (i thank god i wake up everyday)  and i thank everyone for the help. to those i dont talk to often i still think about you. believe it.

                     im all set. i encourage people to leave comments on this blog about what you think of me as a friend or foe. it dosent matter to me. 

                        21 21 21 21 oh boy. dont know weather im going to have a party or not but if i do everyones invited!!!!!

                               (but someone had better bring the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X that i asked for!!!)

                            any questions feel free to ask. thanks for reading..

                                                               Lloyd.

                      P.S. I MADE IT!!!!!!!

Current mood:  complacent

Everyday i think about him. I cant sleep because of him. I cant think streight. i cant chill without thinking about him. i dream about how it feels to hug him. shake his hand. here him reward me for doing well. yet i wake and no ones there.

 

        The person im talking bout is my father. Lloyd. See, everybody who knows me knows that im a loner. allways have been. but somethings wrong. with me. i miss him. if i can only see him i would forgive him. i grew up not knowing my father. i only know of him. dont know what he looks like.

          If you think this is a sob story then stop reading.

          my mom tried her best to raise me and my four brothers with the best she had. i come from poverty. poor. despair. yet i have always been different. my other brothers allways had their fathers in their life. even if it was once a month theye were there.

          i was always alone. like i am now. i dont know what to say. christmas i allways got little while my other bros got tons.

         its not about giving. its about him being there. it just hurts knowing he knows i exist but makes no effort to see me. was i not wanted? am i a mistake? WHAT THE FUCK.

          here i am in champaign and im tryin my hardest but these last 3 months have been so hard. i feel like giving up and just quiting. i dont know what to do. so much on my mind. yet i hold it in not knowing who to talk to. not mom, she will just sugarcoat things. she wont give me the answers im looking for.

           maybe if my dad was there i wouldnt be here in champaign. maybe i would have a clearer view of life. maybe i would have been a little tougher. maybe i would not feel so sad and lonely. ..

           to my friends you guys have been great and for that i am happy. but there is a feeling that i need right now. i need a dad. a happy family. a full family. till then i will always be alone.
