The Night I got raped and beat

This type of stuff always happens to me. I’m not complaining one bit. It’s all in good fun but it is just amazing to me how everything centralizes on me. I guess I’m just asking for it. Whatever, it makes for good times.

 

I received a phone call today that made me think of that night. “That” night would go down as the quickest cleverest execution I would ever pull off. At my own cost…

 

Timmy Pot Poo and I go back years. When this story took place, we had been good friends for over 17 years.  He and his wife had a house in the same addition as my parents so when I would come home from college every now and then I would go over and stay up with TPP and drink all night.  Majority of the times, it would be the two of us and others here and there, but all and all, a pretty close circle.  We would sit in TPPs garage, drink, talk funny stuff, talk man stuff, drink more, then when good and plowed, I would typically do something stupid with one of his sons’ toys.  It was the kiddy car this night.  I once again found myself squeezing into a Lil Tykes car (you know, the ones that are red with the yellow roof.)  This was always humorous; it just so happened that this night TPP documented it via camcorder. As this part of the evening concluded, the interesting part was only about to begin…

 

TPP had this neighbor. She wasn’t your typical middle-aged mother.  Hot, blonde, and a body milk couldn’t even do.  As usual we had the garage door open, more less an invitation to people driving by that yes, we are up still, and yes, you may hang out.  Neighbor came wandering over around bar time drunk and goofy (yay) with a young guy (boo) and a friend (yay) who had a face that rivaled the end of days (…). TPP and I continued on how funny we’ve been all night and told stories that they typically found hilarious.  They thought I was awesome. I thought hot neighbors chest was awesome. Hot neighbors friend started showing how she thought I was awesome. TPP found this awesome. There was just too much awesome in this confined area for any given night.

 

Something was about to give.

 

A little after three in the morning, TPP was close to heading to bed, hot neighbor did the stereotypical yawn followed by a look she gave to young guy that I caught as she was saying “let’s say we go to bed and I make a man outta ya”.  Ug-o looked at me.  I looked for the hidden camera. [Note: ok guys, here is a little visual information that can help you in desperate times. After identifying how your drunken curve is situated you may begin to mathematically figure when you should call it a night.  The level at which “bad news” progresses is an infinite constant. Here is an example of mine. Take note of my drunken curve. This drunken curve represents how I can drink for a long period of time without feeling a change, but when I do feel the change, the bottom completely falls out.  When the intersect is established, this is the point where you would find it in your best interest to quit].

Ug-o had told me, to meet her between the houses because she had something to ask me. If sober, I would have figured this out. Unfortunately, I wasn’t.

On the side of the house she was dropping lines about “how attractive I was”, how I “turned her on” and asking me if I would “do her”. I held my ground rather well, even as she was trying to force her hand down my pants. I focused on diverting the conversations to other topics that would lower my chances of getting laid… Yeah I said it, quote me “I focused on diverting the conversations to other topics that would lower my chances of getting laid”.  This began to work. The night was gonna finish with me on top…

But then the conversations never ended. Time passed quicker, I drank more, and as soon as I knew it, I was tired. Even though I live in the same neighborhood, I still lived 5 blocks away or so. 30 minute walk. At this time in the night 95% of guys would have done the same thing I did. “Can I just crash in your friend’s house?” I slurred. She laughed and said of course. Little did I realize that I had gone from follower to leader to prey.  She led me into the house and back into a bedroom. The bedroom was obviously a little boy’s room. Action figures and other male children toys strewn about the room with a full size bed decked up in some superhero or something. I didn’t care. I lost my shirt, put all of my belongings into my hat, kicked off my shoes and collapsed on the bed.  The following events are completely true down to the details.

 

Ug-o walks into the room not soon after I fell asleep. I was awakened to the tsunami wave she made the bed perform upon falling onto it.  I was too tired to be pissed so I moved closer to the edge of the bed and passed back out.  I was awoken again to her rolling me on my back and straddling me. “What are you doing? I’m trying to sleep!”  “Fuck me right now boy!”

 

 

Oh… My… God… Officer I’d like to report a missing persons. Their names? Dignity and Self-respect.

 

 

“Get OFF of me!”  I push her off of me.  I’m panicking because… Well why wouldn’t I be!? I woke up to someone on me screaming for me to do them.  Still gasping for air “What are you doing?”

 

Then my situation went from bad to catastrophic.

 

“IT’S BECAUSE I’M HEAVIER THAN OTHER GIRLS ISN’T IT!?”

“IT’S BECAUSE I’M OLDER ISN’T IT?

 

She began to hysterically sob. I assumed by me being nice to her would shut her up and I could return to dreamy dream land.  I lie and tell her no, that’s not it and pat her on the back.  Uh oh. I just made physical contact. Here we go. She shoves me on my back and in one fluid like (haha) move is on top of me with my arms under her knees. I’m pinned. But then Ug-o begins to transform. From “feel guilty for me” to “this is your fault”.  She begins to gorilla punch me in the chest and scream nonsense at me. I could catch “love her” and an overabundance of “whys”.  Now I’m in survival mode.

 

It is now almost 5 a.m. I am in an 8 year olds bedroom (no the kid wasn’t home) with a fat old lady on top of me, walloping me and screaming at me because I won’t have sex with her. She is sex grinding my crotch, hitting me in the chest, and screaming at me… AND not in a good way.  

 

“OKAY OKAY! I’ll have sex with you! Stop!”

 

“Really? *sniffle* Good! You won’t forget this mother fucker!”

 

I tell her to go wash her face in the bathroom, clean up and come back in here.  I have to think quickly. 

 

 

[In college I learned something that is honestly so very true. NEVER HAVE SEX WITH AN EMOTIONAL DRUNK GIRL. That’s all. Why? Because when the girl wakes up embarrassed about her own drunken sluttish actions, she tends to cover it with “I was raped”. It happens on a weekly basis. It keeps her “good name” and tarnishes your reputation.]

 

 

Somewhere around hearing the bathroom door shut, and the water faucet turning on I ran.  I ran oh so hard. I ran on instinct. Animal instincts. I tore through the unfamiliar house in pitch black with no flip flops, and all my possessions still in my hat as quiet as a ghost. I flew out of the garage door. Took one look over to TPPs house, decided sleeping on his front porch runs a risk of Ug-o finding me. I understand that Ug-o could have called the police in a move to cover her actions. I took one look north, a deep breath, and a full on sprint. I ran 5 blocks. Every time I thought I saw headlights, I dove into bushes. I ran what was around a mile in less than 10 minutes. Easy.  That night I slept in the living room by the bay windows just in case I saw Ug-o searching for me like a lost dog.

 

 

2 months later I am at my familiar watering hole talking to all of my bar buddies and laughing it up. Hot neighbor walks in. I swallowed deep and approached her because it was easier to get it out of the way. While approaching her, she turned, took one look at me and almost had a seizure laughing. Before I could say anything she said “My friend thinks you’re cute”. 

 

“Fuck your friend”…

The Ft. Smith Gay Bar Story

The following events took place April 21st 2006 in Ft. Smith, Arkansas.  I want to thank Amy for reminding me that no matter what river life puts in front of me, I will always caulk the wagon and float…

I remember alot of this night. But if you were there and you care to add on be my guest.

My college fraternity hosts a gala every year for all undergrads, alumni, and other chapter members are welcome to attend. This gala is a formal awards banquet. Most of the time this event is held in Oklahoma. MOST of the time. You see, our chapter has this problem with hotels not allowing us back the next year because of silly things like, broken furniture, puke in the fountains, elevator parties, and their inconsistancy of actually booking us in a block arrangement. (Scattering us about rather than putting us all on one floor.) So when then idea of “6 point beer” and “bars open til morning” added itself as a contestant we decided that Ft. Smith was the most intellegent solution.  

At the time I was dating “the Ex”. The whole way there we fought, argued, yelled, and basically did all except beat each other.  Upon arrival I hit the liquor store up cause quite frankly, it was gonna be “one of those nights”.  We settle into our room, get changed, argue, I chug Mickeys and watch hotel t.v. while I get criticized for “being too nonchalant” and “passive”. I continue to blow her off and zone into the t.v.

Dinner arrives, as does 40 “trying to hide it” drunk couples. We all rape the bar and throw our faces into the food like it was our last meal. I am sharing a table with my best friends and we all are pretty good off, meaning the ex and I were acting civil and laughing together. The ceremonies, as predicted, started out smooth and as time passed, everyone became more intoxicated and willing to give thir best Oscar speeches at the podium.  This meant that the speeches went from “I love this fraternity and I will give my all to watch it thrive in the future” to “I juss wanna thankk god and HEY fuck you cherry, i sheee yous flippin mes off back theree.. I’m gonna jam thisss damn trophy up yours fuckin az”…

The banquet ends and this is usually the part where all the guys run around shirtless in bowties and the girls have their hair all done up and small skimpy clothes on. Not I. I wear soccer socks, house shoes, swim trunks, and a black tshirt reminding you to “fuck milk got beer?”  Here so begins my demise.
I start by deciding to knock door to door, just to shop in everyones personal shot collection. Some rooms have jager, some rooms have soco, etc. etc.  As the ex and I walk by the pool I come to the conclusion that for one, “pools contain water.”  I was right!

The ex and I jump in screaming in the middle of the hotel around midnight. We raise all this hell and all everyone of the couples could do was to open their doors and cheer us on.  Then the law reared their ugly face.  We booked it up to the room. BUT not before I took my defining picture that was my best Jim morrison impression.

 We head back to the room with 3 others, ex and I included and progress into our shots and screaming off the outfacing balcony. Then I notice it. A random mexican heritage gentleman stumbling the streets.  “HOLA!” I yell. He waves like a drunk (a universal “I’m cool” gesture) so I wave him up. Everyone in the room shits… “What the HELL are you doing?” or “He’s gonna kill us!” was echoing thoughout the room. I don’t care. This guys legit you all. He enters.
Me- Hola! Habla Ingles?
Him- No. [points at himself] Alejandro!
Me- Matt! How cool! Cerveza?
Him-yayyy

[From this moment on, I am going to explain what happens. Note I was very drunk and did not catch on so quickly]

We continue to play music while everyone in the room is keeping one eye on my random foreign friend as we slam shots of Comfort and play air guitar. Alejandro then points at my chest and gives me the “flex” gesture. I comply. Alejandro tries to out do me. I smell a challenge abrewin. We continue flexing and all in all acting like body builders while everyone in the room stares at us in utter disbelief.  I know they are all laughing but I can still tell that they know something I don’t.

Everywhere I seem to sit, Alejandro sits right next to. No big deal, he is just shy to everyone else yet, I mean c’mon, I feel like I’m sittin in a room full of degenerates that will not accept my outside friend.  Ozzy Osbourne comes on the radio.  I stand up and give a much needed face melting guitar solo. Alejandro slaps my ass and says “Ossi Osborn, yes?” This is the ice breaker. Everyone in the room has just moved from Defcon 3 to Defcon 2. Alejandro proceeds to keep slapping my chest and speaking very fast broken spanish and laughing. I assume he is saying “yeah dude! You freaking rock!” in reality however it’s more on the lines of “i got a roofy and a dumpster with your name on it pat’na”.  I than remember that bars are open late in these neck of the woods.

The time now is around 1:30a.m.  I am calling EVERYONE in my phone trying to find the translation for “take me to the nearest bar”.  Of course all I remember is cantina. I begin to yell to Alejandro “Cantina Por Favor!” He fills with enthusiasm and rubs my thigh as he yells back SI! SI! I get weiry but soon settle back. “Come on everyone! Bar time!”.

Those 5 words recieved the same reaction as me telling everyone something like “Hey guys I got this dirty syringe! Lets play tag!”  They all knew I was beyond convincing otherwise, but being good friends and knowing that in order to save their own asses if something were to happen to me and I open the door crying at 6a.m. they could honestly say “WE TOLD YA!”  I am grabbed and taken outside. 
Skeet “Dude I’m not letting you go”
Me “MPHHFRUMMPPED DAMNIT YES…”
Skeet “I’ll kick your ass before you go”
Me “[insert collection of rambling and cursing]
Skeet “Ok, but I’m gonna kick your ass”

Needless to say, Alejandro and I set out on our journey.  I, having no shoes, no cash, no shirt, etc. and Alejandro promising me drinks on him. We approach a dark not well lit bar.  There is no beer advertisement outside and to all I knew, this is where CSI would be cleaning up my body parts the next morning. I assume it’s a dive and don’t even think twice.
I didn’t care, free booze.

We walk in and the door guy who was no longer than 50 wearing, I shit you not” a leather vest and leather hat took Alejandros money for our cover charge. I make a small insignificant peso joke. No one laughs. Time to kick it up. [still don’t know]

Some of you can already imagine what happens next because of the title. Screw you, you weren’t as drunk as me and it still seemed legit to me.

We walk to the bar, Alejandro jive walkin to the music. Me admiring my fluid like steps on the mirrors surrounding all four corners. [Still haven’t caught on]
At the bar I am yelling and laughing and everyone in the vicinity is laughing and buying drinks. This guy standing next to me throws his arm around me and announces to everyone that I’m taken care of. To him, I’m his. To me, I hope you can cover this asswhooping I’m gonna run up on your tab you so kindly are letting me. [STILL didn’t catch on]

After 4 or 5 blurry shots, an attractive girl (only one there) approaches and asks what I am doing here.  I just tell her “My new buddy said he’d cover me in here so I agreed to come up”. She laughs and tells me she “knew I didn’t fit in”. I take this as an insult. Like I’m not ”Ft. Smith” enough for these d-bags? Whatever you’re like the only cute girl in here. Lets do shots. [Nope, not yet]
I soon have to pee cause thats what you do when drinking as much as I did.  I cannot distinguish which is the mens room and which is… this other room.  I choose the one all the fellas are walking into. I pee, I crack urinal jokes, guys laugh, I feel awkward stares, I ignore this awkwardness with the thrill of more free drinks. I walk out. [not yet… but getting warmer…]

At the bar I ask cute girl to dance.  The inside of this bar reminding me of somthing you would see in Studio 54. Mirrors, poles, platforms, lights, me not wearing but a pair of swim trunks.  She tells me to go on alone, she will cheer for me. I do what drunk Matt does. I find the object that will divert the most attention to me, and I exploit it.  This being a 12 foot pole in the middle of the bar. I start dancing. Yeah.. I did.. The DJ even played a song for me. I would have remembered the song because of the meaning it held today, but I didn’t care. I was retarded drunk. Hell I could have probably had a brain aneurysm if I would have had to tie my shoes.  

In my life I have done some amazingly stupid things. I have learned my lesson from a vast majority, and as I get older I look back on my lessons.  But one stands out in my mind that I wll never forget…
 Twirling on that pole, guys were standing around the platform and yelling at me
[Still didn’t get it]
Some guys were reaching up and tugging at my trunks.
[Still didn’t get it]
I notice while spinning that 2 MEN are making out in the corner
[Odd.. But still didn’t get it]
I am being called girlfriend…
[Why? I’m not a girl? I don’t get it?]
As I spin 360’s on the pole I am getting a good view of the whole bar, and then it happened.  I noticed the lacking numbers of the “female genre” in the establishment.  Out of all the times I should have bit my tongue in life, I didn’t.

“Hey y’all! WHERE’S ALL THE PUS…..”
[oh…. no….way…. ]
Faster than the knife swipe from O.J. it hit me. I am in a total gay bar.
Over 40 reasonable excuses to notice this.. and I find out. At 2:55am.

Imagine this.  Flock of Seagulls “I ran so far away” playing. Me in trunks.  Downtown Ft.Smith. Running and looking for a Howard Johnson sign. Whimpering.

I got back around 4a.m. everyone asleep. I wake the ex up.

“Babydoll, I just got tricked into an all night gaybar by a 30 year old mexican that couldn’t speak english and I almost died.”

“Serves you right. I hate you”.
