Loose Lips Sink Ships
In this day and time of self-serving, back biting mutha fukas... I present a question to you the blog world..."Whom do you trust" ??
Since I relocated to the great mid-west a few years ago, some questionable (at best) characters, along with some folks with my best intentions in mind have entered in and out of my life.
I was friends with this one cat (we'll call him....PAB, short for Punk Ass Bitch) despite my choice for a name for this individual we were once tight, we would kick it on the weekends, hit the clubs, whatever... PAB was off the chain (I would wish to get into some of the shit he got into) he was getting "hooked up" in vacant offices at the gig, smashing another of our co-workers (at work) and telling me everything, I was like cool, you must be the man especially since your wife works around the corner. His little escapades went on for a month or so until his business got out, the first person he blamed for his problems was me. Long story short I did not tell this Africans business, I was kind of surprised because he didn't check the females he was messing with first. Even after defending myself and explaining to this monkey that he needed to talk to those females before accusing me, nonetheless it all got out of hand and to this day (over a yeat later) he's said nothing to me. I am not sweating the fact that this cat hasn't said anything to me over some BS, I'm tripping because this is someone I trusted. Does this mean I should re-evaluate my trust process ?? I am not one to trust easily, so I guess I let one fall through the cracks.
I have my small circle of friends that I can trust with anything, they know who they are most of them read this blog...I just want them (my small circle of confidants) to know whatever you have said to me in confidence best believe I'm taking that to the grave with me, and I expect the same courtesy from you guys.
Who can you trust, and with what information ?? Who's to say your best friend won't be black-mailing you with some of the horrible shit you've done... I dont think I have one secret that only myself and the good Lord knows, I am an open person, I share info with my circle, I consider them trust-worthy, they tell me things so apparently they consider me the same.
Where should I draw the line with things I keep to myself ?? I need to remember "Loose Lips Sink Ships" I am not trying to sink no one's ship.....and I hope no one is gunning for mine....1

SOmetimes I dont trust my own shadow. FOr the most part, my "Friends" Know certain aspects about me and my life. As soon as something happens im not inclined to run off at the mouth about what happened. I just keep shit to myself. I have skeletons in my closet but I dont feel I can trust anybody with them but me.
To Just Me... I believe I am going to trim down my "in" circle just to be on the safe side..
To Missy... I need to be more like you, less likely to share my sh*t, just keep it to myself.
1… First of all, phuck PAB. It’s his loss, not yours.
Now, a few years ago a guy I have been friends with for many, MANY years accused me of spreading something he told me in confidence. He confronted me about it in, of all places, a night club. We got into a VERY ugly argument that was witnessed by nearly everyone in the club. I finally told him that if he didn’t believe that I would NEVER tell his business, then we should end the friendship and go our separate ways. He decided that we should just squash it and agree to disagree. I’m not sure our friendship was ever the same after that argument. He was in town recently and the subject of that disagreement came up. With a few years of maturity and clearer minds, we finally figured out who actually told his business (it wasn’t me, of course). He apologized to me and our friendship is back to where it was before.
On the flip side, I keep a lot of who I am to myself. I am, in general, a private person. I have one friend who knows almost all there is to know about me. I know that she will go to her grave with what she knows about me just like I will go to mine with what I know about her. I trust her implicitly. Hell, we committed a lot of our dirt while hanging out together in our younger days. I have two other friends that I talk to in VERY general terms. I find that keeping my circle of trusted friends small, keeps me (and my name) out of unnecessary DRAMA.
No one knows everything about me. I don't tell people what I wouldn't be woman enough to own up to if it gets out.
So, to answer your question: In God I trust, only!
To Trizzy...I'm working on it, I got something cooking..
