ok apparently this is what happened....dad grabbed the spare keys to move car so he could go to work, used one key, didnt start car, used other key didnt start car, so he asked me what was goin on ( i was 75% asleep so i cant remember if u used the black key or not) but he got it started and moved...

Problem:

now my black key wont work, it wont start it. the tan(?) key starts it, but i cant get the black one to work.... so what do i need to do and whats goin on here....

did he use the red key?!??! That red key resets the ECU and the immobilizer settings so you won't be able to start the car with your black key =/...If he ended up using the red key, then you need to take it down to Honda and get everything reprogrammed again.

haha that would suck if he used the red key and did not know about it, i really dont understand the reason honda decided to include the red key with the car knowing people might use it not knowing that the car would not start afterwards.
