A Re-introduction
Hello, one and all. As rapper LL Cool J coined the phrase: "don't call it a comeback; I've been here for years." For years, this gay, scary-looking bear was blogging regularly on this platform. His passion and forte was writing about movies and compiling music lists. It was fun, a great time-passer and one would hope, a gateway to a great, lucrative career in fiction and film writing.

It's Okay to be a lil Gay
This is the story of how I found myself. I never really accepted myself until now, and even with as far as I have come, there is still so much I need to fix. That's besides the point though. This is my story of how I came out, how I found out who I was inside, and learned that it's okay for me to be Bisexual. Please enjoy, and I hope it inspires others to look inside, and find themselves too! First, I'd like to share a poem I wrote, called Darkest Grey. It's about the struggle of being stuck, and not being able to move forward. I hope it hits home, and gives you the strength to move forward, and push out of the place you're stuck. (I will change or shorten names of [people for privacy)

Next Year Is Tomorrow
Five years ago, on New Year’s Eve, I was living in Brooklyn but had been home in Pennsylvania for Christmas and though I don’t remember why or how, I guess I returned early. I went to Astoria to celebrate. It was my first New Year in the city. It was my first away from family. It was my first that I ever went out, instead of sat in basements eating wings and playing games and drinking weird old beer and watching the real grown-ups celebrate and kiss each other and hug their families. It was sadder than I expected.

How The Pandemic Helped Me Finally Come Out. Top Story - September 2021.
What better way is there to tell a coming-of-age story than with a ‘coming out’ story? Well, to set the scene, this all took place at a time in my life that was perhaps a little later than the average coming out story - I was 22 when it happened. I'd been putting it off for years, and while I'd had the courage to talk to some of my close friends about it, and what bisexuality actually meant, my family had no idea.
