Living Out Loud with Darian

I just wanted to take a moment and send some love out into the blogosphere for fellow blogger Marz . He recently won a Black Weblog award for best teen blog for his blog "My Teenage Years".

This brotha is only 17 years old and he writes with the maturity of a man well beyond his years. Marz I want to personally thank you for allowing me and your readers to participate in your everyday life through your blog. You've made us laugh and you've made us cry, as cliche' as that sounds it's so true.

I'm sure everyone can relate to the struggles of growing up in a religious family and the challenges that you face when you're black and gay.

Keep up the good work Marz, we'll all be reading your blog and waiting for the release of your first novel.
