Living Out Loud with Darian: Year In Review

| Wednesday, December 31, 2008




Well we've come to an end of another year. I'd just like to thank all of my daily readers for all of your love and encouragement throughout 2008. Maintaining a blog that aims to speak to an audience that is often overlooked and underrepresented in the mainstream media is no small task. I appreciate you telling me when I got things right and even when I got some things wrong.


As I continue to grow as a writer and activist I hope that you will stick around and become active participants in my journey. In 2008 I saw a glimpse of the person I could ultimately become as well as the far reaching effects of this blog. I promise to take it to the next level in 2009(*subtle cue to the haters to get ready*).


Take a look in the rearview mirror with me and revisit some of the most popular, controversial, and most linked posts from Living Out Loud with Darian in 2008 below.


I will be taking the rest of the week off to enjoy the holiday with Trey. Have a safe and prosperous New Year until we meet again on Monday!
