I know that it's not really relevant to this site, but I just wanted you guys to know that I "officially" came out of the closet on Thursday. I'm Gay, and I'm no longer ashamed to say so.
The fact that it was Valentine's Day was actually just a coincidence. My "little" brother, who has been my best friend all of my life, has been living on the other side of the state for over a year, and we only get to see him every couple of weeks when he comes for an overnight visit. I told him, and the rest of the family, Thursday when he got here.
If you're interested in the sordid details, I've also
started a new blog and posted
my coming out story there. I'll be posting there occasionally, and probably much more often once I get all the bugs fixed here on ThreeStooges.net. (Brent's probably gonna skin me alive if I don't.)
Actually, I guess this news is somewhat relevant to the site. You may have noticed that last June I made the comment, "Last, but not least, I simply got burnt out and frustrated, by these problems and by a number of other personal issues." Well, this was the primary "other personal issue" I was dealing with. I went into a severe funk over the past couple of years dealing with this issue, and it just got worse as time went on. It finally hit the breaking point right after New Year's, and fortunately when I searched online for answers I found them. It's caused me to completely re-evaluate my beliefs and finally led to me accepting myself for who I am, and realizing that God
doesn't hate me for it.
Fortunately the funk is over. I now feel free to be myself and embrace life again, and in turn I am feeling much more focused again. And now it's time to get back to work, before I really do drive poor Brent crazy.
