Hello beautiful people! I know y'all have missed me, don't lie! This hiatus has taken far longer than I intended and I still have yet to find work.

Over the past couple of months, however, I made a very special discovery: I lost touch with who I am and what really makes me tick. Having comes to terms with this, I've had to rediscover my true passions and long gone ambitions(I'll explain what sparked all this in due time).

When I made the move to OnSugar, I began with the thought of "Pretty Things for Pretty People" and, recently, that idea makes me sad. Not the idea on it's own, but, rather, the direction I was taking it in.

When I started Phierce Pholks, I wanted it to be a place where individuals, such as myself, could find a voice they can relate to and initiate a conversation that might change how individuals perceive themselves and their place in this world. Instead, it became a more about a materialistic pattern of thought. Don't get me wrong, I love high fashion and will always aspire to, one day, own my first pair of D&G boots and Dior shades.

While this was unfolding, I made another important discovery: while I love the field of Graphic Design and am a damn good designer, it is not a true passion of mine. It's not something I want to do for the rest of my life. I can't be bound to a chair before a desk, my eyes glued to a screen. I need to be out and about, interacting with people, a part of something bigger than myself.

Before I was put in a position where I was forced to study Graphic Design as a last resort, I was studying in one of the top Musical Theater programs in America. I know what most Pholks who read this will probably be thinking upon reading, "Great, another gay kid in New York City who wants to perform." Honestly, "want" would be the worst word to describe how I feel and it's more than a need or an obsession. It's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Whatever you may believe in, I believe that God has given me numerous gifts, but my greatest gifts lie in the Performing Arts. More than that, I have been blessed with the ability to understand and express human experiences of all kinds in many ways. Through drama, song and dance (and on special occasions, all three at once!). And I'm pretty Phuckin' good at it too. If I had the chance to make a solid career as a perfomer, I wouldn't care if I never touched Photoshop another day in my life.

So what does this all mean?

It means that Phierce Pholks will be returning to what I originally intended it to be: my personal LIFE and STYLE blog. If there are two things I cannot shut up about, it's what is happening to me and what people are wearing! Yes, indeed! The Monday Muse and Phriday Phace will stick around to a degree (perhaps not posted as often for now) and Under the inPhluence will be reworked beyond the scope of Graphic Design, so it'll be on hold for now. I Heart New York holds a special place in my heart and might, perhaps, become a series of video posts!

I hope you all look forward to getting to know me and I hope that you all will leave comments and let me get to know all of you! Let's begin a brand new adventure, make mistakes and get messy as we all become the Phablous individuals we were designed to be!

So look out New York and look out Planet Earth! Jojo is getting ready for his come back and it's gonna be PHIERCE!
