Hello Freeporters, and Happy Thanksgiving!
This is one I couldn't pass up an opportunity to talk about. Freeport High School graduate and all-around awesome guy CJ Stryker has, in my humble opinion, been an outspoken (sometimes way outspoken) leader of Long Island's LGBTQ community since as far back as our days in college together. On November 6th, 2013 he asked me to be a guest on his internet talk-show "The StrykeZone," where I talked about The Weekly Freeporter and hyper-local journalism's impact on people's lives. While we have very different 'flavors' in our content, his show's accomplished quite a lot in it's history.
Well, now CJ has filmed fifty episodes! With the end of this season he's planning to take a break and re-evaluate his situation, but I want to congratulate him. My video message is at the 13:00 mark, but I'll say it again - Congrats! I know how hard it is to exist in a world of social media, and CJ claims the title "Prince of Social Media" with a purpose!

TWF 226: Jesse Pohlman's Guest Spot on The Strykezone!
Hey Freeporters!
I've been a busy beaver this year, but my lady and I recently got a chance to stop by an old Freeport High School Alumni's place. CJ Stryker is a NYC mainstay, but few know of his ties to our community. Okay, that's sort of a fib - he actually runs the FHS Alumni Facebook group! However, CJ also founded Stryker Network Media, and he hosts a WebTV show called The Strykezone!
Having been Freeport alumni, it was a pleasant surprise when we met up at Adelphi University, from which we also became alumni! So, I was even more surprised - and honored! - when he asked me to be a guest on his show. I didn't know what to expect, soI won't spoil it for you -- OKAY! He tries to get me to make comments about former mayor Andrew Hardwick, comments which I artfully keep my trap shut about. He also asks about my writing. Check it out!

I want to thank him again for having me on, because this was an awesome experience. A real pleasure, even if we didn't agree on everything.
