April has passed and the White Party is over, so now we begin… May is the starting month of the homo-hoedowns, the parties, parades and revalries that take place up and down the state. I love a good party and we love to dance till we drop—even at my age—yes I can still dance bitches! [...]
by joel martens I love spring. When I was a kid, that first pop of green that asserted itself after the long cold winters in my home state of Wisconsin was beyond description. The winters were brutal back there and even as a resilient kid of the north who would play outside even when the [...]
March rolls around and I start to think of all things green… St. Patrick’s Day and the proverbial wearin’ o’ the green was a big deal for my family, since my grandfather was an Irishman (kind of the size of a leprechaun too—it’s a family trait that I gratefully missed), we were required to toast [...]
~ by Joel Martens This time of year comes around and for some, the romantic in them blossoms—for others the crabby cynic arrives. Which one will you be? The temptation when you’re single is to dismiss the holiday in its entirety—sort of a “bah heartbug” to the whole thing. But, is that the best course [...]
Is it possible that the world we understand and know will come to and end? Personally, I don’t mean to say that I agree with the concept of the world going to go out in a horrifying ball of fire. I do however like the idea of something ending and changing, being on the verge [...]
Have you set yourself up for a great ride? There are so many things that can happen during the holidays to derail your best intentions—we all work to enjoy the season but it can be challenging at times. Family dramas usually become that much more intense as we reconnect. Try as we may, it can [...]
by joel martens It’s the one thing in life that we have absolutely no control over—the fact that time passes. You can fight the concept, rail against its occurrence, work to not let it show in your life and on your body, but girlfriend there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it. I [...]
by joel martens Well, here we are again, it’s the end of another season and I find myself thinking about things ending and beginning. Time passes and sometimes the speed at which it moves is a little alarming. When I pause to think about the fact that I have lived in California for 16 years, [...]
by joel martens I am pondering this month, the concept that if we could spend a little more time looking for the commonality in all things, we would be in a much better place. I was disturbed by the rancorous debate that occurred over the last month in our nation’s capitol. Not because of [...]
So many things happen in our day-to-day lives, it’s easy to miss or underestimate the significance of moments that show a categorical shift in reality. Small advances occur and seem of no consequence—but they are not. To many, the marriage debate represents a non-ending series of defeats in the struggle to move us forward [...]
