Purpose and Plants, Spotlight on the Sol Food Mobile Farm

By Joe Wadlington On October 23, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Uncategorized

This post details  rowdy times with my friends from Sol Food Mobile Farm. Their whole shtick is here, explained much more clearly and correctly than I’m about to.

 

“And that’s it.” Eliza spreads her arms the width of the bus. After months of waiting for them to arrive on the West Coast, I’ve just been given [...]

Potatoes and Parents, A Coming Out Story

By Joe Wadlington On October 23, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Gay

The Internet tells me today is National Coming Out Day. Which reminds me how comforted I was reading other people’s stories before I became confident enough to make the least shocking announcement of my life. (I am a gay.) Coming out is a HUGE, life-long process, so each member of the LGBTQA community has literally thousands [...]

Seven MeetUp.com Events I’d Actually Go To

By Joe Wadlington On September 9, 2012 · 5 Comments · In Crafts, Love, San Francisco

Meeting new people through mutual friends is so ’99. The internet has thought up tons of ways to put you in uncomfortable situations.  There are all levels of sites, boring and scandalous, that help you meet new people. I find Meetup.com as great way to do something fun in a casual, I only half expect you to be my new best [...]

Open Letter to my Hot Yoga Instructor

By Joe Wadlington On September 8, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Love

Dear Sultry Stretcher,

Don’t tell me you aren’t feeling it too. I’m watching you. You, with your shorts and your shirt, and your deep, honest eyes.

Honestly, it’s a little inconsiderate of you to be here. I come to yoga for me; for my peace, serenity and to justify a gym membership. Sure, I’m overly [...]

Humble Pie, A Cautionary Tale

By Joe Wadlington On August 28, 2012 · 7 Comments · In Emotional Eating, Moving, Pie, San Francisco

My recent move has not disappointed in being an exciting, fresh chapter. And I promise to wax poetic on all my new feelings and Ikea furniture soon. But for now, I want to tell y’all about how many desserts I’ve been eating.

I can’t think of a better way to explore a new city and [...]

Playlist for Moving, Ending Indy

By Joe Wadlington On June 27, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Indianapolis, Music, Playlist

I move to San Francisco tomorrow and am pretty much wigging out about it. I’m all “Adventure, Ho!” and somewhat “This could go terribly wrong and you have no plan B.” Needless to say there is still a lot to be done, what with finishing this bottle of wine and choosing between which cardigans I [...]

Good Reads: “Freedom” by Jonathan Franzen

By Joe Wadlington On May 11, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Books

This month, I was lucky enough to be on a beach. I had a week there, so I decided to pound out April’s book in one, 7-day stroke. Jonathan Franzen’s “Freedom” was my ammo. 526 pages; ready, aim, fire.

So “Freedom” was a really big deal in 2010, when I got it. But then [...]

Crafts for Show-offs: Easter

By Joe Wadlington On April 6, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Crafts, Easter, How To, Show-off

*Instructions below this little rambling

I get extremely competitive with things that are not even remotely a competition. Video games, pick-up basketball, corn hole, miniature golf and other extreme sports just don’t get my blood boiling. I’ll enjoy myself playing, but if you get heated I’ll just start laughing and

How To: Have a Birthday and Not Be a Jerk About It

By Joe Wadlington On March 31, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Birthdays, How To

“My birthday is coming up.”

This phrase is self consciously worked into conversation the world over. If it’s a human you’re talking to, they’ll understand when you say “my birthday is coming-up,” you are also saying “and you need to give a shit or I’ll hate you.”

For some, her/his birthday is “just [...]
