How to be beautiful.
July 3, 2009 | 27 Comments

Each year, Americans spend $22 billion on cosmetics and makeup. Billions more are spent on plastic surgeries and elective operations. Since there’s such a huge market, I decided to get in on the fun and create Davey Wavey’s 3-Step Beauty Program. Without further ado, here’s what you need to do to be beautiful:
- Be.
- Breath.
- Be.
And if you’d like to super-size and enhance your beauty, try dressing yourself up with the occasional smile.
Nipping, snipping, tucking or painting are not required; there’s a healthier, more fulfilling and effective way to uncover our beauty. It’s to realize that it’s already there, hiding in plain sight.
While society may define hotness in arbitrary terms (i.e. six packs, blonde hair, big boobs, etc.), your beauty is inherent. You wouldn’t visit a forest and think one tree is any more beautiful than the next. Why then, would you think it in a crowd of people?
Anyway, my point is this: You’re really fucking beautiful. Just like everyone else in the universe.
Practice my 3-Step Beauty Program and you’ll be shining brightly in no time.

Foot in mouth.
July 1, 2009 | 48 Comments

I often tell you that I love you.
However, it’s not entirely true. Yes, I misled you.
Of the many types of love that exist in the world, there is a very special form called unconditional. It’s somewhat rare among family, rarer still among friends and especially rare in relationships.
For example, when my friend Bryan told his parents that he was gay, they kicked him out of their home, their family and their life. The love that Bryan’s parents had for him was conditional. The condition, here, was that Bryan was straight. When Bryan came out of the closet, there was no love.
Unconditional love doesn’t leave room for loopholes or scape goats. It is much more radical. It is dependent upon nothing.
It’s unconditional love for which I advocate. It need not be saved for family and friends and lovers, but rather it is best when shared with strangers, flowers and trees. I suggest making a decision to cultivate unconditional love for everyone and everything in this awe-inspiring universe.
Having unconditional love doesn’t make you a push-over and certainly isn’t an excuse to stay in an abusive relationship or support every decision or action taken. But it does mean that you’ll always hold love in your heart and never harbor feelings of resentment, hate or anger.
Instead of loving bits and pieces or instead of loving someone only if certain actions are (or aren’t) taken, I propose a deeper level of acceptance that makes room for something truly astounding: pure, true unconditional love.
When I said that I love you, it was a partial truth. The larger truth is this: I love you unconditionally.

Honey, I shrunk my reputation.
June 30, 2009 | 44 Comments

The other day, I was talking to someone about reputations. We were talking about strippers, and he made a comment that he wouldn’t want to tarnish his name.
In my humble opinion, more important than how others view you is how you view yourself. If you truly love dancing on a pole, and if feel that it is your way of giving back to the world, then I say shake that ass! In fact, shake that ass like you’ve got no class. Regardless of how others view you, you can be at peace with your actions.
My reputation isn’t high too on my list of priorities. If someone wouldn’t hire me because of something that I do and love, then I probably wouldn’t want to work for him or her. If someone wouldn’t want to be my friend because of the things that I’ve done, the friendship probably wouldn’t be worth cultivating in the first place.
In fact, many could argue that this blog is damaging to my reputation. It probably is. But I love this blog. I enjoy the discussions we’re able to have and the message of love that we communicate. Silly as it may seem, I feel that this blog is an important part of my life’s path. It’s a piece of my dharma. Whether my reputation is tarnished by my online presence seems so relatively unimportant.
A reputation is what you are thought to be, but your character is what you are. When you are true to yourself, the thoughts and judgments from the world around you are insignificant in comparison.
From strippers to bloggers and everyone in between and beyond, it behooves us to spend less time worrying about how others view us (and the consequences of those judgments) and more time doing the stuff we love. Life is short, bitches.

Too much (drama), too much (drama).
June 29, 2009 | 28 Comments
My cousin’s grandmother is the most saintly and generous person I’ve ever met. We always joke that when she dies, we’re all going to grab her ankles because she’s going to take the express lane to heaven. But that’s beside the point. Though she is incredibly generous, whenever someone returns the gesture - and gives even the simplest of gifts - she always replies, “Too much. Too much.”
I have a similar attitude when it comes to drama. Too much. Too much.
When we talk about these things, we discuss them as if they actually exist in this physical world. They don’t. Drama and conflict only exist within us if we choose to cultivate them with our participation. Like a parasite, these things need us to survive.
I’ve noticed that often the most outspoken opponents of drama are the biggest cultivators of it. I’m sure you know people like that (::cough:: Perez Hilton ::cough:: John & Kate Plus 8 ::cough::). By pushing back against drama, one can only make it stronger. Instead of fighting back, I recommend a more subtle route.
We can turn off drama and conflict by removing ourselves from it. We can make decisions to avoid situations, people and relationships that will likely lead to conflict and drama. If those situations, people or relationships are unavoidable (though I can’t think of an unavoidable relationship), we can practice defenselessness and surrender.
Though the ego wishes to defend your reputation, perspectives and opinions, it’s not a requirement. Your true value as a human being isn’t determined by the number of people that agree with you or share your opinion. Your true sense of worth isn’t dependent on you winning a fight.
If a conflict arises, you always have the choice to remove yourself from it. Better than trying to bend someone to your will is living in a world filled with pervasive peace.
Otherwise, it’s all too much. Too much.

7 steps to make your dreams come true.
June 28, 2009 | 47 Comments
Manifesting my dreams is one of my favorite pastimes. Over the last few years, I’ve boiled the process down to a few simple but powerful steps.
Before you get started, keep in mind that you’ll only be able to manifest those dreams that are aligned with the “desires” of the universe. Of course, the more conscious you become, the more likely it is that desires match those of the universe. If you’re unable to manifest your dreams, trust that there is something even more fantastic in store for you.
And that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
- Write down your desires. Most of us know what we don’t want, but rarely do we focus on the things we’d like to have or experience in our lives. Create a “dream list”.
- Visualize the fulfillment of your desires. Go through each item on your list and see yourself experiencing the manifestation of each dream. Taste, smell, feel, hear and see it. Make it as real as possible.
- Get really fucking excited. Feel the excitement and energy build as you know that your dream is being manifested.
- Express gratitude. In many ways, your life is already a dream come true. Expressing gratitude and being thankful for your life helps keep you in an empowered state-of-mind.
- Seize opportunities. Making your dreams come true is about more than wishful thinking. Each day, be aware of the open doors around that may lead to the fulfillment of your desires. For example, one of my dreams it to travel to Australia. As such, when I heard about a contest to visit Australia for 6 months, I applied. I didn’t win. But at that time, I was aware that the contest might be the opportunity for which I had been waiting.
- Be patient. Trust that when the time is right, your dreams will come true if they are aligned with the universe. If you don’t know how to be patient, click here.
- Remember that you deserve it. As a child of the universe, no one deserves whatever it is that you want any more than you.
Following my own advice, here’s my current dream list:
- Spend one month traveling somewhere exciting this winter.
- Have the majority of my income come from advertising/workout videos/my blog.
- Visit Australia.
- Serve of the Board of Directors of a charity.
- Eat more sushi.
- Host a LIVE workshop to help people change their lives.
- Write a book.
What are your dreams? Take the first step by writing your “dream list” in the comments. I’ll give three lucky commentators my complete Lifework Workshop Series!

Gayer than Christmas…
June 25, 2009 | 39 Comments
It feels like the build up to Christmas - and ironically, it’s the only thing gayer. The air is thick with anticipation, testosterone and cheap cologne.
This weekend is, of course, Toronto’s pride. The gay pride parade is this Sunday.
And each day, the city gets a little bit gayer. On a scale of 1 to 10, the current level of gayness is about a 28.3. That’s like a fanny pack containing a butt plug and Streisand tickets. In fact, I don’t know how things could get any gayer. But no doubt, they will.
Three-story tall rainbow flags wave from buildings, streamers and decorations hang in doorways and from windows. Drag queens in 8-inch heels are more common than squirrels. And the unrelenting sounds of disco beats play in the background. I’ve never experienced anything like this.
While it’s a time to celebrate our achievements as a movement, it also seems like a time to celebrate the flesh. I’ve never seen so much skin! It makes my youtube channel look like child’s play. The amount of cruising and eye-fucking is unbelievable. If there was such a thing, these streets would be covered in eye-semen.
In all honesty, it’s with great curiosity and a little terror that I’m experiencing this Pride. While I consider myself quite hard to rattle, I’m a bit shaken by the unfolding scene, over-the-topness and penetrating stares. And I think that’s a good thing. It’s a lot easier to grow when you’re outside of your comfort zone.
Will I die of over-exposure to gayness? Will God smite Toronto à la Sodom and Gomorrah? Will there be enough cheap cologne to go around? Stay tuned to find out!
