Dear Body,
I think it’s time that I told you something important: our time together is quickly coming to an end.
In many ways, you’re like a new car. When someone gets a new car, it’s important to keep it fueled, tuned up and clean. The better care you take of a car, the more mileage you’ll get from it. However, eventually the electric windows stop working, duct tape is needed to keep the rear-view mirror in place and the trunk is held shut with rope. Inevitably, it’s time to ditch the car.
Similarly, I do my best to keep you in good working condition so that I can experience this world in good health. But, as the years keep ticking by, I know that soon you’ll stop working so well. My bones will thin and my senses will dull, and soon it will be time to get rid of you.
I’m sorry if I’m sounding harsh, but I only speak the truth. I know we have had many wonderful times together; it is through you that I experience this world. Because of you I can see, taste, smell, touch and hear this magnificent universe. Body, using you as a tool has been very rewarding. Remember the time when your eyes showed me Niagara Falls? Remember the time when your more than 4,000,000 sensory receptors fired as you convulsed in my first orgasm? Do you remember the time when I heard the beautiful poetry of Robert Frost? We’ve had some wonderful times together.
Sometimes car owners really identify with their car. Similarly, sometimes people really identify with their body. Body, I think you’ll agree that identifying strongly with any body (which is really only the vessel that our soul temporarily assumes) will create suffering.
Body, you are transient and temporary. I am eternal. Becoming attached to the fleeting creates suffering, and thus, I will detach myself from you as we continue forward in this remarkable journey.
Best of times and the worst of times, ups and downs, Body, we’ve experienced it all together. I am forever grateful for the lessons that I’ve learned through you.
But fear not, as you will soon melt away to the simpler organic molecules of which you are made, you will experience new life in other creatures and objects across this vast universe. Your journey will be remarkable… enjoy it.
Best,
Davey Wavey

This is pretty relevant to me, especially today.
This morning in the shower I looked at my body, and truly accepted it for what it is. I let go of all my insecurities and was grateful that I even have all my limbs. I was grateful for it, and reminded myself that I need to respect it.
Although, I was paying attention to my body, I now realize after reading your post that it is important to remember that my body is not everything. The attention that I do pay to it should be through appreciation, not vanity.
Thank you Dave, thank you for this post, and thank you for changing my life. The universe brought me to you, and I am thankful.

Before your car wears out would you mind having a little “fender-bender” with Colin’s car?
June 23, 2008 at 11:15 am
Thank you for that this beautiful morning, I really needed to read that.
peace
June 23, 2008 at 11:24 am
Puts it all perfectly into perspective. I love these little “reminders”. Thanks Davey
June 23, 2008 at 11:38 am
do u have cancer?
June 23, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Personally,I don’t find that necessary to achieve this kind of awereness and perspective over one’s relationship with the body
Ps. great blog post dave. i love the range of perspectives you offer and the excellent way you put it into words!
love,
john.
June 23, 2008 at 1:06 pm
wow that was amazing.

“Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust into them!
I am more afraid of an army of one hundred sheep led by a lion than an army of one hundred lions led by a sheep!
If I had your body, I would enjoy it for a little while, then I would give it back to you! and you will always ask me the same question, “what do you think of my body?” and I would giggle: well, Some body is better than no body!
June 23, 2008 at 3:58 pm
how is Mr. DD today..?
June 23, 2008 at 4:22 pm
“When I was little”
I thought I had the power to change stoplights.
When my parents were going to get a divorce,
I bargained with GOD,
HE could take my power if they stayed together.
They’re still married.
I can’t change stoplights.
Thank you, GOD, have it your way!
June 23, 2008 at 4:33 pm
why do you bargain with God?
You should ask and he will answer. Sometimes it is not the answer we want to hear, but it will always be for the best.
Why would you want ot change stop lights? There may be a speeding car that would hit you.
June 23, 2008 at 5:20 pm
“Be DD” “When he was little..”
Body dysmorphic disorder: BDD is a mental disorder in which the afflicted person [M.inD.las] is excessively concerned about and pre-occupied by an imagined or minor defect in his physical features.
The sufferer may complain of several specific features or a single feature or a vague feature or general appearance, causing psychological distress that impairs important functioning [e.g. occupational or self-care] or social aspects of life…..! >to read more….!
{S.V.W. = Semper Vivat Wikipedia}
June 23, 2008 at 8:46 pm
DD..I just had to look to see if I had the symptoms. I think if you will read closely you will find that these symptoms match you to the tee. If you saw me you would know that I have nothing in common with BDD.
Common symptoms and behaviors
There are many common symptoms and behaviors associated with BDD. Often these symptoms and behaviours are determined by the nature of the BDD sufferer’s perceived defect, for example, use of cosmetics is most common in those with a perceived skin defect, therefore many BDD sufferers will only display a few common symptoms and behaviors. Common symptoms and behaviors include:
Compulsive mirror checking, glancing in reflective doors, windows and other reflective surfaces.
Alternatively, an inability to look at one’s own reflection or photographs of oneself; often the removal of mirrors from the home.
Attempting to camouflage imagined defect: for example, using cosmetics, wearing baggy clothing or wearing hats.
Excessive grooming behaviors: skin-picking, combing hair, plucking eyebrows, shaving, etc.
Compulsive skin-touching, especially to measure or feel the perceived defect.
Reassurance-seeking from loved ones.
Excessive dieting and exercise.
Social withdrawal and co-morbid depression.
Avoiding leaving the home, or only leaving the home at certain times, for example, at night.
Inability to work.
Inability to focus at work due to preoccupation with appearance.
Feeling self-conscious in social environments; thinking that others notice and mock their perceived defect.
Comparing appearance/body-parts with that of others, or obsessive viewing of favorite celebrities or models whom the person suffering from BDD wishes to resemble.
Use of distraction techniques: an attempt to divert attention away from the person’s perceived defect, e.g. wearing extravagant clothing or excessive jewelry.

wow..that the pot calling the kettle black..
one can not help but feel sorry for a person who cannot carry on a conversation with another human with out first having to look on Wikipedia for a reply.
I do hope that you got my reply last night on anther one of your little conversation in french.
June 23, 2008 at 7:41 pm
God you two sound like an old married couple!
June 23, 2008 at 7:44 pm
no…Allot of times when I am at work I know that I can pick a fight with DD to keep me from being so bored. I don’t think DD cares for me, but I can live with that knowing that he keeps everybody enterained.
June 24, 2008 at 4:09 pm
It’s not very entertaining.
June 24, 2008 at 2:15 am
how the rich enjoy abusing the poor, such an ego boost, such self righteousness, such a devoted humanitarian hypocrisy, you must be surrounded with the trappings of “poverty”, you make all your neighbors seem so empoverish! how can you tolerate such embarrasement for your children in the public school? so much better off than so amny others? believe in the equality of poverty! when everyone is poor everybody is happy!
June 24, 2008 at 7:57 am
hmm seems like a strong victim consiousness and poverty consciousness at play here….. go within and take responsibility for your reactions – the playfulness and humour has an edge of bitterness
June 24, 2008 at 8:22 am
astute…astute….astute, thank you
asutely astute equals astuteness!
thank you, audience, thank you!
June 24, 2008 at 11:58 am
whatever…
DD and I are in love..
Lover’s quarrel.
DD just will not give me any sex.
Should I be upset?
June 24, 2008 at 12:06 pm
What did the farmer say when he saw the chicken running around the barn yard screaming, “the sky is falling! The sky is falling”!
He said: “Holy Sh.t, a talking chicken!
M.inD.las is my talking chicken, he’s a penis-pullit! una avis rara!
June 24, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Thank you DD…
at last you have responded without all that bull s**t one generally has to wade thru listening to your comments.
A little fun is good for you DD.
June 24, 2008 at 1:50 pm
My first true love was a cowboy from Texas, and his favorite cologne was l’Odeur de tarte de boeuf du jour and when he took his cowboy boots off, the emanations could make breathing and consciousness almost impossible,
next his Wrangler jeans collapsed to the floor, and then his manhood stood at rigid attention seeking satisfaction instinctively exploring any moist hairy apperture willing to accept both quanity and quality with the promise of cream filled satisfaction for another month then back out on the range! my wrangler from Texas and a tear! sad tale–he broke his back mounting a heifer! he said I had parts he didn’t need! Intellect??
June 24, 2008 at 4:16 pm
DD, Ever talk to a typical Soviet on the street when Russia was the Soviet Union about that concept ?
Lenin has mis led you as well comrade.
I’m sure you’ll now lambast and bore me/us with a long winded tirade… Hope at least you enjoy reading it.
June 24, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Tod..you must have enjoyed all the above comments. You seem to have read them and let them affect you.
There is a down arrow on the right side of your page, just push it and cycle thru anything you see with our names.
Thanks for your consideration.
June 24, 2008 at 4:56 pm
So many christians, so few lions any more, the Colosseum isn’t the attraction it used to be!
June 24, 2008 at 8:39 pm
Mike/DD; Enjoy and affect are
reaching… Staining IS more appropriate. HOWEVER, this is America, so do as you wish. I just wish you two would take
your “sideshow” somewhere else.
*Go ahead and insult me for the next two hours per usual. Then remember this is Davey’s Blog meant for the many, not the two.
Viva La Resistance !
June 24, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Tod…as I said before..I don’t read everybody’s comments on this blog and you don’t have to.
Dude just skip over us.
I am not making fun of you. DD and you are nothing to me.
People are free to make as many comments as they wish on this blog and I will continue to. I would assume that DD will do as he wishes.
I guess Davey could blog me. I don’t know, but I can bet you that Davey is not paying anything for the server that all this s**t is stored on.
Tod..I would please ask you not to respond to this comment..I have heard enough from you.
Thanks and kiss my clean rosey red asshole.
June 24, 2008 at 9:16 pm
I doubt anything is clean about you, “rosey red asshole”. I’m happy to stop as all of this nonsense takes away from the true meaning of davey’s blog. But insults will beget insults.
PS. You are certainly nothing to me but a stain…
June 24, 2008 at 9:20 pm
But in all fairness, and to end this tangent on a positive note, you are quick witted and enjoyable to read. TRUCE ?
June 24, 2008 at 9:22 pm
no prob..thanks Tod
June 25, 2008 at 4:42 am
well, well, aren’t the two of you the “Odd Couple”, I am jealous, I thought you were mine! what about my “head” problem?
June 25, 2008 at 10:03 am
DD, Don’t worry-He’s yours. T.
June 25, 2008 at 10:16 am
thanks Tod..I really do love my DD..
Hope you are having a good day.
with regards
Mike
June 23, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Excellent, Davey
June 23, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Oh please. As if you are just so old and rotting away. You obviously spend a lot of time on your body and it’s the reason you have all of those cute little twink boyfriends. Wait until you hit your 30′s and you begin to grow hair in places you don’t want it, you begin to develop a double chin, and no matter how much you watch what you eat and work out, there is nothing that will take away the spare tire around your waist. Then you will have the authority to write such an article about how things are slipping away. Remember, beauty fades but stupid is forever. Judge Judy said that.
June 23, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Wow Danny, may I ask who the “stupid” part was for…that is kind of hard!
June 23, 2008 at 5:26 pm
I recall Dolly Parton’s favorite quote: “I’m not offended at all because I know I’m not a dumb blonde. I also know I’m not a blonde.” No one is so blind as he who will not see.
June 23, 2008 at 7:05 pm
more bull s**t
June 23, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Thanks Danny. While I think Davey is a nice boy, MOST of the people reading his blog never would have gotten to know this fact unless he was driving such a nice “car.” Sad, but true I believe. Once the body starts to fade, so will the readership. Who are we kidding?
June 23, 2008 at 7:12 pm
well it show how shallow one can be if cars are the only thing that they look at.
Most people (excluding DD) with a brain like to talk.
June 23, 2008 at 8:43 pm
So let me get this correct, it is O.K. for Davey to compare a young body to a new car, but not for those who leave comments?Perhaps love/lust/obsession is blind – or at least illiterate.
June 23, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Mark..I am glad you replied.
I was responding as to why you think all people are so shallow. I like to read Davey blog. There are not many for gay people in this manner. Most have to have nude guys or pretty boy’s to get a readership.
I realize that Dave is a good looking man, but he does have other attributes that can be admired.
thanks for letting me speak my piece.
June 23, 2008 at 8:53 pm

June 23, 2008 at 8:56 pm
“Perhaps love/lust/obsession is blind – or at least illiterate.”
I think this was intended for me but sorry it does not faze me.
I sure that DD will enjoy this.
June 23, 2008 at 9:01 pm
As I said, I too enjoy Davey’s view on life. I am simply speculating that if he was not so fit and attractive (most people on here seem to think he is) his readership would surely be less. Having lived in New York, Chicago and Boston, I’ve unfortunately known too many shallow gay men in my day (or maybe it is just city folk). Sad really. However, just as with women, if you’ve got it – us it to your advantage!
June 24, 2008 at 6:40 am
I am basically a mime, I communicate best with signs and gestures and body language! for instance, when you notice a bulge in the front of my tight blue jeans it means I think your hot, and I make a half-moon gesture and point to the barrel it means it’s your turn into the barrel, I just love a protesting barrel-boy participant! lol
June 24, 2008 at 2:26 am
Joan Rivers face has seen more knives than Benny Honna. maybe? so much physical beauty is cosmetic and suffering[starving] theres no real interest for life left! how shallow and superficial we have become! I need a credit card to be somebody!
June 24, 2008 at 6:55 am
“and I make a half-moon gesture and point to the barrel it means it’s your turn into the barrel, I just love a protesting barrel-boy participant! lol”
???????????????????????????
June 24, 2008 at 7:44 am
it has to do with the issue of cowboys and pedophilia which is non-exitant in the homosexual community! as the pope announced there are no pedophile priests in his church! Thank you, Benny, we need your reassurrance!
June 24, 2008 at 7:52 am
ha ha…there are no cowboys in Texas…
June 24, 2008 at 8:10 am
There are no pedophile priests either, the Pope has made that very clear, “NOT IN MY CHURCH! thanks BennyVXI.
June 24, 2008 at 8:13 am
an after thought be 4 play: cowmen and snowboys instead of cowboys and snowmen, not in Texas I’ll bet!
June 23, 2008 at 3:24 pm

Today I am truly in awe of you Davey Wavey. This post was so humbling and real that I became more self-aware than I have ever been.
Thank You.
Ciao – J
June 23, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Hello Dave,
I believe your words will strike a chord with many older people.
I also believe that your words will inspire younger people to appreciate what they have, what they are and what will happen.
I’ve said this before, you have an old soul. Some people don’t see it, some people do. I think this is your old soul talking, because your body is in pretty good shape so far and I’m sure you have lots of mileage to go through.
Question! What happens to our inner fat girl when our bodies revert to it’s original molecular components?
Craig.
June 23, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Davey..thanks for the pic
I have a friend that is dying of aids. He once was one of the most beautiful men in Dallas. He made allot of money being a dick dancer and later in the muscle magazines. Davey, I would have to say his beauty was more than yours.
He has matured as a 30′s something person and grew to know the Lord. I can appreciate him so much more today because his beauty is from maturing and loving life as it is and not because of his physical vessel.
I received a email from him that his lover is in the hospital and may die. This has it made me very sad, but I am happy that there partnership has grown in age and maturity.
This article made me think of both of them and know that we may at time have a beautiful physical vessel, but we are God’s children and he loves us as we look.
God bless and thank you for the article today.
June 23, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Amazing . . . every day I coming back home i writing your tags . . . . thats great !!
Greetings
June 23, 2008 at 5:33 pm
a very Buddhist statement. i’ve been a one all my life.. and your post rang all the bells, hehe.
yeah.. it does teach that change is the only constant in this world, so foster the powers of the mind and realise that the there’s something beyond this ever changing, fickle material existence so that the mind may be free of it’s fleshy attachment while being aware of and grateful for all it’s provided during it’s very brief existence.
easier said than done eh!
June 23, 2008 at 6:13 pm
“Got Buddha? it’s nothing without him!”
and then “Got a credit card, you’re no body without one!”
and then”Got Jesus? it’s hell without him!”
I guess for some it’s my way or the highway, very sad!
June 23, 2008 at 6:53 pm
hmm.. i dunno if you’re just being random (which i noticed you do quite a bit on the comments section; not a criticism, cos i really like family guy!) or insinuating that “I” am saying it’s buddhism or nothing.
in case you are, i just wanna say i have full respect for people’s choice of faith/religion/belief; it’s something i’ve been taught as a buddhist from a very young age (no joke!). and i’m personally not that spiritual a person. maybe i am more spiritual than others, but not even CLOSE to some people who read this blog, so i can’t really afford to talk about what’s right and what’s not can i?
but i do believe in a lot of the buddhist teachings because to ME it makes ‘sense’.
and i think it’s very silly to believe that ONLY your belief is the ‘true’ one.
what works for you works for.. and sa long as you live a meaningful life full of more positive effects on others than negatives, more power to you!
end of rant!

No room for GOD there, and I want to believe in HIM! I need to believe or it’s opium..!

ups I mean reading not writing . . . . sorry !!!!!
June 23, 2008 at 6:03 pm
well…I think this is THE nicest thing you’ve written so far.
June 23, 2008 at 6:04 pm
and I also think that you should post more toronto pictures! (please).
June 23, 2008 at 6:15 pm
up until now they have been tilted, soon will they be upside down for the art of it?
June 23, 2008 at 7:00 pm
lol, he is kinda pushing it isn’t it?
i’ve taken a couple of ’tilts’ in the past to ‘funk up’ my otherwise boring photography..
but DW does take it to the next level!
June 23, 2008 at 7:04 pm
I too agree with all the other blog buddies. This post has opened my eyes to so much more. No matter how much we lust and long for the bodies of models we see on television, or the actors we see in movies, it is only a vessel that carries the soul/spirit of a person. A person’s body does not characterize who they are. It is how they utilize the various features and aspects of their body. Everyone should rejoice and celebrate the birth of their body. No matter what your body looks like, or what anyone else’s body looks like, it is better to have one and know what it’s like to have one than to not have one at all. Be thankful people
June 23, 2008 at 7:12 pm
That was awesome, loved the post and not to mention your Pic.!!!!
June 23, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Love the pic Davey!
I agree, power to the soul but appreciate the body and the now because of what will occour in the future…
Peace xxx
June 23, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Davey – what a great post. I was having a really bad day and this hit home for me. I am turning 40 next month (not sure how!) and as I was on my way home, looking at the young people getting on/off the bus, I realized that I am who I am. I have an amazing partner that loves me for who I am, stick legs and all! And as I age, with osteoporosis and other health issues, I realize that happiness is the key to everything. Thanks for your inspiration to life. Sending you a big hug.
June 23, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Interesting timing… I’ve been stuggling with the whole aging thing (just turned 40) and been dealing with back issues (had surgery last summer) and abdominal muscle issues (pulled psoas ) Working on acceptance, working on letting go… interesting journey. It ain’t easy!
June 23, 2008 at 10:42 pm
I feel tempted to write a letter to my body now…a letter of apology, because not a day has gone by in which I’ve ever felt I looked anywhere near good enough to take such a picture, much less post it for the world to see.
You definitely made me think.
June 24, 2008 at 12:04 am
Interesting, to say the least. The pose in the photo is excellent.
June 24, 2008 at 1:10 am

June 24, 2008 at 1:15 am
hey! i just wanted to tell you that i have been watching your videos and the way u talk and express is great, i think you’re a really really good and nice person!
wish there were more people like u! … i just felt like writing this! u’re awesome!
June 24, 2008 at 1:59 am
There seems to be a relavence between a short fuse and a small sized penis and the need to control and manipulate the people around the social gathering, you both have credit cards that give you importance and self-worth intermediate to nothingness and a rich and plentiful Jesus-belief life style, which is “I believe, therefore I deserve the best”! Where are all the poor people? This country needs more poverty to bring it back to its original building blocks of equality, only endemic poverty can make this country great again, study history!
June 24, 2008 at 5:20 am
DD….I have to give you credit on this one.
You made a good point..
how do you say “touche”
June 24, 2008 at 6:00 am
Mark 6:4,5,6.
“And M.inD.las said to them, A Prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own family.
And he was UNWILLING to do any miracles there, except a few mental sick persons he cured by laying his lips on them.
And he was surprised on account of their UNBELIEF. And he went around the blogbuddies teaching,
belittling, criticising in a self-righteous manner….
June 24, 2008 at 6:23 am
DD…do you really think I belittle, criticise my dear blog buddies.
I then should apologize to all if this is the appearance I give.
Thank you DD for pointing this out to me.
God bless

your father know I am not a woman, his closet is very small and stuffy, he doesn’t want to “come out” to you and Mom!
respect that, at least!
June 24, 2008 at 11:55 am
DD…I really do respect you. I don’t think you beleive me. You are smart and funny. You make me laugh and get mad.
But I do respect you.
I never have come out to my mom or dad…did not feel the need.

Nice post, Davey. Very beautiful.
But I don’t think that your great body will start to decay so soon.
Love the picture. It’s like you bathe in sunlight.
June 24, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Davey…Liked your post…photo creative too!
YOU are still young and at least have a way to project into the future! NEW cars become OLD throwaways…and after a few years…
become “classics” that everyone wishes they had…Just needs LOVE and NEW coat of paint! IT’s never too late to work on your body, “fine tune” for optimum efficiency! Respect the BODY, accept it as a vessel you use to pass thru time!
SPIRIT is there to give you a reason to move thru time! …Learned Buddhist ways while in Thailand when i lost my job in 1999(down sizing)…was one of the MOST remarkable Life experiences! Such a peaceful loving people!
Feel NO one religion has ALL the answers…have to step back from Earth to appreciate EARTH’s TOTAL beauty! The Blue Marble!
Religion has been the downfall of many nations! Fighting to convert others…who’s right and rest going to fire! Mideast rivals are family(tribes)

David,
I love this picture. I love your pose.
The fact that you are muscled and I must admit cute helps a lot.
If you were a car, it would certainly be a sparkling race car.
Don’t hurry to sepulcher such a beautiful “old soul” and mind.
bye,

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see’st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
Consumed with that which it was nourish’d by.
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long .

Number one: great picture! Your talent is growing with each post.
Number two: are you really sure about the “eternal you” thing. Ramanamaharshi spent life asking folks one question: Who are you? He never gave an answer. Be careful when you think you know the answers.
Number three: as for the Buddha/God thing; the Buddha never accepted to speculate on questions no one could answer. The important question is not whether there is a God or not, but rather what do you do here and now in this very life, what is Right livelihood, Right behavior, Right understanding. Do no harm.
Be well,

Greg..I am not sure that I can match your intelligence, but I am a firm beleiver in God.
There is a God.
You are right about what the question is but my beleif system says it should be connected to what God is teaching.
with love
peace
