“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” – Marcel Proust
You need not go to Sydney, Toronto or anywhere in between to embark on a true adventure. Just explore your world – right where you are – with a perspective anew. Discoveries await!

I change my eyes all the time (so to speak). Or maybe I just have a wide field of vision… I like to see things from every imaginable angle in order to understand them better.

Davey,
I fully agree with your observation.
Several years ago, I opened my home (and my life) to (late) teens who didn’t have a place to live (for any number of reasons). Since then, I’ve seen the world (or my little bit of it) thru their eyes.
I call each one my “kid” and love them dearly. Some have returned to their homes, some have gone on to higher education, and some are still with me, still in school (instead of dropping out), and still determined to make something of themselves.
I would challenge any of your readers who find themselves stuck in a rut and/or bored with life to open their hearts and homes to teens (17 and older, of one gender or the other – but not both) and experience the satisfaction which comes with helping someone.
I have never been happier in all my 64 years and hope I never have to quit sharing my life with them.
Thank you for the guidance you offer. The comments of your blog of yesterday can be applied to ANY two individuals, whether gay, lesbian or straight.

You are a sick bastard! At 64 you should NOT be having guys that young in your own home and looking after them and calling them “your kids”. They have a family that loves them somewhere and don’t need a dirty old man sticking his c**k in their arses! You sick bastard! You must be a member of PETA – Pedo’s Entering Teenager Anus.
I hope you rot in hell you paedophile sick c**t!

You are a sick bastard! At the age I don’t know you should NOT be saying such words to an old man who is just trying to help those who need a place to stay, food to eat, and a person to lean on. They have a family that kicked ‘em out for whatever reason and don’t need you defending it for what they did to their child. You sick bastard! You must be a member of IGNB – I’ve Got No Brain.
I hope you get some sense!

I agree with you Ezekiel!!!! I guess his name shows his true colours….dinopig…..WTF!? If you have had bad experiences with someone when you were young, Dinopig, go get some help and stop accusing people who are doing something good with their lives.

I’ve seen this a lot. Older man helps out younger one. They always want to do a three way with me. Younger guy gets education, cars free room and board when one of them wants to tell me of their arrangement, I artfully change the subject. Older guy dies of AIDS both are taken care of. Older one has a companion for life younger one gets the house and the investments. Younger guy comes up to me and says I want a one on one not a three so he gets the kids too. I’m no kid but I’m no daddy with sugar either.The only thing I see here is judgemental people who live in glass houses that shouldn’t be throwing stones. Better someone gets the house instead of the State, broke as it is in California I’m not finding it deserving.

I’m kinda here. I’ve got LA, Long Beach, sites of Orange County where I grew up. I used to have my pick of Four Seasons until they closed the one in Newport Beach. Museums, beaches, amusement parks, parks, good restaurants, stellar libraries and gardens. Life is just one big resort. My last trips on a plane were in Tuscon, Portland, Seattle and Vancouver some many decades ago. I wanted to get away to my old haunts in Laguna in the first week of February remembering sunning myself nude on a balcony over the BOOM BOOM Room with friends. Alas George Clooney and Brad Pitt dashed all hope of that almost 5 years ago.

just curious, there seems to be alot of un-answered questions in the comments section of “Race to 2,000 Fans: Davey Wavey Facebook contest.”… answers maybe?

Back in college, I spent a semester in Mexico, 2 months in Taxco and 2 months in Mexico City. Going there I had barely traveled, mostly on the east coast of the usa. I had always lived in suburbs or small towns in New England, and I was studying Biochemistry for a major.
Learning Spanish was only a small part of my experience. I got to see life from a different point of view. People in Mexico seemed to value their families much more than they did back home. The people were very friendly. People would speak English to me because they wanted to learn it and they were very helpful.
It was shocking to me because I grew up in a land that says “if you live here then you need to speak our language.” A very different mind set.
One strange thing was being a white man with blue eyes in Mexico. I stood out where i blend in here. I got so much attention it was amazing. However, it was assumed that since I was white, I was a rich American, so everybody followed me around trying to sell me stuff on the street, I was usually charged over double the normal price for everything, and I was a prime target to be robbed.
I am so thankful I got the chance to go. I’m a better person today for it. And it changed my views on life.

The times we needed to stop a little, to look in our turn and to see everything that we didn’t get see daily. I agree with you when I did that it is not necessary to go in an unknown place to admire new and beautiful things, it is only to seek in our city, street, avenues, parks, etc,
For me that week will have a lot of new thing because of the Carnival.

Eww why does davey wavey looks like a young version of Conan O BRIEN? lmao! conan obrien looks creepy with his beedy eyes….its kind of scary.

Davey…I completely agree with you. I haven’t had a big vacation since 2007. Money has been a bit tight. But last year, a friend from England came and visited for 2 weeks. It was the first time he had ever visited me here…so he was seeing everything for the first time. And he had a pretty good tour guide as I know my city fairly well. But because I was taking him to these places and giving him a dose of the culture here, I was allowed to experience it all in a new-sense again. It was quite neat. During those two week, I rediscovered my own city, and it was incredible. And he left with many happy memories.

My world isnt big enough to explore considering i had already explored it when i first arrived several times besides its only a small town.ive tried making friends with the neighbors but most of them are yobs and they just turn most gestures away… im hopefully going to uni next year anyhow. when im there ill explore what the city has to offer like cheese toasties and friendlier neighborhoods.

Speaking of eyes, everyone should learn to spell ophthalmology correctly.
February 10, 2010 at 8:20 am
Davey, my eyes was changed, when i see you in first time…
February 11, 2010 at 3:34 am
ahahah the same to me!
Davey has so beautiful eyes… he’s very beautiful. And he’s a nice person.
And he is right: we have not to forget for example that the beauty is into our mind; if we don’t have the sense of beauty into us, we’ll never able to recognize it out.

There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. = )

I told my dad the ruby slippers could be had for $200 at the sale of the MGM lot in Culver City. That is now known as Century City. The last I heard an offer for them for over $2,000,000 was turned down. Yeah. There is no place like home. Could have bought a nice one with that. Thanks dad for giving me a more expensive gift that I didn’t want.

Especially with those photoshopped blue eyes…. mouthwatering
February 10, 2010 at 1:55 pm
Davey, have you read Du Côté du Chez Swann? Some quotes, like this one, clearly communicate a powerful message standing along by themselves, but in the context of the work in which they appear, they are even more meaningful. If you’ve read it, I’d love to read a post on some of the insights that you appreciated the most!
February 10, 2010 at 6:09 pm
every day is a new adventure to me, between school, my friends, my enemies lol, everything!!!
I LOVE LIFE!!!
hope you too Davey, & i guess you do =D

Je suis d’accord avec vous
Est-ce que plus ne voient pas fréquemment ce miracle, parce que nous n’avons pas commencé à voir tous les ” miracles “?
February 12, 2010 at 1:43 am
True … plus de vie gay n’est pas facile. Si Formor comparer il ya quelques années le monde a évolué. Pas tous les gens qui nous voient dans le bon sens, humaana. J’espère qu’un jour tout ce que je vois avec des NEW EYES.

This wonderful woman I know does a lot of good for people in the gay com unity. She pointed out a scene that happens every year the time around Christmas on 4Th st. in Long Beach. Limo pulls to the curb a man wearing a chauffeur’s cap hands over a gift basket to a homeless dude. I took the hint from the woman and offered him a meal in a local restaurant. Mike (not his real name) tells me the story I don’t want to hear. Prominent wealthy parents from Palos Verdes wouldn’t even be in the car when the driver handed over the basket.I invited him for Christmas with my family. He asked me “Are you out to your parents?” “No. I think they prefer it that way, but really know it, I said.They blamed their divorce on me in those days, seeing the light of their stupidity much later after they both remarried.”" “If you were still living with them you wouldn’t any longer if you told them,” he said.” Maybe. Probably.” I said. “Now you know I’m not being rude by not accepting your invitation,” he said. “All right then come over to my place take a shower and you can pick anything out of my closet, I have shoes in boxes unworn,”I said. “Dinner is enough, he said.” I had noticed he ordered Angel hair pomodoro. The cheapest thing on the menu, the same trick I pull when someone else is picking up my tab. The kid could of ordered steak and lobster needing to put some meat on his bones, but he didn’t. He accepted the wad of cash I took out of my pocket noticing I didn’t even stop to look it over let alone count it. Love your neighborhood, your neighbors. Welcome to your vacation. I knew this gay kid once who told me his parents would not let him park his car in their neighborhood. That be the same neighborhood were hate seems to follow more in wealthier neighborhoods than not. It is insidious but there they don’t throw rocks at each other but they are more than capable of hate. Both these guys are oddly familiar to me. But I guess its really not odd. It may just be a coincidence or not.You say what is so tough being from a wealthy family? Going from a roof with servants to no roof at all because you’re gay.
