Last Saturday, I invited you to ask questions in the comments of a post. So, I sat down at the counter and recorded 13 minutes (yes, 13 minutes) of very unscripted question answering for your viewing pleasure. If you listen closely, you’ll even hear my boyfriend snicker a few times. I’m sorry that the video it went on for so long – I totally lost track of time. Nonetheless, enjoy!

DAVEY!
APPARENTLY, IF ANSWERING AS MANY QUESTIONS AS YOU COULD TAKES THIRTEEN AND THEN SOME MINUTES, IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 26:32 MINUTES TO GET TO MY QUESTION – WHICH I WAS REALLY LOOKING FOWARD FOR YOU TO ANSWER.
=]
THANKS FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO!

Thanks Mosaic Dave you are prolly right and I was being too critical on DW. He have every right to answer any or all questions.
thanks friend
October 25, 2010 at 12:34 am
To Davide: I think you’re a fake. You are just here because you’re trying to get your own unsuccessful blog plugged here by being controversial. You might be a good looking guy (there is only one photo of you- not even looking into the camera)but your negative and bitter postings make you very unappealing.
Advice: you can be serious and have deep thoughts and still have the shine and the carisma
October 25, 2010 at 12:35 am
…You have something to learn from Davey.
October 25, 2010 at 12:37 am
De tes origines Canadienne-française, te reste-t-il encore l’usage du français??
October 25, 2010 at 12:39 am
Sebastian,
Thanks for the kindness even though I firmly believe every word I say. I must remember this is not my blog and it is a liberal gay blog. Political incorrectness here is like oil and water. As far as Roger well he just don’t like me, and this is okay.
As far as you and I…I have no problems at all with having conversations with you as long as religion is left out of it. There is no room in my life for any of it. We can have discussions about family life till the cows come home…BTW my parents adopted another child from Africa a little girl her name is Teenese. She is a bossy little girl and adorable..the boys in the family going to have their hands filled with this one. I met her last weekend..when parents brought her to me..within in hour she was bossing me around. She ever told me 4 pennies equal ten cents and took my dime!!! She’s only 4 put tough as nails..good she will need to be…take care
October 25, 2010 at 1:26 am
DW,
I still want my question answered…its a simple yes or no *pouts*
Sincerely,
Hopefully going to boot camp soon *glares at recruiter*
October 25, 2010 at 2:29 am
Davide, I love that your willing to express your opinions even when everyone gives you crap about it. I myself don’t post very often but I do always read the comments and I enjoy reading what you agree or disagree about with DW, and all the other blog buddies that dare comment on your posts. I don’t care what others say about your opinions, and I don’t think a few disagreeing blogers
October 25, 2010 at 2:30 am
I have been reading this blog consistently for quite a while now and I have to say that Davide does add a lot to the website, I think he stirs the s**t and adds to the number of people commenting because he is often so contrary.
In fact as clever as DW is, I wonder if Davide is a persona of DW to keep the conversation going. Or it could be that Davide has a chubby for DW and likes the attention?
Hmmm
October 25, 2010 at 2:34 am
should stop you from speaking your mind. If you wish to stop posting on things you disagree with DW about, then I respect that your willingness to put others’ feeling ahead of your opinions. I stand by your decision 100%. I just hope I can still get your opinion on what ever the topic may be, wether you agree or disagree.
That is all. Thank you for sharing, hope to read more.
Sven.
October 25, 2010 at 2:58 am
Davide, I am sorry you think this of me and feel so strongly that you must diss me. Have you ever ever thought that my “political correctness” and “simplistic opinions,” might only be that from the rather narrow perspective on life that you have. As for masturbation, I think it better to talk about yourself and what you do or don’t do (as DW did) and not make accusatory remarks about third parties. I guess it was rather politically correct and simplistic of me to try and stand up for you.
October 25, 2010 at 3:13 am
Great Talky Blog…. Love you! XOXO -Stu
October 25, 2010 at 3:22 am
Davey, thanks for sharing a bit about yourself. I love how, despite having so many blog buddies, you seem not to take yourself too seriously. At one point you even point out that your life is not that interesting. You let things be as they are, you roll with the punches and you don’t give much significance to things that disempower you or others. Where I’ve found so many Americans to be uptight an unable to poke fun at themselves or, worse yet, unwilling to allow others to poke fun at them. Thank you for your inspiring posts and for the lighter ones too. I feel fortunate to be invited into your life and – although we think alike in many respects – to be challenged to think about things from another perspective that sometimes clashes with my own.
Cheers!
October 25, 2010 at 3:26 am
Whoops… This was supposed to read:
Where I’ve found so many Americans to be uptight and unable to poke fun at themselves or, worse yet, unwilling to allow others to poke fun at them, you seem to take it all in stride.
October 25, 2010 at 4:33 am
For all the people around here who pick up on Davide: Some of you said that everyone has the right to opinion, isn’t it? Now, if you guys would just read and move along and chose to be quiet, all this drama would have been avoided. Why is this noise around here? Because you ask for it!! Most of you would defend you statements if you were the ones I pick on for example, isn’t it? But most of you just loove the drama for what reason I do not know; do you really have nothing else to do in your free time?
October 25, 2010 at 7:53 am
I admire the effort that you have put into your blog and website. You are on a path that is shared with accomplishment. Going over the responses to your work, there appears to be much importance attached into being real or not, to having a certain attitude, the concept of meaningfulness, and also to making an effort to stake out positions and mount defenses. To help facilitate the conversation I would consider employing a frame that you could use to communicate both the purpose and to set expectations. From where I stand it appears that you purpose was to share your opinions, to reach out to your audience, to catch someones eye, and to take actions which could allow a listener to feel comfortable. Was this done in the most effective way however, is a question only you can answer.
As for love, I understand what you mean, but it is not something I would dive into without careful deliberation. For when I say ‘I love you’ to my partner, i am also expressing that i will do all i can for our relationship to work. We are both coming from the same direction here. Also, this commitment to something greater than myself is what gave me the drive, for example, to make a fundamental change in my value system so that sincerity now has a higher ranking than truth. While this may run contrary to the concept of being yourself, there is something I choose to be more important, and that is to be true to myself. By developing in this way, instead of a source of motivation, he is able to be something greater, my source of inspiration, the fuel for the creative spark which brings wonder and magic into our world.
Like any couple we have had our share of challenges. We have both been fortunate to be blessed with friends who are able to support us for they can understand that while our relationship may seem atypical at times, depending on our circumstances, our love for each is the same as other partnered couples. In my opinion success comes from keeping in mind the two things I mentioned earlier and returning to them as needed: purpose and effectiveness.
October 25, 2010 at 8:11 am
That is a wonderful observation Mosaic. I would say that all people regardless of culture could benefit from lightening up, I know I certainly could. From where I stand I keep thinking the grass is always greener. Just don’t make me choose between someone who I can laugh with and someone who I know will be there when I need a shoulder to cry on. Don’t know what the best way to be here is so I am just going to shoot for balance, and everyone else I expect will likewise do what is in their best interest. As long as we aren’t hurting someone else by our actions, I see no reason to feel guilty by doing what is right for me.
October 25, 2010 at 8:26 am
Sebastian, Peter and Sven,
Sebastian you are a politically correct guy. Just how you made. I am not. The comment about the masturbation I was not accusing you of being a chronic masturbator I said you MIGHT be and some of us are not. You previously state to someone “some of us do it alot” I do not masturbate “alot”. I was simply disagreeing with you. In fact I have peeled the banana in months. I do not know what you want from me. If I disagree with you I am “dis” you. Ya okay your right I am.
Peter no I do not know DW I have never met him. Yes its true when I disagree with DW it is obvious to all. But you failed to mention just as many times I do agree with him and I always tell him so. (Bravo!! Eccellente,). Sometime when I disagree with him like the other day I will simply say (Yikes!!!). But even when I say one word-Yikes people will come after me. One thing people fail to notice it is my opinions that clearly some do not like, they always first come after me.
Sven thanks but clearly my opinions offend some and I clearly have no right to offend anyone. So opinions that are objectionable to others I will remain silent. No I do not find DW attractive or do I have a chub. I wish he get dressed on occasions. I have a boyfriend who 100 percent born and raised Italian. I have dated other men that were not Italian and never works out. I am only physically and emotionally attracted to Italian men. Of course the guys from Argentina, Brazil, Portugal, and Greece get my attention
To everyone else,
I have been following DW for a very long time. I happen to have respect for him, even at times I do not agree with him. It is my opinions and my tone that sets some people through the ceiling as if Davide is a monster. I am no monster. I come to this site because it is a decent site not full of smut and vulgarities. I also come to this site to hear other gay guys speak their minds. What other gay site offers this? I don’t know any. maybe I am wrong. I happen to stumble upon one of his videos many months back so I come here.
So to DW and all others that might be offended by me. I will not offend you any longer I will be silent on anything I find objectionable. This should make this place peaceful. I will tow the line. Thanks
October 25, 2010 at 8:38 am
I loved this talky blog. The “raw” unscripted method helps to show a more intimate and real picture of the guy behind it all. I get to see that he’s someone who gets all shy and giggly about his boyfriend and I think that’s nice.
The reason that I come here is to get some “sunshine for the mind”; something that will make me smile and remember that there are many kind, loving and positive people out there despite what you see on the news.
I already have bookshelves and hard drives crammed to breaking with philosophy, history and economics. I don’t need DW for any more of that and if he were to act like a prophet or grand leader of gaykind I would head for someplace else. My feel for Davey is that he’s too much of a lone wolf anyway to be anything other than his own man.
But he comment threads have turned into a battleground. Some people are trying to convince DW to post deep political thoughts and arguments. There are plenty of websites full of such stuff. There are not many websites like this one. Coming here again and again and complaining about the content is a bit like going to the butcher’s shop every day to complain loudly about the lack of broccoli. If you truly wanted broccoli, wouldn’t you take a few steps more to the greengrocers stall? Which makes me wonder if the people complaining about the “meat” on DW’s site really expect him to change or respond or if they’re just free-riding here to promote their own agenda. (Warning: rhetorical question, no reply expected or even desired)
DW’s blog delivers on what it promises, it does what it says on the box, and I think it’s a valuable and worthwhile thing.
In recent months the comments have annoyed me immensely but I deal with that issue by not reading the comments – except when I really feel like watching grownups pull each others hair or when I get curious about why the f*** there are almost 100 comments about a 2-4 paragraph blog post. Usually the comments are not about the blog post. Go figure.
I tried to keep this on a positive note but I can’t really tell if I succeeded or not, sorry about that
October 25, 2010 at 8:42 am
Hey Davey
This was good given an insight to you more and your comments to help other “Good Job” Eeek congrats though i would a couple a month
Martin
October 25, 2010 at 8:42 am
Liam, I admire your passion in defending Davide. I would do just such a thing myself. And as previously noted that Americans need to lighten up some, we also could benefit by considering what a more effective way of responding to those situations would be. I know when I get emotional I don’t always make sense.
October 25, 2010 at 8:48 am
Grazie my opinions do offend…so i just stop offending and we all can live in peace. Thank you for your kindness
October 25, 2010 at 8:49 am
peter,
DW is under my bed…He whispers everything to me…I joke of course…he’s on my lap!!
October 25, 2010 at 8:51 am
And I can say that you’re an ass even if I don’t know you. Now am I right or not?
October 25, 2010 at 8:56 am
C’est une bonne question! J’ai l’impression que comme la majorite des americains (et Canadiens) il sait pas comment parler Francais, mais peut-etre il peut apprendre!
October 25, 2010 at 8:58 am
Erickison,
Guilty as charged. Your comment about the butcher shop was very funny but very true.
October 25, 2010 at 9:05 am
Yikes!!!! Yup I am fake as a noodle…I had plenty of pictures of me on my blog..but for some stranger reason..I had guys commenting that they wanted to “blow me” and “oil me down” or the real good one “dude your hot lets f**k”. Ya my parents loved that one. MiamiDavid I am sorry I am unappealing to you. But your feelings of disapproval of me is like a small child that is spoiled complaining to his mother that the cookies are too small.
In terms of my unsuccessful blog how would you define success? by having millions of viewers? Than yes I am unsuccessful. Last count my blog only was hit on 125,629 times of course this includes all my previous blogs as well.
My blog is set up for two reasons only to defend the Catholic faith, and for other gay Catholics. Thanks
October 25, 2010 at 10:16 am
If that’s what you feel you need to do, go for it. Your welcome.
October 25, 2010 at 10:20 am
Well said Eiriksson. You just read my mind. Btw. the greengrocers flyers are all over the butchers shop now. Lol!
).
I haven`t been commenting much here but i`ve been following the blog for a few months now. I like to come here because I find Davey`s posts refreshing and real. (also, his ab workout is awesome
And no he isn`t my wet dream nor my idol. I just seem to be drawn to people surrounded with great energy.
With your blog Davey, you truly found the way to spread that positiveness.
Thank you!
October 25, 2010 at 10:45 am
YES YES YES !!! Please do this again. Very interesting and more real to watch you do your blog “off the cuff”.
October 25, 2010 at 12:47 pm
LoL it’s like watching those girls arguing on “the view.” ….. I think I can compare davide to conservative Elisabeth! Lmao!
October 25, 2010 at 1:05 pm
A+
October 25, 2010 at 3:04 pm
The length of the Talky Blogs arent a problem at all! The shorter ones almost leave you wanting a minute or two more. Ha ha
October 25, 2010 at 7:27 pm
I thought it was pretty interesting and good, liked that it was kinda long, sometimes they’re a little short which is fine, cause essentially they’re lead in to discussions and your opinion sort of stays out of the picture (sometimes of course you do a follow up video).
But yeah to sum it up, I like this new format, and getting your opinion on random topics picked by the viewers.
October 25, 2010 at 10:33 pm
Je pense qu’il ne parle pas français. Je le parle un petite peut parce que je suis Canadien.
Und ich spreche auch Deutsch LOL!!
Parlo poco Italiano.
Languages are wonderful and it would be great if more people could speak more languages. Most, however, are tricky for English speakers to pick up because we have relatively little structure to begin with and nobody enforces it these days.
October 25, 2010 at 10:41 pm
I agree completely. If you’re doing right by you and you are not infringing on another person’s rights then by all means do it and feel good about it. If other people don’t like it that’s their problem to sort out. The only purpose guilt and shame serve are to allow others to control your thoughts and actions. They’ve been bred into us by our parents, our faiths, our societies do that we feel badly acting outside the norm. They are useless things except in creating columns of automatons. I say be yourself, do as you please, and be proud of it.
October 25, 2010 at 10:53 pm
I think you should reconsider your answer about losing someone to drugs. Alcohol is a drug, and you’re doing your buddies a terrible disservice by perpetuating the misconception that it isn’t.
October 25, 2010 at 10:55 pm
Davide, you wrote:
clearly my opinions offend some and I clearly have no right to offend anyone.
Your opinions do not offend anyone. You state your opinions and people take offense. They choose to react to what you’ve said. You have as much right to write anything you want here. As much as people may disagree that’s their problem. They can find a way to deal with their resistance to what you have to say. Inevitably someone will take offense to something we say. It just so happens you’re posting on a blog with some extremely sensitive people who see things differently than you do. I don’t always agree with you; even when I do I definitely wouldn’t say some things the ways you do. But I’m not you and I respect your right to express yourself in a free and open medium. You seem like a god person at hear and, as you’ve said before, if we were all together instead of staring at separate computer screens we would likely all be great friends. We all have much to learn from one another.
Addio!
October 25, 2010 at 10:57 pm
That should have read *GOOD person at HEART* in my previous post
October 25, 2010 at 11:11 pm
Je crois aussi qu’il ne parle pas français, ses grand-parents ou arrière-grand-parents sont Québécois mais rendu à sa génération, il y a peu de chance qu’il parle français.
October 26, 2010 at 9:13 am
Hi Davey, Love you too, really do, you are so SWEET !
Anyway, I liked the answereing questions blog and have a question for you : what equipment do you use to make your talky blogs ????
P.s. You said women would be suspicious of a bisexual guy, suspicious that he was really gay. Not me, I have found that bi men are better lovers, better with me in any case, from an emotional point of view, but also technique.
There are men who don’t like women, some of those men are straight, some are gay, I try to avoid them.
It’s true there are men, gay or bi, living a straight life with a female companion or wife and that’s awful for the woman. Not because the man is bi (which wouldn’t exclude her), but because the man is not being honest, not being himself and so not loving.
To sum up, there are human beings who don’t like women, some are male, some are female, some are straight, some are gay…
There are also Humans that don’t like men.
October 26, 2010 at 9:55 am
Just EXCELLENT! You’re amazing. Part 2 please!
October 26, 2010 at 1:18 pm
i would find it really hot if my boyfriend was bysexual

October 30, 2010 at 9:54 am
Davide,
I just want to say I`m really sorry for the hurtful and childish things I said to you.
I`m really not that person.
I was just going through some tough times with my friend and probably mostly myself and I took it out on you.
We`re all here to learn and grow from this blog site.
So let`s keep this a happy place:)
Peace and love
November 1, 2010 at 3:10 am
Hi Davey, I though as you would know Canada the best I want to ask you where is the best place/city to live in Canada is. Im from New Zealand and would love to emigrate. Please help me decide.
Thanks a million.

Ignore any such nonsense that you can’t like both.
