I’ve been thinking about this blog and how it fits into my life recently.
Since the Evil ‘Speedo’ Company sued me and quoted my blog as ‘evidence’ in the newspapers I’ve been writing a lot closer to my chest and some of my old friends and long time members of ‘SwimmerBoyz.com’ have mentioned this to me.
“Dave – you are being a pussy.”
“Dave, we used to read your blog because of YOU. Your not being you.”
“Dave, sack up.”
It is something that I’ve been unhappy with – I created this blog after a naughty MMF speedo threesome in a sauna in interior British Columbia and I just HAD to tell someone. I had nobody to share this with so I started writing, in Microsoft Word and it was a month later that I figured out how to ‘blog’ and share my experience. Click here to read what I wrote, before I wrote a word here.
This blog is my diary, it is where I get to share my deepest secrets. I share my opinions openly and I allow you guys to rebut and critize me openly and I have published every comment except a couple that were religiously hateful a few years ago.
The most satisfying experience of this whole blogging thing is when I wake up and I have a dozen, well written comments of smart guys telling me that I’m wrong (as I write this – there have been 5,388 comments – to my 1,662 blog posts).
Gets me thinking….
Shit, maybe I am wrong.
Today, I received an email from some ‘vague person’ in Colorado asking if I’d be interested in posting about Obama’s reputation on gay marriage. I don’t think the email was personal because it looked like a copy/paste job to me, BUT it did include my website statistics which were pretty accurate and this person offered me a dollar figure.
The dollar figure is nothing compared to what I make in a week and I ddin’t respond to the email.
My opinion is not for sale AND your comments/rebuttal (assuming they are polite) are published even when they say that I’m an idiot.
The ‘Speedo’ lawsuit is now 12 months behind me, I’m not living in Australia and I’m turning a new leaf……
Dave Evans wants to have some fun – if you guys promise to tell me what you think, I promise there will be no darn Obama or Romney banners on my websites.

I appreciate that when I read your blog that I don’t have to read a bunch of :political” crap… there’s plenty of other places to find that stuff. I applaud you for not whoring your opinion and or blog to outside sources!!!
I promise to tell you want I think so here goes… to be blunt, your blog is just that… yours! Yours to say what you want, how you want and when you want! It is a privilege that others are allowed to read your “diary”… at least that is my opinion.
So in short, I support you.
As an aside, maybe I should blog about my personal exploits that started at age eight, but I’d probably get in more trouble than you did with the “evil swimsuit” manufacturer. Take care.

I’m not very happy with many blogs that have ads on the side, especially when they sort of clash with the content otherwise. I come here for speedos, for your stories, and for the occasional interesting conversations between commenters (though, to be honest, the latter doesn’t happen that often…so, it’s mostly the speedos that keep me coming back!), and having political ads would kind of put a downer on that. If the ads featured Paul Ryan in speedos punishing Romney in a gimp costume, that might be all right; but otherwise, why bother?

Remain true to yourself Dave – that’s the only way to go.

1) sounds great!
2) can’t believe stuff like that goes around. Just shows how naive I am. Glad you said no to it!
