Distugustingly enough I think we might have created it in our own blind egosociatal quest to control one another. Where did we get the kicks to think we could rule? What is the social contract to which I am bound? I woke up to being in a society of pork barrels and lard bellies. To people out for their own gain and their own name, taking no time at all to look spiky with a thorn in their nose to make a big deal over the current crisis. Don't doubt. I'm dauntless. ]]>thinktag:amateurbackscratchers.com,2006-12-30:c15f37bf-2386-4f08-950d-e154e8d9eca1Sean Mahoney2006-12-30T01:10:23Z2006-12-30T22:01:00Z Did you ever ask that question? The deep probing insightful one sitting at the tip of your tongue? Did you ask that fundamental question that shakes the assumptions of all that has come before.
I would have a story to tell you about the time the spit flew as the perfect question was asked of the perfect person resulting in the timeless answer to placate loud minds, but that hasn't happened. My tongue knotted itself to my cheek, all I do now is moan.

“That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow.”
This might be the lead rule?
Is it easier to define life in terms of good or bad? Not which is better, but which is easier? All depends on a perspective individual mindset.
Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. - golden rule Don't do what you would hate others do to you. -leaden rule
all is relative.

I've met a wide variety of people. Two of the most notable were a man that I didn't speak with. He had a block of cheese in his pocket and I heard him utter "I've just awoken to reality." I don't know if he was heading too or from said reality, but where he was going mattered.
The second most interesting bus experiance I've had was talking to a lady named "Trinket" about the Portland sex scene. I wasn't aware that it existed, but apparently these are people who do it all the time, multiples, and "enjoy the fuck out of [them]selves."
While working downtown, and taking a bus daily to work, I started to recognize people. One man, I called the wizard, always had a blackbrimmed hat and a walking stick with a crystal affixed at the top with copper wire.
Is it about the journey or the destination? Both have value, but you can only enjoy the journey in the moment.
I might be scare in updating. I am away from my homebase, and will be spending some time in hawaii due to societal expectation of the time. ]]>Traditionally A blogtag:amateurbackscratchers.com,2006-12-13:999332fd-8689-4140-8c6c-244f38626defSean Mahoney2006-12-13T18:55:00Z2006-12-13T18:55:00Z]]>Be Freelytag:amateurbackscratchers.com,2006-12-10:0c89a13e-4ce9-489d-b78f-b1067aee49aeSean Mahoney2006-12-10T13:08:00Z2006-12-10T13:08:00Z

While wandering the web I've come across "Life" a few times and I've got a question.
Why is one afraid to get hurt after being hurt time and again ?

I would say the national debt is something of a rusty hinge. Thats a sytem that seems to not matter because its gotten so absurd. The elephant in the living room.
Johnny Cash said it best "St. Peter came and I can't go, I've sold my soul to the company store"
Have we sold our souls to the company store? How do we get it back? I know how I want it back. Free coffee. I want to be able to walk into starbucks and say "coffee please" and when i hand over my card it deducts it from the federal debt. I want my money back. What happens when the government goes bankrupt?? When there is a run on all this money? Will the corporations that has helped it become so bloated come in and save it? or will they say no, and take the money and run also.
I want my money back. I bought into a society that's broken. It isn't meeting my needs. What happens when you buy a hairdryer that isn't as powerful as you thought and it couldn't dry your hair. Two options, you wait, or return it. Now, say after waiting for six months (or three decades -nixon) it breaks and starts zapping you. Now you can return it. But returning it takes too much time. You just go buy a new more powerful one, this one drys your hair how you would like it too. But, this more powerful one, when it breaks, it doesn't just zap you, it tries to jump in the tub next time your bathing. oh shit. what do you do?? How about next time, buy a towel.
Question: What does the hairdryer represent? What does the tub represent? Read into it and find your own meaning.]]>Hingestag:amateurbackscratchers.com,2006-12-04:94ce3549-0d4e-4c76-a14a-5ea70a0367baSean Mahoney2006-12-04T18:01:00Z2006-12-04T18:01:00ZDoorstag:amateurbackscratchers.com,2006-12-01:c3d4fd27-4111-42ab-a637-20a156c0fed5Sean Mahoney2006-12-01T12:58:00Z2006-12-01T12:58:00Z How do we go about acknowledging this diversity? How do we show our appreciation? Is it good manners that achieves this task? Is it smiling at strangers? I like to open doors for people. Occasionally these are real doors, but doors of imagination can be so colorful, and wide. The have hinges connected in the most intricate ways. The are painted by life experience.
Every time we think, we have to enter the world of our head. If we think about something new, we have to open one of those imaginary doors. Which doors we open? Do we open the doors to the bright future or the dark past? They are all part of the same house, our head. ]]>The Roadtag:amateurbackscratchers.com,2006-11-27:10f03b09-54a9-4517-9989-41baabeca48aSean Mahoney2006-11-27T22:33:03Z2006-11-27T22:11:00Z]]>Double standards VS equalitytag:amateurbackscratchers.com,2006-11-19:fb3cd0cc-1203-4e1c-a07c-35a0f3c146eaSean Mahoney2006-12-01T13:03:07Z2006-11-19T16:42:00Z How about you put the list on. Because your say is just as important as mine, as my feelings are just as important as yours. As for manners, guys just want the same thing you do. What are manners but a show of niceness? Of you get to the restaurant first, you open the door for us, if your driving, unlock our door first. Guys are guys, and girls are girls. no getting over that. but we are both people(we as is all of us), and we appreciate the little things just as much as you do.
For example, two people get in a fight over something stupid (its all over miscommunication anyway), then you say your sorry by showing it. Yeah a guy can buy you flowers... well get him a football or a video game or something.
I'm sick of double standards. And I'm the one saying it. If women have equal rights they have equal responsibility.
I would love to go on just one date and have the female offer to by the coffee. And then, when I say yes, she doesn't resent it. ]]>Cocktail Partiestag:amateurbackscratchers.com,2006-11-19:7008f5ad-9dec-4075-b41a-61dcc1c348e8Sean Mahoney2006-11-19T14:37:00Z2006-11-19T14:37:00Z So...
