My name is Sean Allen Davidson and this is my new blog. Welcome!

A few days ago I ate Chinese food for lunch and my fortune-cookie said, "NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO FINISH UP OLD TASKS." I was stunned. I had been planning to do some writing again after a three year hiatus and that little piece of "fortune-paper" really stirred my soul. Then I ate again at the same restaurant the next day and the cookie said, "YOU WILL TOUCH THE HEARTS OF MANY". At that very moment it became incredibly clear to me that I had an ironclad alibi in case an attempt at self-expression somehow brought further misfortune to my already stymied and beleaguered existence… "Fortune-Cookie Persuasion (FCP)!"

I used to write some but then life took me for a little detour. I was released from prison only days ago as a registered sex offender. Now I'm homeless, extremely traumatized by the psychological torture of my captivity, gravely deprived of sleep and peace of mind, I'm being tracked like a wild animal with a GPS monitor on my right ankle for no good reason, and my face is plastered across the globe in the greatest defamation-for-profit scheme in the history of mankind. "Sex offender"… "Adolf Hitler"… Which one makes you most uncomfortable? It's me, right? As irrational as it is, I openly admit that I would have likely felt the same prior to my own unimaginable misfortune in becoming, "THAT GUY."

This is only the latest chapter in a very rich adventure here in the spacesuit (body). The good far outweighs the bad no matter how dim the light at the end of the tunnel may seem. There is so much good that can come out of everything that I have experienced, and that is my only motivation for living now. I just simply want to help other people feel better about their lives. I know what it's like to hurt and I know the regret of hurting other people. I want to help people avoid the mistakes that I have made and I want to help them heal from the pain that they have already endured. God has given me great gifts and talents and I am very motivated to use them in attempting to make a positive difference for the remainder of my time here. It's all good or it's nothin' at all from here on out. I just want to do good things. It's what God wants and it's what makes me feel good. We know all this stuff when we're kids and then we lose sight of it as the world bombards us with nonsense.

It's time to get back to the basics. You know:

• The Golden Rule
• What goes around comes around
• If you don't have anything good to say …
• The best things in life are free
• Sticks and stones may break my bones …

A few guidelines for this blog:

• The details of my felony conviction will not be discussed
• No personal attacks. Let's deal with the underlying issues instead of getting lost in the fray
• Let's be solution oriented, instead of only stating our displeasure constantly
• Be respectful towards other peoples views, opinions, and beliefs
• Keep in mind that no one can walk in another person's shoes.

To those who have shared their lives with me at any point in time, please remember the love, laughter, and the lessons learned. Thank you. If there were any hard times between us then I'm really sorry about that and I wish you all the best. To anyone who has wronged me, I forgive you. You have all remained in my thoughts and prayers, and my appreciation for the warmth that we have shared has only increased with time.

All the best,

Sean
