What'll you Have?

“The best beer is free beer.”
The Chemical Buddha was often asked, "What are you drinking?" To which he replied, "Whatever you’re buying." See, TCB didn’t have an alcohol (or drug or pussy preference). Whatever the universe provided was what he was taking. He didn’t want to refuse the universe and therefore make the universe mad. There’s nothing worse than living in a universe that thinks you’re ungrateful and don’t appreciate the bounty it lays out before you. Of course, this was also the line of thinking TCB tried to use on his ‘monks’ when he would walk around the house naked claiming he had a hard on (it was hard to see under all of his belly rolls). He would say, "Look what the universe has provided. Who wants to take advantage of this bounty?" Another thing you should know about TCB is he considered not answering to be a "Yes." So if you were passed out or too stoned to form a coherent answer, you were about to be filled with enlightenment (as he liked to call it).
What is your view of the universe? Does it provide everything you need? Or do you think it is always testing you or both?
Are you clear with your answers on what you will and will not do? Or do you move through life being taken advantage of and wondering how you got there?
