"Love is like getting high: intense, short lived and you always want more the next time."
The Chemical Buddha rarely felt anything as intoxicating as the first moment of love. Sure, there was the instant of penetration (which he loved and was unlike anything else he'd ever experienced) but that high of being around someone he loved was unmatched. Wanting to touch them. Hold them. Hear their voice. Of course, with TCB's incredibly addictive personality, the rush of love only lasted for approximate 12 minutes and 42 seconds. Then he was off to something else. He basically had the attention span of a cat in room a filled with shiny Christmas ornaments, birds, and open paper bags. Eventually, The Chemical Buddha built up such a tolerance to love, we're not sure if he was capable of feeling it later in life.

Like a Rolling Stone
"The hunger for your true self comes with a serious case of the munchies."
Contrary to popular belief, The Chemical Buddha wasn't always overweight. In fact, he was once quite trim. That was before he started smoking a lot of pot and drinking a lot of beer searching for his inner seeker. His journey also set him on a quest to try every type of junk food. He especially liked mixing his sugary snacks with his salty snacks. Today's research shows that you eat more when you alternate between the two. But if you eat just one, you'll eventually satisfy that part of your brain and stop eating. However, The Chemical Buddha was constantly looking for satisfaction. Or, as The Stones said, "I can’t get no satisfaction." The Chemical Buddha was pretty sure they wrote the song about him. Even though it was written 15 years before he was born. He believed it foretold of his coming. He saw The Stones as prophets.
How easy are you to satisfy? Or are you always looking for something better?
Do you alternate between things that seem like opposites? If so, how does that work in your life?

Come Again
“One in the bush is worth two in the hand.”
No The Chemical Buddha didn’t misquote the old ‘bird in the hand’ cliché. That’s because when he said this he wasn’t talking about birds. Don’t get me wrong, The Chemical Buddha was famous for chasing what he didn’t have. Even when he’d just got done capturing something else he’d been chasing. He always wanted the next thing. In general, he got a lot of satisfaction in the chase. But because he spent most of his time searching, his satisfaction was short lived. He found the secret was to hop from one thing to the next, never settling for too long on any one thing. That kept him happy, if not exhausted.
Are you satisfied with what you have or do you want the next thing?
Do you find this makes you more happy or unhappy?
