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?

Longing for Life

“What’s the use in living a long time if you have nothing to live for?”
As The Chemical Buddha watched his parents age, they seemed to lose interest in what was going on in their lives. In fact, everyone he saw over the age of 50 seemed to be mindlessly going through the motions. He wondered, other than debt and a feeling of obligation, why those people got out of bed in the morning? TCB was drawn by the call of new and wondrous drugs and sex partners. Not to mention all the new types of junk food those multi-national companies were cranking out. To TCB, life was good. In fact, he didn’t like going to sleep out of fear he would miss something new and cool.
