"What do I believe? I believe I’ll have another."
The Chemical Buddha believed that people's lives have more purpose and meaning when they believe in something. Be it in the good of humanity. The importance of pairing French fries with apple sauce. Or the pursuit of the perfect talk belcher. It's important to believe in something. Anything. So while The Chemical Buddha might not have had beliefs around fair play, what is morally right, what brings a person pleasure, how to be socially appropriate, how to treat other human beings (you get the idea). He did have a firm belief system (or life mission) around the ingestion of intoxicants, which could be easily summed up (no matter how out of it he was) in three simple words: "I’ll have another."
What do you believe in?
In what areas of your life are you unwilling to compromise?
What is your life's mission? Your purpose for being?

Remote Control
“Born to watch TV.”
After getting fired from his first vocation, The Chemical Buddha was forced to find other things to do. (OK, it actually wasn’t that hard for him to find things to do, he just did what he used to do before he had a job.) After he smoked a few bowls, he started to think maybe his whole purpose was to just watch TV. Because if no one watched it, would it exist? As his brain started to wrap around this idea, he realized he still needed to figure out a way to pay for the drugs, food, and sex he desired. His ideal was to find someone to pay him to watch TV, but what were the chances of that? And would he like watching TV if it suddenly became his job? He decided that was a risk he was willing to take and placed a job wanted ad in the paper and on craigslist.
What do you feel like you were born to do?
What do you enjoy about it?
