Independence Day

"The homeless are more free than the rich."
The Chemical Buddha wasn't one of those people who envied the rich (or felt sorry for the homeless). He figured we all had our own stuff to deal with, so why be jealous of anyone? However, if you pressed TCB and asked him if he'd prefer to be rich or homeless, he would reply with today's insight. He thought homeless people have no responsibilities except what they're going to eat for the day. The rich, on the other hand, had to do a lot just to maintain their lifestyle. Be it work or manage their investments. And there was always someone that wanted to take their place. However, if a homeless person could arrange it, they could spend their winters on the beach and their summers up north. They could go where they wanted. They might not be able to go exactly when they wanted, but they had plenty of time to enjoy the trip. Sure, homeless people couldn't afford the finest restaurants, but they could eat out of the dumpster in back. If you're rich and would like to experience the 'freedom' of being poor, TCB would be happy to 'hold' your money, property and investments for you.

Love the Kinks

“Being kinky is expensive.”
The Chemical Buddha was into trying new things in the bedroom, dining room table, on a car hood, in public restrooms, in public parks, under bridges (you get the idea). He didn’t mind being spanked, blindfolded, tied down, or humiliated. And he loved himself some role play. Although he did find some of those things to be a little too rich for his blood. Especially when it only took him seconds to come anyway. So as long as someone else was willing to pick up the tab, he was into any kink that was going on. In fact, he hadn’t already said ‘the best beer is free beer’ this insight could have very well been, ‘the best kink is free kink.’
Do you constantly seek out new things or do you stay with the tried and true?
How does that effect your life and who ends up paying in the end?
