Everlasting Now

“During a one-night stand, you're either cumming or going.”
We’re not sure how many multi-night stands The Chemical Buddha actually had, but we’re sure he was one of the only people who was so quick he could come and go at pretty much the same time. To TCB, this spoke to the transitory nature of life. Here one minute. Gone the next. How every moment is different than the one before it and it only takes a second for the entire world to change. This is one of the reasons The Chemical Buddha lived his life as he did. Because, when his time came, he didn’t want to have any regrets.
Do you appreciate the moment you’re in or do you look forward to the next moment?
If you’re looking toward the future how does always looking forward affect you?
If you’re always in the moment, how does not planning affect you?

Spare Change

"You change the system by ignoring it."
Every generation seems to be about change. That's because no one ever seems to be happy to be a part of the system that made it possible for them to be here in the first place. The Chemical Buddha was also one such person. But, as we've discussed earlier, he was pretty lazy. And he found the best way to impact change was not to fight against the system or try and change it from the inside (just another word for selling out). He found the best way to change it was to ignore what everyone else was doing and go his own way. So TCB took ancient religious philosophies and combined it with modern medicine and sex aids to create his own direction.
What do you fight against that you might just be better off ignoring?
What do you risk by going your own way and ignoring what others think around you?
