WHAT ARE THE ODDS

what are the odds of eating blackened fish five nights in a row ?
what are the odds of rubbing one's eyes after eating five chillies ?
you may be asking if the number five is significant or is it just the odds that we are talking about, or maybe it is the gourmet in me trying to come out.
anyway........there is always a time for a different sense of humour and just because people do not understand you,does not mean that it is not funny.

how many people can move in the dark and feel comfortable ?
who's laughing now ?
does it really matter which box you want to stand on; is your box really the best one ?
does it have a heritage and a label ?
it is really great that you had to fork out so much money for a designer box; for a designer who is now in a box and the grey suits running the corporation are laughing all the way to the bank.
maybe their collars are too tight !
maybe they have chillies in their boardrooms, or maybe they have found the the Achilles heel in your psyche and they are relishing the thought of how they put one over you and are going on about the demographics and the target markets and blah, blah, blah, and the interesting point about all of this is that whatever one wants is for free, and what the most rewarding is, is for free.
it is just a matter of extending oneself in the direction of the inner self and not the inside of one's pocket.

now, what were the odds again ?
do you chose your life or do you let the life chose you ?
do your senses lead you or are you being pulled by the fake nose ring ?
are those the fake wants and the fake thoughts that someone has planted and conditioned you to think ?
does the name Pavlov ring a bell ?
does it make you bark and salivate ?
what are the odds on that ?

probably you thought that you were a man's man or a woman's woman or a boy-girl or a girl-boy.
does this really make a difference to anyone who has a heart and a soul ?
what are the odds of meeting a real human being or an impostor ?
that is up to you to figure out.
there is a probability on both sides but the one outweighs the other.
which one is all in the way that you are wired and see the universe.
when was the last time that you cried ?
where does it really hurt ?
are you playing the consummate joker in all of this ?
where is the path going anyway ?
do you really want to know ?
does it really matter ?
does anything matter ?

what are the odds and how would you like to play this game ?
do you ever consider on being authentic or is it just another word on a package in a supermarket ?
is it the truth that you seek or is it what you want to hear to make yourself feel comfortable ?
how comfortable are you anyway ?
what are the odds now ?
are they in your favour ?

are you still playing with the same dice that you got when you were ten years old ?
is it a sense of timing and the great question is, do you have to have a designer watch to tell the time ?do the finer things in life give you that patina of sophistication and one-upmanship ?
is it your transport from one place to another ?
does it mean that you have suddenly arrived at your destination ?
what is the emptiness that you feel gnawing away at your gut ?
you had better run out and get a prescription, take a vacation, take a mistress or a Latino lover, get some botox, plastic sculpting-----add on, to fill yourself up.
maybe it will help and maybe not.
you could always addict yourself to some designer drug of choice and feel the man made ecstasy.
isn't that a rush-----that makes you feel better already, and to top it all is one headlong dash, backwards, as the everything that you have accomplished, starts to disappear before your very own eyes, and then comes the detox, rehab and whatever-----that is if you are able to afford it----you are able to do it.

so now is the chance to really work out the odds on having blackened fish five nights in a row or getting some chili in your eyes.
when you are able to work out these odds, your life plan will have a certain amount of clarity and all will be smooth sailing, until you hit the next squall or bad weather patch.
