Chocolates

I've always liked Forest Gump. Everything about it and him spells success. The moral of the story, the music, and the child-like Forest who looks 'odd' and yet so endearing. His most famous quote, 'Life is like a box of chocolates..... ' And it's so true, you just never know what you're going to get. Chocolates, that is where my expertise lies. Chocolate is just so nice to me. Although it could be more forgiving and not go straight to my hips, but anyhow, nobody's perfect, and chocolate isn't either. But I don't like chocolates which come in a box, because they will be assorted, and I don't like assortment. In the same way I don't like change, that is if it doesn't come blond, blue-eyed, with a six pack and with eyes for nobody but myself. Back to the box, because here I'm thinking in and out of it fast. One of the worsts presents anybody can give me (hinting here), is an assorted box of chocolates. Because the content will not be pure smooth choc, but chocolate-orange (which I hate because it reminds me of Clockwork Orange somehow and I don't like that), strawberry choc, mint choc (those are the worst), and every combination plus the chocolate. Me... I want the real thing, no half measures. I don't like half and half. I want it all... untarnished. I want to taste just the chocolate. If I feel like an orange, then I'll eat an orange. If I feel like strawberries, then I'll gorge on strawberries, not even strawberries with cream. Nada, I want to taste the bottom line. Same as in life. I want the real thing. No half-heartedness about anything. no halfhearted love, no halfhearted sex even. No I won't compromise. Period.
