often times i get stoned and the realization of absolute lunacy is present... for instance.... today at work we were talking about the perfect woman... and a female co-workers says to me "awww will you just want to have your cake and eat it too!!! what the fuck? just what exactly is the point of that saying? what the fuck else would someone do with a peice of cake? if not eat the mother fucker? seriously if one has no intentions of eating cake then why would they want a piece? i dunno imma make a million dollars on weed scented cologne...imma name it "probable cause"
well this phrase " have your cake and eat it too" means that you are not satisfied with just HAVING it in your posession but now you want to eat it. I dont know it's hard to explain but heres an example. you have a fiancee you two are perfect for eachother. And then one day she tells you that she wants to go and have sex with other guys and have you be ok with it BUT you cant have sex with other girls cuz that would be cheating. SO she wants her cakes (you) and eat it too. Basically she is selfish. the whole phrase is about being selfish.
i dont know...perhaps what they want you to do, is throw the cake, like a pie in the face so if you eat it you cant throw it in someones face. then you miss out on the fun. you're right though...it doesnt add up....neither do alot of phrases.
yeah i think i should have used a better analogy............. basically what the phrase means is your being selfish. you want something all to yourself and then go get more all for yourself.
a good example might be (i found this on the net using google) the meaning: "have something after you have eaten or spent it, have it both ways" an example: "You want to spend your money and still have it. You can't have your cake and eat it, too." The things people want are often incompatible. This proverb is easier to grasp if it is understood to mean “You can’t eat your cake and have it too.”
now that suresh has talked me into sticking around a little longer, it'd be nice if he'd eat a little "cake" once in awhile...
I always thought it was a very clear image. I have a cake, yet I also ate that very cake here in my hand. Not only do I possess it, I also consume it. All at once. That's not my reality.
so after kitty attacks me with a triple unexpected hug attack... i ran to the store... and got asked another stupid question... the gentleman said to me.... is it cold enough for you? once again...what the fuck? first im wondering if somehow he has the ability to increase or decrease the temperature at command... i mean lets say it isnt cold enough for me.... just what the fuck can he do about it? can he add a few degrees? subtract some? ok playin the advocate..maybe he was just getting my opinion on the weather... so why not say ... you like the weather? i think its aglobal conspiracy to fuck with my mind.... and even later... i was entertaining one of the local tramps... and she says to me was it as good for you as it was for me? what the fuck? how in the hell am i supposed to know how mother fucking good it was to her? it was the best 5 minutes of my day but wow all these impossible questions? you know what i been reading so much about the bad effects of smoking, drinking,sex and drugs... that i fanally decided to give up reading!
