Life is Short, Have a Diet Coke | Because I Can | Diet Coke

And suddenly here we are. How have we reached the day when drinking a Coke needs justification, and is something that requires an effort, or that it might just be a little odd to do...or quirky. How have we got here ? I fear the BMW driving, lycra wearing, gym obsessed types may have got to us more than we care to admit it.

  Has the social climate changed so much that we need to think about the suitability of this everyday soft drink ? Maybe it has...and hell you know what im going to go all wild and drink one, after all we all partake in different activities to express of our personalities.

  Ironically diet Coke tastes foul and I couldn't ever justify drinking one, not even for the sake of it or to express my independent wild side ( joke )

  Today even the most basic of everyday building blocks are being reinvented and torn apart. Im lost as to where it is all coming from. This is how you get old, the confusion and slow process of losing touch with general opinion.

 

 

I found this due to a wandering Google search for a word or name that turned up in a vivid dream in the early hours. Why do the words in dreams always differ slightly from a nice clean match with search results ? Still they often bear some similarity or relevance to your outlooks.

WHERE THERE IS A WILL WE FIND A WAY

WHEN THE WILL IS NO MORE THEN THE WAY IS ONCE AGAIN LOST

Madonna - Dear Jessie lyrics

One of the greatest changes in my life has been the discovery of different realities when visiting Cornwall's esoteric centre in Tintagel. There is an area linked to the mythical legends that at first appears quaint or even tacky, but this cannot belie the fact that something that bends reality resides there. Or we could call this an thinning of the veil. This seems a childish thing say, but our past fantasies can seem to manifest in these areas, however silly or fantastic.
  During the everyday battle of existence is tempered by the thought in the back of my brain that yes, there is more to life than what I see on a day to day basis. What a relief. My, god what a relief.

Gary Numan - Love Hurt Bleed

I always wanted a top hat. Joking aside you never know who is on the other side of that screen....

Gary Numan - Ancients

When you have the chance to catch up with someone you once had a bond with, do you fear they have changed ? I may soon have this chance...maybe...

Simple Minds- Don't You (Forget About Me) - Lyrics

I only this week learnt the true full lyrics to this song. Male / female friendships do not last forever, life makes sure of it. Still we like to think that others remember what made us tick during those hazy days. The risky part is hoping to re-kindle any deep bond. Maybe that's our greatest insecurity and fear ?

The body tells you what your mind dare not speak.

Arla Cravendale: The Moonicow TV ad

I shall start by saying that if you cant laugh at yourself....Yes, this tongue in cheek " mystical " advert was filmed almost entirely in my valley. In fact the view with the red tractor in the field was the view from my backdoor when I still lived in the village.

  I must admit it all looks very idyllic on TV, and im guessing it was filmed at the height of June judging by the greens. The only thing that's baffling me is exactly when did it stop raining long enough to film this ?

 Im sure some of you would expect this advert would be me if our farm ever went back into milk production. Ohhh, that's a little close to the bone.Still if you cant laugh at yourself...
