So I'm back, blogging again. I guess I'm a blogger now, so welcome to another edition of The Long & Winding Croad.
Ok, so i'm gunna start in a real weird place, a supermarket. Yeah right, no one saw that coming, but something hit me recently i want to share. Some groceries products have such a huge span of options, sometimes too much choice can be too much. Look at milk right... if someone says to you, can you pop out and get some milk?, you instantly start a 5 page questionnaire or flowchart to determine which milk is right. Skimmed or Semi? Organic? 1 pint, 2 pint? Flavored? The list goes on. At what point in life over evolution did someone just think, you see that milk market, we can put a lot of options in there for people. Why not just be able to buy simple one pints of one type of milk!!! Its the same for Bread... Wholemeal? White? Best of Both? Small loaf? Big loaf? Rolls? No wonder supermarkets are getting bigger in size! Oh, and while i'm here, who's genius (term used loosely) idea is it to put the fruit at the start? The damn things have gone off and out of date by the time you get to the checkout! What goes near the end....Pet food and Toilet Roll.... and Alcohol? So if your an alcoholic who's shit themselves and forgot to feed the cat, They have you covered in one place!
Anyway, Heroes and Villains. Sometimes people come along who can inspire you, whether its to do something, to make a change, or just help you set a goal. As i grow old and grey, it's now i reflect on the heroes that influenced my younger years, even to this step of writing this right now, someone will have inspired me. Appreciation for these people mostly comes all too late, they retire, they move on, or in worse cases..they pass away. Sometimes life can change so quick, perspective changes too. If right now you are sat reading this thinking why haven't i achieved this by now, or why i haven't i traveled here, then do something about while you still can.
Every hero has a villain counterpart. Hogan had Andre, Batman has Joker and even Optimus Prime had Megatron. If that last reference was lost on you, your in for a bumpy ride through these blogs! This week has really put in perspective for me how a villain can be so much more. Whether its the situation in Orlando recently, or things closer to home, it seems the world is becoming a hard place to understand. Who is the real Villain out there? Has society become so used to pointing fingers at people that it turned on its own kind. Hey, this isn't answers....just questions. I provide thoughts which lead to stories, and they land here.
So I'm off on holiday next week, which means i have the joys of packing ahead. You know...choosing 5 outfits on the bed, getting there and totally not matching the same outfits on holiday! Wearing the same pair of shorts for the majority of the time, and that one item which never leaves your case, and comes back, and goes in the wardrobe again. Right now i'm rocking the 'Food Baby' look, which should go down a storm by the pool. I'll look less James Bond, more James Corden. I'm sure i'll come back with a load of stories...so watch this space.
Unlike my genitals, i don't want these to be considered too long for people to handle, so that'll wrap up this edition. Hope you enjoyed, if you have please share and spread the love.
Peace Out
Martin
