Good plus Good equals Better?

Those of you who follow my generally dull, but occasionally inane ramblings on twitter, will by now know my evil scheme for world domination. For those of you who don't the genius lies in the simplicity.

Yoghurt covered bacon.

Things covered in yoghurt are ultimately better than things that aren't, who has ever eaten just one yoghurt covered raisin? Then there is bacon, everything is better with bacon isn't it? Open a massive bill, panic, have a bacon sandwich, feel better. Life's too short to worry about bills when there is enough bacon grease oozing round your arteries to shorten your life span by a decade. You'll be dead before they catch you.............wait I don't think that is quite where this was meant to be going. Lets skip the why's and just agree that bacon is awesome. So surely if one combines these two powerful forces one could topple governments, rule civilisations, beat everyone, at everything, ever? No?

OK maybe my plan for world domination is a wee bit far fetched, but a girl has to aim high right? To be honest at the moment having something, anything to aim for would be a bonus. I like to think I am reasonably ambitious, I don't want it all, but I'd like to feel I've achieved something. Even if I don't make a difference, I'd like to make a contribution.

At the moment the world feels like a very uncertain place and I don't think it is just me. Yes I've had a rejection today, yes things are a bit unsteady at home, but I have been there before. This feels bigger, maybe this is what recession means to us everyday folk. The world seems like a big scary place right now. Everywhere I turn less and less is being paid for more and more, the squeeze really does seem to be getting a grip.

It has been a long time since I've had any idea what I want to be when I grown up. A few years ago that felt amazing, as though every door and possibility had been swung wide open just for me. It was scary yes, but in an exhilarating kind of way. Maybe it is the world we live in now, maybe it is the fact I have passed the big three zero, but suddenly the same situation seems scary in a much more claustrophobic way, suddenly my indecisiveness is making everything seem finite rather than infinite.

I can but take solace in the fact that times of recession are often cited as seeing a huge boost in creativity and entrepreneurship. Maybe yoghurt covered bacon is not the way forward, but maybe that big idea is just around the corner.
