I was having a sticky bun in Fatboy's caff just yesterday. It's a stone's throw from my house. Nice bloke. That song is a pain in the rump though.
"Here and now" is a big improvement.
Lets talk.....I don't like it.

Still not completely sold though. There's a Twix in it for the person that comes up with something better.

My only doubt about Here And Now is that it was the name of a really terrible hippy band from the 70s. A spin-off from the godawful Gong.
If there's a Twix in it, I will not rest until I find the right words.
I trust we're talking the normal-sized Twix, not those little ones that come in a big bag?

Yeah - a decade ago I issued him and Zoe their backstage Dance Tent access cards at Glastonbury. They were very much 'enjoying' the festival of course. Liam Gallagher wasn't so happy though - I'd got his pass wrong while making it - not the best person to upset via beaurocratic formalities...

I prefer chunky KitKat, but I can practice acceptance of 'what is' in this case - or 'what twix' - sorry .
I think the dots followed nicely after the single speech mark, otherwise without the dots it would be better to have a second speech mark to close off the sentence.
Some suggestions:
"It's here and now..."
"Accepting the here and now..."
"You have arrived... " (from Thich Nhat Hanh)
"Wherever you go..." - from JKZ, of course, but if it works then why change - plays on the internet thing too
"Everywhere everyday..."
"Now we're/you're talking..."
"Every little helps...." - Tesco.
I'm sold on the last one myself.

If that remains stuck in my head for the entire day I am blaming you Bio
