What inspires you?

So obviously, being a musician requires being open to inspiration. But where does it come from? Where do you get inspiration from?

For me I am most open to inspiration that inspires me in my music or in different service elements and design. And it usually doesn't come from me seeing something or hearing something. Some of my favorite parts of my day are when I am completely alone. Just me and my brain, chillen, thinking about everything thats going on in my life, why these things are happening, and how amazing this whole journey is going to be.

I get the biggest chunk of my inspiration from my thoughts. I'll start thinking about something like my dog Maggie. Then from that I'll think about how much it must suck to eat the same thing everyday and how getting a dog biscuit is worth drooling over. Then I'll start thinking about what is the one thing that is a treat to me that I drool over (sometimes literally). Is this thing really good for me? Should I fast from this certain thing? Why does thing certain thing excite me so much? How will fasting from this help me physically? Emotionally? Spiritually?

So from thinking about my spastic dog I had made the decision to fast from a fairly popular internet networking site *cough* Facebook *cough*. It was a great decision and I am all the better for it.

So my inspiration comes from my seemingly useless thoughts and the tangents that come from that. Where does yours come from?
