    theres been a few people or moments throut my life that have inspired me but as of late these are a few of them:

    1st and foremost as a kid I have to mention Adam Graves always inspired me:

    a story from 2000 just so you get an idea of what type of guy Adam was

    http://www.adamgraves9.com/citysgreatest.html


    then we got George Martin who was a former NY Giant and after my bike trip from Miami to Savannah and then bussing it up to NY for the Super Bowl I read and watched about HIS story:

    http://www.ajourneyfor911.info/

    like a grandma told her grandkids in Tenesee when they came across him on a highway:
    "THAT kids is a real hero right there"


    also lately Chris McCandless for a message he was trying to bring forth to the world but didn't accomplish it unfortunately...I think if he woulda made it back there woulda been more to him and his life and that kinda makes me want to get out there also.

    Def gotta say Mike McCready for the shit he's battled in his life and seeing where he is at now mentally and having felt that personally it makes me feel like many of us if we tried can actually achieve that state of mind. Also ed and the band for making me want to step up and be heard and make a difference in this world.

    AND a lot of you guys here knowing the stories and battles and bouts with life and overcoming and helping my P.O.V's when all is not well in my head sometimes...it is very much appreciated
    Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...
    Watch the nightly news and drink a beer...
    Like I could even change the world, yeah right...

    okay this is waaaaaaaay out there, but i was inspired.

    the movie "12 angry men" has always been a favorite of mine. i watched it one night with my nephew who is a great guitar player, and we stayed up for about 24 hours and wrote a song for each character in the movie.

    we recoreded them the next night after sleeping for only a few hours

    the c.d. is called "12 angry songs" lol. only a select few have ever heard this masterpiece !!! ;)
    that sounds pretty damn cool :)

    i love reading everybody's responses, keep 'em coming! it's nice to see what motivates folks.

    i got inspired a moment ago by a hershey kiss chocolate for a potential greeting card idea :p

    The Redwoods.

    my Pacific...

    they inspire me to be the best person i can...I like feeling like a little insignificant drop - they give me perspective...and that is inspiring.


    um, some blushables also inspire me...and oddly enough, I get inspiration TOWARDS blushables with everyday objects...and that makes me feel pretty damned inspired. so that is a great little cycle to ride along.

    I don't really get it from one source. Sometimes I get inspired by the most unexpected things. It can be a person, music, a great book..the cloud formations..lol. I haven't really felt too inspired as of late though.

    books are very inspiring to me. odd though, good books always inspire me to write songs rather then short stories n such.

    go outside right now. look around at different people. you will feel inspired in some way.

    i expect 500 words on this by tomorrow. :D
    Peace, Love.
