i think i made a thread about this a while ago but it went the way of the dodo, and i feel like revisiting the concept. so there :p lol

what are your major sources of inspiration? it could be for creative endeavors, for getting through the day, or life in general.

    the moon is definitely a source, it's so gorgeous, and just thinking of all the souls through time that have gazed upon it, not to mention everybody looking at it at the same time you are. sense of unity, continuity

    sometimes i get crazy ideas thanks to sleep deprivation. they're usually useless in the light of cold reason and rest, but still....some manage to be decent lol

    as for what inspires you, what is it about those sources that does it for you? right now i've had 'arc' on replay the past half hour. sets me in a meditative zone i think it's what i needed.

    different things inspire me in different ways.

    everytime i watch the news i could sit down and write a song.

    odd news stories always give me ideas to go deeper into them and write a short story.

    Sometimes when I'm working in GarageBand I think it sounds so good but when I do get sleep and come back to it, it's like what the fuck was I thinking?

    Also if I'm playing in Photoshop the same thing happens.

    I guess I get inspired by music as a lot of people are. At times I get inspired by the rain and thunder showers that come with it.

    Or I remember working on a project and say "hey I had fun doing this" so I try and re-create a certain song or work.

    Mostly music and art to sum up

    This is true as well. Usually the trippest shit I've come up with and I wasn't even high

    The Ocean..."true music, not just rock and roll".....Art that has someone's deepest emotions etched inside....running while looking up in the sky, heart racing, feeling the majesty of life....kindness in complete strangers....the sheer unchained melody of a kid's imagination....those who treat servers with an actual amount of respect....Nature's melting pot of emotions....and The Office. :)

    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 !!! ;)
    Peace, Love.

    *screams* i LOVE THAT!!!!! :D



    Believe it or not, the IMMAGINE IN CORNICE dvd SERIOUSLY inspires me. There is just something about seeing the boys throughout that dvd that just makes me alive inside. It inspires me to just be the best i can at what i do.

    I also have someone very special to me that i care about deeply. We dont talk everyday or see each other, yet I think of all the possibilities between us and it inspires me to dig deep inside and paint my heart out. His kindness makes ME want to be like that therefore i am inspired by his greatness. :)
