If you've got one drink, and one friend, and 45 minutes, smooth rides make for boring stories. A little calamity, that's worth talking about.

Inspiration comes to us from many things, from a good talk with a friend, a beautiful sunset, wise words read from a book. They can come after many days of thought or gradually like a flower suddenly blooming into spring or out of the blue in the shower that makes you want to rush to your journal and write it down before it fades away, like the gloom of night from the rising sun. Inspiration, determination, drive, motivation, whatever you want to call it, is just a nudge, it's up to us how we use it to fuel ourselves up or simply to acknowledge it and let it pass from memory.

What's inspired me recently? Watching James Franco's interview behind the scenes on SNL and his talk about going back to Columbia University (although it also spawned a thought in me to go to Columbia University to study and stalk him, but that's a different story). Another one is Ronald's interview on Downe4U with Krys Freeman on downelink, but the reason behind that is more personal.
