My muses.

I find inspiration in all sorts of sources.  One of my best emotional muses would be anger.  When I read or hear of something that I consider stupid and shortsighted, that anger that I feel needs to be channeled into something.  Writing is better than drinking when you're angry so I hit the keyboard.

Some of my sources are magazines.  I'll read anything you put in front of me (I'll draw the line at some crap from NAMBLA and most likely hit whoever thought I would be interested in that).  I learned some interesting indoor gardening techniques from a "High Times" issue, since I'm not a pot head the pictures of the finished product were rather wasted on me.  Sadly, most of the easily available information on hydro and aquaponics are from pot growers.

Another good source of inspiration is Facebook.  Unfortunately most of my inspiration on Facebook causes me to just get angry.  Some makes me sad.  A recent post from a friend was one.  She broke up with her boyfriend and posted her techniques to deal with the situation.  She's a friend and I'm rather bummed that I can't do anymore than offer a shoulder to cry on.

I liked the spirit of her post but let me put a male spin on it.  Throw yourself into work, eat barbecue, hit up topless bars.  

Some of my thoughts are completely random.  I came up with a Marine commercial yesterday.  I HAD to write it down so I could clear my head enough to go to sleep.  Sometimes... my mind just goes wacky.
