This morning, I woke up feeling a little down in the dumps, so I decided to go on an Inspiration Journey. I like to do that sometimes, because the randomness of wandering about aimlessly can usually shake me out of a rut. I also decided to log the journey on Steemit! I hope you might get some inspiration, too...
First, I prepared some journey fuel:
It was surprisingly sunny outside, and there were a lot of birds chirping, so I sprinkled some birdseed on my porch railing. It all blew away within seconds, so I probably ended up feeding the rats instead of the birds, but whatevs.
Then, I worked on my postcard submission for a postcard art show. 
Finally, I left and began the journey.
First, I visited one of my favorite humans in the galaxy,
He worked on one of his postcards, too. Then, we jammed a little, but I got bummed out by my lack of skill. I wish I was better at jamming, but I guess the only way to get better is to keep practicing!
I continued on the journey.
The world is endlessly beautiful and fascinating, if you take the time to notice things. Like, I saw the most decrepit eraser in the world:
And this stuffed dead squirrel in a window:
I spied some tasty round things in another window:
I didn't really intend to buy stuff, but as I walked past one of my favorite new & vintage shops, I couldn't help but go in. I tried on a few things, and ended up buying a jacket and a pair of shorts. :)
hehe
Trying on stuff made me hungry, so I grabbed a hamborgah from Devil Dawgs.
I continued wandering. Everyone outside seemed so peaceful and happy with their hair blowing around in the strong wind and sun. I popped into the record store for a bit and they were playing some fucking good hip hop. I don't know much about hip hop or rap, so I asked who it was. They said it was Madlib, volume 5 of something (I forgot). I will be checking him out.
I ended up in another of my favorite shops- Quimby's. It's a zine shop that also has comics and other cool things to read.
My brain read this as "my aim is cunt". I thought it was some kind of feminist zine haha.
But it's actually "my aim is true." I really like how they used newspaper for the cover.
Skim through a few zines and you will always find something interesting. Something you'd never see anywhere else in the world.
This is my favorite section of Quimby's, as of late:
crypto reptilian? ;)
I decided to meander back home. I stopped at the grocery store on the way back, and bought broccoli, a potato, queso del caribe (Puerto Rican banana leaf white cheese), mustard, olive oil, and mushrooms. The deli looked interesting today:
I heard a CLACK sound as I was walking back to my apartment. It was the street lights turning on at 5:44 pm. I felt alive and fully aware of how amazing life is. I was excited to get home and work on my million different projects that are in the works. The Inspiration Journey worked. The sunset was beautiful from my porch.
