That’s what happens when you write=>edit=>post instead of write=>edit=>proofread =>post. 2) RE Jason's comment / quote: "Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action." I respect your opinion, but that makes no sense to me. Maybe we have different definitions of inspiration. I'm thinking along the lines of raw creativity and maybe you're thinking along the lines of charging a hill or something. Anyway, cheers to inspiration, in all its forms!

" It’s the same for me. I took it too the extreme last year through present, as follows: Quit my cush Associate VP job doing deals finance deals up to $900 million, move to Europe (Sweden), take seven months off to get to know the country, travel, go to concerts and get married... then pop out BuzzPal - The World Is Your Party (www.buzzpal.com). Hopefully I’ll be back in USA later this year with the whole party package in place. Cheers! -Chris Comella, Founder BuzzPal - The World Is Your Party www.buzzpal.com Hi Darren,

I always seem to have something that pops into my head saying, well what if they did it this way or that way? I think it can hit you anywhere anytime (well for me that is) Inspiration for me comes in many forms, but usually when I am faced with an obvious problem…whether it a be how a company operates, how a govt. service is being dispensed or reading about business problems.

The restaurant is nothing special, just like every other BK. But there is something I can't explain. I have always come up with creative ideas and good brainstrom sessions (by myself) when I'm just having a sandwich there. It doesn't work in other BKs and for any of my friends.

I personally can't think of what inspires me at the moment, but I am motivated to compile a list of quotes, images (i like the slideshow approach) and books over the next few days. prevost tour buses?
