Look out Guatemala, just seeing this bag makes me want to invade a small country.

Can I get one with more pouches?

I bet this next awesome thing is heavy especially with that many books on it.  Also, I wonder if the shelf for each state contains only books that relate to that state.  Learn more about this awesome American bookshelf here.

What is that landmass extending from the east coast of Florida?

This image from here has inspired me to create a similar series of images of items available for purchase and where they can be purchased from depicting what can be purchased to make for an awesome party/ experience.  If I get more followers on this blog, and if you're good, I'll publish them here.

The topics to be covered will be:

• Diamonds and Denim
• Pimp and Ho
• Unicorns and... something rhymes with or is appropriate to go along with unicorns
• High Class and Hobo
• Favorite Movie Character

Source of Inspiring Photos

Source of Inspiration:

Photos of the inside of hotels can be incredibly inspiring.  Below are samples:

There are lights made to resemble stars above the indoor pool at 

The Observatory Hotel in Sydney, Australia

The view bar at the Hotel Le Bristol in Paris, France

Two Shots of the Pool at the Sandy Bridge Hotel in St. James, Barbados

Inside a Room at the Four Seasons George V in Paris,
which has a great mural and a cool oversized curtain rod used
to hang drapes around a bed.  Still, I'm not thrilled by the 
I Love Lucy style separate beds.

Ever since the first time I watched Bad Boys II

all I've ever wanted are little angels looking down on me

and now if I stay at this suite at the Four Seasons in 

Florence I can have them.

Looking at these images makes me want to make more money and travel.

Find: Recipes for potatoes, which are cheap, would be good to have

Managerial question to ask: What is the last book you read that relates to your job? Or ask without the job part and think about firing anyone who answers “a children's pop-up book” instead of a Cathie Black's Basic Black or something similar.
