Are You Open to Suggestion?

This is my first real post on this blog, so I guess I'll make it kind of introductory. It is, as I said in the little "pre-post," an assignment, but I think I'd like to try and keep it up after the assignment is finished. I'll admit that I used to have (okay, okay, I still do have, I just don't use... often) a Xanga, and I've been looking for a place to write with a different style. So, here I'm planning on writing about... something. Hopefully it's something worthwhile.

I've recently realized what I want to do with my life, and that is to take part in running a coffee shop/concert venue/safe hangout for teens and young adults. It's sort of complicated, I suppose, I know it's what I'm supposed to do. I came to this realization when I was walking around a park with my best friend. We were talking about random nonsense, like we always do, when all the nonsense fell together into this idea. 

And that sets the background for what I'm going to be writing about in this blog. Partly (because I think it fits the expectations for the assignment better), I want to talk about ideas for and experiences I have with other establishments (and people) that inspire me. I also want to talk about other sources of Inspiration, though, and this is where I'm getting the title for this blog. There are so many things that happen all the time, everyday little things, that become transparent. We see right through them. I hope to write about these things that can have a lot more meaning when we learn to see them, rather than simply through them. 

Here we go...
