Looking for inspiration

I am also in search of what I hoped would be a constant stream of inspiration. The more I look, though, the more I realize it ain't gonna be there. Coming at it from a musical perspective (songwriting), I know that sometimes noodling on the keyboard does it, sometimes, humming, and sometimes nothing that could be predetermined helps resolve the current creative issue. It must be that way in design (for me). I'm still new at all this, and have found that most of my inspirations have come from doodling (either in pencil or on screen), looking around, surfing (the web), or venturing aimlessly in desperation. I don't think there's a fountain of inspiration for me - but I'm still looking.
