Describe your perfect day:

Going on a long and relaxing drive in my Mini Cooper. Sometimes I will just leave my home on a Saturday morning and venture out with no real destination in mind. It is awesome way to disconnect from the world and be alone with your thoughts. I have a had many a creative breakthrough doing this very thing.
 

 

Anything else?:

Experiment. Have Fun. Be Creative.
