... The title of this blog has to do with a Will Bruder quote I heard while attending the University of Arizona College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture (CAPLA) during the Fall of 1999 - "Learn to master the trash can and you might become something" - It really resonated with me and has stuck with me to this day. I suppose for me the concept hit hard that although you can discard an idea, concept, sketch, design, whatever for a certain project you may be able to revisit it at a later date under different circumstances - In other words designs never die, they evolve, they hibernate, they circle-back but they never die...Or maybe he was just telling us to quit our ideas of becoming Architects and to go live in a public park somewhere; which, given the current state of the industry probably would not have been such a bad idea...

That is what this Blog will be for me - With over a decade in the industry I have come to realize that what I thought I would be doing on a daily basis and what I actually do are pretty darn different - BUT - I still have ideas, I still have hopes and I still have my creativity; So, I figured this would be a good outlet...I will share my thoughts on work and the industry as well as whatever moments of creativity I can muster - And, yes, at the direction of my Wife I will keep the swearing to an absolute minimum.

Cheers...B.

ASU STILL SUCKS - WHATEVS:

... Okay, so on the heels of their drumming at the hands of Stanford last week (This post was initially posted last Sunday, 09/22 but for some reason it was deleted from Blogger's Servers - WTF Google? - Thanks for responding to my complaints btw - So Odd - Read more below!) I thought it appropriate to explain something about myself - I am a graduate of The University of Arizona - Arizona's FIRST University - That is correct; I bleed Wildcat Red - AND - As a UA Alumnus I have the responsibility, nay, the obligation to hate on that piss and merlot wearing school to the north in Tempe.

Fear the Fork? - Right - I fear cutlery...Just so sharp and "pokey."

But seriously ASU is a school populated by Trust-fund kids with spiky hair, popped collars, an odd sense of entitlement and a self-proclaimed superiority to UA...AND...Just what is it about ASU that makes them superior? - According to them it has to do with their proximity to Scottsdale.

Odd.

They think they are better than everyone else in the state based on simple geography (...They are not) - ASU is a silly little state school who's initial claim to fame is Temple Gradin...Yup, you read that right - The kooky cow lady - I mean, I am sure cows are cool and all but have you actually ever heard an ASU Graduate say anything about their School of Agricultural?

NOPE! - Because they never do...It is like that awkward Uncle on your Dad's side of the family that gets drunk at every family get together, pukes in the downstairs' bathroom and grabs your Mom's butt - Just weird.

The other thing about ASU is that they are really jealous of the National Championship UA won in 1997 - I mean like INSANELY jealous - Man it really gets to them...They call Tucson a garbage town and make fun on the water - Well, actually the water is pretty bad but still - Ease off!

To further illustrate my point about ASU here are some links from http://deadspin.com/ for your enjoyment:

... Sure, it "should" suffice if you want to drop out and do porn (... Just GOOGLE: Gina Lynn's Double Dutch) or if you plan on not being taken seriously for the rest of your life in a professional setting.

... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

So yeah, ASU Sucks - What? - You want to fight about it?
