... 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.

YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT STYLE:


... Well, LeBron James finally shook his demons and won his first NBA Title last year (...if you call intentionally surrounding yourself with talent in an attempt to make up for your short comings, alienating an entire city and generally being a real booger exercising your demons) - In addition to "King James" picking up his first Larry O'Brian Trophy, "Bron-bron" also snared another NBA MVP Award and a second Olympic Gold Medal - Due to this highly successful season people everywhere have started the "Who's Better?" talk again - Air Jordan or King James?

Let's be honest here, I have no clout on this topic, no "real" expertise other than a washed-out High School Career - I carry no weight at all about sports, statistics or professional athletic barometers of "greatness" - Ultimately no one really cares at all about what I have to say - Just ask my Wife - All I am is a simple sports fan who had the benefit of seeing both players play...And even though this Blog will never appear on Fox Sports or ESPN (...or really matter in any significant manor whatsoever) let me throw my two cents into this conversation just for funzies:

Michael Jeffrey Jordan was the greatest player in the history of the game.

Period.

End of discussion.

Jordan did more for the game of basketball, the City of Chicago and athletic marketing than anyone else before him and more than anyone else will ever be able to do after...He is unmatched in not only on court dominance but also off court global recognition.

He is the GOAT - The Greatest of All Time - Period.

Without MJ there would be no LeBron.

And damn...That is some SWAG - Pure Air baby.

Syndication out,
B.
