... 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.

I NEVER SAID I WAS GOOD AT MATH:

... Okay, so here is a quick math problem for you:

NEW JOB + ON-GOING HOUSE REMODEL + NEW BABY = X

Well, based on my experience over the past year or so "X = A DEAD BLOG" - And as my uber-talent younger cousin Thomas would say, "Sucks bra" - Oh well, we are still live...So, I ask you, why quit now?

I once wrote that I was committed to not let this Blog die and I still mean that...I will just have to try to manage my time better so that I can keep providing my coherent ramblings for no one to actually read - Hey! - Waste of time?!?!? - Who said that? - You in the back row...I heard that and I have my eye on you!

HAPPY FRIDAY! - Deuces,
B.
