... 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.

JITTER BEASTS:

... Whelp, if you do not follow this blog (...or if you do not know Your Boy personally) you probably might not know that I have been pretty darn sick for the last week and a half - Actually - My Wife and Son have been in the same boat so it is very safe to say that our whole household has been under the weather for a spell.

Yes, I missed and ENTIRE week of work last week - I really cannot remember the last time THAT happened...I am pretty sure it has been a while.

Fortunately we are all on the mend now and I have been back in the office since Monday - BUT - In an attempt to not only try and quickly re-implement myself into the work environment but also get caught up as soon as it is humanly possible I have been drinking a lot of coffee.

Ahem...Yeah, I mean a LOT of coffee.

... So, this fact made me think of a really funny *.gif that I found on 'The Oatmeal's' Website ( http://theoatmeal.com/ ) - And, well I suppose without further delay here it is:


I hope you like the *.gif...It is pretty hilarious IMHO...
