... 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.

NO...I AM NOT OKAY:

... No, I am not okay. Please stop telling me that everything is fine. No. I am not okay. And it is okay for me to say that and to feel that way.

I am not okay that my Wife and I cannot have anymore children without IVF. I am not okay that this was taken from us.

I am NOT okay with this.

I am not okay that my Son will probably be an only child and everyone fucking caters to him like he's Prince Joffrery.

No.

I am not okay.

I am not okay that I lost out on a promotion two weeks ago to someone who is SO under qualified as it compares to me that it is embarrassing...AND...That the explanation given to me was that I need to work on my education in Government even though I have MORE experience in Government and a degree that is...Whatever, I should NOT have to defend myself on this.

What a fucked up excuse for not promoting me.

If your fucking reading this, that WAS fucked up.

Looking for someone more technical? Someone who balances you more? Someone who is a better fit???

Whatever.

More like: "I want you right where I have you and until I am gone you will stay right there" - Was that SO tough to say?

...

No.

I am not okay.

I am not okay because this nation elected Donald Fucking Trump our 45th President and that is seriously fucking fucked up.

What. The. Fuck???

No.

This Country, the Women, Children, Minorities and the LGBTQ Community - Not to mention my Wife and Son - Deserve BETTER THAN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

GOOD GRIEF AMERICA.

No.

I'm not okay.

Thank you for asking.
