Looking for Real Architect

Why is it that after living for half  of a century I feel that I've met so few people that can tell me what it is that I like, and what type of environment I ought to pair well with, such that upon further reflection, I deem their conclusions to consistently be accurate. Isn't that the job of an architect.. Not to ask, but to examine a person's habits and to be able to put their mind at ease-- by placing them in a structure that relieves the taxing efforts of them trying to figure out what the hell kind of world they are being exposed to.

I often rationalize that I am just picky. Well I've read tales about people, in particular, about architects, whose ideals I envy. I've seen some photos, too. They seem to possess these qualities that I find are in such short supply. But, they must exist,  and they must be the type to know that they exist to put minds like mine at rest, so that maybe I can accomplish something of my own. 

I've been looking to be inspired for quite some time, and unfortunately I am most inspired by what I see, and what I see doesn't inspire me so much, in fact, quite the opposite. 

I study chance, and I'm sick of waiting. This is kind of like an add, but more like a plea. I've got money for a home, perhaps. But maybe all you get out of it is your name, as an Architect.. A real one.

Risk Aptitude

To analyze personal risks often assumes that the primary imperative, against which that risk is assessed, is survival. However, I prefer to view the imperative as not wishing to merely be alive, but to feel alive. I guess this lends itself to less risk aversion on average. Throw it in the model.

Space Odyssey of One Man

There is no one thing more inspiring than the feat of a man achieving his dreams

Nostalgia

How I see it..

Nostalgia: Inherited trait prevalent in humans. An evolved trait which serves to motivate curious humans who stray away from their colony to one day come back with insight, methods, and goods. A societal enhancement trait,  an advantage to survival of that colony, and consequently the nostalgic member.

Jake's Apartment

A room I enjoyed more than any other as of yet

Around the Oil Field

One thing I enjoy about working in the drilling industry is being able to travel around the country to see the different landscapes that we drill upon. Here are a few photos illustrating the kind of scenery I've encountered and places I've spent time while out in the "oil field".

This chair is a very trustworthy companion, very loyal indeed.
