About Me

I am not impressed by materialistic things - Donald Trump once said that money was never his motivation, only a way to keep score. With that in mind, my goal is not to accumulate wealth in life but to design the world- be a creator of the environment around me to better humanity through architecture.Which brings me to the point - Have you thought about what you are doing with your life lately? - I hope it is something greater than taking steps and finding ways to buy more shit.- I am not here to save the world, I am just placed in the position I am to change it.About me..-Well I am six feet if you are wondering ( I get asked that the most)- Age- Very Legal-Single..waiting for that right one to come along in the future-No children but I dont discriminate with those who do-Third Year of Architecture School at Auburn University with a double Interior Architecture and Architecture major with a focus in Geology.-Humble but as concieted as you make me, funny, sarcastic, thoughtful, romantic, creative, not to mention a great masseuse, and excellent cookAre A Couple of Thoughts:- African American Males...it is time to wake up, stop being influenced by what you see on tv- life isn..t a rap video, stop trying to live your life like one.- Have some ethics, morals, and character about yourself, stop lowering yourself to reach the most basic and primitive desires. Set obtainable goals and plans for the future.- Education is Important! Pick up a book, expand your knowledge, stay up to date with world events, stop being afraid to move out of your culture and experience others.-Men it is time for us to step up big time - be a father to your son if you have one and a better man to your woman.Other than my family, putting a smile on other peoples faces, making them happy is what I like to do. I get pleasure in knowing that the person I am with is happy and secure, and I rarely ask for anything in return, just to feel appreciated. I get pleasure in doing things thats never been done before - I guess that is why I am so interested in design and architecture. Everytime I am presented with a design problem I know that whatever my mind creates as the solution will be unique, something special in the three thousand year old field that is architecture. That means a lot to me, having a mark in the world, like T.I. said, most people are trying to make presidents while I am trying to set precedents. Call me naive..I am not out to save the world but I do believe that I can change it. Also, I love to cook, I want to go to culinary arts school when I am done getting my two architecture degrees, not to become a professional cook, just to have because it is something I really want to get deeper into. I like to do things like to museums and art galleries, I am intersted in anything dealing with the arts, so going to see a play would be great, I would prefer that over a movie any day. I am single right now, and it is just because I am looking for the right one, so I am keeping my eyes open and not trying to rush into anything. I believe that all relationships must be built off of a strong friendship. Next year I see myself as continuing to be one of the top designers in my program and learning all that I can in the design field and anything else I can pick up that will be beneficial. I fear nothing on this earth except failure, because it isn't a option in a field that strives on perfection. I dream one day of starting a family and having kids. I also dream (I rather see it as a goal I know I am going to accomplish) of starting a multinational architecture firm, so I plan to open my frst office here in the states and gross my first million by 30. However money is not my motivation, i was never in my field for the money, it is truely something I can see myself waking up to every morning and wanting to go to work. Most people dont believe me that when I do start making enough money where I feel my family and firm are secure I am going to donate most of it to charity and scholarships. I like giving back to others and volunteering time. Get back to me soon, I would love to hear from you......

My Interests

A lot of people have come to ask me about my designs and my architectural work. It just so happens that one of my renderings for my last project was recently accepted inside the galleries of one of the software manufactures I currently use. To get there you need to go tohttp://www.flamingo3d.com/then Click "Gallery".............then Click "Architecture"..............."Flight Education Center" should be in the middle of the group.........Check it outo yeah if you dont believe that is my work, click my name, and you can email me - I will just reply back from that email for you haters out there. ( Sorry about not having just a simple link, for some reason it doesn't go right to my page.)

I'd like to meet:

"she is NOT a professed beauty; she is NOT a professed genius, she is NOT a professed philosopher, she is NOT a professed anything....She is, from nature - woman, gentle, feeling, animated, modest. - She is, by education, elegant, informed, enlightened. - She is, from religion, pious, humble, candid, charitable." ---More

Books:

Okay I deleted my old list because it was getting kind of long, so I am going to update "Books" on a Month to Month basis. October and November Books - "Event Cities 3", "New Museums", "Tschumi", "Zaha Hadid", "Mario Botta", and "MAK"

Heroes:

like life itself architecture is built upon things that we know, and things that we have to search for. Moving between the particular and the global, between clarity and confusion, problems are defined by actions, which give value to solutions. This paradoxical nature of design recognizes that architecture is at once a discipline of dreams and realities, consolations and conflicts, which constitute not a problem of architecture but a strength...Burnner and Smith
