Life considers taking a turn

I realise somehow that this blog has turned from something with purpose to something quite directionless and vacant. That probably reflects my tumbleweed vistas of architectural life.

Since graduation and numerous non-architecturally related ventures, I have only had but the slightest of tastes concerning experience in an architecture office. One of which I spent two weeks in Brouard Architects, which, don't get me wrong, was a great experience, where surprisingly I learnt a lot. But left me hungry for more. Like a hopeless vagabond looking for an oasis after downing his flask-full of refreshing fluids. Or not.

I really hate to dramatize things further but since then I've found myself in a deathtrap of meaningless work, repeating the steps of needing money and not having time to look for a real job and needing more money etc. That isn't to say I haven't been lazy. Although I have to point out that I have been looking for work, which shows the difficult climate of job availability...blablabla. Or maybe I'm just trying to defend the poor excuse for a life I've had in the past 6+ months.

This dusty reality ALMOST blew over when, I received a reply from HASKOLL Architects last week. A positive response this time, and a chance for an interview. Which is the primary reason I'm writing here, taking some time to switch to archi-mode and dust off my portfolio, procrastinating , naturally, and writing the token blog entry that possibly one maybe two people will read. Maybe I'm pushing my luck, but I don't care.

I just hope this interview goes well and that I can once again re-engage in the world which I set out to enter years ago. I might have possibly started to emerge from my 'early 20's life crisis', encouraged by the realization that I want to earn my money designing something. Architecture primarily, vague? very, but I have settled for roughly that for now.

If I don't return here within a month or so you can assume that the interview didn't work out and I am sitting in the middle of nowhere as a samurai on a set for '47 Ronin' wondering what the hell I'm doing with my life.


Work the past month: Sitting on set for '47 Ronin' as an extra waiting for Carl Rinsch to get it right.
