what is good?

paper tiger

Something GOOD.
it can be anything:
a morning shower,
a morning shit,
the amazon, a stream
books, a kettle's scream
hallmark cards,
buildings,
spaces,
god's shoelaces....

Jesus is good, Jesus is Lord. The GOP is good. anyone who affiliates themselves with the GOP is good, in particular anyone who has ribbons or fish on there automobiles is good. Fundamentalist Christian conservatives are great and all knowing.

i think geek called us flamers...
geek, you couldnt' be more wrong.
it's a duality, a subject people beat to death on this site, so i shall join, kick and perhaps use some kind of blunt object.
the serious, the intellectual, has to be counterbalanced, otherwise people become even more pompous than they already are, myself included, i get on here, believe it or not, to be humbled, to feel a bit stupid, and most importantly, to flirt with rita; archinecters are elitist gits, and we need to keep them from shooting down too many employees, students, or self publishing more of their own bullshit...just so their friends and family members buy all twenty copies of the first print....i say gimme a fifty cent word, which was probably made up by someone in our field anyway, and i'll say "shit"
gimme duality, and i'll say "two"
gimme the sages scattered throughout these pixels and i'll give you the ones who are new, the inexperienced, the dumbasses, who have to step it up to deal with the "big boys," the professors, the theorists, who really, who are we kidding, are just hacks who could never actually design anything, like the art historians who can't paint, like the jennifer lopez, who couldn't act her way out of a nutsack. i am being deliberately hostile and insulting, just like others are pompous and condescending, just like others are nice and kind, and we all have our reasons.
now, what is good?
what is GOD?

women in little black dresses
listening to a new album for the first time
perfect surf
getting smiles from strangers
high fives. the really big ones.
october baseball
backrubs
bloody marys
sailing fast
fresh powder
the scent of really fresh mountain air in the fall
seeing the actual thing that you designed being built and used
really good dates

sameold, yeah, it's definitely on my top ten. and the soundtrack is really great. i'm a sucker for romantic comedies, what can i say? when harry met sally, obviously, being in my top ten, but then there's pillowtalk, with rock hudson and doris day, i strongly recommend.
the scene in whms, on the plane, is so easy to change to one of architects:
so you were gonna be agriculturist?
architect.
architect, right that's what i said....

two more on that list: beautiful girls, which also has some great songs, and that winnie the pooh quote is just heartbreaking and beautiful.....and playing by heart, which is funny because john stewart plays an architect, the only architect in the world who could actually afford to live in the house he lives in....if only we really did make that much money.

and for the sake of the site, the playboy apartment of rock hudson in pillowtalk would make for a great breakdown of the bachelor pad of that era...oh, mr. heffner, you shoulda been an architect.

Archinect is good.

Because it gives me access to brilliant minds, lively dicussions, hysterical jokes, and links like this.

Thanks Israel for making me laugh out loud.

radiohead is cool because they are incredible musicians because they are incredibly talented because they learned and experimented because they have a natrual musical predisposition because they were born that way which means im no good

lletdownl, don't be so hard on yourself. let us be hard on you. the simply notion that you love radiohead makes you good. not to mention they put on a hell of a live show. and folk at the concert have always been very giving with their weed. god bless them. god bless us all.

The smell of clean laudry
When your bulbs actually come up come Spring
Warm, fat drops of rain falling on scorched earth
Grappa
Lying on your back in a meadow in the Alps
Skinny-dipping
Mulled cider

making sling shots out of coffee wood....
driving cross country and getting stuck behind a semi full of cedar chips. the smell of freshly cut cedar is, i'm sure, sweeter than the apple ever could be, and i followed that mack truck damn near all the way to chicago before i realized my intentions were west...
cliche'd, but the smell of earth after rains.
a cold pillow.
snow all around and solitude.
downhill skiing with no one else on the mountain....on powder...
salmon fishing...
fly fishing, though i look like a muppet in motion rather than a character from a river runs through it....
oh, "a river runs through it"
every muppet movie...

Look, father! A bear!"
"No, dear. That's a frog. Bears wear hats."
