Well, this past week has been intense. I've got a big deadline this Friday at work [drawing set is due], but tonight I had to take some time off to see an old professor who was visiting the city with his students. It was a good break, but now it's time to prepare for tomorrow night, which could be very long. The goal is to have all of our drawings plotted off by the time we leave the office Thursday night, so that Friday all we will have to do is send the set off to the copy company and deliver them to the site.
Plus, Friday night Battles is playing a free show, one that I have been looking forward to. And it is also Labor Day weekend, the unofficial end of summer here in NYC, and I will be celebrating it in Boston. Any recommendations on things to see and do?

Wow, it's been a while
It seems like every time I do post on this blog, I apologize for not posting in a while. I don't really have any excuses, except for maybe the fact that by the time I do get on here to post something, I feel like I never really have anything to say other than posting about the mundane triteness of my everyday life. I am not the greatest story teller like my boy Easy-E who gets to be in movies, and I don't have the cynical old man rants like Corpo Corbo, and part of me wonders what the point is? What is my blog for?
My title says "a place in space for the thoughts and musings of me." I guess my thoughts never transfer very well into print. I have thoughts, as we all do, I just never seem to be able to deliver them in an effective manner via the world of the blog. One of my personal shortcomings has always been my inability to "Express [My]self," both in my architectural discussions and in my everyday interactions with people. I guess that I get nervous about what people may think and that they may not like me and what I have to say.
Back when I was younger, my parents called me Silent Sam, so one can see that this has been with me all throughout my life. Sure, now I talk a lot more, but as many of you have witnessed, it's not always quality, and even still I always seem to be holding something back.
I think that maybe I am going to try and start using this blog as a way to get over this shyness, and hopefully it will be updated much more frequently, if not daily [that may be stretching things a bit, I am a busy NYC man afterall!]. Ok, now a quick update about my life:
This summer has been one big blur. Ever since Memorial Day, I have had something to do almost every weekend. I went to San Francisco for a mini-CAPD reunion which was a blast, I had a private flight up the Hudson River corridor by a great pilot-friend of mine, I have had my parents visit me, I have had my girlfriends parents visit me, I have visited my family in KC for a family reunion, I have seen the Bloch Building [fantastic!], I have had several sets of friends visit for the weekend [KC and STL], I have gone to free concerts [Spoon! Animal Collective! etc], I have had my brother visit for a week after spending a year in Germany, and I have just returned from a weekend in Philly.
Whew! See what I mean, I don't have time for the likes of you, Mr. Blogger, I'm a busy man! [see tongue in cheek]
However, not to sound pretentious, but I have also been very involved a reading a long, yet engaging piece of literature, War and Peace. I feel that this book is teaching me patience, something that I desperately need in my life, something that will help me both professionally and personally [I've been reading for about 6 weeks now and am a little over halfway through]. Ok, that's it for now, I leave you with a few photos, hopefully more soon!
Let's go flyboy!
