One (now generally debunked) theory was that his mother put engravings of great buildings on his nursery wall and proclaimed that she would raise her son to be an architect.

Another has it that Wright witnessed the collapse of the old Wisconsin Capitol Building and resolved to become an architect to prevent similar tragedies from ever happening again.

Your theory is also one of several others in play.

To say that one chapter in a book gave birth to the greatest architectural legacy in our country's history is to perhaps oversimplify the complexity of the man, and the dynamics afoot that drove the man to his destiny.

Just sayin'...

or, can there be an art/Mudede blog or filter?

The 1st Avenue side is f***ing ugly.

But it still has time to redeem itself depending on what they do with tree placement,interesting things to look at in the windows, etc. We could be in love with it in a year...who knows.

@3 -- Eat me.

oh.

Glad we got that cleared up.

In other words, it's not even remotely possible that I am a glue-sniffing hesher for failing to understand Mudede's recent attempts to tease philosophical interpretations out of Seattle's local architecture. Mudede obviously "doesn't know what he's talking about." It really is that simple.

So there!

You mean you COULDN'T care less, not COULD. You are a writer - get it right!

Someone disagreed with you on the internet, and made good points as to why.

I think you're mature enough to know that the option to directly confront this person through humble email is possible; that waving it around on a blog in which you take part to create the OMGZDRAMA is not the only way to feel vindicated.

Yes yes, what they said was blasphemous and needs to be corrected with righteous humiliation and name-calling, but it does nothing to improve your image to your fans by being the one to present for such a task. If someone's said something mean about you on the internet, you don't have to make a post about it and meticulously point out why each of their opinions are wrong, and how each of yours are godly and just.

I've personally taken to skimming (and usually skipping) over the Slog posts that I see are written by you, because it is usually only with your posts that I feel compelled to comment to in such a way.
Remind yourself that this is a blog with a very large audience, and some of us still critique the most beneficial and productive ways to handle situations, and do not always appreciate your wanking.

thank you.

i have that on verification from his grandson.

Please tell me the two of them are going to come to blows over this. Mudede would blather on and on about how the "coding" of his punch is going to express how intellectually insulted he is, and Bertolet would just shrug and kick him in the balls.
