Flossatecture

what r the mandatory components for flossatecture...ok. heres the big question, how can i achieve the floss in my designs? for the record jus know im officially giving away trade secrets...
the first thing about flossin in general is that knowing its an b n denial about this! bc people will ask u, why did u take it to the next level in ur project when ur design didnt need it to work, but bc of the follow thru to see how far u could take it, u pushed the scheme. so, that means u have to be ready to take it to the next, i mean u cant be scared to b a success, the big idea that jus popd n2 ur head now u have to own it even if no one understands it now, bc n the end if u do it right the CONCEPT will show up everywhere. its mostly being confident that the CONCEPT is worth ur time and everyone elses. so u have to stay in a flossy state of mind.

FLOSSATECTURE IS OVER THE TOP UNNECESSARY DECADENCE! this has to be achieved by the naturalness, the thoroughness of wanting the richness of ur CONCEPT to show up in ur DESIGN; u cant force it, bc the CONCEPT has to show up in every drawing convincingly and clear.

u have 2 prove that it works FUNCTIONALLY, flossin isnt flossin if dont work! & the AESTHETICS have to b on point, i mean thats a giving! if done correctly u will have braging rights at the end of the semester during jury prize time.

now flossatecture and flossmode are different as well. being in flossmode means now ur done with the bones and skeleton of the project, now ur actually designing or ur like at the end putting people in on illustrator, like, ur render is set for like 16hours etc... i mean basically, its like all downhill from now, being in illustator via photoshop means ur in cruise control = u have just
entered floss mode!

this is the overall art of flossin, so if u want exact techniques askdsjon

I'm Graduating Fool

DsJon
Im about to graduate from architecture school in a bad economy what do i do?
Scared at School

what u do really depends on ur situation, there are alot of different directions to take, u have to find ur nitch! instead of saying this is bad, say to ur self there are alot of possibilities that can happen and keep ur options open be willing to keep an open mind about things. the first thing that applys to everyone is not to get discouraged, keep an optimistic mind bc in the long run u will be designing for the rest of ur life, well into ur 80's, so this depression our economy is in now is only temporary.

this is a touchy topic for me i can go on about this forever...part2 coming

what should i serve for thanksgiving dinner?

I'm having trouble determing out what to make for Thanksgiving dinner, what should I serve?


Funny you should ask this question because thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, you get to be a glutan and pig out and its ok, bc your supposed too. I get kicked out the kitchen every thanksgiving eve for too many sampler plates!

Im going to vegas for thanksgiving and im going to be thankful that im wit my family and thats most important bc in consequence im taking a week off in the middle of finals for it, so i wish all could eat what im going to have: dressing (not stuffing), honey ham, deep fried turkey, rotessorie hen, 2 types of mac & cheese, vegatables like collard greens and cabbage, maybe roast or prime rib, patatoe salad, candy yams, maybe bbq, and for desert, sweet patatoe pie, peach cobbler & ice cream, bananna pudding, and chocolate cake but if you cant eat what im going to have that is not whats most important, thanksgiving is being thankful that your with family.

Too Shy for Love?

We have our first question here at Ask DsJon.

What's up dog, I like this girl at school but I don't know if she likes me and I'm to shy to just ask her. What should I do?


JA -

Just take her out to lunch, see what she's about. It's innocent

Ask her out to lunch, innocently, just get to know her. Conversate, on an intellectual level. compliments, not sexual complements, but more on her accessories. Have a conversation see if it's more than just sexual attraction. It will be easier to see if you have something in common then you can ask her out on a real date.

Tell her why you like her.

How hot is this girl? If she's really hot, then you have to be competitive in you bid. Then you have to have some shit going If you're out of sight then you're out of mind. You got to, you know, have something that she likes, that she likes in you.

Show her how live of a dude your are, take her out to lunch at someplace special, if you don't know me you don't know anybody.
