I don't know what I wanna be. All I know is that I want to live a fairly comfortable life, marry a girl that loves me for me and have the marriage last, divorces suck. Work a decent job that pays well enough to support a family and still have "toys."
I'd really like to do something related to cars. I can see myself building performance cars and owning my own shop 15 years down the road. Even if I haven't done anything real in-depth yet. I wish there was a local Honda shop that did swaps and stuff that I could intern at and learn how to do everything the right way. I love problem solving and building things.
I'd like to know how to paint cars too. Nothing fancy, just one color paint jobs.

Oh, I do a little here and there.
Along the same lines here.
Since you ask what, and not who:
A man that offers help to those who least expect it, yet most deserve it.
The man that shows his love and dedication to family and friends through his actions and not just his words.
The man that recognizes and reciprocates humanities goodness, yet exposes and destroys the evil that pervades it.
The anti-hypocrite, true to every word he speaks and honest with himself about his flaws.
The epitomy of self-sufficiency, problem solver, educated through personal experience and made wise by mistakes made along the way.
A good father.

I'm not gonna lie. At 18 I know exactly what I wanna be and I am not only striving to do it I am basing my life about doing anything I can to get there. I learned at a young age what I wanted to do and have been pursuing since then. I wanna be a mechanic, not any mechanic, not some guy who works at midas for the rest of his life doing quality work and moving on like that. I wanna be much like Chip Foose except my artistry is more in the motor. I can and love to paint cars as well and would have no problem with it if that is how I ended up, painting cars that is, but I would prefer to work on the motor. I will be starting college in august at Arapahoe Community College, doing business managment classes, and any other required classes to recieve an associates of a applied science for auto tech. Then in January I will be moving down to Arizona to attend UTI for auto tech, and their custom motor tuning class. I would also like to attend the hot rod class up at Wyotech which I may still do but I figure I will knock out ACC, and UTI first then get a good job and then take that class at Wyotech.
By the way Klyph that was very deep. I like this thread it is different than most on here and it gives you a better understanding of people who in some cases you talk to on an almost daily basis that live miles away.

Very nice. It kind of sounds Thoreau...Did you write that?
What he wants to 'be' is content with another person. It's just worded differently.
What I want to be is still undecided like alot of the posts so far. I'd say Klyph's is the closest for me, with B's thrown in there too.

I was thinking of how to say what I want to be, and this is very close to it.
I have found that I get great pleasure out of extending a helping hand to someone who truly needs it and is appreciative of it in some way. I have really wanted to get involved in charity work of some kind, and be a Big Brother. I grew up with just me and my mom, no bros or sis or father, so I know how important a good male role model can be in a young boys life. As far as charity, I want to help out with the homeless. I don't have anyone close to me who has been through being homeless, but it's an issue that really moves me inside. Unfortunately, I find myself always making the same excuse of not having time between work and school, and now gas is so expensive i really cant afford it.
I want to positive role model in my childs life. My parents divorced when I was 2, and I didn't know much of my dad throughout my life, and he passed away when I was 17. I did have both my moms father and my dads stepfather, who stayed very close to my mom and I, who have shaped who I am now. They are both very different people, but have characteristics that I admire. My moms father passed away when I was 10, so I didn't get to spend many years with him, and my dads stepfather, who i call grandpa even though he's not blood, is still alive and kicking and is still working and golfing at 70+ years old just to keep himself busy.
I have very conflicting views on money, like most people probably do. I would be happy with an average middle class life. I do not want to live in debt or above my means, so I can deal with whatever life I can afford.
As far as career, I am headed towards an architecture degree. Shit, I've been working at this for 5 damn years because I always put school behind work. I'm not in a hurry though, I see no real reason to be other than I can finally settle a little more and have a family. I eventually want to have my own firm, and have no desire to work for a big corporate arch firm. I am extremely interested in architectural theory and some of the great architects who practice arch to explore theories and ideas and not just to build track homes and get payed. I hope to one day follow in these footsteps.
Yea this is getting long so I'm gonna cut it off here, that pretty much sums it up anyway.

Of course he is one of the greats, but is only one in many. Honestly I get tired of that question, as do most of the other people I know, just because everyone knows who he is, and here in the U.S., the term architecture usually conjures up an image of Fallingwater in people's minds. It's funny how when you look at typical american buildings, how many of them have traits of his in them.
It seems that half of the books that family and friends have got for me as gifts have been on FLW, lol. He's great though. One thing about him that I like is how he uses changes in floor and ceiling heights to define spaces instead of using walls. If you do a little reading on him though, you start to see that as a person he wasn't too great.
I think that I'm more inspired by Luis Kahn, Tadao Ando, Robert Venturi, oh and Rem Koolhaas is cool too. He has some interesting stuff to say, and his buildings are awesome. If you want an interesting and pretty hard read, check out Venturi's essay "Complexities and Contradictions in Architecture"
no, i thought it said that at first also.

Sorry. I like the sound of this Venturi character. Mayhaps I will venture up to the library later and find that book.

No, I really didn't mean that I hate being asked that, just saying that people tend to connect FLW to architecture. It's one of those things where he's really important, but after hearing about him so much, you get bored of it, haha. The Venturi book is good, but the writing is complex. Don't be surprised if you have to read each page a few times and still don't grasp everything. I have a professor who went to Penn for arch while Luis Kahn taught there, and Venturi and Eisenmann were arch grad students i think, and he even says that book is hard to grasp. This is coming from a guy who teaches honors arch theory.
