I agree. Trying to fit every soultion into a certain pattern is a very bad idea.
Look at what your requirements are and pick a solution that is advantagious.
Patterns are good for describing what type of solution you have selected. It is a bad idea trying to fit a square pattern into a round solution.
At the end of application designing, identify for potential problems from the list of design patterns, if you find a problem then you apply that pattern.
Don't start with design patterns because it says design or the design patterns is the buzz word.
