My self-summary
Hi! I'm Alex! I'm a student here in Philadelphia in a digital media
major and music minor, trying to get into the sound design or 3d
modeling industry. When I have free time I enjoy listening to
music, drumming, watching a nice historical war movie or comedy,
playing whatever sport my friends want to play which is usually
soccer and ultimate Frisbee, and a nice game of cards or pool is
really nice on a Friday night.
As far as me being me I'm just a nice guy who doesn't mind going
with the flow (which is probably a big reason of why I'm on here!).
I'm considered the "Dr.Phil" among most of my friends; they love
coming to me for advice and I love trying to give them all the best
advice I can give them. So once every now and then I'll get a call
with a friend going "save me Jesus!" :p.
I consider myself a fun person to be around; I wouldn't say I'm
extremely outgoing or bursting with energy, but I keep a positive
attitude, I'm told I'm a funny guy, and I'm active enough to be
able to walk everywhere around Center City if need be.
Oh, and concerts are awesome. I'm going to plenty of them in the
coming months!
In addition, I get a kick out of seeing people's reactions when I
tell them I'm not a stoner, nor have I ever smoked weed. Contrary
to my physical appearance, I'm telling the truth, I'm drug free! If
you enjoy a little bit of Mary Jane once in a while, that's fine
with me, I just won't be taking a puff from the ol' peace pipe
:).
By the way, French Canadian, and quite a patriot for my province. I
visit my family every long holiday break, and I love being there,
it's a beautiful place! Also, I am trying to get more involved in
the governmental issues of Quebec and sovereignty; this part of me
is rather important in my life. It's a very long story, and I have
a whole lot more to learn, but I'm getting there and if you're
interested in knowing more, I'll try and explain without putting
you to sleep.
OkCupid: Now in French!
Bon bien on dirait que je dois tout recrire!
Je suis Alex, j'ai 20 ans, et je vais a Drexel pour etudier au
college. J'adore la musique, je l'ecoute tout le temps et je joue
au drums en plus. En tout cas ca me tempte pas de tout completement
récrire alors si vous avez des questions envoyez moi un message. :)
What I'm doing with my life
Right now I'm just studying at college working and trying to find a
good paid internship around here, not much else to be quite honest.
Thankfully I do find enough free time to have a life! I try to find
new things to do when I'm free, so I'll usually visit parts of
Philly that I haven't seen yet, or something like that.
I'm really good at
Musical stuff. I don't think I'm a master at the instruments I play
but I can pick them up pretty quickly and also I've got a good ear
to produce music.
Oh and in middle school/high school I was on the wrestling team and
did pretty well. Although I don't do it anymore, I've kept the
skill, and it's the sport I'm best at. I'm pretty horrible at most
team sports (besides volleyball), so I tend to try lots of other
solo sports i.e. soccer, martial arts, rock climbing, trapeze,
biking, all that fun stuff.
Let me know if you're into that kind of stuff and maybe we can go
ahead and parachute off a mountain or something! :p
The first thing(s) people usually notice about me
I've been getting a lot of positive comments about my hair lately,
I try hard to take care of it, not an easy task! Sure, some people
may not think it's the most "manliest" thing in the world, but I
feel that if I'm going to have long hair I should make it look
decent.
As far as personality goes though, most people see me as very
insightful, open minded, and amicable.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: I don't really have a favorite...maybe The Eye of the Needle
by Ken Follett. I've been reading a lot of historical books lately,
which aren't written the same way fiction writers write to make a
story very exciting, but I do love certain parts of history.
Music:
metal
(
folk metal to
be precise). My favorite bands include:
Children of Bodom Korpiklaani Turisas Eluveitie Nightwish Sinergy Red Hot Chili
Peppers Metallica Trivium
Pantera Fear Factory Amon Amarth Lost Horizon Dethklok Combichrist Metsatöll Cruachan Alestorm Ensiferum Finntroll Echo of Dalriada Wintersun Otyg Enter the Haggis Hevia Damian
Movies: 300, Attila, Braveheart, The Last king of Scotland, City of
God, Superbad, 40 year old virgin, and surprisingly, Juno.
TV Shows: I'm a big fan of
cartoons, ranging from family shows
like Spongebob, to less family-oriented cartoons like
South Park and
Metalocalypse. Adult Swim is
hilarious! I also am a big fan of Curb your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld,
and Nick at Nite shows like Fresh Prince, George Lopez, Cosby show,
King of Queens, Everybody Loves Raymond, That 70's Show, King of
the Hill, etc.
I also love watching stand-up when I can! Zach Galifianakis, Dmitri
Martin, Papa CJ, and Brian Posehn are among my favorites these
days. Who are your favorites?
Besides that, I'll watch football, hockey (go Montreal!), and
soccer once in a while, but other than that I don't really watch TV
on a schedule.
food: hmm...I love many kinds of food. All types of classic
American food is great, Italian food is also at the top of my list.
The six things I could never do without
-my music collection
-my musical instruments
-my cat
-my best friends
-the ol' computer has become quite an addiction
-physical fitness...? I ran out of ideas for a 6th one.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
I spend a lot of time guessing what comes next in my life, and also
things to do to improve myself/my life. Whether it's learning
something new or reflecting on how I am with different
people.
Lately I have been thinking hard on where I want to go for co-op
(paid internship) which starts next April. It really depends on
where I get hired. I would love to work for Raven Software, but
it's all the way in Wisconsin. On the other hand, I would love a
job in Montreal too. Of course, it's much, much easier to get a job
in Philly so I'll probably end up doing that.
On a typical Friday night I am
Usually hanging out with some friends or relaxing at home. Then
again, if my roommates are all around we just have fun times at
home whether it's movies, poker, or just having a few friends over!
Otherwise, there are some Friday nights where I have to be a nerd
and do homework :(, but that's ok, there's always the rest of the
weekend...hopefully.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit here
I'm very very gullible, and my friends will sometimes playfully
take advantage of that. Also, if I was willing to live without a
modern home, technology and a substantial amount of food I'd be
running around in the woods with a sword all day. Have fun with
that mental image :p.
You should message me if
You would like to talk to me, go ahead, don't be shy!
Oh...*sigh*...by the way, some may get an impression that I'm some
kind of player because most of my pictures are with other women,
but it should be known that I have more girl friends than guy
friends. In addition, I don't have guy friends who take a bunch of
pictures :p. Thank you for reading!
Also, for those of you who are thinking that I'm too young and
can't hit the bars, give me until January 20th, and I'll be 21, so
you don't have to worry about that!
