​

My name is Alex, I'm a 15 year old boy living in Fairfax, VA, A suburb of Washington DC. I'm currently enrolled at Northern Virginia Community College, and hope to move on to a degree in either political science, psychology, or possible something in sound engineering in a few years. I adore music, all kinds of music. Though I typically give metal, it's subgenres, and it's close ilk preference over other forms of music. I can sort of play the guitar, and am a vocalist in a thusfar unnamed metal band. I love politics, history and humanities in general. Above all though I love the people that make my life what it is. My wonderful girlfriend. My friends. My Father. and the acquaintance​s who are not quite friends yet but make existence special nonetheless.​

I've met a few of the people who make my life special on this site, and I hope to meet more. I met my friends Emilia and Sierra, and am very happy to know them.

Hablo un poco Español.

Personality-​wise I don't fully understand myself, so it's hard for me to explain what I'm like. I am many things to many people. In general though, I'm a very analytical. I'm very talkative, and adore it when someone can carry on an intelligent conversation​ about anything. I'm a xenophile, and adore talking to people who make me feel a little more connected to the world outside los Estados Unidos. I'm extremely sarcastic a good deal of the time. I'm random, but isn't everyone? I really love the darker elements of life, as well as carefree happiness that I try to have as often as possible. The sordid elements of life are beautiful to me in their own way, just as well as the romantic and inspirationa​l ones are.

Firstly, I'm really interested in making friends. It doesn't happen often, but I've made two of my best ever friends on this site. So essentially,​ I love meeting people… discussing their lives, discussing who they are, discussing my life and who I am, our outlooks on the world around us and just… anything. Life is beautiful (except when it's not x] ) and I just… like to take in as much of it as possible, and hopefully be able to share as much of it as possible with as many people as possible.

I am incredibly fascinated with politics. I don't care what your viewpoint is, where you're from, or how old you are, I love hearing different people's takes on current events, different sides of the stories, and just… general discussion… I have a bit of a leftist bent (okay, a bit is an extreme understateme​nt, but generally during discussion I tend to tone down my biases as much as I possibly can…).

So drop me a message about anything… I live for human discussion…

Well, no, honestly I live for a hell of a lot of things…

But human discussion is one of them.

Or hell, just randomly surprise me on Skype, MSN, AIM, or Yahoo some time. It's all good.

I love the rare event of making a good friend on the internet, but even if we only talk once, I'll be glad to have met you.

Taking Spanish 101 at the local Community College soon… anybody who can help me with Spanish is welcome to… I must admit though, I really am completely ignorant of how the language exchange process work. So… you're also agreeing not to comment on my ignorance of the process if you chose to engage me in a language exchange. Can't really help with anything other than English, but will be happy to help with that.

History, Politics, Religion, Theatre… there are more, but I'm too lazy to fill this in right now.

Rammstein, Mushroomhead​, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Rage Against the Machine, Psyclon 9, Apocalyptica​, Goatwhore, Vera Lynn, Metallica, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, After Forever, The Agonist, Black Sabbath, Eazy-E, N.W.A., DAM, The Doors, Emigrate, System of a Down, Walls of Jericho. etc. etc. etc.

Saraband, Casablanca, Paradise Now, the list goes on waaaaaaay too long.

A long list… crowne​d by the works of Paco Ignacio Taibo II
