Alex's Bio

I am 26 years old and from Washington, DC. In real life I play a newspaper reporter. I graduated from Virginia Tech in 2006 with a degree in English.

My favorite teams are the Dallas Mavericks, Boston Red Sox, New York Giants and Virginia Tech Hokies. I consider myself a modern fan, in that geography doesn't dictate my teams. My teams have been pretty fortunate of late, but I was also there through the Danny Kannell and Tim Naehring days, so please don't think I'm a fair-weather fan.

I also try to foot for my hometown teams the Nationals, Capitals and Wizards, but not if they play the above teams.

The teams I hate are numerous, and they grow with each passing season. A few of the more obvious include the New York Yankees, Miami Hurricanes, San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Cowboys.

I'm fascinated with Greenland and the walking undead. I enjoy teasing animals, Banlon, and seeing people run for their lives. I like to throw garbage out the window, yet I'm extremely dainty.

I also enjoy playing guitar, watching movies, playing basketball, golfing, radio, 60's R&B, obnoxious hats, awkward moments and most breakfast food.

I write on a few other topics at the following sites:
