Alex

What can I say about Alex? He has the most nicknames in the apartment. He pays our bills on time. He is equally as addicted to Scrubs as I am. And he is a great guy. Genuine would be the word I use to describe him. What you see is what you get. To quote the great, green philosopher Shrek, Alex is like an onion. "Onions have layers. Ogres have layers." Alex is not an ogre, most of the time, but he does have layers. The more you get to know him the more you like him.



We spent winter break in Madison together. We both had to work and since no one else was around we spent most of our time hanging out together. I had known him pretty well beforehand, but in the cold winter weather of Wisconsin there isn't a lot to do beside drink a few beers and shoot the bull for a while. We got to know each other pretty well. There are few people that I respect more than Alex. People give him a lot of crap but he is pretty kickass.

My favorite thing about Alex is that he is down to Earth. He knows whats going on. He enjoys simple things like Scrubs. Alex can easily watch four hours a day of Scrubs (more if it were on more). And I can watch it with him. It's a great show. It really is the simple things in life that mean the most. Sure Alex can get worked up about things from time to time, but who doesn't. You put a Wii-mote in his hand or turn on his favorite show and he is as happy as a clam.
