About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorFlickr Photos
*******************
I'll let my friends do the talking:
Alex cook is a Christian who has just recently (e.g. - within the last year and a half) moved back to America after teaching English in Japan. He's currently working toward his masters degree in computerology and he keeps one dog and two sugar gliders. The sugar gliders he's only keeping until they are ripe enough to feed to his best friend Eddie (who is infinitely cooler than Alex).
"I once saw Alex bite the head off of a baby bird." - Eddie
"Alex once scaled a wall and slept halfway outside of his window after a peppermint drop went bad." - Eddie
"Lex is a turd." - Eddie
********************************
alex is a really nice guy. no, seriously - it's an obvious fact when you take into account just how many friends the guy has! he's surprising, approachable, an entertaining storyteller, a good listener...supposedly he's good at chess, but i've seen no real proof of this thus far. and he's working on his phd, so i guess one could assume he's intelligent. but again, who actually knows? because above all things, alex is an enigma. so keep an eye on this one ladies; i hear it's the mysterious guys who have all the fun ;)
********************************
Alex Cook is the single most charismatic person I have ever met.
********************************
Alex Cook is a wrestling fool who occasionally can be taken by surprise and beaten by a girl (namely, me). He has a cheek fetish and loves blades of all kinds a lot more a normal human being should! He has a deep relationship with God/Christ and is one of the most loyal and caring people I know. He likes pants and enjoys dancing to music from "The Fifth Element" in his spare time.
********************************
Alex voraciously devours raw, blood-dripping, bovine carcasses. I've witnessed it. Twice. It's other-wordly.
********************************
Dr. Cook
- I think those two words sum you up quite well.
********************************

********************************
is a guy who plays chess at the most outrageous and hopping party, while everyone else is dancing and drinking around him.
********************************
Alex Cook is the craziest guy with the biggest heart.
********************************
the person who knows what A.T Fieled is.
********************************
oo, ooo, ooooo, i know. you should write under your ¨about me¨ section, ¨I have an ego so big I write my name is all capital letters.¨ Ta-daaaaaa!!!
********************************
Always makes time to answer a question - regardless of how silly it may be - compassionate with a good sense of humor
********************************
cuddling, blueberries, wine, crouching tiger hidden dragon.
