I got a fever! And the only prescription.. is more cowbell!
*** Welcome to Alex Land ***
Yeah, so today I was looking at my profile and realized it was ridiculously old, like a year or so since it has been updated. Lots of stuff has happened then such as me moving to College Station. Despite my affinity for the University of Tejas, this place is winning me over with its wild and wacky "yells," and ummm... the scenery.Anyway, back to the about me. My name is Alex. I am awesome, if you don't believe it then get off my page right now. I am not a Texan, I am not even really American. Let's call me, African Caucasian. I was born in KY but spent most of my life till HS living in third world countries and europe, hence my language skills and love of all cultures outside the US.I have a dog named Toki, he might as well be my kid because I treat him like one. If you ask if he is a fox I will fight you right here and now. That or give you the SuFi, depending on my mood. I like people of substance, ie: people who do not waste oxygen, people who have goals, and most of all, people who want to actually improve the world around them.I'm in the Army, at least for now, doing the whole Officer thing, it keeps me productive, but my real love in life is Finance and in particular international investment banking. Now, wait a second, you say Whatt!! that is super uber boring! Investment banking doesn't rock socks? I don't even know who this Dow Jones fellow is! Well my friends , does the Aston-Martin Vanquish rock your socks? Or a personal yacht sitting off the coast of Monaco in the warm waters of the Med do anything for you? It does for me. (Disclaimer: I do not own any of these, just a reference for the intellectually deficient) And hence, my favorite hobby is learning how investing works :) Money doesn't buy happiness, but it sure can help make you smile.Lastly, once my awesome friend Miss Kelley Borer of Boston gets settled, she should be providing my new "about me" section as per her job description, till then we will wait.
