Alex

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Allow me to reintroduce myself. I'm Retrokid. Or Alex. Either one. I even respond to "hey you". I'm your every day normal guy, except I have more shoes than you. And a cooler job. And stalkers, hangers-on, and admirers. I also eat hot pockets by myself, and/or with other people. Ok. So I don't know if I have a cooler job than you, or my stalkers are better than your stalkers. I do like to eat hot pockets though, and I'm pretty sure I have more shoes than you.
I travel a lot, and I like to take pretty pictures and write random thoughts. So I have an exciting life. Or so others tell me. I'm also a vampire. Or an insomniac. I think vampire though, that'd explain the blood and cape. If you want to hit me up, you can always leave a comment or email me...
I also have several "twins" out there in the world, in the form of Yasuharu Konishi of the band Pizzicato 5 and Takashi Murakami of LV fame...check my pics for the uncanny resemblance. Other than that, I'm pretty boring. I just play with my cats and go to work.
