Welcome


In short, this website is a hodgepodge of elements thrown together by yours truly for the sole purpose of amusing myself and, perhaps occasionally, others. Most likely you'll just find it boring though. After all, who really wants to sift through photos and videos, read the projects I've constructed for school and/or on the side, or, worst of all, take a look into the inner-workings of my mind on my blog (My Musings)?

I am Alex Laird, a student set to graduate from Cedarville University in 2011 with a major in Computer Science, though I try to socialize in such a way that people wouldn’t realize it. In case tales of our high esteem and valor have not already graced your ears, Cedarville University is a Christian Liberal Arts college in Ohio hailing roughly 3,500 students (and growing happily).

I have one brother (Andrew), a sister (Ashley), and an exceptionally crazy sister (Jenna), all older than I. All my siblings are married and have dispersed themselves throughout the country. Our family seems noticeably different from every other family because my siblings, parents, and I actually get along. Not only that, but we actually like each other! As much as I would never admit it in person, or to one of their faces, I'm actually very close to everyone in my family, and I love them all very much.

Being born and raised into a Christian family, I have since made God (not religion!) the center of my life; Christianity is something I'm very passionate about, which is most likely one reason I've decided to attend a Christian University and get a Bible minor. My Faith in Christ is the most important thing in my life.

As far as personal interests and random facts go, I'm very interested my dog (Ernie), programming and web design, ping-pong, Rubik's cubes, basically anything Apple makes, and Worms World Party. I've never officially been able to decide on a favorite band, but I'll usually listen to any music from any genre. More specifically, I love music with good and meaningful lyrical content, especially that I can relate to personally. As far as movies go, my favorites are Gladiator, The Emperors New Groove, and The Simpsons Movie. On that note, my favorite TV show is The Simpsons, and I'm in the process of collecting all the Seasons on DVD. I also love Lost!

In addition, I love witty sarcasm and all things humorous. Bill Cosby and Jerry Seinfeld are always a favorites, as far as comedians go, and I'm currently digging Brian Regan and Demetri Martin. And let us not forget the ingenious duo that makes up Flight of the Conchords.

Oh, and I love anything related to fire, explosives, and just danger, in general.

In closing, be true to your school just like you would to your girl, and your dreams come true. Also, don't eat yellow snow. Enjoy the site!
