Hello! You may call me Alex. I am a 16 years of age. I am a contributor to Misplaced Pages; I created my account at 21:59 on 8 February 2014. My goal here at Misplaced Pages is to improve all articles that interest me or pertain to me and to revert vandalism and welcome newcomers with the help of Twinkle. I express my opinion while striving to maintain a Neutral Point of View. I am a civil person and I always assume good faith – I expect the same from you. I am a proud member of WikiProject Basque.

Personal life

My name is Alex and I am a young man who was born and raised in Miami Beach, Florida. My Father, Alex, is Uruguayan and my Mother, Sandra, is Puerto Rican. My Father was a footballer and model and my Mother was a model. My parents met in New York City in 1995, got married in 1997, and moved to Florida to raise me. My maternal Grandfather is an agricultural engineer and my maternal Grandmother is an artist. My paternal Grandfather is a Gaucho and my paternal Grandmother is a domestic engineer.

Ancestry

I am of Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal descent. I am a descendant of the prehistoric Châtelperronian, Aurignacian, Gravettian, Solutrean, and Magdalenian peoples. I am a descendant of the ancient Aquitani (Aquitanian), Vasco (Vascones), Etrusci (Etruscan), and Eteocretan (Minoan) peoples. I am Basque, Tuscan, and Cretan in origin.

Interests

I love animals and I am an advocate of animal rights. During my early childhood, I had (at different times) a Beta fish, four Syrian hamsters, one dwarf hamster, and a Persian cat. I currently have two cats; a Bombay and an Archangel/Korat mix. I would like to have a dog in the near future. I am particularly fascinated by Delphinidae, Elephantidae, Felidae, Canidae, and Ursidae due to their intelligence and history with humans.

I am a Polyglot and Polymath. My goal is to obtain a Ph.D. in Anthropology. I live a very natural and pure life. I am an amateur boxer. I play football and tennis. I occasionally run naturally. I love skateboarding, snowboarding, mountain biking, and paintball. I want to try adventure running, pelota, and ice climbing in the future. I enjoy spectating rugby and lacrosse.

My favorite U.S.A. sports teams are the Miami Dolphins, Miami Marlins, Miami Heat, Florida Panthers, and Fort Lauderdale Strikers. My favorite international teams are Peñarol, Euskal Herriko, Fiorentina, Bordeaux, Athletic Bilbao, Osasuna, and Real Sociedad.

I enjoy playing video games on my free time. My favorite titles are FIFA, Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, and Call of Duty. I play them on my PlayStation systems. My first video game was Spyro for the PlayStation 1.
