Hi, I'm Alex

  

Hi, my name is Alex Reighard, I grew up and lived in Germantown Maryland my whole life. have two brothers, Nick and Calvin, and live with my Mom and Dad.  Until late last year, I had a dog, Shadow, who we had to put to sleep because of old age and hip issues.  Shadow was a black lab who was actually a police dog, who went to work with my Dad for 12 years.  Shadow was a drug detection canine who did his job very well.  I still miss him very much.  My brother Nick is older and has two kids, Addison and Ace, making me an uncle.  

    Calvin graduated from Shepherd and played football.  Calvin is currently a Graduate Assistant Coach for the football team while he works on his Master’s.

I have a girlfriend Kat.  Kat and I have been friends since high school and have been dating for a little more than a year.  I really enjoy hanging out with Kat and my friends, playing video games and watching movies.

   

    The main reason I am taking this class is because it is a requirement for my minor, obviously.  I do not consider myself a good writer and would like to improve my writing skills in any way I can.  Since this class focuses on comedy, of which I am a huge fan of comedy, I hope that the writing will be somewhat easier since I am interested in the topic.I find a lot of different things funny.  When I am playing with my three-year-old niece and two-year-old nephew, they crack me up. 

Some of the things they say and come up with in their imagination is hilarious.  One of the reasons I enjoy playing video games on-line with my friends is because of the constant teasing and making fun of each other we do during the games.  Nothing hurtful or bullying, just teasing about how the game was played or a certain move they made.  I am usually laughing so hard that my parents will come and tell me to quiet down cause its late.  As far as famous funny women, I enjoy some of the women comedians from Saturday Night Live.  Kristen Wig, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph Rachel Dratch just to name a few.
