He likes hot wings


Alex is always an interesting subject to me. In fact, I can never stop taking his picture because I am completely fascinated by his approach to life. Something I secretly admire about him is the way he eats. I surely don't admit this to his face....I don't have time to with all the jokes and jabs I have to deliver while he carelessly piles his entire plate of food into his mouth in one bite, sauces and crumbles of this and that left smeared across his face from the nose down, little bits left in his beard and his lips shiny and begging for a napkin. But you see, he doesn't care. He eats with abandon and is as blissful as a baby. Sometimes we see these idiosyncrasies as something to add to our list of pet peeves and beg for them to change, but what does that say about us? I'd rather find him adorable and admire a quality he clearly possesses that I do not.
