About Me

Male
19 years old
Portsmouth, New Hampshire
United States
Last Login: A few years ago.
Right now I occupy that strange space between where I've been, and where I'm going. As it is, my only true calling in life is to pursue a music-related career, and to be honest, that's all I really want. However, there are still many questions left unanswered, and many loose ends in my life left untied. Wisdom is always welcome. Chris Laux --

My Interests

Watching the stars at night. Thinking about all the things I should have done differently in life. Composing trumpet, piano, and vocal music, and absolutely losing myself in it. Yeah, so I'm weird. Whaddya gonna do about it, huh? If you haven't already heard, I sing a mean bass and play a modestly incredible trumpet.It should be noted that while I do compose for piano, I can't actually play the instrument. My left hand just doesn't wanna do it...

I'd like to meet:

I've met a lot of people. Just haven't talked to most of them in a long time...

Music:

Classic rock: Boston, Metallica, Van Halen... Celtic rock: Seven Nations, Lenahan, Carbon Leaf... Classical: Berlioz, Shostakovich, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky... Techno/Electronic: Daft Punk, Binary Finary, Heiko Laux (my cousin!)... Jazz: Tom Harrell, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton Marsalis... Just to name a few.

Movies:

I know I'm committing suicide here, but I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with the new Star Wars trilogy. Aside from stiff acting and a few failed attempts at drama (Vader's scream "NNNNOOOOOOOO!" at the end of Ep.III anyone?)Generally though, Hollywood really died a long time ago.

Television:

Battlestar Galactica. South Park. Ghost Hunters. Not much else to watch these days.

Books:

Ahh... what was the last thing I read? Digital Fortress... that'll show you where to stuff your Da Vinci Code...

Heroes:

Darkwing Duck.
