My real name is Lars and, just so you know, my last name isn't "Noxt", it's just a pseudonym. Anyone who calls me, and they are few, call me Lars, but you can refer to me as "Poet Laureate of Houston, Texas". Haha! Bask in my conceit!
I'm a short 5'9" with brown hair and hazel eyes. As you may have noticed in the picture up top, I wear eye glasses. But I only wear them cause they make me look nerdy. And everyone knows that nerdy = super sexy.
I used to work for the US Army, which everyone knows isn't a job, but a self-inflicted prison sentence. After six years of service capped off by six months in Iraq, I took my walking papers and entered the civilian world with a glee usually reserved only for small children and the insane. I now work at a "corporate paperback" bookstore in the Woodlands, Texas. It's fine work, very low-stress, but I am taking college classes because I've been led to believe it is the best way to get a good job. Good meaning "well-paying". Haha.
In the free time I have(when I'm not typing up silly websites) I like to read. Lately I'm trending toward classic 20th century fiction, but I also read history, politics and philosophy. Magazines I like are Harper's, Atlantic and National Review. Oh, my favorite book so far is Hemmingway's "A Farewell to Arms". Further, I write poetry and am concurrently working on a novel. To be published is my little dream.
I also like art. I go to the museum in Houston when I can, but I have a few books of art to keep me occupied when I get the itch to stare at paintings. I don' have a favorite artist, but my favorite movement is 19th century French impressionism. I also like to draw, not that I'm great but I'm pretty good, and it does sooth me when I'm stressed.
Finally, the last, and least accomplished of my hobbies, is guitar playing. I have a Fender Strat electric. So far the best I do is strum Eagles tunes on it. Oh I like to sing too; that's the reason I began playing in the first place.
Ok, now you know what goes on in my head most of the time. The rest I spend sleeping. |
