...but the Jonas Brothers aren't bad.

Perhaps I should explain.

I've spent the last few months or so slagging of the Jonas Brothers for being talentless idiots with awful songs. Two days ago, I heard When You Look Me In The Eyes played on the radio. I immediately fell in love, and waited around for a while to see if the radio DJ mentioned who sang it. When he said it was by the Jonas Brothers, my heart sank. It really did. But I got over it and I went and downloaded the song. I came to the conclusion that the thing I never liked about the Jonas Brothers, and the reason I never gave them a fair chance, was their fans. Obsessive little tweenage girls who consider the Jonas Brothers to be rock. They're not. They're pop-rock.

But I was thinking that maybe the overly obsessive fans are the reason for people hating other bands, like My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy and Panic At The Disco.

Anyway, after listening to some of the Jonas Brothers' other stuff, I've decided that When You Look Me In The Eyes is the only song of theirs I really like. The rest seem to be a bit to "kiddy" for my liking. But still, at least now I can justify my opinion, which actually makes me feel good about myself.

So, my first blog entry. One of what will hopefully be many! I'm going to be using this blog to share my random ramblings, musings, rants and so forth. I may also post my lyrics or short stories here too.

I've been looking for a good blog host for about a week now. I had initially signed up for Livejournal, but I realized that it had far more settings than I needed. So, I abandoned my Livejournal account and set off in search of a more simple blog. I decided to try Blogger, but I didn't like any of the templates, and when I tried to modify it, it continually played up. So I found My.Opera. Which looked great. Until I tried to put my own header in. The CSS just wouldn't work for me - I swear, that language is evil. It's conspiring against me. It's going to strike when I least expect it. Anyway, after signing up for goodness knows how many other blog hosts, each one of which failed to meet my standards (which, to be perfectly fair, weren't exactly sky-high), I finally found Mindsay. I scouted around the site a bit and it seems to meet every single one of my needs and wants! So, that's how I got here...I told you this was going to be random .

My username, My Own Eternity, comes from the song "Before The Chance To Leave" by Motion In Colour. The four lines in my header are the lyrics from that song that always seem to grab me. My blog name, Out Of The Blue, wasn't really inspired by anything in particular, it just seemed to fit with both the design of the header and the sheer randomosity of this blog.

I don't have much to say now...just a few dates I don't want to forget:
31st January - Elliot Minor at Wrexham. Gutted we missed the signing, but the gig was awesome! Bought myself a signed poster and hoodie (the hoodie wasn't signed though)!
6th April - Showtime! at Wolverhampton. First time seeing Daniel Boys live; he was amazing, of course! And so was Kerry Ellis, but I wouldn't have expected any less from her! I found out about some really good West End performers, namely Ramin Kairimloo, Chris Key and Rebecca Lock. The students weren't good at all - I know they're only young, but if they want to go into the West End, they're going to have to be a million times better than they were. And the sound guy should have been shot. It's one thing to get the kids' mics wrong, but the pros as well? Off with his head!
12th April - Elliot Minor's album arrived in the post, and it was one of the first 500 to be shipped, which means it's signed! So now I have their autographs twice , but I haven't met them once .

'Til next time, then,
Take care!
