[Short Synopsis On Me]
I'm Jonny, other information that is not listed above would be that I am currently involved with People to People, I'll be traveling to Europe this coming summer and I'll be gone for 21 days exploring Switzerland, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, France and England. I'm a lucky bastard, I know. Ethos is my band's name. I am the lead guitarist and I lead sing along with Dan Winston... the url is http://meadvilleemo.tripod.com you can get the info there... Also, I am planning to duel-major in Musical Theatre and Musical Education, because I'm just a musical kind of guy! I'm hoping to attend UCLA or Julliard (like that is going to happen). Yes, I am bisexual if you are wondering from the excessive "flamming" on this page, haha. It has been questioned by others before, and the answer is yes (and I'm not trying to get chicks Justin... how would that really work anyway?).
Thats all for now... I'll have more later, thanks for stopping by.
 Wow... I act gayer than I thought I did... lol
All for none, and none for all...

An Update on Me
I havn't been on this blog in a while, so I figured it would be time for an update. Alot has been happening to me lately, and alot is going to happen to me soon...
I'm officially depressed, it isn't a show, it isn't trying to be emo, I just am depressed. Nothing lately has been going the way it should, or at least how I feel it should go... hopefully this trip at the end of the month to Europe will take my mind off everything... God I need a vacation (3 days left of school!). Tons of my friends are graduating this year, so I'm kind of bothered by that... I still have some friends here, but between Dom, Dan, Felix, Alayne, Craig... that is going to do some damage.
I've lost so much this year, I wish I could go back and fix the problems... I've been such an idiot... but most of the problems I don't know how to fix, and I'm not sure that I am at fault for them. I feel as though I'm being distanced by some of my closest friends, that has been troubling me, one of my friends claims not to know me anymore... some of my other friends have me questioning if they ever liked me in the first place... this may sound like a huge emo thing, but yet again, its just how I feel. (<-- wow that was a huge run-on)
I'm thinking of quitting writing my play and just directing for my senior project, I don't think it will get accepted by the Academy, and I really want to do "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" by Sondheim. It is one of my favourite productions and I know of alot of people who would take interest in it. I really don't like my play, I think its incredibly dry and I wish I could just do a comedy, and a musical at that, I love music, its where I flourish. I was given false hope about my play, or so I think, I'll get the final word when Shilling finishes reading it... I just want a completely 3rd party honest opinion on it.
Remembering Next Tuesday is kind of... dead, however, Ethos is taking its place. Ethos is now my full-time band and it has kind of expanded itself... http://meadvilleemo.tripod.com is the URL. If you saw us at the show on May 8th... that was only a sample, we've changed alot since that show.
I guess the last thing I have to say is that I've updated my profile (the left side of the screen). The errors have been fixed and the synopsis has been updated. Thats about it for now...

To Be A Fool
Something just occured to be while I was talking to my bestfriend... She and I were speaking of depressions and if despair really lasts forever, of can it be relieved... and how?
I brought upon my theory that if you give yourself time to think, by telling yourself that what you're lingering on isn't worth your time, then fooling yourself may actually be help you with your problems...
"I don't agree," she says, "fooling yourself can never help."
I reply with "So you don't think there is a way to rid yourself of despair?"
"Yes, but fooling yourself can't help..."
I then realized how stupid I'd been in the past years, and I realized why I've been so depressed. I've been running from all of my problems... this entire time... She was right, fooling yourself can never help, and I've just found that out the hard way. Suddenly as she left, everything that has been torturing me for the past year hit me all at once... and it was proven that running doesn't help, it can all catch up to you. As I laid my head upon my desk, covering my ears in futile attempt to keep out the voices and dialogue which haunt and taunt me, I had wished I would have been wise enough. I wish I wouldn't have ran, because as soon as the thoughts are triggered, they are relentless. There is no shame in running until you forget you are.
I guess my point is to face your problems, fight your depression, find a realistic way to get over it... fooling yourself and running doesn't do a damn thing. Thanks for listening to my ranting...

Foggy Day (my latest song... COMMENTS PLEASE)
This is my latest song, I think it is my best work. I just want to know what you think.
All of my work is copyrighted.
Foggy Day
By: Jon Blank
Walking through the cypress on the ides of a foggy day
I look to my right and remember you had since gone on your way
Damned if I never tried to chase you on that day
But in retrospect I realized it was futile, what could I say
But you can’t say I didn’t try
If you do then it’s a lie
Because you know I followed you…
Through Hell I chased you…
<CHORUS>
When you thought I was good and gone (echo)
You look in the mirror and realized you’re wrong (echo)
(together) Now where did you get the idea this is how you belong
(solo) You clearly belong with me…
Walking through the fields white with fog on a summer’s kiss
I look to my left and remember you had always brought me bliss
Damned if I never wished I could get one final kiss
Now in retrospect I realize its not so futile, you’re who I miss
And you can’t say I will not try (echo)
If you do then it’s a lie (echo)
(together) Because you know I’ll never cease…
Through Hell I’ll never cease…
<CHORUS>
When you thought I was good and gone (echo)
You look in the mirror and realized you’re wrong (echo)
(together) Now where did you get the idea this is how you belong
(solo) You clearly belong with me…
<BRIDGE>
And you’ll soon feel the same way you did way back when…
And we’ll walk through the cypress thick with fog and then my girl then…
I’ll no longer have to chase you ahh-gain
I’ll no longer need to chase you again…
<REPEAT FIRST VERSE ACAPELLA>
<CHORUS>
When you thought I was good and gone (echo)
You look in the mirror and realized you’re wrong (echo)
(together) Now where did you get the idea this is how you belong
(solo) You clearly belong with me…
I would love to have your comment on this song...

Today, I finished the first quarter of my senior project. I finished revising the first act of my script. My senior project is to write and direct (possibly act in) a play. I read through and changed any grammatical errors as well as add extra dialogue. The play is now 23 pages long and in read-through time takes about 20 minutes to half an hour. Actually performing it (with scene changes) would probably be about 30 minutes to 45 minutes. This means I still have to add a bit of dialogue into the first act and possibly add some extra scenes. Anyway, I'm pretty psyched about it. I really like how its coming along, my revision of the play has changed it from a completely dramatic production to a more comedic drama.
Elyss is a senior in highschool who wants nothing more to become a famed musician. However, her life isn't quite that simple. Most of her friends, including her band, pretty much disown her making it difficult to get through the emotional triumphs that are set for her. Her boyfriend is a complete jerk who is pessimistic of Elyss' dreams. He also is very controlling in a manipulative way. Her father is an abusive drunk who really just doesn't know how to take care of her. The only person who is really always there for her is her bestfriend named Blair. Blair is a bit of a musician himself, but more so focuses on theatre. Blair is in love with Elyss and just wishes that she'd leave that egocentric moron she's been dating. This theatrical performance isn't about getting famous, its about having fun and getting through the hardships while trying to become famous. Its a travesty that Elyss must deal with every day... but she holds strong and gets through it.
This may sound like some Mandy Moore flick, but trust me. If I were rating this movie, it would be PG-13 for all of the swearing and suggestive scenes. If you have ever been pushed back and had to fight for your dreams, or have ever loved someone so close to you but nothing ever is enough to show it... You'll love this show. When it is debuted and finally over, it will be published, I'm going to try my damndest to get this into a well-known theatre.

This song IS written about someone... but I don't want to take risk of them seeing it... Anyway, here it is.
The Red Tears of Angst
By: Jon Blank
20 seasons…
that’s the length of time I’ve thought of you
that’s the length of time my heart has stopped for you
1,825 days…
That is the length of time I’ve had my mind on you
That is the length of time I’ve wondered if you love me too
But in those five years that passed us by,
The single question has been denied
so I’ll continue to write the epic that will sell 1,825 copies
…a season
<CHORUS>
The Red Tears of Angst…
Story of a portion of my life
Story that has driven me to death…
When it is a best seller…
Bet your life your picture will be the cover
The cover of 1,825 other novels…
20 seasons…
That’s the length of time I failed to believe (voice over: It was not meant to be)
That’s the length of time I failed to conceive (voice over: It was not meant to be)
1,825 days…
That is the length of time I’ve been cry-hy-ing
That is the length of time I’ve been (with angst) dying…
In that half-decade…
either you never realized I cared or you could-have-cared less…
<CHORUS>
The Red Tears of Angst…
Story of a portion of my life
Story that has driven me to death…
When it is a best seller…
Bet your life your picture will be the cover
The cover of 1,825 other novels…
<BRIDGE>
Before I publish the book
Please agree to use your name
For your name appears 182,000 times
That is enough to think of you one hundred times a day…
And it still isn’t even close to being factual
But what do you care?
You’re the reason the book is there!
…You never cared…
<CHORUS>
The Red Tears of Angst…
Story of a portion of my life
Story that has driven me to death…
When it is a best seller…
Bet your life your picture will be the cover
The cover of 1,825…
The Red Tears of Angst…
My tribute to you
My tribute to love…
When it sells 1,825…
Remember that each page is soaked in five…
of my tears…

Hmm, so I spend two hours writing my über-review of The Return of The King on this damn thing to find out that the site is down when I upload it. So I lost everything I was trying to write... it really blows because it honestly took me two hours to write. I wrote a review on every cast member of Return of the King... I had to sit and think of what to write, I don't even want to return to this site I'm so angered by this. I took time to look up the exactly spelling of every cast members name and I had to make sure I spelled the character names right........................
I seriously can't stress how angry I am, this is the end of the blog... bye... I'll redo it this weekend.

TODAYS RANDOM TOPIC (republished issue)
Ah... what I'm built on, RANDOMNESS. This would be why this site is titled "New Random Files...". When I don't know what to write about, I just pick a random topic and stick with it.
TODAYS RANDOM TOPIC:::
"homosexuality, what's wrong with it?"
There are so many people are under the missconception that homosexuality is a horrible thing that sends you to Hell automatically. Those who think this aren't exactly very Christian themselves. You see, homosexuality isn't a sin, its partaking in the intercourse which is a sin. The reason of this is because you can't have children in homosexual intercourse, therefore, it is considered lust. Lust being one of the seven deadly sins (which is taking over the world [whether you're homosexual or heterosexual]) is why it is said that homosexuals go to hell. Now, mind me this, all sins are equal in God's eye, the seven deadly sins are deadly because they are the most common and most overlooked. If a homosexual was to walk under the arches of a church, they'd be forgiven, so anyone who tries to change a homosexual should just stop. I don't understand homophobic men. Homophobic men are always so caught up in themselves because they'll go so far just to say that they're right. I can think of hundreds of occasions where I have taken their false accusations and counter-exampled them. I've had forum wars so many times with homophobics on www.dashboardconfessional.com its fun really. It proves that those who don't know anything are always "the experts" though. Any homophobic guy I'm sure has no knowledge on the subject. They usually use false statistics that are put on the web to shade homosexually from us. Although the war never finishes between us, everyone that sees the forum knows I reign supreme over them. People think that there is no love involved in homosexuality... heh... FALSE! There is just as much love in homosexuality as there is in heterosexuality, there are the "sluts" though, but that is the same in heterosexuals. Statistics say that "the average homosexual has over 100 partners a week"... heh... who gave those statistics... Hitler? I've never met a guy who has had more than one partner a MONTH. Come on people, tell me you've never met a straight guy who hasn't had more than one partner a month, oh you can't? Case clear.
If you think I'm wrong that that homosexuality is such a horrible thing... try me...
email me at jblank_2_vogue@hotmail.com I'll be waiting.
(I love you maddox, lol)
724,921 people realized that there isn't anything wrong with being gay.
