Bon Jovi comes to throw a massive gig in Finland next month. He arrives without an opening act though. It's because he's looking for one!

There's a competition where up-and-coming unsigned bands can make it to the big stage as an opening act for Bon Jovi himself! But to get there our band needs fans on this website: www.hitlantis.com

We have a band! It's Joy-Joy!

We started making music together in the fall of 2010. Back then we just got together sometimes and played and we didn't even know each other very well. But now we have developed our own thing. We have so much fun together, I can't ever wait for the next band practice!

We make our own music. At the moment I have written all the lyrics. The songs are about love, loneliness, dreams, life, this world... and they're mostly inspired by my experiences and things happening around. About the music. It is amazing how in a band every person and instrument plays a part, and together it sounds incredible.

We play rock music. It's a bit like pop-rock, I'm not sure if there is a niche for the songs we write. But anyway, we're a rock band! Whoooo!

So, by now we have practiced enough to play... and we are having our first gig on April 18th - in just a couple of weeks! :D I'm so excited! I'll keep you posted. Meanwhile check out our facebook page.

Joy-Joy!

Winter turning into spring slooowly

Hey there! What's up?

I think I just woke up from hibernation. As you might have an idea, it's really dark in Finland in the winter. The sky is pitch black most of the day and night, and when it's 'light' it's still not very bright outside. You might not see the sun in ages because the sky is usually cloudy. So what you see is: everything dark in the morning when you wake up, around noon behind the light gray clouds in the sky a weird spot of light remotely resembling something you remember being called the sun, in the afternoon dark again, and in the evening - well - you can guess.

So I consider it well justified to blame the nature for my lack of energy and enthusiasm.

But now it all has changed! As we roam this northern land in the darkness, day starts slowly sneaking back into our lives and gets longer bit by bit every day. You might not see the gradual change, but suddenly it hits you! It's already light before 8 in the morning! And today I realized it was still not pitch black at 7 pm!

Soon it will be light all the time. But that is what I need. And I'm glad I'm getting it! :D

Good night, good day

It's 3 am and I can't get sleep. I guess it's because of all the thoughts running through my head. I have a lot of thoughts and ideas. And motivation. As the days here in the north are slowly getting brighter and longer, I'm getting more energetic and positive-minded.


Last year was amazing. I can only hope this year will compare. But then again I could just decide it will. Done! This year is gonna be awesome!


But seriously, there are gonna be changes in my life. And that is because I'm gonna graduate. As soon as I get my thesis done. And after that: everything's a mystery! Maybe I'll go and study my master's degree, maybe I'll get a job, or maybe I'll do something else. Or maybe I won't. I'm just saying that come what may. Life is an adventure! :) (And I'm writing this in the middle of the night, so please forgive my slightly over-poetic tone.)


Today again I realized how taking chances might get you something you couldn't even have dreamed of. I don't think you should plan everything ahead. That way you might overlook things that are important for you. Don't be afraid of change. And don't be afraid of taking chances.


Well, new years don't come without resolutions, do they? (They do.) As I said, I'm all energetic and motivated for becoming a better person. (Though I'm absolutely positive I will still be the same ol' me.)


Anyways, I made the same new year's resolutions as probably every other person on this planet making their's: start a healthy lifestyle, experience positive growth in every aspect of your life, and be happy. Same as pretty much every year. But what I figured to do differently this year, is to actually make these things happen. And that is just a matter of attitude! You know what they say: "With the right attitude..."


So. I've exchanged slacking to exercising and dullness to cheerfulness. (And I'm still certain that I will still just be the same ol' me...)


And then I realized, life is not all about achieving your goals. Happiness will not rain upon you when you reach the delicate perfection you've been building around your little world. Life is what happens when you're on your way. You might as well have some fun. :)


Good night! And in couple of hours, good morning! Time to make dreams come true! (Seriously good night...)
