More rejection, more plans - and Bon Jovi!

Morning folks,

At work this morning - very quiet today. Not surprising - if you're going to exercise today wouldn't you rather do it outside in the sunshine than in a dark gym that has Kiss FM on constantly?

Anyway, got turned down for another loan yesterday. For the moment feel well and truly stuck, but I'm not letting it get to me now - I've got to keep focused on my goal and how I can achieve that goal, so:

- got my list of charities to write to
- cracking on with getting in contact with local newspapers and radio stations
- also looking at getting some recording done so I can sell CDs!
- and emailing people in the business to see if they have any ideas

So far people have been really supportive - thank you!


On another subject...

I was offered free tickets to the Bon Jovi concert last night at the O2 - it was so much fun. It was the first time I'd ever been to the arena, and all I can say is IT'S SO BIG!!! As I was going up the escalators to my level 4 seat (well, they were free tickets) I looked up and got REVERSE VERTIGO. Now, I've never wondered if that was even possible before, but now I know reverse vertigo exists and its home is the O2 arena!

My four highlights of the gig:

1. Sir Bob Geldof!! Yeah, Mr Jovi threw a curve ball early on in the gig and got Sir Bob out from his hole under the stage to sing I don't Like Mondays. Fab.

2. After the obligatory guitar solo in Bad Madicine Bon Jovi started warbling in a strangely familiar manner. Surely not, I though, but yes - the cover of the night was Lulu's Shout! Granted, he got the words allllll wrong, but that didn't matter because the audience loved it!

3. To my reckoning Richie Sambora used at least 6 guitars throughout the performance - six!! My favouriite was the two headed guitar with 12 strings on the lower head.

4. And, of course, the final song of the night was Livin' on a Prayer. By this time (it was a 2hr30mins set) the guys were knackered, but Bon Jovi, as in the rest of the night, was note-perfect and it was the perfect end to the night. How else could they end it?

So a fab night was had, and back onto the hard work today.

Quick question though - if I were to record a CD to help raise funds, what songs would you want to hear me sing?
