Your love is like bad medicine!

January 16, 2006

So last night me and Natalie went to see us some Bon Jovi. I wanted to go because I can appreciate a good solid rock band, and because they were a small part of my hair metal devotion back in the day. Natalie wanted to go because she wanted to hear one single song, that being "Living on A Prayer," which of course they did sing and of course it was the absolute favorite song out of all of them.

They do put on a really good show, and man alive, Jon Bon Jovi is one good looking man, even if he might be rocking what looks to be somewhat of a mullet. Richie Sambora isn't bad either. They both sang "I'll Be There For You" on the same microphone, and their lips were like inches from each other. I think they should go have some rock star babies, really.

Jon rocked the "Blaze of Glory" and made me all happy excited. There was also a lot of new songs and I felt like such a poser because the only new one I knew was "Have a Nice Day" and that's only because it's on the radio all the time. Sorry, y'all. I really do like your stuff, but old school is the way to go.

We left before the end of the first encore because it was getting late and I'm really old and had to get to work this morning. Isn't that lame? I didn't even know they did a SECOND encore until I read it in the paper this morning. That's some hardcore Bon Jovi love for us Dallasites.

One thing I didn't like about the concert was that it seemed like it lacked spontaneity. Now, I know they do a million shows a year and have it down to a science, but it just didn't even seem like he was throwing anything remotely new in there at all, like it was some elaborately planned show. I didn't dig that part of it.

Here's some pictures for your entertainment:

This was my first outfit, but I changed into a GN'R shirt because hey, I gotta represent Axl somehow.

The horns were a big player last night.

Here are me, my 3 chins, and Natalie:

We had our waiter take this picture...we were at Gloria's, some of the best mexican food you will ever put in your mouth!

Natalie and the queso:

Natalie rocking out:

I have curly hair here for some reason:

So, yeah. No actual pictures of the concert because I didn't take my camera in. Natalie was a pretty awesome concert partner, although she did get really annoyed with the text messages displayed on the jumbotron. She's a nutty girl.

In other news, look! Axl's alive and actually hanging out with real actual humans! This picture was taken last Friday at some kind of party for Korn or some such...

I don't know what makes me sadder...the fact that he's STILL rocking the braids/jersey combo, or that he's hanging out with such a suck ass band as Good Charlotte. Oh, Axl.

But he doesn't look that...bad. I like the beard. It's all reddish. Josh has the red beard action going too. I can dig it.

Speaking of Josh...I just don't really want to talk about it. My mom kind of had an intervention with me the other night...she said I was "regressing" and ever since I started seeing him I act different. I don't disagree with her. At all. I've given myself a deadline and we'll see if I can stick with it. He's just so cute and fluffy and loves me so much, you know? *sigh*

In other news, I was such the kick ass captioning queen today. I really rocked that ass. Plus, I got to work on this show on HBO called Cathouse. That's the first time, in almost the year I've been there, that I've worked on anything that had actual vaginal penetration right in front of me on my computer. Now, you guys know I'm all about the porn, but to see it at work was just really strange and not really right. But it was still pretty cool.

I finally got the balls to ask the HR chick about the raise I was supposedly going to get in November, and she said it went through and everyone did what they were supposed to do, but the head guy hasn't signed it yet. That's okay, and you know why? They now owe me retro pay going back to the first week of November, including overtime. I added it up and I've done, like, 70 hours of overtime since then. Hell yeah, I'm rocking that shit.

Anyway, I am tired. There are things I want to say but won't because if I did I'd be here all night and that's just not fun.

Good night, D-Land. Don't let the bed bugs bite.

"Mike (isn't that a cute name?) is off today, like most normal humans, and he's helping a friend's grandmother move. Awww! So helpful. At one point, he sent me a text message to listen to one of the radio stations, so I put it on and "You Give Love a Bad Name" by Bon Jovi was on. I'm pretty sure he wanted me to listen merely because we were just talking about how he really enjoys him some Bon Jovi, but still.. interesting song to want me to listen to, right?"
