This Sunday, Bon Jovi will play in Belgium. They will rock. They will be slashy. I will not be seeing them.

I wanted to go. I still do. But I've considered the pros and cons, and the cons are just way in the majority. Basically, the pros are that I love their music and that they're slashy. Yes, that's pretty much the reasons I'm going to see U2, as well. But.

It's expensive, and NY is two weeks away, and I would get home at 3AM, leaving me 3 hours of sleep. This wouldn't be a problem, except I'm exhausted as it is. I'll be chatting tonight, and tomorrow is my brothers birthday party, so I won't be in bed before 1 either. Two hour on the train and bus, followed by an hour or more outside on a muddy field, followed by 2 more hours on bus and train, followed by a 30 minutes walk home followed by 3 hours of sleep before a full and busy working day -- I tire thinking about it.

I cannot afford this so close to NY. And god, but I remember a time when I could recover a whole night's sleep in two day's. I still can, technically, it's just ... I think I've finally driven my body too far. I need to start going home earlier. I need to get in bed by eleven, midnight max. I need to clean my room and do laundry and go home for more than sleeping.

Sigh. Ignore me, people. I'm trying to recover from a minor family crisis here. I'm not as tired as I sound and feel right now.

Ignore the cons, go see Bon Jovi - if not for your sake, mine =) Think of the poor New Zealander who will *never* get to see them live, no matter how much she loves them. They'll never come down to New Zealand to put on a concert ...

There are very few people/bands I'd rather see perform live. Queen is one of them, Robbie Williams is the other. Now, Queen might be a bit hard with Freddy still being dead last time I checked, but it looks like the remaining Queen members *are* going to be doing a world tour, with a substitute lead singer. That singer? ROBBIE!!

Ehem. Don't mind me, I'm rather hyped about the possibility. I doubt they will come to NZ either, but they *will* go to Australia. And for that particular combination, I'm willing to shell out the airfare on top of the concert tickets.

Heh. I shelled out money for the airplane, plus the hotel, plus probably a whole lot of money on food and clothes, to go see U2 in the States. And they are coming to Belgium -- and I'mna see them here, too. :)

That's why I can't go to Bon Jovi. I'd be so exhausted I'd collapse before/during NY, and I need all my money to spend over there.
