Ok, not THE biggest, but still pretty big considering I am still in love with an 80s hair band. However, they\u2019re older, have more marriages (and divorces) under their belts, have a new image, and, best of all, have a slew of albums!  Their latest, <b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Circle-When-Were-Beautiful-DVD\/dp\/B002N2XYBU\">The Circle<\/a><\/b>, is simply amazing.  Yes, I am the girl that buys their CDs on the day they come out. And I don\u2019t buy CDs! The only ones I ever buy are for Bon Jovi.<\/p>\n<p>Y\u2019all should all know by now \u2013 if you\u2019ve been following me from the start at least \u2013 that <a href=\"http:\/\/needles-pens.blogspot.com\/2009\/08\/i-see-light.html\"><b>I am graduating<\/b><\/a> from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ecu.edu\/\"><b>East Carolina<\/b><\/a> with my MBA in May. May 7th to be exact. It\u2019s been a very long 5 year online only process through East Carolina.  What does this possibly have to do with Bon Jovi? Well, due to the proximity of their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bonjovi.com\/tour\"><b>North America tour<\/b><\/a> in cities Jen and I can attend or graduation&#8230; I basically have to pick between attending graduation and meeting all the friends and faculty that have helped and guided me throughout the years <u>or<\/u> attending my and Jen\u2019s 6th(?) Bon Jovi concert together since high school.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s about as tough a decision as a girl\u2019s got to make.  Do I fly to Miami and attend that show with Jen and Diana, or make them come up here to attend the Charlotte show since it&#8217;s the closest one to me? Jen already said she\u2019s got the same dilemma between Bon Jovi in Charlotte or attending my graduation. *sigh* annoying.<\/p>\n<p>Enter the glory of <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/\"><b>Twitter<\/b><\/a> and finding out this morning that one of the funniest tweeter\/ blogger\u2019s, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/momspective\"><b>@Momspective<\/b><\/a>, is giving away a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.momspective.com\/bon-jovi\/\"><b>pair of tickets<\/b><\/a> to the Charlotte show.  I am doing everything I possibly can do to win this pair of tickets. Seriously. I\u2019ve followed her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.momspective.com\/\"><b>blog<\/b><\/a>, friended her on <a href=\"http:\/\/apps.facebook.com\/blognetworks\/blog\/momspective\/\"><b>Facebook<\/b><\/a>, tweeted about it, and now am blogging about it myself.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I am desperate for these tickets. Because weighing Bon Jovi against graduation is seriously one of the hardest things I\u2019ve ever had to do.  It breaks my heart thinking I might have to miss them in concert. But&#8230; 5 long years and $75K later, I am finally graduating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>image source: tvtropes Whether you are aware of it or not, I am the biggest Bon Jovi fan.
