Well, what a night! I’m on the first day of my five day holiday and I’ve just come back from the Bon Jovi concert at the Air Canada Centre. While I’m not the world’s greatest Bon Jovi fan, I am most definately a fan of the lovely JBJ himself. He’s a hottie, that’s for sure. 15,000 screaming women and one steamin hot guy. That’s a whole lotta drewl to clean up off the floor, you know. We had great seats (as we should for the price), plus he kept popping up on different podiums all over the stadium, much to the crowd’s delight. I guess that’s so all the ladies could get an eyeful of those tight little buns, and a flash of those oh-so-perfect pearly whites of his. I tell you, if you could bottle that smile… Anyway, enough of the dribbling.

The concert was pretty good, although not totally rockin’ (nor in the same league as U2). They played quite a bit of new stuff (a bit melodic for my liking), interspersed with some old classics, which got everyone on their feet. JBJ looked exhausted, which - considering his recent loss of life - is actually not a bad state to be in. If you didn’t hear, the media reported him dead a few days ago after his plane skidded off the end of the runway in Hamilton, ON.

So, the best tune of the night had to be ‘Living on a Prayer’. The crowd rocked, and it put the best smile on his face. Did I mention he’s super hot when he smiles? Mmmm…. *slurp*

“The Canadians are going to serve the President Canadian beef for dinner. Is he eating it?”

Read the text of a press briefing with White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan yesterday.

Now that just tickled me pink! For those who don’t keep up with the Bush administration’s antics in Canada, the US border has been closed to Canadian cattle since May, 2003, after one cow (yes, 1, uno, ein, lone) “Canadian” cow, tested positive for Mad Cow’s disease.

Just the one, hey? Isn’t it odd that there was just one lonely little cow in the whole country - funnier still that it was found by our friendly neighbours just over the border there. A simple and effective way of punishing Canada for not backing them up in their war efforts, perhaps. Nah, silly me, Bush is just a ****ing ****!

BTW, the U.S. beef ban is said to have cost Canadian farmers over $4-billion (£8.5b). That’s what you get for sticking to your morals - it maybe painful but boy, was it ever the right thing to do. At least one Prime Minister had the balls to stand up to Bush.
