My entry:

"Blame It On the Love of Bon Jovi"

They say music changes lives. I'm living proof: a San Diego girl and HUGE fan of the band Bon Jovi, I joined their fan club in 2004 at age 15. Through it, I have attended 15 concerts, and traveled to eight states and seven countries in seven years. I have forged countless, treasured friendships with people all over the world, from San Diego to New York to Germany to Japan...and fell in love with a guy from the Netherlands, whom I dated long-distance for 4 ½ years. I recently graduated college and moved to the Netherlands to be with him. I am embarking on a month-long European backpacking trip in a few months, learning Dutch, and pursuing a travel writing career. My life story is yet to be written, but so far it's been quite an enjoyable ride – and I can't wait for the next adventure on the horizon.

Special "treat" from Soul Foundation

In case you didn't get the email...

The Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation has a special treat in store for you and there is only one way to find out what it is! Be sure to tune in to JBJSF.org on Wednesday, October 19th at 1:00PM EDT. You won't want to miss this!

As a non-profit organization, the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation is dedicated to bringing about positive change and helping the lives of those in need. The Foundation has taken their commitment to their community one step further with the establishment of their current project, the JBJ Soul Kitchen. As a community restaurant, the JBJ Soul Kitchen works to provide healthy and delicious meals to those in need.

Who wants to bet it's the Advil commercial and/or opening of the Soul Kitchen?? ;)
