I would like to time-travel to a few nights ago. On Wednesday, August 13, I had the opportunity to see Bryan Adams live in concert for the second time. This time it was in Helsinki Ice Hall. My seat was quite close to the stage, so the view was upwards. There was a mike on that part of the stage where he sang a song or two. My first Mr. Adams concert was quite far, so this was even better. Photos below.
I got to see him from about a meter away when he came to the floor to greet the fans. He went to the back of the stadium and performed a song with an acoustic guitar to the fans at the back. I had a great time. Two hours or so just flew by. You know what they say, when you’re having fun, time just flies by.
Here are a few videos from the concert.

Bryan Adams has now been in Finland 15 times in total (that’s what he said during the concert). This time he had two concerts in Finland. He’s welcome back any time. His live concerts are pure entertainment 👍
Bills, bills, bills, that’s all I get. Money goes out, but nothing comes in. That’s what bothers me at the moment. I thought not having enough money would only be a momentary problem. I can’t live on my savings forever. I thought some passive income from digital products would be a good idea. But no one wants to buy. I have one that someone else created, and the newest is a motivational postcard that I made myself. They are in Finnish, so maybe that’s the reason why people won’t buy. Or perhaps they’re not good enough that people want to print them or use them in some other way. It reminds me of the graphic design teacher who said a poster I did was one she wouldn’t put up on her wall. That makes me doubt that I’m not good enough to be a graphic designer. That it’s all in my head.
Selling digital products isn’t easy because there are so many. But some people make it look so easy. It is easy if you use AI for photos and videos. But they look so fake. I follow faceless marketing accounts on Instagram, and it’s becoming a little annoying that they rely heavily on AI as if it’s the only way to sell their products. It bothers me that people keep selling digital products, where they sell courses on how to sell digital products. So now everybody can make them without graphic design skills? AI should be a tool and not something you use to sell products. It can help you with writing, but you should still use your head. I’ve used both Gemini and ChatGPT to check spelling and grammar in my fan fiction. I also use them to find ideas and gather information. And also for chatting, because no one else gives me insight on things. AI should help and not do everything for you.
It would be nice to have some money to go on a cruise (it’s too hot on land), but I have to save money for the hotel I’m staying at in August when I see Bryan Adams in concert. However, I receive no income, and that bothers me the most. Money goes out, but nothing comes in. The only valuable thing I have to sell is my flat, but I need more money now. Hopefully, this will only be a momentary problem and not a long-lasting battle.
The thunder in my heart. Or Kylie. Minogue Fun fact: When I was younger, I wished she were my sister. My sister died when I was 6, so perhaps that’s why. Then again, I also wished I had a brother who would protect me and be popular among girls. That has nothing to do with this, though.
I attended Kylie Minogue’s live concert on Monday, June 23. I have never been to her concert before, so I wanted to take the chance. She has been to Finland in concert three times before. It was held at the Espoo Metro Arena (where ice hockey is played), and it was extremely hot inside. I could have enjoyed the concert even more if it wasn’t for that (and the feeling in my left foot that I was getting a cramp), I had to buy water to survive. It was good, it was inside because it rained outside, so at least you stayed dry.
When the concert started, it was loud, and I didn’t know what song was on. Perhaps it was the seat I had. But you don’t care because it’s a concert where you see one of your favourite artists. I wanted to see Kylie in concert for a long time, and my dream came true. It was great to see such a diverse audience. It didn’t matter if you were straight or not; we were there to enjoy the show. And it was great. She’s such a nice person and took the audience in with open arms. When she sang the encore songs, many people stood up and danced even in the higher stands. All in all, it was a nice way to spend the day.
I have now attended three concerts: Toto, Duran Duran, and Kylie Minogue. Two more to go, Bryan Adams and The Rasmus (Finnish band), I hope I won’t have any problems with those. At the Duran Duran concert, I had an accident and I didn’t see the concert from the beginning, and in the Kylie one, I had a cramp fright.
I posted a video on Instagram, and I achieved a personal record in views on my personal account, @liuzzia5

I’ve had enough of thunder in my heart, and I don’t need more.
