Music and Moods

I know I've written about music before. But, since it's one of the most important things in my life, I see no reason not to write about it again. Current, I won't lie, I am not in the greatest of moods as I write this. It's a long story which I won't go into, and really, nothing serious is going on, so its not a big deal. Basically just one of those moods where sadness, boredom, and disappointment mix into one and make you not feel all that great. But when I'm in a mood like this, the one thing I can always do to feel better is listen to music. Somehow, when I'm not feeling great, my iPhone usually picks then to play the best shuffle mix it possibly can, and I am incredibly grateful for that, even though I know it is most likely just a lucky coincidence.

For the second part of this blog, I feel the need to go into a mini rant. Concert tickets. It's incredibly hard to get them, and why is that? Well, unless you are a member of the artists fan club(which costs a considerable amount of money in most cases), you usually have to wait longer for tickets to come on sale. This means that a large amount of the best seats are already sold. Then you have the fact that once tickets go on sale for the public, most of the remaining good tickets are put into VIP Packages(additional large sums of money), and then sometimes people who are lucky enough to have a certain credit card or some account somewhere get preferred seats. I don't know exactly how many tickets go to each place or even how many tickets there are total to be sold, but logically speaking, it seems very hard for normal people who want normal tickets in a good location somewhere near the stage to be able to actually get them. There just aren't that many of these tickets LEFT. Now, I don't really begrudge the artists selling these VIP Packs or having Fan Club presales or any of it, I understand it makes a lot of money, and if you are lucky enough to be in their fan clubs, its a wonderful feeling to be able to buy tickets before anyone, trust me. Basically, the only reason I am writing this is because I am frustrated...frustrated that because I am a normal person it is nearly impossible for me to get concert tickets. If you've read this far, I just want to thank you...I truly appreciate you reading through my rambling.

Until next time,
Live and Love,
