Well, this is been a musical season in my life. All of a sudden some of my favorite acts are coming to Dallas and I got tickets!

On July I was able to go to the American Idol tour with my friend Tyler. It was awesome, especially Adam Lambert. The man can perform.

On September 14 we will be going to see Jason Mraz in Concert with G-Love and Bushwalla. My second time seeing him live, I was very impressed, he has a great voice, it was very, very nice.

On October 7, Tyler, Ben and me will be going to see Kings of Leon live. That main singer has such an awesome voice. Gotta admit I ‘secretly’ have a crush on him, well maybe it’s just with his voice. Just listen to him…

Now, for November 12 we just got tickets to see Regina Spektor. I’ve been a fan of hers for a couple of years now, her voice is so awesome. I blogged about her once… Read it here and listen to a great song.

I also saw that in November, The Swell Season will be coming to Dallas. You may not know them but they are the couple from the movie Once. Such a great movie.

That’s it, at least for now… Hopefully there will be more.

I find it interesting how when life is great and problems are far, we do not think of God but when disaster nears us he is the first one we cry out for. It’s sad that we usually look for him when we are in need but on a day to day basis we forget that our existence is made possible because of him. We are quick to make jokes and funny comments or play around with the idea of his existence and if it is a fact or fiction. But when we are in the middle of a trial, when a loved one is dying, when all hope is lost we look at him.

Not trying to be negative here, at least we look at him in those moments, but what if? What if we set our eyes upon him, what if we revered him as our Creator, what if we lived with the notion that he is at our side? Maybe instead of living our lives laughing at him, we could live laughing with him and experience all that he has for us…

This point is made clear by this song, “Laughing With” by Regina Spektor…
