** Hello Fascination **

Something that has always influenced me in many ways from a kid to now has been music. Music has a way to make you express yourself in many different ways; from playing it, writing it, to just listening to it by yourself and also jamming out with friends. Music allows the listeners to feel things they haven’t felt before. They tell stories about the artist’s lives which may be very similar to things you’ve gone through and make you want to listen to their music even more. No person is set to one genre of music or (band/artist). Many people are very harsh to their friends when they listen to something that they don’t like, which can be very hurtful to someone. Music isn’t meant to make you feel bad, music is meant to take you somewhere where you want to be at any time on any day. When someone that has never liked one style of music is able to accept that that type of music isn’t horrible then they will have learned what music really is. They will have learned that judging people and their music isn’t fair because it’s all different. Music is created to make you happy.



** A Dialogue **

(Friend) Dude this is going to be awesome. (Me) I know I can’t wait to hear all of my favorite bands. (Friend) This might be the best concert ever. (Me) I hope so, I’ve been waiting forever to come to this and see all of my favorite bands at one show. (Friend) Who are you most excited to see? (Me) Breathe Carolina for sure, but I’m still excited for the rest too, they are all amazing. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">(Friend) Yeah man, I don’t think I can pick a favorite. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">(Me) Well we can have a similar conversation after the show! <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">(Both) Let’s go!

<span style="display: block; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;">**<span style="display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; text-align: center;">10 Things to Remember (Advice) ** <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;">1. Never wear anything you wouldn’t want to get dirty or messed up, also nothing black or pants because it will be hot. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;">2. If you decide to bring money with you keep it somewhere out of reach and to where it won’t fall out. Because you will be close to a lot of people and they will be tempted to steal. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;">3. Next always be with someone you know for many reasons. You could get beat up, robbed, lost, or anything random and out of the ordinary. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;">4. Next if you are with a group of people be sure that someone brings a backpack with water bottles, because anything at a concert is super expensive especially drinks. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;">5. Never go to a concert without any sleep, you will not have as much fun as you could have. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;">6. Also don’t get in a mosh pit, if you don’t want to get hurt. Because people simply do not care and don’t do it for fun anymore they do it to hurt people. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;">7. If you do decide to get in a pit, have your friends join you in case you get hurt they can be there to pick you up or defend you if need be. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;">8. People also like to crowd surf, but be aware that not everyone is paying attention when you are crowd surfing so it can end disastrously. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;">9. If there is a band/artist you are there to see and no one will move for you to be close, move them. If everyone else doesn’t care about anything, why should you? You paid to see them play you should be as close as you want. It’s worth it, if you love the music. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: -0.25in;">10. Finally when the concert is over and you are near deaf, can barely talk, and are completely worn out it was a good concert.

<span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;">** Mental Journal Entry **

<span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">I’m so excited today is the day I get to see most of my favorite bands in one day. It’s also the first ALL day concert I’ve been to, I can’t wait! There are at least 9-10 different bands I want to see perform today. I’ve always been to concerts that were only a couple hours long but this one lasted from 11 am – 9pm… <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">I don’t think we are staying for it all but we will definitely stay until we’ve seen all the bands we came to see. I can’t wait to tell everyone about how awesome it was, now it’s time to stand in line and go inside.

By mosh I mean; push, shove, dance, etc... But lately people think that a mosh pit means a free chance to hit someone and not get into trouble. No, that is not the purpose of a mosh pit. The purpose is to merely satisfy the band/artist that the crowd is having a good time, not to intentionally hurt someone.



<span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;">** Short Story **

<span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">It was coming down to their last song, the song we all loved. The singer had just instructed the crowd to form a “wall of death” mosh pit. Basically everyone in the mosh pit split into 2 sides and got ready to mosh. When the singer started singing, the 2 sides ran at each other and began moshing. Well one of my friend’s decided he wanted to be a part of this, then took his shirt off and started bouncing up and down to get pumped. He looked back and said “you guys coming”? We all shook our heads in the no direction. We didn’t want to die in the pit. Since we weren’t right beside the stage our friend had to walk down there and as he was going down there he disappeared. We were all like… what happened to him? The last thing I saw was him throwing his fists up in an act to get pumped and then he disappeared. Worried for our friend but also for our own sake we decided to wait until the song was over so the area would clear out so we could find him. We went down the hill pushing through people, no sign of him. We’re thinking oh god, what the hell happened? Then out of nowhere he shows up right next to us. Sighs of relief, we quickly hugged him and asked him what happened. He said “I came down to start moshing and got hit straight in the face before I even got to the pit”. Dang dude, are you alright? “Yeah I’m good”. As he spits out blood from his mouth, he then so calmly asks who just played. I said Suicide Silence, don’t you remember? “Oh right, well who’s about to play now”? Breathe Carolina; it’s going to be awesome! He said “sweet, so who just played”? Worried that he might have memory loss from being knocked to the ground and possibly kicked in the head, I went along with his constant repeating questions. Although my other friends found it to be quite annoying; so for the first band we see, we have that great experience…

<span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;"> ** Throwing Down (Verb) ** <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;"> Flailing your arms franticly, and kicking in random directions, usually done at hardcore concerts. <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;">

I would get destroyed in any pit. Surprisingly there are a lot of girls that get in pits, and some just do not care and hit and get hit just like the guys, it’s kind of scary. Actually my main concern isn’t necessarily about my size; it’s about getting hit in the face. I’ve never really been hit in the face before, and I sure as hell don’t want to get hit by some huge guy intentionally trying to hurt me. I couldn’t handle it if I lost teeth, or my nose got broken, or I got a black eye. I think if it came down to any of that I would intentionally try to hurt that person back. So now that I’ve pondered those thoughts out loud it doesn’t sound like a good idea…

Well I’m not exactly a musician per say, but I used to play guitar and kind of gave up on myself. Which isn’t like me to give up when I’m really into something, but it got old and I wasn’t improving as much as I’d hoped to. But I love the guitar, I also love drums, keyboard/piano, and I love singing. I’ve never actually tried any of those other instruments, but I intend to try them at some point in my life and I also intend to pick the guitar back up. Not to play in a band or anything, just out of own personal joy of playing.

My older brother Kris was an actual musician though, and he’s always been my inspiration. He sang for a local band, and played acoustic guitar in his spare time. He’s was my inspiration to try guitar, because he was so good at playing music and singing. I wanted to be like him so bad, I’ve never really had any life changing moments because of music other than my brother. I mean most people listen to some kind of music throughout their life, so I wouldn’t consider just listening to music to be life changing, but to be inspired by someone to want to try something new like playing an instrument that is life changing. I really wish, I would have put the time and effort into playing the guitar, because I love music too much to not have tried as much as I should have. Maybe one day I will pick it back up and prove myself wrong and show everyone that I can do it. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">** Amazing **

These guys have been my favorite band for the past couple of years, even though they are a different genre of music from what most of the bands were that played there I loved them. The band is basically just 2 guys, but they have others join them for live stage performances to work the keyboard and other electronics. They unlike most bands don’t use drums, guitars, bass, etc… One sings and one screams to electronic types of beats. I love their music because it’s so different than everything else. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">I was a little worried that their onstage performance wouldn’t be as good since they are pretty much electronics, but they blew my mind when they played. Since they aren’t as popular as most bands there they only had stage time to play 5 or 6 songs. They were still unbelievable and amazing and I can’t wait to see them again. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">I wanted to stay and wait for them when they were done to meet them, take pictures, and have them sign my ticket but the line was ridiculous. If I would have stayed I would have easily been waiting in line for 2 hours. Even though they are my favorite band, I still wanted to see some more bands play, so meeting them had to wait for another time. <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: right;"> **__ Stats Afterwards __** <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: right;"> **Strength**: Weak <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: right;"> **Speech**: Whisper <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: right;"> **Hearing**: Deaf <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: right;"> **Hunger**: Insane <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: right;"> **Satisfaction**: Yes
