Not really sure where I am going with this chapter, it is somewhat a hard one to explain and what I want to convey to my audience. Which is anyone who will listen. It's out of order, I know. I will start out with what song the #MGs aka Musical Gods want me to do. And #Damn they obviously picked another great one. This song right now is once again making me happy, on what its meaning is, and how it is pertaining to my life at this moment.
This whole song is just amazing right now, 10:18PM. My legs are going a million miles an hour, on just shaking to this awesome beat of this song. I love Paramore, however, one of the very few bands that I want to see and I HAVE NOT, Fuck! Its not like I had opportunities, but my luck with seeing them was either #Working #SoldOut #Cancelled.
::: Monday, May 6, 2013 at 7:00pm MDT
Devin Kay Shashi Christensen went to Paramore @ CANCELLED - Salt Lake City, UT :::
On the latter one this is just a theory. The concert was supposed to be at #SaltairVenueUtah and presented by #AEG. Well, being Utah, everyone buys their tickets waaaayyyy too late. The #Venue #Producers #Artists, anyone involved has no fucking idea on what the #CrowdAttendance will be and they can't or won't produce a show that is not going to “sell.”
#Hayley said she was sick but then preformed at the #Fillmore #Colorado the next day, and the pictures made me #Envious #Pissed #SadOverall. She was indeed truly sick, and I wish her all the best. I even made a little #SocialMediaPhoto hoping to meet #Paramore that night.
Anyways, Man I love Hayley so much, she is such an amazing example of just doing what you believe in with whatever trials come your way. I remember listening to their song “Emergency” on a #FueledByRamenSampler and falling in love, her #Voice, that #Sound … #StillSpeechless. My favorite girl singer hands down, I am very picky in that manner. Hayley set that #SkyHighBar on what I wanted and what I needed as a listener for a female voice.
(10:26PM … #YTC #YoutubeCount155,107 views) Watching the music video on youtube, screamo version of course. It just shows so much more emotion, I can't tell you how much screaming means to me in a song, like what are they feeling? What are they thinking? Why did they pick that particular verse or lyric to scream? It has so many questions and feelings, maybe you will understand as I get more into this #LifeOfMusic that will #Ultimately #ChangeTheWorld.
I could go on and on about how much I love Paramore and why [she], Hayley speaks to me in unspeakable way with #Love #Lyrics #Sound. I can't remember who produced their introduction to the world, but I remember this interview they had. I watched it through a link on #AlternativePress, but back then girl singers WERE NOT IN, and maybe it was #JoshFarro who said verbatim, “This band we want to make guys like, and fall in love with, even though we have a girl singer. Its a different sound and you will love it.” They were interviewed like in a park or something I'm not sure.
I knew after their #Emergency sample song on I believe was like Fueled By Ramen sampler of like 04' 05, #Fuck it was #Pressure, just #DoubleChecked that #Shit. Anyways ... I love all of their music and I could go on about how much I love their music and what it means to me.
Speaking of that sampler, I remember receiving it at a warped tour if I do recall. Maybe it was in Alternative Press. Hmm... anyways, I remember one of my friends Marc, and he was like dude, I love this band, her voice is awesome. As we were probably smoking #SwisslerSweets in a vacant parking lot lol. #YeahDontBeJealousWeWereFuckingCool. Man music is flooding my brain #RightNow. I have what you call #Hyperthymesia with #Music #LifeEvents, somewhat like those people that can recall information on the spot like a hard drive. Check out a 60 minutes interview. The link on wikipedia is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthymesia'
Belows status was done before I even heard about this #PhenomenalGift very few people have.

Devin Kay Shashi Christensen updated his status.
::: I wish my mind was like an external HD & I could extract every cover songs output exactly what was in my head.. And other songs as well... What a better world this would be.. It would be like our own personal life soundtrack... I <3 MUSIC! ::::
Well back to the song, you know Paramore, I go on tangents, it happens. I think way too much, it's a love slash hate relationship.
My life has always been uncharted. It has been something that has taken me on the craziest roller coaster ride, of highs and very, very, lows. Some #Highs #ExtremeLows that I have only told a couple people, sometimes it is hard to explain in words because, some experiences #CannotBeSummedUpInWords. Its all #Emotion #Heartache #Pain #LowestOfLows #HighestOfHighs #ThatsTheBestToAlwaysDo #RemainPositiveOptimistic
My life has not been easy by any means, yet I still pressed forward despite the hardships. This is where the vision and the love of music came from. Its my major “outlet” and still is. Yes, I am a #FunLovingPerson #LoveEntertainmentAnything, however, #LiquideAir obviously destroyed that #MetaphoricalIceberg by creating a new #Entity. It is who I AM. Its everyday life, its love of one another, regardless of status.

#SelfTitled #FastInMyCar
What a perfect song for a perfect beginning to a chapter that is well the #NewestVersion, it's going to change my fucking life as I actually have to sit down and do #TopTenArtistsThatIWouldWantToBeStuckOnAnIslandWith (yes! #MusicGods, cover of stuck on you just came on 9:57PM!).
I am going a little bit out of order. Why? Somewhat, of a #respect in regards to the Monumentour, Member Pre-Sale, just went on! #FinallyIAmGoingToSeeFuckingPARAMORE!
I woke up sick at 9:30MST, logged in, and waited refreshing the screen every 10 seconds as usual, Maybe, just maybe, somehow they would release it early for the hell of it, and I would get the best spot in the whole world at my #FavoriteVenueThusFarProbablyForeverANDSeeMyFavoriteBandParamore.
Well, I was sitting there because I was going to see if I could buy one more, (as the countdown was becoming lower to check out. #TwoMinutesAndThirtySeconds #DebatingIfIWantToDoThis #TwoMinutesNow, (okay, I guess I will do this, wait #wtf?!, other credit cards? looking #M&GParamorePackage. Well, I was short by $4 and I could not make another payment, oh man, I was sorta pissed. Eh? Oh well! IM SEEING PARAMORE FINALLY and the huge plus PLUS, #MeetingBeautifulHayleyTaylorAndJeremy! #Handsdown, Its a dream, its a #Surreality that is, and will unfold on this glorious day #TuesAugTwelfthTwentyFourteen #FuckYeah
Song change #EmergencyAlternateVersionAkaScreamo #BSides. Oh man, I #LOVE this fucking song. I #LoveScreamingItShowsEmotion. It does. Its amazing to me. I would love to scream this with Hayley on stage! That actually would be the definition of #SurrealDieHappyNow for me. Well any song to sing with them.
Back to these tickets, they were a little crazy because only #OneHundred were available per show! Damn, so yes, all things coming together. I was trying to make another payment at 10:05 in my bank account so I could purchase one more for whoever I wanted to bring. Like I said, I was four fucking dollars short, not because I did not have it, but because I could not pay above the “statement” at the current time.
I'm going to wait for #oneminuteandtwentyseconds. I then hit submit and its says #cannotebepurchasedathistime?!!! I was think omg are you fucking serious?! I tried once after I enter the #paramorenetpassword, and at this time I had a #sectionalseatrowtwentytwoseatfour. I was not pleased but, I did not care because I was going to meet them. I mean I have their #autographs #FromAlternativePressMagazine #ButNoWayTheSameAsInPerson.
Well, I was freaking out, I did some #higherbeingpleading , and then the second try I pressed #apply for the code and then #submit and boom! I got a fucking #generaladmission! Oh man I was so excited! I wanted the #pit the #upcloseandintimate #askmeonstageandillsingmylungsoutforyouparamore lol.
When I introduced #paramore to my best friend #marcchapell. I gave him a #fueledbyramenwinterohfiveohsixitunessampler. #Marc was pretty picky on the bands he liked. So when I showed him this particular band it was a success.

#OhMy... #SPEECHLESS.#TwentyOhFiveWarpedTourWasFuckingInsaneISayDoItExactlyTheSame!
SERIOUSLY! WHAT A LINE UP! I Remember #runningaroundeverywherefasterthanever. Which meant, Listen to tops four songs and then #sprintyourassofftothenextstage. I almost died that day! It as #sooohot. I never understod why they couldnt do this tour in the #springorfallishtime. This way people wouldnt die of heat exhaustion, over statement, yes, but still its #sooofuckinghot.
I remember a lot of the disappointments I had was the #acceptance #gymclassheros #theacademyis... #cartel #achangeofpace #mae #mewithoutyou #funeralforafriend #wakingashland #scarykidsscaringkids #circasurvive #cuteiswhatweaimfor #hellogoodbye #hotrodcircuit #motioncitysoundtrack #rufio #reggieandthefulleffect #saosin #amberpacific #hailfax were not preforming in my city, yes, that was a lot. Yep, they were touring my envy coast #eastcoast #sooomanyamazingbands! Oh man, I was sooo sad #ihadneverseennorbeentoaconcertoneastcoast
Needless to say, I did get to see a lot of bands I wanted to such as. #allamericanrejects #atreyu #armorforsleep #avengesevenfold #thedropkickmurphys #emery #falloutboy #gatsbysamericanream #hawthorneheights #hopesfall #matchbookromance #mxpx #mychemicalromance #nouseforanme #theoffspring #sensesfail #thestartingline #strungout #thrice #transplants #thebled #silverstein #underoath.
It was something that #yougetusedtoit #warpedtour. Anyways, this tour. Go look it up on #wikipedia. Once you do, yah you will wanna punched yourself after you see this line up. #stillspeechless. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warped_Tour_2005
Omg! That tour.... ahhh. Those were the days, yep that if you look closely that ticket was #comped #zippydoodahmothafucka. I started learning how to make things free that year. How? Well I promoted #matchbookromance #akaonstreetteam. #Streetteamequalsyougetmerchforfreeandyoupromotetheartists
Well, #Paramore is such an amazing band. I love them. #Sound #Lyrics #Leaders #JustAnAwesomeBandAllAround #AndEtcetera
One of the things that made me love
#HayleyEvenMore
was her blog on #JulyThirteenthTwentyThirteen
via #tumblr.
When I Was 17, I started writing lyrics to a song that would later be called, “Let The Flames Begin”. It was on our sophmore album, #RIOT! I never felt like it really sounded as meaninggul on record as it seemed when we played it live. Over the yars, we added one and added on to it. No only is it one of our favorites to play at shows but one of the most highly requested live songs by... ahem... you guys. Maybe it's just because the song is heavier than most of our other songs or maybe it's cause it feels really emotional to sing some of those words. Either way, it means a lot to us.
The lyrics touched on the way I saw us (people who were around my same age at the time) and how we fit in to society... and sort of lightly dusted the topic of the human condition. How broken we must seem from the outside, to whoever happens to be looking in. I have always had that deep sort of hurting feeling that happens when you hear a tragic story of someone young who is diagnosed with a terminal sickness, or when you see someone homeless and begging on the side of the road who you could give a couple dollars to but could never really help... but I get it all the time... just about the world at large. Because I feel, truly and deeply, that we are all searching for some kind of cure or some king of quick fix, all the time. Always filling a void. I do this every day even when I'm not aware. The condition of being alive and breathing. “How can I Please Me?” Its not with a pessimistic eyes that I see all these things, I just believe it's realistic. For some people, there is faith that more is at work that just the brokenness of all of us. For others, its enough just to know that we try to be the best human we can be and make whatever difference we can. Whatever your pleasure, belief, sorrow or triumph... we are all human and we are all constantly faing some sort of brokenness. Of the heart, of finances, of family, of dreams... it is real pain and it can't be ignored.
Sometimes the only thing that gets me through a hard time is knowing that we are all (somewhat) in the fight together. Even as we might feel like we're fighting alone, there billions of other humans doing exactly the same thing. In whatever their respective fights may be. I don;t know how it helps but really, it does. To know that no one has figured it out. It's a bit of a drag but it's just good comfort.
Seeing as even a good 6 years later I still feel all these thing about life and being human, it probably should've been obvious that we'd write another song with a similar message for the new album. This time around I feel like it comes across a bit more hopeless... but actually thats what excites me the most about it. To me, its getting to the bottom of what you thought was a bottomless pit... and that's where you surrender yourself to whatever is next.
>>(#ColdWorld JustCameOn :) while tying out #HayleysBlog #YeahI'llGetRightBackUpAsLongAsItSpinsAround #YouWannaMakeADifferenceGOOUTANDBEGINIT. #LiquideAir <<
That's what billions of other people are doing right now. Hitting the bottom only to life their gaze up and figure out how to get off the ground again. Yeah, know that definitely helps.
It's strange that a song about all this could go on what is about to be the most positive and most intoxicating fun Paramore album we have ever written... but somehow it works. And anyways, anyone who knows me knows I can only write so many happy lyrics til I have to start venting about something else again.
This is long and it's late and hope it makes sense to anyone if not all of you who actually read it.

Well Hayley, I did read it which, #Inspired many rough drafts of #Pitches, to your band if I ever talked to you. Hopefully you also take this opportunity as well.
So Hayley, Taylor, and Jeremy... Your new self titled album is amazing and I really mean that! It's so Versatile, and it's All of you. I can feel all of your pain, emotions, and of course your fun creative sides. Hayley, to me, this overall album is “you” if that makes any sense... you've each found a new artistic side and it blew me the hell away... A billion out a 10 stars. Is my rating.
I personally loved the Ukulele interludes.. reminded me of my sister from the islands of Polynesia, Im from India and 4 others are all adopted 2 each from USA and Seoul Korea. So my parents were doing the Angelina and Brad way before that was a thing lol.
But, Hayley I respected you more as an Artist on a personal level July 3rd 2012, with your Blog Entry. It hit me hard and inspired me bc yes.. "We are all human and we are all constantly facing some sort of brokenness. Of the heart, of finances, of family, of dreams ... it is real pain and it can't be ignored."
As well as "We are all in this fight together"... Well my Fight has been Chemotherapy for 5years from 16-20 years bc of my SLE Lupus that then lead to now, IV hip replacements #LastMayFourthOne. Then Kidney Dialysis for these last 2 years and then last November, I received a blessing of Kidney Transplant from a very humble neighbor.
Anyways, I love Music more than anything! So much that I have created a legit business Concept called
"Liquide Air" it is a Venue/Restaurant/Record Store/ Salon MakeUp Store. It's majority is Public, but also Private for Artists, basically a Musicians Resort, that will generate over 10M Profit, per year! I have over 12 million calculated to the penny.. and yes I did say... profit.
So whats in it for you.. well I added a few Sky Penthouse Suites... One reserved for your band Paramore, And you would be hooked up for life In this huge musicians resort which will be one of a kind.
If I could just have ten minutes of your time to talk, not about an investment but networking, your own ideas, a two-way-interview. I would want Sir Richard Branson to Invest. Once, again this is a REAL business plan, and it will change the World through Music and Charity. Think Oprah-Philanthropy but on a much larger scale, and it would be an honor to have your amazing and respectable band apart of it.
Thanks for your time and your amazing talents.

So, we will see how that turns out. If they meet with me on this, if not, its still open to them, maybe just not as #Exclusive as it would have been. Probably shared between #FBRLabel #MusiciansIAmCrushingOn.
#LookingUp Just came on. #LiquideAir #LiquideSessiøns is this songs #Chorus.
I'd never trade it in
'Cause I've always wanted this and
It's not a dream anymore, no-oh-whoa-oh

#ItsWorthFightingFor
::: #ICantBelieveIAlmostCalledItOffImJustGettingFuckingStarted #MyVersion :::
The day I heard this song was well #Enlightening and #Inspirational. I was in my room. Looking at #Lyrics #HighRangeListeningVolume #FallingInLoveWithHayleyAndParamore #AllOverAgain.
As a #VeryObsessiveLyricist, I connect everything personal I can within songs. Obviously, it makes it mean something more to you. Wether that be a #Person #Situation #Personal #BandRelated, anything really. It doesn't fucking matter. Its #Music and its #Powerful. I have been working on #LiquideAir since I had to start and make a #RestaurantLayout in #CulinarySchool #TookItToTheSurrealLevel #2008.
This #Concept had been on my mind since then. Its something people like to call now, a #GameChanger but see that term is #Insulting for this #Business and its #Vision. Its going to be more than that. Its going to #EvolveThisEntertainmentIndustry #WorthFightingFor! Ahhh! I just get so #FuckingPumped when I hear this song. Even though this is somewhat of #SSS #SemiSadSong because it talking about how they almost called it quits. I would have been more than #Sad about this particular band quitting. #ICantBelieveWeAlmostHungItUp #We'reJustGettingStarted
When I #Think #Envision #Daydream, its almost #TooReal. I have very high hopes for something to happen. When I meet them I am going to give them a copy of this rough draft chapter. I #HopeNPray that something will #Spawn from this. I hope they understand my #Passion and that besides loving them as a #Listener, I almost take it upon myself to have the #Feelz for them. As I do with most anyone that #InspiresMe. It might sound #Cheesy but when something of #Tragedy #Despair anything really happens to them #ISayASmallPrayer. I #Empathize with people #AsTearsAreRealLifeComingDown.
For instance when they were in #Europe and they #Called aka #CanceledTheirWHOLETour, I first thought #NooFuckINEEDToSeeThem. I then said a small prayer that they would work out their differences, and any pain or sadness they have felt they would overcome. #WhatAWasteItWouldHaveBeen. Just think you would not have made your #SelfTitledAlbum, it would not have affected #MillionsOfPeople #TwoPlatinumSingles #AlternativePressFiveStarsAndNumberOneMidYearTwentyThirteenAlbum #BillboardsTwoTopFortySinglesOneAlbum #ListGoesOnAndOn
Guess what?! #FastInMyCar just came on! One, of my newest #AcquiredMemoryBurns of Paramore happened with this #Song #HellThisPhenomenalAlbum. I had just traded in my #GreenMachine in for an #AudiTT #MK1 #Convertible.
When the album came out and I heard #FastInMyCar #IWasFuckingLostInIt! I took that song to #Heart and took #Q #WhatICallMyCar, out to #I-15Interstate and #CrankedThatShitToEleven #IllGetInMyCarDriveItFasterThanIEverDidBefore #ProofDiffSongItFitsThough #OneHundredAndFifty in my new car. #FiveMPH . #BulletBikeOneHundredForty #PreviousRecordHeld. #DontWorryMomItWasAStraightAwayForMiles #LateAtNight #TopDownOfCourse.
It was one of the most #ExhilaratingExperiences of my Life. I was #Lit #TheBeat #Lyrics, I knew within the first #TenSeconds of this album, it was going to be #FuckingAwesome #ThatIntroFUCK! #GooniesFeelWasGenius #ItWasNew #ItWasAMoreAwesomeParamore #WhichIDidntThinkWasPossible.
I remember watching the debut of the music video on #TRL #TotalRequestLive on #MTv.
It was #OctoberSixtenthTwoThousandSeven.
Her whole style in that #MusicVideo reminds me of that #MacMakeup Catalog shot. #Hair #LiquidEyeLiner #Lipstick.
One of my other #MemoryBurns #CrushCrushCrush #RockNRollBaby
#GimmeSomethingToSingAbout #RockbandTwo
I was so excited on this day was because, remember when #Rockband #GuitarHero were #SoldOutPopular. I still love to play them. #CrushCrushCrush along with tons of other great artists were on the #GamesSetlist. One of my girl friends were with me, #WeWerentOfficialThen. We went to #BestBuyAmericanForkUtah and bought the game.
Although, #CrushCrushCrush wasn't playable upfront, meaning your band had to #Progress enough in the game to obtain the song. So what did we do? We RockedTheFuckOutOfThatGame #GuitarHer #GuitarSingerMe. It did take some time to do this though. We had to get it down at least on #HardMode.
Doing this, we played #BuddyHolly #Weezer over and over again, and we had some other intentions to make this awesome. I had rigged up a #WireHanger onto the vent above me and hung the microphone down in front of my face like a #BadAssRockstar lol. I did not have a microphone stand, so I #Improvised.
We then invited my parents and my aunt and uncle down to the basement to watch us preform. It was pretty crazy fun. We made it worth their while. #NBD #StandingOvation. It seriously was too much #FuckingFun from then on!

#SideTangent:::
One really random #MemoryBurn, I have of #BuddyHolly was my sister #Analee was driving me to yes, my #GymnasticsClass #IWasAwesomeAtTheRings #NotSoMuchTheHorse #SorryMauryImNotAGymnast. My sister and I had just crossed that infamous road that I mentioned in #BlindsidesChapter.
Turned onto #Jefferson right by the #BPGasStation and right as we were turning. The chorus came on, #BeenPracticing. I sang “Looks Like Buddy Holly.” my sister turned down the song a little bit and as we were turning said. “ I Look Just Like Buddy Holly are the words Devin. #JUST Like. #SuperRandomIKnow. #IJustMadeLoveWithYourSweetMemoryOneThousandTimesInMyHead
Also at the gas station, I remember making a couple phone calls from what was called a #Payphone. It cost #TwentyfiveCents then #ThirtyFive then to #FiftyCents, by that time most people had #MobilePhones #Nokias. See #Millennials you actually called #Friends to see if they were #Home or #CheckedIn by spending money and then told your parents what was up. You had to be knowledgeable in locations of these. Probably why I like when people tell me #LandmarksInDirections. Oh its in the #BPGasStationParkingLot.

Today #AugustFifthTwentyFourteen I heard some crazy news from #Hayley. I am sorta #FreakingOut because she is #Sick! Her doctor said she should be fine for the rest of the tour. Well I #FuckingHopeSo! I #CANNOTMISSTHEMAGAIN! I would be even more sad than the last time. Either way, I will do what I have planned for this one and the #MeetAndGreet! We will see how it works out?! #YouNeverKnow #IBelieveInMiracles.
It is getting closer and closer to the concert and I thought, huh. Why don't I make a #NewerPitchToParamore and give it to them at the #MeetAndGreet! I would have to make it #BadAss and creative. I had all of these ideas going through my head which made it harder to narrow it down to just one in less than a weeks time. It made the #WhiteBoard of course.
I wanted a #PaperWoodenBox #HoldsEightByElevenPaper #UltimatePresentation. I looked everywhere I could in my little resort town, nothing. Not even variations of #Scrapebook #Jewelry. I think this one, being a #FancyPaper one which is very #Flimsy made me think of a creative way to present it. I think it turned out pretty #BadAss. It took a long time to do, a lot longer when your a #SagittariusPerfectionist #FourHours, I would come up with a shape and try and cut into #GoldNBlackDuckTape #YesDUCKBrand #IKnowItMeansDuct #HarderThanYouThinkShit #CleanAsHellCuts #KerShunKnife #AltonBrownAngle.
Obviously after the concert, I will have stories I can guarantee you that shit! Hopefully it will be one of the best ones in my entire lift. Who the fuck knows. It will be an experience only a couple thousand will have this tour. I am blessed to see them the #FirstTime #FavoriteVenueSoFar #RedRocksAmphitheaterColorado with #Fucking #FallOutBoy and #NewPolitics, to make this #MusicGasm would be with #TwentyOnePilots … I have no words. #SeriouslySpeechless. I am addicted to them right now, they are in my #EMBChapter #EntertainmentMemoryBurns #iHaveCrayCrayToursFestivalsInMyHead #LeedsReadingFestivalUK so far my #UltimateFestivals one I want to see right now. I can not even #Imagine, #InsaneLastFewYears! #StupidMoMoneyProblems.

Well, Fuck! I Fucked Up my pitch, not in the talking part. But the very first line and I said #Josh instead of #Jeremy! Damn wireless printer printed an older pitch, but why, why, why. Ugh. #Jeremy is waaaayyyyy more bad ass than #Josh. I am truly sorry, and apologize from the bottom of my heart. It woke me up in the middle of the night and I #CriedAndDiedInside for awhile when I realized the mistake. I swear I proof read that over and over again, and It was all the emotions of meeting you and #YadaYada #MyNerves and #Brain failed me hard on that. I am a Huge fan I swear! Ahhhh! Well its done and over. I tried to tweet to letcha know.
It was #AugustTwelfthTwentyFourteen. I had previously gone to bed early, why? Well I wanted to make sure I would wake up in time for the show, being that I was #TwoHoursAway. I had previously what I thought I had everything right for a #SuperRoughDraft, especially the fucking band members names! Man I will be killing myself over and over again til I can see them again and apologize to #JEREMY! To make it worse it I called him #Josh out of #Hayley #Taylor. Y
ah, #FuckedUp! #WorstNameEVER #ScrewedItUpBad! But I did have multiple pitches in there and I had his name right in one! So there! So I printed #New not #Final.
I am currently on a #FBR #FueledByRamen kick again, well shit I just saw two of the biggest names on that label, plus I haven't stopped really playing #TwentyOnePilots #VesselsAlbum but even more since I went back to visit #FamilyNFriendInUtah. They're the first band I introduce if someone wants a new listen in my #SuggestionPool.
I got everything ready to go. #Ticket #Pitchography #iPod #Phone #Water #RedBullsOneEachWay #GPS #Weed #Gatorade #DriedMangoes. I was ready to fucking go see #Paramore! My mind is racing on what to say and it never goes the way you plan it, so the lesson learned in that don't plan for shit at a #MeetAndGreet #LetItFlow but, that is what happened. I didn't wanna #Pitch the idea of #LiquideAir a lot even though I want to tell the world. Its just not ready yet, even after #ManyYearsDaysHoursMinutesSeconds. I seriously think about this business too much. Everything is moving so fast. It is a #LoveHateRelationshipMoreLoveBciLoveInnovativeTechnology
#ParaFOBPolitics was the #ChoicePlaylist. It did have some #TwentyOnePilots in it as well. I listen to the bands ahead of time so that I know that beat like the back of my hand, #EvenThoughIKnowItIStillDoIt #iImagineItMoreIFeel. After the show, yes, I don't listen to the bands I have just heard. #Except, there were a couple occasions that my friends and I did, #One because we wanted to hear a certain song they didn't play and #ScreamWhatVoiceWeHadLeft. Two, I needed clarification on a #Lyric #RememberItWasntAsAvailableAsItIsNow #ImNotADinosaurYoureSpoiled #ImJealousButNot
I went a got a #CarWash #TookLongerThanExpected.
All that #JeepsLicensePlate said was expiration August something, with saying #Sorry or something. It was weird I was in the next stall waiting. I get my car washed. #TopDownReadyToGo. #SoImDrivingAlongImDrivingAlong #TommyBoyStyle. I am checking my time to make sure I am there #NoLaterThanFourFifteen.
Well I go past one of the #ScenicRoutes in the right hand lane and I hit a crevices with a small pot hole and my car is going #Eighty and I almost lost control of it because the tires were one with that groove. I slowly move the wheel to the left make sure not to over correct. I thanked my #HeavenlyFather I didn't just die. #ImDrivingAlongImDrivingAlong and I am like man I smell rubber, I think to myself oh its probably one of the billions of diesels driving around me. Then I hear #Pfftttatatat #FuckAreYouSerious #InitiateHazards #iLookAtTheClockItsThreeFifteen #iStillHaveToDriveThirtyMiles #iGetOutOfMyCar #ImFreakingOut #IamGoingToMissIt, I keep repeating. Well Shit Devin just change it as fast as you can.
Needless to say I changed my tire in #SeventeenMinutes #SmallPicForReference #ItDidntFitInMyTrunkWithTheRushIWasIn #LuckilyIWasAlone #01AudiTTQuattro

#ImHereToFuckUpPARAMOREDAY
Going to RedRocks is cursed I feel like. The concert with the #BeastieBoys at #RedRock, our car got a flat tire as well and I just had a hip replacement #HandicapSignBaby! #BackPassengerSide #CreepyShit. Hopefully it doesn't happen next week at #JackWhite! Yeah this concert was a lot as I had to drop about #FiveHundred to get all new tires. #QuattroWillGetYah #SoWorthItThough.

#TakeOffGoingFiftyFiveWhooHoo. Blast the stereo to calm my nerves. My GPS then says I missed the exit?! No, I am thinking, there is no way I didn't see a fucking sign. Maybe I spaced it because I was freaking out! I get off at the next exit and then it tells me to go this crazy way and I am just like, ugh hopefully their late or something happened because it was #ThreeFiftyFive by then. I can't really go over #Fifty with that #DoughnutTire. I get BACK on #iSeventy. The GPS recalculates and I should have stayed on.
I then speed around the corners to the entrance. I see people. I see people. I am thinking. #PraiseJesus! People stare as they should #QisASexyBeastSoAmI. The nice parking attendant sees me. Says hey #Parallel Park by that Camaro. #TwentyTwelveOrangeBlackStripedCamaroSS #UpFrontParking. I come down the hill and the cool parking guy and I chat it up a little bit. He told me I arrived at a great time, he was parking cars all over the place because they ran #ThirtyMinutesLate! #PrayerAnsweredCheck! Lol.
I then obtain my ticket. The attendant tells me where the handicapped parking is. I then try to make my hands clean because of the rubber. #iSanitize #TakeAFewHits #GetHydrated #FewHits #Drops #Cologne get out of my car and head up to the line. I am then told to get into a different line to pick up my #Laminate #Poster #Buttons #Bag. I then hand the lady my license and is oh are you going to the show tomorrow in #Utah as well? No, Im going to see #JackWhite here next week. She was like oh hell yah that will be fun! #YesYes #That70sShowStyleEric.
I take a few pictures as I am reminded of how #BadAss this place is. Its Soo #Beautiful.
So #B-E-A-UTIFUL that I met some awesome people from #LosAngeles. They had flown in a few days before to #Explore and go to this show. They each had very interesting jobs. #RN #FashionDesigner #PharmaceuticalRepresentative #BoutiqueSingerSongWriterMusicianAllAroundFun. I also met another girl that was damn good at drawing. She had made #TwoGreatPieces for #Paramore. #SheGotTheirNamesRightDamnHer lol.
#WelliPutSuperRoughDraftOnIt #SomeLeewayYes?
I am almost there! I am semi shaking inside like a mother fucker. We go through the tunnel, and I start to hear these kids #Crying! You'd think for a second it was sorta funny, but then it was not because, thats how you knew, how much #Paramore has effected them. We are going down a small ramp, #BuiltForAmpsLedOutToTheStage. #iAmTakingItAllIn. The #HeadSecurity or #LP for the theater was like so, what are you getting autographed? I showed him my iPod. He was like ugh, it will smear though. I was like I know, thats why I have this clear case! Well you are prepared aren't you? Yeah I am.
The girl in front of me starts to shake pretty bad. Then about #MidArmHug she lost it for a second. #ThatsHowMusicIs. She showed them her awesome drawings and then I was next. I had been replaying what I was going to sorta pitch in my head for weeks now. How I am going to #PitchThis #NowOwOwOwOwOw that #iAmHere #ItsReal #ItHappening. I decided that I was not really going to #Pitch it. All the emotion I had was born long before #LiquideAir. They helped shape it, if anything.
Jeremy was first. I handed it to him because all of the #HardcoreFanz brought were off to the left of him. I explained that it was a chapter wrote about them and how they've inspired me a lot, and I have a business collaboration in there, called #LiquideAir. I then complimented each of them on their #Talents #Inspiration. I then had #NotOneButTwoPics bc, #Hayley had her eyes closed in the first one. #TooSurreal #iAmDyingInside #YouCouldFeelTheLove #TheirEnergyAsPeople. That for me, is how you know people, not everyone has that, and the people that do are those ones that do, #MyselfIncluded #MemoryBurn
PICTURES ABOVE: ^^^
Like, I said, I made them a present with a #PitchØgraphy. These are some of the stages that I did it in.
#LotsOfCutting #LongLongTime #YesImInMyUnderwear #PerksOfLivingAloneAllDayLong
#ThisIsAGoldenTicket #ifParamoreKeepsIt and then turns it into me. They will get a awesome #SurpriseAndOrGift.

I come out and that girl with drawings comes back see me and comes walking towards me, as I am blowing on my iPod so the #SharpieSemiDries #OkayCasePlacementHasToBePerfect.
#AfterTheShowWithCaseOffAndVIPBadgeBitch
She tells me about how awesome her experience was. I told her, that it did not matter that she cried. It showed a lot of character. We then see that they are letting people in! #ShesGone #iPickedUpMyPace. I thought I got an #AwesomeSpot for not full on #Sprinting!
I am wasting time taking selfies, because #iAmAlone but I was saving seats for those #LAKiddosSubconsciously. This girl came next me and said are you saving this part? I was like yeah, I actually am. A couple minutes pass and #iWasDefendingButBeingPolite #TakingSelfiesToPassTheTime #Pano #WhateveriWanted.
#WhereRMyLAFriends?!
I then see them and I yell, “Hey, I saved you some bad ass seats?”
They were shocked that I had saved these for them. #ForReal #YeahHurryUpPeopleHaveBeenGivingMeLooks. We all sat down, #NoPhonesYet... just talking and #ShootingTheShit. Find out more about their lives and what they do. The phones then come into play. #FBFriends #Pictures #StatusUpdates.
I then ask if they had seen any of these bands before? They had not seen #NewPolitics or #FallOutBoy! I explained to them that they were in for some #FreeStylingBreakDanceMovesWithNewPolitics and #HighschoolFeelzWithFOB
I am not sure how much I will talk about the other bands performing because this chapter is not about them, but rightfully so, I do #Respect both of them. On that note. #NewPolitics did not disappoint at all.
I was however waiting for #DavidBoyd lead singer to bust out some moves. Oh #HotDamn he totally did. #TheyBroughtTheEnergy. #GreatOpener #WishTheWouldHavePlayed #EverywhereiGo. I did however manage to tag myself in their #FacebookPost.

Saturday
What is #NOT to like about this amazing, #SetList. It was an amazing mix of their #Catalogue. I remembered that their #StageSetUp took a little bit of time, but #WhatWasiExpecting? Nothing more than #Greatness from them. I have seen them a few times and they have impressed me every time.
They started out with what I thought they would have, because that song was just a great #Opener. #ThePhoenix and it was #ToppingTheCharts during that period. #PutOnYourWarPaint is exactly what they did. #SurrenderLove
One of the crazy things that I do remember from that show, was that this #IlluminatiMotherfucker just showed up out of the middle of nowhere! I was like, huh. Well that is interesting. #Trendy or are they part of it?! Haha.
They seriously did put me on a #TimeWarp back to #HighschoolishEra. It was a #FloodOfMemories #Girls #Roadtrips #LosingVirginity, you know the usual things that would come up in your #AdolescentYouth.
One song that they will always have in my heart, that #iWishTheyWouldHavePlayed was #Saturday. I have an epic story dating back to when I saw them open for #MatchbookRomance and #Midtown in #SaintLouis back in #2005. #ThatsAnInPersonStory. A hint though is, right when it breaks to the #HardcoreOutro at #TwoThirtyThreeOnYouTube. Thats #SortaLikeItWas #YouHadToBeThere

#ITGONNAGETLLLLIIIIITTTTTT
#IWANNABELIT
Now on to #Paramooooooorrrreeeee! I am sitting there, getting all #Fanboyee. #SortaFreakingOut. Then it happens. I see the #TourBandMembers come up. Whoa? Is that? Oh shit thats, #AaronGillespie from #Underoath!
Then boom, this huge #LightUpBoard is making #Distorting noises. Much like this picture and the noise of #EveryoneScreaming #SmokeIsComingDown. I am guessing they are opening with #FastInMyCar #Now or #AintItFun. Just like that it was #StillIntoYou! #LightsAreGoingCrayCray #HayleyStartsSkanking #ItsMoreThanICouldImagine naw, then it explodes with #ConfettiAndStreamers #iTookASequenceShot through that part. #ScrollThroughItFastOnMyFBAlbum.
#TaylorThenShredTheFuckOuttaTheGuitar #JermeyIsConducting #HayleyIsWorkingTheStage its #ThatsWhatYouGet #ItsGloriousNBeautiful #WelcomeToMonumentour!
Hayley then says, “Just incase you don't know, and I expect you to know by now. But maybe there is like one guy somewhere up there, who doesn't and to that guy I want to say Hey you, #WeAreParamore!!!” #Ignorance BreaksOut. I seriously am #Moshing in my small, concrete, area seat thing. Almost falling over like five million times throughout the show. I do have to mention that #Aaron brought an #Intensity to their set being on drums.
Hayley mentioned that she loves to play #FastSongs and I'm like oh shit is it going to be #FastInMyCar?! Nope, they tricked me #EveryDamnTime! I was sad that they didn't play that song at all during their set but their #Catalogue is #Monumental too.
Right after #OnlyException, Hayley then said something very #Inspiring:
“ Thank you very much, beautiful voices, its nice. So i'd let to let you guys in on a little secret this is our tenth anniversary. [haha] its so weird, it's so weird. Umm, ten years goes by so fast. It feels like yesterday we were driving to Denver for the very first time, and uh. It you know, I'll never forget running out of breathe during #Whoa and just laying on the ground for the entire evening and rest of the show. [haha].
Umm its amazing how fast ten years goes by and its amazing how many life times you can fit into ten years, you know. I feel like, for instance with us like for like for every album, we've lived three different lives and umm I am just so happy that we are still here and thank you guys for sticking around as well, thats amazing!
Umm our band, our band is umm you know. We have been through a lot. There has been a lot of ups, lot of super high highs and a lot of super low lows as well though. But I dont think you have to be in a band to get that, I think thats just life, and I think no matter what profession you might have ended up in besides being in a band, we would have dealt with some of same emotions, probably all the same emotions and there was a point right before we released a new record, actually when we were writing it, that umm this song sort of spilled out of us, and I realized how sad that we had been and how how we had been in this place where we werent content and werent fulfilled anymore, and it was very scary, actually, it was very depressing and then this song happened and sort of, a light came on and it was amazing how much I realized that this is, I was apart of something, we, the three of us are apart of something.
I want you to know before you leave here tonight, that you, being here tonight. Listening to any of your favorite bands, writing songs yourself, writing poems, reading books, any of that you are apart of something that goes on way longer than any of us will ever be alive. You are apart of something, please know that! [Crowd Cheers]. This song goes out to umm RobinWilliams its called … #LastHope”
I felt like she was talking to me, just everyone, and then I became sad and actually shed a few tears once she said that this song was dedicated to #RobinWilliams. It was very #Surreal. #ItsJustASparkButItsEnoughToKeepMeGoing

So during #MiseryBusiness #Hayley asked if anyone wanted to come up and help finish the last chorus with her, she made some hilarious bit about #DoraTheExplorer and then some #LuckySOB named #Anissa got to come up on stage and help her. #GoldenMicrophoneFirstShowAtRedRocks. She did #RockOutVeryWellAndGreatStagePresence #Natural
