Pammie and I have this game we play called <em>Guess What Year?<\/em> (it&#8217;s a working title), and I can always pinpoint the year a song came out because I&#8217;m able to tie it to life events. Like I know that Boyz II Men&#8217;s <em>One Sweet Day<\/em> came out when I was 13, because I remember crying to that song at Sharon Bernardo&#8217;s birthday party when I found out that Raymond Alcarion liked my best friend and not me. I&#8217;m totally over him now, partly because that was 22 years ago, but mostly because my name would have been &#8220;Marion Alcarion&#8221; had our love stood the test of time! Yikes.<\/p>\n<p>When I was 18, my friend Nick Costa told me, &#8220;Linkin Park&#8230; Remember that name&#8230; They&#8217;re gonna be HUGE someday.&#8221; I downloaded some songs off of their EP on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Napster\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Napster<\/a> (yes, I was 18 that long ago) and became a solid LP fan after that. I remember going to the library to chat in their forum in between classes in college. I remember listening to their CD in Sheena&#8217;s car while I practiced driving stick around Jamul. I remember how sad I was when their intimate show at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sandiegouniontribune.com\/sdut-canes-bar-amp-grill-end-its-run-after-13-years-2009oct10-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canes<\/a> sold out before I could get tickets to their first tour. Linkin Park soundtracked a time in my life that I reminisce about often, and it makes me sad to think that Chester is gone now, too.<\/p>\n<p>I was lucky enough to see Chester in concert a couple times in my life, and being able to go his memorial show and hearing all those songs made me feel like I was 18 again (my sore stems the next day from standing during their 3-hour set reminded me that I&#8217;m nearly twice that age). All these years later, I still remember their lyrics. Also, can we just talk about how good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/m_shinoda\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mike Shinoda<\/a> still looks???
