Which prize they would receive: The CD's
Reason for nomination:
A reason. I can't just address one reason. One isn't enough to describe his dedication, his devotion to the band known as Linkin Park. They are his life and passion. Everything about him is Linkin Park, and nothing about his life is not. Being his brother, it often gets old to hear him talk to such colossal extent about them. Our DVR has recorded everything that television has played about Linkin Park in the previous two years. His room is abundant with everything Linkin Park-Posters, CD's that he proudly displays, and a few articles of clothing hanging up in his closet. But his commitment isn't that superficial. If it was, I wouldn't be writing this for him now. I know the first album he ever owned was Hyrbid Theory, which he inherited from me. The next was Meteora, and Minutes to Midnight. I know for a fact that his Ipod is closing in on 400 songs that are solely by you know who. I never see him listen to anything other band anymore. I'm doing the absolute best job I can to describe his borderline obsession with them, but words have yet to be created to communicate such an act. I remember a year or two ago when he had had his birthday party. Some of his relatives and friends just gave him money to spend on whatever he wanted. He saved it all, and ended up buying the rare album Hyrbid Theory EP online off of E-Bay. That was the most excited I've ever seen him when he won the auction. And when it came in the mail, and he realized it was a fake, it was the most heartbroken I have ever seen him. Of course he eventually got over it, and used his newly found time waiting for new songs. He stayed up all night for The Catalyst in the hopes the radio station would play it prematurely. He marked A Thousand Suns on his calender the day that information became accessible online. He keeps up the Linkin Park video chat in his room when he goes to sleep, so he doesn't ever miss a chance to talk with the band. No updates or new information ever has the slim chance to get past him. Why? Because he checks at least 5 Linkin Park websites at least semi-daily. I'm sure that there are handfuls of people out there in the world that would genuinely deserve to win this prize, but I would never, ever be even remotely able to find one single reason why he deserves it any less.
SAME IP FOR BOTH PEOPLE - Jen
