Derek,
We need to know about the concert at Hard Rock in KY. Heather and i want to really go, but we cant find any tickets. It is only a 12 hour drive and trust me will will do it. I wrote all of this stuff on Ryan's post cause i figured you would read it. Please lets us know if you are still going to do the concert and how or if we can get the tickets. U told Heather and I that you owed us one for going all the way to Vegas to see u guys. Well please write back. We want to go. U dont understand how much Heather and i miss you guys. Well hopefully you write back in time before the concert so we can see you guys again. Love Ya!!! SES Nation Rocks!!!!! Love Shay-Lyn

Hey Derek!, thanks for coming and updating us!, just wanted to say that you guys rule, you're the best!(I guess you already know, cuz of my e-mail, hehe), thanks for everything and can't wait for you to come to Mexico, you better! and to listen to your new CD. Take care and hope to see you soon.

Hi Derek! I am finally back up at SFA to continue my education. Actually, I've been sitting in my room watching tv because there isn't much to do in this little town. I already miss being in Houston, going out, going to concerts, and just having fun! Speaking of concerts, I heard that you guys are going to be in Kentucky at Hard Rock on the 18th. I've already gone to Vegas to see you guys, so why not Kentucky? The problem is that I can't find where to get the tickets. Shay and I are willing to do the 12 hour drive if we can get in because we love you guys! Plus, like I said, there isn't much to do here. I need to get out of this town and do something! So if you could help me out here and let me know how to get tickets, I would really appreciate it. Anyway, I did see the VMAs. I was really disappointed. I was mad that the three alternative bands they had had to play one right after the other, and they didn't even play the whole songs! Everything was about hip hop and pop. They are great musicians, but I'm not into all of that. I want to see more alternative, more rock, more of you guys! I can't wait for your new cd to come out! I am anxious to hear it! Well, I will talk to you later, Babe. SES Rocks!!!

Hey,

Well i got kicked out of class today for screaming ses rocks.But at leats outside the classroom i can sing without interupting the class.The teacher looks like a penguin anyways.I went to a concert last nite (another free one)and the concert got out at 11:30pm and then me and dani decided to hang out for a while.And all of a sudden our old pal matt shows up.So we hung out with him for a while and didnt come home till like 1.I then had to do more homework and so i didnt get to sleep till like 3 and then had to wake up at 6 10 this morning.The alarm goes off and i chucked it at the wall.Mum comes in at 650 screaming at me.Your ride for school is going to be here in 20 min.Get your ass up.So i rushed and got ready and ran outside.My ride takes me to school and i look at my watch and i have a min to get to first period.I run to class and i noticed i didnt bring my homework that i worked so hard on lastnite.So mad.But oh well.Oh and then i got in trouble for having to go pee.Whats wrong with having to go pee.wait a tick.I hear skateboards outside my house.YEsssss i was right.Ok well i have some people to tell about ses.

Rock on.

Your Email isnt working, everytime i send anything it comes right back

Hey Derek, listen to my crazy story. Well I work at a subway in utah, and while i was filling water up to mop the floors my boss, Dawn, informed me that her husband, Mark, was your cousin. I was in shock and jealous to be honest. She said something like you weren't close because your dad died? My dad died too not very long ago. So I can kind of relate to you on that. To finish my story the water went all over the place!!! I've got to go eat subway now so mmmyeah. I LOVE the band!!!! Oh and I love the name Pogen. It gives me giggles and stuff!!!

Love It Mean It

Im already greatly anticipating your next release. And if you could email me or something and tell me seans guitar set up that would be THE GREATEST thing ive done so much work just looking at pictures. he, to me, has the greatest guitar sound around, its completely different from anything else ive heard. BY THE WAY FAMILY GUY AND SOUTH PARK ARE THE GREATEST SHOWS. hey man also we need hecklers veto stuff to hear! just watched bottom of a bottle on aol sessions you guys did great.

DEREK!!! it's Hannah and Cherry again.

first off, some things on your post...... "you think you'll say hi to..", what's up with that. i dunno know what i'm saying right now....2 hours of sleep makes you not focus. another thing, you agree that sean is a hottie? how will he react knowing that you feel that way... just kidding. me and cherry act like we're hitting on each other all the time. we have arguments "no you're hot....no you are......you're right, i am hot." Cherry's new line is " i love you. you know why....cause i'm hott."

great fun great fun.

yeah, so Cherry has a thrashed foot cause....well..... i pushed her into a skating bowl. oops.

we got a new drummer! we can't seem to find one that sticks, so we just go through them like preppy chick and lip gloss. you know the inside of a drummers mind, why don't they wanna commit to a fun, random band?

hey derek, guess what............E-MAIL ME!!!!!

master_beast9000@hotmail.com

ummmmmm.......hmmmmm...... tell ryan i disagree with the whole sleep is the cousin of death thing. it's more like either a brother or an uncle twice removed. once again, i don't know quite what i'm saying.

when are you going to put up that chat thingy-mobober-whachyamacallits? i just remembered that. whateva.

well i'll let you go. Cherry says hi. uh, yeah.

later lemon-head!

smile empty soul rocks my face off! (i had to put that down)

I think MTV is losing its credibility. Of course, is that the understatement of the year, or what?

Nat, Derek's asking you to go dancing. ;-)

Stefani

hey guys! hows it going, well ive read all your entrys but havent wrote here in quite a long time, nothing ever happens and it seems i never really have anything interesting to say, just like now, but i figured id make an apperance =)

i cant wait for the single, i know its gonna rock! speaking of rock, have you picked up Papa Roach's new cd Getting Away With Murder? it came out yesterday and its absolutely fucking amazing, it rocks like none other, well, almost, but its awesome and you should check it out if your interested in a new sound!

as for the VMA's, they completly sucked this year..except for two parts, 1> Marilyn Manson comming on and introducing some lame group and 2> watching some dumbass on stage cry..haha!

hmmm... school starts on the 7th, so im kinda looking forward to seeing all my peeps again, i miss them bunch and i like to be loner in the summer and dont keep in touch much, it gives me my me time. thats it for now, and i can tell you i'll be paying more attention and reading peoples posts and posting more often myself...oh, and SORRY FOR THE LONGish POST

SES ROCKS!!!

Hey SES,
Wow i am so much higher than last time but oh well at least all the post get read so it doesn't really matter. I just want to say hey whats up ses. I enjoy ya'lls music so much. I wish ya'll could come to waco, tx but i hardly doubt ya'll will cus not many bands perform in waco. It sux. But if ya'll did i would so try my hardest to buy tickets. Hey derek thanx for saying hi. I might be in cali sometime in november only cus my friend lives in ocean side and she is suppose to have a baby and she needs help around there cus she is in the navy. i feel sorry for her but it was her fault. but anyways. I hope to hear from ya'll soon. Later.

Yeah, I watched the VMAs. It sucked. I'm sorry, after last years Britney-Madonna-Christina kiss, I sort of expected something big. I thought the awards were given wrong (*shakes fist* Outkast beat Incubus in the one VMA they were nominated for) and the presenters were boring.

Looking forward to the new record, definitely. I'll be counting the days till February.

Wow, that is the worst joke I've ever heard of. Who would ever want to be a protocolgist anyway? Starting at people's asses all day.

Just a question: Why do you always type in caps?

P.S. I do love my neighbour (mostly because he's really good-looking).

Hey!!
Whats UP!! I hope You guys all come to Edge Fest in Arizona this summer. It is September 18. It would be awesome if you guys did!
Much Love to all ya!!

wooooh...good times, good times

er...anyways, DEREK, I WAS SO HAPPY YOU EMAILED ME BACK AND THOUGHT MY SONG/POEM "KICKS ASS"! THAT'S SO AWESOME! LIKE I LITERALLY JUMPED OUT OF MY SEAT AND BOUNCED UP AND DOWN! WOOOH! I PRINTED IT OUT AND AM GONNA PUT IT IN MY FAVORITE BINDER...WOULD PUT IT ON MY WALL EXCEPT MY PARENTS R KINDA RELIGIOUS FREAKS SO...

YES! PUT THE EVERY SUNDAY VIDEO ON THE SITE!

(mimicking best Ben Stiller/Starsky impression)
DO IT
DO IT

please? :)

ok yeah, no more caps i know thats annoying! hmm...how about that new record coming out aye? i think late late december is good so for all those ppl with birthdays on January 1st *WINKAGE-WINKAGE*...lol

well anyways, good luck on the new CD! dying to hear it, although the first CD NEVER GETS OLD! it is definetly my favorite CD of all time and I have a board on my wall dedicated to pictures and lyrics of/by you guys.

oh yeah, the VMAs sucked. I thought you guys should have been in the MTV2 category and the Best New Artist/Group and of course BEST MUSIC VIDEO OF THE YEAR!

yeah but what can we expect right? they've got ponces like Yellowcard playing and all. Not much you can do against those MTV punks i guess. cept build up the SES NATION AND INVADE! er...

ok yeah i'm done

ttyl DEREK! thanks again, it means so much to me! LATER AND GOOD LUCK!

Hey guys!! what's up???? I hope you got that poem that i wrote.... I'm not sure if you read my thing or if you'll read this one... I wrote some lyrics, can you tell me what you think pweese...

:send me away:

When I surface you push me back down
Watching me fall
Watching me drown
All you said wasn't true
Calling out to you
I walk within the mist
Only to find a broken heart again

Silence my cries
As I fall away
A lie in disguise
I've become your prey
You held me just to push me
Push me away

Send me away
Somewhere far
So I can cry alone
I will find my star
My bloody hands
Will reach for thee
Stopping within your path
Just to hold me once again
So you can lie
And pretend
That you love me once again

Silence my cries
As I fall away
A lie in disguise
I've become your prey
You held me just to push me
Push me away

If life were fair
I wouldn't be here
Telling you to stop
Stop lying to me
If I could fly
I'd show you the lies
That crawl within your soul
Just so you know
I'll never let this go

Silence my cries
As I fall away
A lie in disguise
I've become your prey
You held me just to push me
Push me away

Screaming I've come to
I'll forever haunt you
Just to watch you lose some sleep
To watch you cry just like me
To send you away from here
To watch your lies turn to fear

Silence my cries
As I fall away
A lie in disguise
I've become your prey
You held me just to push me
Push me away

thanks so much for reading this and I love y'all, oh yeah i got some more people listening to you guys. they think you rock!

Derek: Go you!!! You show those singers who's boss. I remember my big kareoke moment like it was yesterday. Years back at the end of my 8th grade year, there was a school dance called the 8th Grade Beach Party. I got up and sang "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on the kareoke machine they had there. And it was in front of almost the entire class I graduated with from junior high and I wasn't nevrous at all. All I felt was "Yeah, I like that song! I gotta go up there and sing it!" Haha.

email address ya say? Cool! Fun fun fun to keep in touch with you three.

Well that's all I gotta say. One of my buddies is chattin' with me on AIM... Oh yeah, on August 21st? I think your last entry was the 20th, I had a long chat with him on the phone. heh heh and this online pal of mine's is sorta next door neighbor. No wait, Next STATE neighbor because he's from Delaware! We talked and joked around for at least two hours! XD Well laters! Lots of love to Smile Empty Soul.

Well this trucker guy pulled up next to me and I thought he was going to yell at me but instead he said "That's fucking awesome who the hell is that?" So ofc I had to educate him.lol. Well he started head banging and left. I started head bagning again and hit my damn head on the dashboard,..BUT I STILL KEPT HEAD BANGING! I had a headache for a week. Okay well anyway you guys fucking kick some major ass! Sean needs to post on here or I'm gonna have to start kickin some ass.

Just writing to say hi and let you know how excited I am about the new album. I've seen you guys live 3 times and you get better every time, so I can't even imagine whats about to come. I'm starting my freshmen year at Ithaca College and I was surprised to find how many people have never heard of you guys. I'm working hard to spread the word and even submitting your lyrics to my professor as part of a discussion topic in my writing forum. Have fun with the writing process because thats what its all about. Keep the great music coming. I love you guys!

p.s. derek,when you guys go on tour again do you think you'll come to Frontier City again in Oklahoma?

Hey guys! Mmm, I skipped school today cause I was sick, but my whole day brightened when I saw you'd posted! Whee!! *dances* Shit yeah, everyone loves Family Guy! LoL you're first band I've actually gotten to answer that, you rock! \m/ !! Hmmm, well not to much going on with me besides the whole school thing, which sucks ass... But oh well, a prelude to the work force. If I'm lucky maybe I'll get a job in music! Not in a band cause lets face it, I have no talent, but lol I wanna produce music! Or something like that, who knows, I'm easily swayed into new things...

You know what sucks? I checked the tour dates today and you aren't coming anywhere near me. But you are going to Louisville, KY, which is where I'm supposed to move to! That's fucked up, oh well maybe I can catch you on you're next tour, probly for the next record!

Hmm, now I have to get a myspace account... I've been meaning to anyway, though, cause there's another band who has one, EverSINcevE who're pretty good. They're a band in Florida... Cha, I'll shut up now, I can email you! *dances* Yay!

POOKY LUFFS ALL \m/\m/

This is a poem i wrote....and I feel deeply about it....It's about my life and a guy i know's life

Raised up by his mother and an imitation father
With imitation brothers and sisters
He never knew his father and he never liked his mother
And there was always a fight going on

So he started writing about all the fighting
And all the over-nightings he did at his friends
But he never knew what he would do if this all came to an end

Drunk for a father, unrespectable mother
Fake family pictures with his sister and brother
He had things he could only wish for
But long before he knew anymore

His father started the daily beating
And he’d be teased between daily teachings
But maybe it’s just that he’s reaching
But really the pain inside just kept on seething

Hey there!! Oh, just thought I'd comment first on that I FINALLY got my dad to buy me the guitar and amp I wanted!! Hoorah!! Lol so now my band is actually complete... So it'll be here in a week. YAY! Oh OMG Derek, Sean, and Ryan.. Oh the excitement!!! I contacted my fave magazine, and told them to feature you guys under the music section... waitin for a response from them... Then I contacted JBTV (An Alt. Rock "show" where its a whole hour of playin Alt. Rock bands' music videos.. all the way over here in the Chicago area..) Well I contacted them and they're gonna play "Silhouettes" and I think "Nowere Kids" on a few of their shows! They actually listened to me! Lol so yea.. I just thought to let yeh guys kno about that. Later guys! Keep Rockin'! ~*~Sara~*~ (aka the #1 fan in Lansing, IL!)

HOLY SHIT ! I AM SOOO PISSED! SOME DUMB FUCK SENT ME A MESSEGE ON MYSPACE SAYIN AND I QUOT "smile empty soul is the worst corporatley backed band i have ever heard. they have no concernable talent to the music industry and if it wasnt for stupid 15 yr old girls who like everything they hear on the radio they would not have any fans. hence the reason why u are the lone member of this pathetic pop bands fan group...... LISTEN TO REAL MUSIC!!!!!" .......I USED THE WORK "FUCK" IN THE REPLY THAT I DID LIKE 10 TIMES (no lie!) nam i am pissed.....I SAY EVERONE THAT HAS MYSPACE JOIN MY GROUP AND CUS THAT BITCH OUT!!!!

******SEAN, DEREK AND RYAN********

HEY GUYS!!! This is the highest I have been in the posts for awhile so hopefully you will read it and say hello to me...haven't had a shout out in a while...come on Derek! I have you guys tattooed on me! lol ANYWAYS, so I am gearing up for the 2nd hurricane in 3weeks to hit us in a little under 2 days. This is freaking crazy...we still have trees on houses and power lines down everywhere and now we are right in the path of that bitch Frances. God, FL SUCKS!!! By the time it hits me it will be like a category 3 or maybe still a 4....I hope I don't blow away! Charley sucked and this one is going be bigger and moving a lot slower. Oh well, what can you do right but kiss your ass goodbye!
Anyway, about the VMA's...I agree w/you Derek...let's just say that some people were a bit out of tune. I did see that Stereiogram were up for some awards which was cool.
Well, hope you guys are having fun on the new cd and I can't freakin' wait till it comes out!

Wish me luck w/Frances!!!!!

MUCH LOVE, MISS YOU GUYS!!!!!

JENNI C

hey guys well how is sean doing i never hear from him and also i really hated the VMAs to be honest because there was a lot of rap stuff and no offence if you guys like rap i personally dont like it but yea thats what i thought of the awards it would have been better if you guys where there but i know u guys are probably happy to be home for a while. but anyways love you all and i agree also with aj sean is absolutly hott but ryan and derek are totally fine.. can u guys give any secrets about the new album? talk to u guys another time. when is the live chat room going to go on?

(it's second period, i never have homework by then and i'm not a morning person anyways)the vmas werent that good. i watched bits of it but not much. it was mostly music i dont like. but whatever. i got hit in the head with a wad of silly putty type stuff we made in science during eniglish. ouchie! it was drying and hard. i hate sitting in alphabetical order caz i alwys get stuck in front of this asshole everyone hates. but the thing bounced off hy head and the next thing i know the guy that threw it was holding my head saying how sorry he was. i just asked him to let go of my head. it was wierd. second week of school and i've already got two things people will remember me for. this and screaming the falling on my butt everytime they set the cannon off at the football game last weekend. funny! i am so sick of school food! oh well. you guys are awesome! buh byes!

Hey what gonin' on. I saw you guys at the Earthday birthday concert in Orlando, it was awsome. Hey i know that you guys are very busy, trying to tour and write new songs. but i was wondering if you guys play at partys and if you do then maybe you can play at my 17th birthday party. well hopefully you can make it down to Florida and be able to play at it. i'll give you other details when you e-mail me.

Thanks

Hey Derek, Sarah from Chicago here! U prolly dont remember me much but I gave u that necklace back in July. Anyways, I cut my hair!! If u dont remember it was pretty long and now its gone...its really short! I'll email u a pic some time. Oh and Im glad u brought up bowling...I love bowling but its so emabarassing for me, Im really really bad at it and Im a lefty so its hard for someone to teach me how to be better :( But about a week and a half ago I went bowling with the boys from Strata, well I should say I watched them bowl...I wanted to, I REALLY DID, but they tease me enough when Im with them, lol...So I kinda just cheered them on (except Ryan and their friend Nathan) I have to pick on them, its like a rule, hehe! SORRY, Im getting off the topic! What I was gonna say is that u should come visit Chicago and go bowling, it'd be alot of fun :) You can see how bad I am! Well thats all for now I guess. Take care babe... Stay safe!

IT's cool to hear from them too! Ryan is so funny. I love reading what he writes! Ok gonna run. Lots to do, and little time before the weekend arrives. ENjoy the Labor Day weekend! OH! I have a great joke for ya....

A Polish immigrant goes to the DMV to apply for a driver's license. He has to take an eye sight test. The optician shows him a card with the letters 'C Z W I X N O S T A C Z'
"Can you read this?" the optician asks
"Read it?" the Polish guy replies, "I know the guy !!"

Isn't that the BEST Polish joke ever?! I heard them ALL growing up and they were so rude. That one is great!
Anyway, take care of yourselves! I know u do Derek! LOL. DOn't get dehydrated running in that heat!

The VMAs fuckin blew! All this crap about hip hop making a huge comeback is SHIT! People are so gay.
It's fuckin awesome you guys got the new album kicked off. Can't wait to hear it.
Yer right about this fighting and community shtuff, but yer also talkin to a bunch of heavily media-influenced teenage girls here. Not sayin everyone on here is a teenage girl...but for the most part, it's pretty obvious.
But, yeah...September 30th and October 31st, I get too meet Sevendust n shtuff. It's my first concert in over a year.
Give me a shout when you guys are comin to Wisconsin. I'll do my best to come see the show. See ya later!

DDPG is my hero. <3

i wasnt judging, i was just wondering why. i mean if i said oh those people are stuipd or whatever, then you could say i was judging them, but i didnt say that now, did i? nopity nope! people need to loosen up. HEY kelly, thats MY word, hehe :-P

ahhh i see your point and retract my earlier comment

i just bid on a kurt cobain bullet on ebay...i guess it was found in his house a few days after his body AWESOME

Though id say what the fuck is up....again !!!! Im bored and i think i broke my butt bone! --Kara

Ya, but it is kind of weird that people freak out when Dirk e-mails someone of gives em a shout out. He's just a normal fella like everyone else. Oh, and you guys should do like a charity concert in the SCV for like the Michael Hoefflin (sp?) Foundation. That would be tight.

Another Poem
Messed up family, imperfect ways
Feels as if i've been drowning, locked in a cage
Drunken father forced into this family
Freak for a mother, Wouldn't have it any other way
Life goes on but not your spirit. Been messed up. That's what I inherit

Toss and turn can't even sleep
Mistreat, penetrates deep
I can't take abuse, How can you misuse? Tell it all and suck up to the truth. Horrifying family situation never take away the pain
I'll live this life and never live again
I'll be happy when it stops but that all depends on pops cause with him and hos ways he flips and flops

"Censored this" FINE "CENSOR THAT" I'd take at you with a shiny metal bat

Hey what's up guys!?! I went to that www.banksy.co.uk site. It's so cool. I'm totally into graffiti and shit. I definately watched the VMAs. You guys need to be on there. :-( I was totally pullin for Linkin Park for viewer's choice and I was so stoked when they won. I only voted about...OVER 150 TIMES! lol. I'd do the same for you guys too. Who did you want to win Viewer's Choice? I'm so happy cause we have everyone for the Slipknot Halloween thing. It's gonna be sweet. We'll get major props on our homemade masks. I can't wait to see you guys at Xfest in Dayton, Ohio. I already know for a fact you're gonna kick some major ass. So will everyone else. There's not one of those bands that I don't like. I like some more than others but that's it. I'll DEFINATELY be there. You guys should maybe...walk around and sign some autographs. *hint*hint*wink*wink* Well, I'll talk to you guys later! Peace out Holmes. :-P

hiya pogen!! thnks for adding me to ur my space!! well anyways...i had all these plans for tonight but its raining so now i cant go...i was supposed to go to a football game and then they were gonna have a victory dance afterwards...ugh!! stupid rain! lol so now im just sitting at home on my fat ass...and im bored...this is one exciting friday night! haha o well...i'll get over it...well im gonna go eat something cause im starving and im thinkin its a good idea! lol I LOVE YA POGEN!! later...

Depressed, fucked up father
Raised with out a mother
Raped and misused hurt and abused
fucking father had the guts to use his shitty little nuts on you. Got you pregnant so you don't know what to do.
Run away and never come back, but fall into another man's hands. Same misuse, but do you run away? Or are you so used to it that you're no longer afraid?
Had to give a portion of your heart to get an abortion.
Fucking daddy says, "Open wide!" Do you listen or do you hide? You get beat to the point of defeat...And now there's nowhere to turn...accept to give in to the sluty [censored], to give in over and over again, raped and no one knows and you won't let it show
But daily floggings and beatings for no apparent reason...And you're wore down...And can't take this anymore.

haha...derek's hot, sean's hot, ryan's hot..haha, jk, i just wanted to say it to get on dutch's nerves! lol, she knows she luffs me.. ;) but how's it goin tiff, aint talked to u n a while...catch cha later..

Hey guys! I'm kinda new here and stuff, but I am totally -not- new to the band! I loved you guys the moment I heard "Bottom of a Bottle" on the radio. It was awesome! Uhm. Take care!

I'm about ready to go through the Hurricane Frances, and I'm a little bit scared, but all I need is my Smile Empty Soul cd and a couple batteries to keep my cd player up and running and I'm all good.

Much love~!

Eeek! Is anyone else here completely freaked out by the terrorist attacks in Russia? A hostage situation geared towards children... It's already ranked 2nd in terrorist attacks by death rate, directly following 9/11. And only 8 days away from it. I know, stupid of me to bring up politics in a comment to SES, but it's consuming my mind...

POOKY LUFFS ALL AND WISHES THE PEOPLE WHO HELD THE SCHOOL HOSTAGE WOULD DIE VERY DRAWN OUT AND PAINFUL DEATHS

vamos a bailar means 'lets dance' nat...

well im feeling shitty about just about everything there is in my life to feel shitty about today.

my father brought his stupid ass slut girlfriend around me and my brothers and sister today. not going into it lets just say it was less than pleasant.

plus theres my friends death anniversary which i told you about already

and well just basically feeling shitty about myself and everything else.

but im still here because i have you guys! thanks!
