ugh. i'm getting old
i turn 23 on tuesday. which may not sound old, however, it feels like it. it feels like i've been 22 for 6 years.
we're playing a hosue show monday (first show of the year) and we're playing into my b day. which should be fun. we have alot of new songs we want to play. one in particular called "me VS the bar, in a drinking contest for the world".
i met a cute girl tonight. i hope she comes to the show. i think she might be a hippie, but she was awesome.
kenny powers out! |

Felching is a sexual practice in which semen or other fluids are sucked out of the anus of a partner. The act of sucking the semen and then passing it, mouth to mouth or open mouth kissing, is referred to as "snowballing"; although the latter is typically associated with semen ejaculated into a mouth from fellatio.
Felching can also mean the licking or sucking of another person's anus, may involve the use of a plastic straw and is similar to the act of a rimjob (anilingus) [1] |

can someone please explain to me why the hell 90% of the time when i order a cheeseburger, they put like a head of lettuce, a whole tomato, like a whole onion and 4 pickles on it. if i wanted a salad, i would have fucking ordered one.
"yes, i would like a cheeseburger"
that means: bun, cheese, ketchup, mustard, burger. that's it. get your salad out of my cheeseburger! |

so at work i get a lot of time in my car to just think while im driving. not that i'm setting that time aside to just think or anything. it just kinda happens driving around for hours. among other things today i thought about this time i was like 16 and i was kinda seeing this girl. I was a dumb 16 year old and the last time i hung out with her i made an ass our of myself infront of her friends and pissed her off. when i was taking her home that night somehow a promise of me writing her a letter (i guess that was her way of telling me it was over or whatever) happened. (needless today i wasn't pround of me being a jackass). I get home tonight (like 7 years later) and my high school Geometry book was setting on the stairs with a legal pad inside it. i pick it up to flip through it and look at the legal pad. the first page of the pad is just stupid notes about intersecting lines and and shit like that. on the next page is the letter i wrote her. It apologized for me acting like a dumbass and telling her that i cared and what have you. Obviously, i never sent it. which goes to show you that i never finish anything.
however, i do find it weird that on the same day i actually think about something that happened 7 years ago, i find the letter that was supposed to tie up those loose ends. It's not like i would send it now, i don't even know where she is anyways. but it just strikes me as odd i would find that letter. maybe it's a sing i should get shit together... |

regaurding the rumor that Johnny Depp will be playing the riddler in the upcomming batman sequal. that sucks.
you can't let him do that. i know they're just trying to figure out some way to top Heath's joker. but singing a big name celeb is the easy way out.
Just cast Michael Emerson. he is the petter pick. |

my life lately doesn't seem like my life. i have everything going on and yet, nothing at all.
i'm sick of only posting in live journal when i feel ironic, elitist, or depressed. you deserve better than this. you've been with me since junior year of high school. (which is about 6 years now).
i went to a party tonight where i was the youngest person there. i'm 22. that's hard to do. i hit on a girl who after about 15 minuets into the conversation pointed out she was 10 years older than me. it was pretty rad. one thing i can say is those "kids" in their late 20's/early 30's have MUCH better taste in music than kids my age or younger. i listened to The Lawrence Arms, Hot Water Music, Samiam, Osker, Kid Dynamite, Mock Orange, Face To Face, Jawbreaker, NOFX, and Green Day mixed in with modern indie and top 40. shit like M.I.A and Justin Timberlake and Broken Social Scene. if these people can listen to this kind of shit together, why is everyone my age so stuck on one thing or just tunnel visioned?
i got home from Social Life's first tour earlier this week. it wasn't a big tour. we just did part of the north east coast. (cities: High Point, Greensboro, VA Beach, Richmond, Baltimore, Severna Park, New Brunswick and Trenton. and we stopped in DC.) For a first tour i will i say it couldn't have gone better. A lot of people say first tours are sight seeing and waiting. which i will say, we had enough days off to do a lot of sight seeing. but, we always had a place to stay, always had booze to drink, always had food to eat, always had people to hang with and every show had a good turnout of kids who truly enjoyed the music. this gives me hope. i thought no one cared about punk rock or pop punk anymore. if they arn't wearing american apperal and playing synth fuck em, is what i thought the motto was. maybe i was wrong.
i think our E.P. came out really well. if you havn't heard it yet, it's free, and it's up for stream or download on our myspace. (www.myspace.com/sociallifenc) go give it a shot, if you havn't yet. even if you don't like it. give it a chance. that's all i ask. i've decided this is my life and this is what i will do until i die, even it gets me nowhere, at least i'm not selling out, right? (at least, until i get the chance at a big contract...hopefully). if you don't like the recordings, let me know. i won't take offence, i'd actually like to hear what you think i could do to make it better. if you do like it, awesome, let me know. i'll get you a copy with the "artwork". i honestly don't think i've put more of myself into anything. so feedback is more than welcome. i mean, hell, if you're reading this, that means you're a livejournal friend, which means i've known you for a hell of a long time.
last thing. still single. still painfully looking. i know a girl who i like. but i'm not putting too much stock into it. i'm done with the 15 year old puppydog love. it hurts too much. so let me know if you think im good for someone.
-denoff out. |

So, i think i may have had a life changing experience. I have never been to a strip club. And, let me stop you there. before you think i'm gonna go and rant about how much i love boobs, you're wrong. because let's face it. if you know me, you know i love boobs just as much as the next guy, but this story, it did something to me.
I was hanging out with Caleb at Nate's as usual. and he said that his friend was the door girl at a local strip club. Neither one of us had ever been to "skin bar", if you will, before in our lives. so when the idea was proposed i was like "hell yeah". because like i said, i like boobs. so we drink a few more beers and go up there.
So we pull into the parking lot and walk through the doors to get our IDs checked by his friend, who lets us in for free, for the most part. let me tell you, from the moment you walk in, it's wall to wall titties. which normally, is awesome. we sat at the bar because we didn't really want to seem like we wanted to spend the money for a lap dance or anything. We grabbed a couple beers and just kinda took it all in for what it was. in all honestly, i had never felt more sleezy in my entire life. i looked at all the other guys around me who seemed to be numb to the whole experiencee and enjoyed them selfs. however, i couldn'g get over the overwhelming awkwardness that surrounded the whole situation.
It came to it's climax when one of the ladies had sat next to me at the bar on what seemed like her break to have a smoke. she told me she was about to preform on the main stage. so, to seem nice i continuted the conversation. she was an a very attractive young girl. i won't devulge her name just for priviacy sakes, which im sure probably wasn't her real name anyways. we talked about music, the music she liked to dance to, alcohol, work and other things. i commented on one of her percings, which looked great on her, which only led to the story of how her daughter always likes to pull on it which may be stretching it out.
that was kinda the final blow for me. she stood up to walk back stage and i wished her good luck. i finished my beer and ordered another as she was introduced to the stage. I drank my beer quickly as she did her act hardly removing my eyes from the stage. Here's where it gets tricky.
I didn't stare at her in the way all the other guys there did. I kind of watched as i thought to myself, "you have a child, who needs a rolemodel. this is how you pay the bills? you don't seem like a bad person at all, infact you're quite charming. why do you do this to yourself. the money really can't be that good to have shitty douchebags throw dollar bills at you when you shake your ass. you're telling me that feels rewarding? you deserve better. all of you girls deserve better."
i sat for an hour watching these girls take their clothes off for money from assholes who don't even see them as people. just more masturebate meterial when they get home. and it made me sad. it made me extremely sad. it also made me realize that this kind of behavior sets womens rights back at least 30 years.
there is no reason any girl should have to do that. it makes me ashamed to be a man after seeing that. let's face it. i'm a lonely guy. i would kill to fall in love. but that, that is just upsetting. maybe i'm looking at this in a completely wrong way. i mean yes, it is their choice to do what they do. but, i honestly can't see why they don't try to do something else. we could live without strip clubs.
the way i see it, we're perpetuating a sexual agenda that is fueled by greed and money. some dickhead sits down and thinks "shit let me find some girls that are hard up, make them take thier clothes off and make bank off it"
BOYS, we need to find a new way of being men. this shit isn't cutting it. after seeing what i saw, it's like we're killing love it's self with sex, when the two should have gone hand in hand with each other to begin with. when girls feel like they have to strip or fuck to make rent, it's only making it hard on them, becuase there are assholes out there who don't get it. they don't understand that this makes woman's sturggle harder. this is why there is so much sexual aggression twoards women, and not in the good way. by going to these clubs where only making the problems worse.
basiclly what im trying to say is that, i understand a lot more now. and i hate what society has done to these girls. i want to make it better for the next generation of girls and boys. this doesn't have to continue.
maybe i'm weird, or maybe i just don't get it. but thats the thought that i walked away with when i left the strip club. complete and utter sadness.
my spelling sucks |

shit moves really fast around me. which makes it really hard for me to stay connected. i was doing better for myself this time last year. i should be more concerned with that than i am. i spend to much time in the same places, which may be the cause of this. i'm finding it harder to make conversation with people, not that i don't have the opportunity, i just don't know what to say. that goes for everyone. i'm not trying to be rude, or awkward, or a smart ass, or arrogant. i'm just slowly forgetting how to be productively social. |

i came across this on a music blog i check quite often. when i read this i couldn't believe this. if you know someone in chicago, make them aware.
Posted on 10 May 2008 | 4 Comments
PLEASE STOP TO READ THIS
Next Wednesday, the Chicago City Council with vote to approve an ordinance that will (if passed) severely and irreparably damage Chicago’s culturally diverse and unparalleled music scene. Image a Chicago without music at Double Door, Schuba’s, Metro or any other small venue. It’s a scary (but very real) possibility with the the proposal already approved by the City Council Committee and on the fast track to be pushed into law.
“So what is detailed in the proposed ordinance,” you ask. Well, in short, the “Event Promoters” ordinance requires any event promoter (DIY or otherwise) to have a license from the city of Chicago and liability insurance of $300,000, but that’s just the beginning:
# The definition of “event promoter” is so loosely defined it could apply to a band that books its own shows or a teenage kid trying to get his favorite band into town.
# The “event promoter” must be licensed and will pay $500 – $2000 depending on expected audience size.
# To get the license, applicant must be over 21, get fingerprinted, submit to a background check, and jump over several other hurdles.
# This proposed ordinance seems targeted towards smaller venues, since those with 500+ permanent seats are exempt.
# Police must be notified at least 7 days in advance of event.
For the more details and the complete ordinance, check out Chicago music critic Jim DeRogatis’ blog here.
I can only assume that this proposed ordinance stems from the E2 nightclub disaster some five years ago and is the City’s overdone attempt at policing small clubs and venues. Problem is that it would ruin the diverse and thriving musical and cultural landscape here in Chicago. Independent promoters are the lifeblood for getting bands into smaller venues like Uncommon Ground, Beat Kitchen, and The Empty Bottle and (without a doubt) many small promoters that book those venues would no longer be able to afford to book shows anymore. And then what? Would the music disappear?
It is a bunch of bullshit. As someone who has been going to “DIY” shows in Chicago for going on 15 years, all I can say to the Chicago City Council is, “Don’t do it!” I’ve played on stages at places like The Fireside Bowl and Metro and have attended thousands of shows at dozens of venues here in Chicago and don’t see the point of all this. I just don’t.

honestly, how the hell can they say they're gonna stop making polaroids next year. that's like saying they're gonna stop making paper. polaroids have been cool for like 30 years...what the hell.

ok. it's 4:17 am on december 31st 2007. in less than 24 hours we'll be staring 2008 right in the fucking face.
so, needless to say...this entry is gonna be a long one. if you don't want to read this, or if it takes up space on your friends page, just skip it, i don't really give a fuck. i come across bitter and maybe i am. i don't really think i am but who knows.
for the past two weeks i really havn't done shit but drink and watch movies. the following is a list of the movies i've watched in the past 2 weeks:
I Am Ledgend - 4 out of 5 stars
TMNT
Thank You For Smoking - pretty good
Walk the Line
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Alvin and the Chipmunks - weird
Futureama: Bender's Big Score
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
Ocean's 11
Ocean's 13 - fucking rad
The Number 23
The Illusionist
The Darjeeling Limited
Superbad - 5 out of 5 stars
Superman: Doomsday
Once
Wristcutters: A love story - BEAUTIFUL
30 Days of Night
Fred Claus
The Break-Up
Avoid the last two at all cost. i will say this has consumed alot of my time here at the end of the year. i've been really unproductive lately, as you can probably tell because the last time i REALLY did an entry was about 6 months ago. Sorry Tarik, i guess i didn't keep up on that dollar thing. either way.
As far as Music goes the only record i can think of that has really stood out to me this year (and correct me if i am wrong) but it from The Gaslight Anthem "Sink or Swim". I encourage everyone to check it out....and come to Social Life's show tomorrow at nate's place. we go on at 8. you don't have to stay the whole time, but it would be nice.
So, I got fired from Alltel back in november for telling the warehouse manager to "fucking eat me". i've been unemployed ever since. it's not that i havn't been looking for a job but it seems like by the time i got fired everywhere had already filled up for the holidays. I hate christmas in the first place, and this year, it's cause really wasn't any more-so justified for me. no = no gifts from me to my family and friend's. Sorry guys but i did the best i can.
Oh, Also as a result to that, i have moved out of the apartment on Warren st. i still have some shit there for now, but no one lives there anymore, except Leonard (the rat). we hadn't had power in like 2 months and it was just getting terrible. mostly my fault on the finical stress part so i don't blame everyone for getting the fuck out of there. about a week after i left someone broke in and completely trashed the living room breaking everything they could really, including walls and windows and tv stands and guitar hero controllers. the landlord doesn't know yet, but i'll be in another state by the time he evicts us for good this time. so i guess that brings me to where i live now. I'm TEMPORARLY staying with my parents in martinsville until i can get my shit together. i'm a mess and everyone knows it, but at least now, i'm trying to fix it.
about a month ago my mom tell's me she's on zoloft or some shit like that because of me. i don't she said it to hurt me, i think she want's me to see someone again too. i saw someone a few times earlier this year and the dude thinks i'm showing traits of bipolar or some bullshit. i don't beleive him 80% of the time. oh and my dad has some sort of respatory defencacy as of this month and is on predazone for the rest of his life so he can breath. the bad part is the doctor said he got it from his dad. in other words, it's in the genes.
Social Life is good though, we're still recording our demo..almost done. it's sounding pretty good and we've got high hopes for the future. i can't really say to much about it right now, but i'm excited. we also got some new songs so make sure you do come out tonight...if you can.
there is nothing to report in the romance portion of my life. i'm still not sure if it's a good thing. it's taken me almost an hour to type all of this. so yeah. all in all i'll say that 2007 was def. better than 2006. i mean, that year was just shit. but, theres still alot to improve on in 2008. 2007 had it's ups and downs there were times i wouldn't trade for the world and times that all the whiskey in the world couldn't wash away. but that's why we make resalutions. we think about the shitty stuff that's happened and we say "FUCK THAT! let's get better at dating girls, or driving cars, or jenga." and we look at the good times and say "holy shit let's do that again, and yes i still call squirell on the girl at the bar, and yes i want to play a show there again and holy crap i couldn't have better friends if they were robots!". So tonight we'll all make resalutions like maybe a couple of inches of my waist line. or this is the last year i kiss a really nice bottle of scotch at midnight. I'm not sure were i'll be when the clock strikes twelve tonight, but regaurdless of what's happened this past year or how screwed up i think my life is. or how i'm gonna change it, when that clock does hit mid night and the band plays that new years song i want a cold drink, my best friends and a pretty girl that might just pull me out of my slump. hey we can all dream right? |
