Joey Broyles: MAKE ME FAMOUS

To watch this video on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/v/qhvECkY0zIE&hl=en_US&fs=1&

So I’m totally in love with these outfits I just created on Photoshop. Obviously the T-shirts are designed by me and are available on my store, but the whole outfits are amazing. In fact these would be my fashion recommendations for all boys! Please disregard that these beautiful models do not have arms nor heads, lol.

This first outfit is obviously my personal style personified! POP STAR.In my heart I am a Pop Star and I always have loved this style. Something great to wear when you go out or to shoot a music video in. Wink! I was amazed to find these jeans online, because they look just like my old ones! Advice: Never throw away your bleach jeans, ever! I think I’ll make a new pair.

The Casual Defiance Style. Looks like you are just in an every day outfit but, then of course, you have your thought provoking t-shirt on. Below The Influence. Honestly I designed this t-shirt specifically for those damn commercials, “ABOVE THE INFLUENCE.” Those commercials annoy the hell out of me. First off the commercial categorizes drug addicts as minorities, and then it has the audacity to brainwash you as well. I’m not a drug user, smoker, or drinker but give me a fucking break. I’m Below The Influence, not above, I support my druggies and Abby Normals.

And lastly Vintage Chic Style. The Alphabet Pony T-shirt may be a new design, but the whole feel of the outfit is definitely vintage. Skater like shoes, baggy jeans, and a charcoal t-shirt with a design that resembles vintage company logos. And it’s of course it’s chic because I designed it!

In other news look at Britney Spears’ shoes:

Aren’t they amazing? Yes!

Well my shows are all coming to an end this week and next… Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Gossip Girl, and 90210. When the shows are over, it’s time for summer! Yay!

Today I also worked on a top secret project which only a few people have known about. It’s a special song that I plan to do the triple threat with: song on iTunes, video on YouTube, and if you’re lucky, REMIX! All I will tell you is that I have made lots of progress with this song today. I’ve got the vocal tracks all layed out, as well as the basic melody, and even a beat! I have my new iDrum program to thank for that. Seriously beats come easier when I can just create patterns with a program. I admit that beats are my weakness, but I will no doubt continue to work on them. Oh one more thing the song is called IF U LUV ME. That’s all I’m giving. Those of you on the inside with recording experience may see my songs before others, but it’s cause I’ll need input!

Above is that video that Jamie and I worked on very hard so you better watch! It was a lot of fun to make and things are a lot more interesting when someone else is behind that camera, aside from the tripod.

So the past few days I’ve been creating a more professional look for my website and I think I’m finally content with it. I wouldn’t leave my computer for hours at a time and I felt very much like a zombie. Oh well, I survived. Take a look:

So today was a rather fun day. I drove downtown to see my gurrl Krystal. She is a good old pal from the high school days and I think she’s the shit. She is a really good person, yet she’s got a wild side, and if you don’t have a wild side, get one. Cause you can’t compete with this gurrl right herre! LOL. No, she really is great.

Before I had lunch with Krystal, I went to visit Lnz at her lovely job. I was looking for some new hair product and shizz. I was glad she didn’t have a client, because as my hair grows longer, I need to learn how to style it. So I had her show me how to flat iron my hair the correct way. You see when I flat iron my hair, it does just that, it goes flat. You notice they don’t call it a straight iron.

It’s amazing the tricks a hair stylist can teach you. So if you want your hair to be more voluminous then here’s what you do:

First flat iron your hair the opposite way that it usually lays. For instance a majority of my hair lays to my left, so I flat iron towards the right and sort of flick my wrist. And there’s a little volume. To really encourage volume I do recommend the following products. First for frizzy hair may I suggest some sort of skinny serum that will defrizz that shit we call hair.

After you got that out of the way, let me tell you about this awesome product! It’s called Pure Abundance Hair Potion by Aveda. So it’s super cool, it’s a thickening agent and it never gets sticky. The cool things about it. At first it is a powder of some sorts. But when it contacts your skin it becomes some sort of lotion. So from potion powder to lotion! Super awesome. Love it. It gives you that second day look for your hair. Yay for grungy-dingy basement hair, lol. Voluminous or Volumness!

So after my fun downtown, with Lnz and Krystal, it was back to home. Where I ignored the apartment that desperately needs to be cleaned for Friday’s Twilight Movie Night! Instead of cleaning, I played with Skittles for a while. We call it laser kitty. Then I went to my computer with intentions to edit Shanikwa or edit my gallery page for my website. Instead I worked on an old melody that I made up in high school.

Originally the song was about how I was sorry for my father, not being able to save him from the stupid court systems. But I thought to myself that shit is so old. Those emotions are pretty much retired. My father and I are very close, once again, so it just wasn’t the same. Instead I wrote about a breakup of sorts, putting my two cents in on my own past pains. I came up with some awesome shit. Here’s a little part of it:
Sorry by Joey Broyles ©2009
It’s in it’s real rough form right now. I’m experimenting with lots of sounds, but the lyrics came pretty easy and I’m glad about that. I’ve had a really hard time composing songs. I can write lyrics till my fingers bleed. I can come up with some really awesome music, but I can never fuse the two together. Everything about this song fuses and I’m really excited about it. Yay!

Now this evening was an amazing night filled with 90210! Seriously I’m glad I stuck with that show because the actors and the writers have found their niche. And it’s really good. It brings back memories of the first 90210. Back when I was eight years old, back in the day. Silver is a crazy bitch, but it’s okay, because she’s bipolar now. WTF! Um I know bipolar and that was way out there. Trust me on this, trust me! But Silver is still one of my favorites fo sure!

You know what really grinds my gears? Anorexic squirrels. They look for nuts, see the nuts, touch the nuts, but they don’t eat the nuts. This reminds me of people who sit outside your place of business before you open. Some people say this is a good sign of business. I say it looks like signs of desperation.

“Oh no! They don’t open until 10:00, it’s only 9:30. Well I’ve got that novel in my glove compartment. I’ve always wanted to read a novel,” they begin to read while they wait for me to open. Seriously!

So you figure open a few minutes early, and then you do. But then they wait until it turns 10:00, so they don’t look desperate. Hello, it’s a little late for that sweetheart. You’ve been sitting in the parking lot staring, waiting for me to open. We know why you are here. What jerks! I have taken a few extra personal minutes to let them in. And then they deny me. That’s just plain rude and mean.

On the other hand, if they do accept your invitation, they flock like vultures to the front door for an early edition of shop til you drop. Then guaranteed 95% of the time they come inside and say, “We’re just looking.” Like they weren’t that interested at all to come in and shop. They tour your store from 9:56 to 9:57. You check in with them and they still have no questions. The clock turns 9:58 and out the door they go. Just like a bunch of anorexic squirrels, they looked for furniture, saw the furniture, touched the furniture, but they did not buy the furniture.

Today I briefly saw Lnz for a touch-up. You can schedule these in between hair cuts. They take less than ten minutes and she just trims that unruly neck hair, side burns, and bangs. And it’s free! I like that. Nothing like upkeep mixed with the word free.

After that I returned home for cookies and a Pepsi. I played with Skittles for a while and then my Dad and Step-Mother came over to visit. So Linda, my step-mother, brought over the finished scrapbook. It’s really cute and I love it. We haven’t always got along but I think that’s really sweet of her to put all that time and effort into things. Thanks Linda! After I looked at the scrapbook they pretty much left.

Now on to my eye appointment. So I hate going to see any doctor because I do not have health insurance, so I hate paying for shit like that. But I need to see. I arrived at the East Side Wal-Mart Eye Mart and sat around for awhile.

They asked me, “Are you hear for an appointment?”
“Yeah I’m hear to get a new prescription for contacts.”
“Is it a follow up?”
“Yeah I’m hear to get a new prescription for contacts. I don’t need a new prescription for my glasses, just my contacts.”
“Oh you need to fill this out,” she said as she handed me the form.
“I have already been here. Do I still have to fill one out?”
“Oh you have already been here? Oh then yeah you don’t need to fill this out.”

Five minutes passes. Another Wal-Mart Eye Mart lady comes up to me.

“Have you been helped?” she asked.
“Yeah. I’m hear for a new prescription for contacts.”
“Okay so you’ll need to fill out these forms. You are here to get a new prescription for contacts, right?”
“Yes.”
“Okay we’ll need you to fill this out so we can do your check up.”
“Oh I’ve been here before.”
“Oh are you here for a follow up or do you need to renew your prescription?”
“No I’m not here for a follow up. So I have to fill these out?”

I’m completely annoyed by this point. Don’t you guys keep records of this shit. Why do I have to fill this out again. I’m so confused because the other lady said that I didn’t need to fill out these forms. So I begin to fill out the damn forms.

I look up at the other lady and ask from across the room. “So I have to fill out my address and everything. Even though I’ve been here before?”

“Yeah. Sometimes peoples addresses change. So we need to make sure our system is up to date.”

But your system is up to date because the lady I schedule the appointment with last Thursday verified all this information. Whatever fine. I started to fill it out as the other lady shouted to me.

“Or you can write same in the places you know is the same as before.”

So I wrote my address out and then started writing same everywhere because I had already filled this out once and it’s ridiculous that they don’t have this information. Later I found out they had just ‘updated’ their system. So maybe they lost all that damn information. Whatever. Thank you for completely annoying me.

Then I went through the rigorous act of being interrogated by my Doctor. Now keep in mind this guy is nice. But I guess what makes me uncomfortable is the amount of silence between us. He does his job and I have to sit there quiet while he investigates how bad my vision has become. And thus it begins.

“Is one better than two? Two better than one? Or about the same?”

This goes on and on. Especially the more blind I become. Laser corrective eye surgery sounds awesome other than I don’t like the idea of being awake for it! Anyways I can now buy contacts for like two years, before I have to see the doctor again!

When I got home I watched 90210 at it’s new time. It totally started off hot with The Kills singing Cheap And Cheerful and my favorite character Naomi being thrown up against her locker by a hot boy. HOT! And it ended with a bang because Silver has gone, FUCKING CRAZY! C’est la vie!

I’ve had and have many guilty pleasures, aside from Girl Scout cookies. Trashy prime time television has been my favorite since Melrose Place. “Mondays are a bitch!” I was no older than eight years old when I started watching these kinds of shows. I went from The Smurfs to Melrose Place. I can remember when Jane (Josie Bissett) and her sister Sydney(Laura Leighton) got into that fight. Sydney was in Jane’s wedding dress and Sydney said, “Let me go or I swear to god I’ll break your arm.” and in the pool they fell. I don’t know when the expression OMFG was invented but for me it was at that moment. I’m in love with gossip, teen angst, and a good bitch fight. What else does life have to offer?

Since the rebooting of 90210, I have hoped and prayed that the remake of Melrose Place was around the corner and it so is! I just read this amazing story about Ashlee Simpson joining the cast of the new Melrose Place.

I fucking love it and the description of her character as follows: :”Violet Foster, a Spokane, Wash., gal who hops on the bus to Los Angeles the day after she graduated. Violet is described as having a sex appeal she’s not afraid to use to her advantage and a seeming small-town naiveté that masks her shrewd, plotting nature.” I hope she’s a slut, I really do. Now I do mean that in the nicest possible way. She’ll be wonderful and maybe she’ll put another CD out soon, I hope!

You better believe that I’m an Ashlee Simpson fan. I’ve been one since her reality show and I’ve bought every cd she’s recorded, on the release date.

I hope this new Melrose Place soars and gives me a bunch of those dirty camera angles of clothes falling to the ground, ie sex! And there better be a gay boy on this show, for real! For me the character Matt(Doug Savant) was the first gay person I knew of and I always thought, secretly, that he was beautiful.

Last night I watched three episodes of the new 90210 so that I could catch up. That show has gotten really juicy, aside from Annie’s lame parents. Seriously! Any of you out there ever recall both of your parents coming into your room all lovey-dovey to see what you were doing? Maybe when you were like what, an infant, not when you are a teenager. It’s so fake and maybe this really does happen, and I’m just out of the loop because I grew up in the land of dysfunctional. Any way anytime they have a scene I want to either skip to the next scene or yell at the screen. Now of course Annie was never my favorite character until last night! She’s getting bad and that’s great!

But I do have a confession that my straight crush award goes to Anna Lynn McCord. She’s just a knock-out! And plays the best bitch, the one you love to hate, and I love a real bitch!

In other news where the hell is Gossip Girl, now that’s my favorite show. The idea of a bunch of Upper East Side New York kids and all their money, fashion, and problems. Delicious and something to envy or even die for. Now with this show I really don’t have any pet peeves other than I wish it was not on rerun right now.

This show has style, class, grace and a very improved talent. The character I might identify most with is probably Dan, but we all know I’d rather be Chuck Bass(Ed Westwick), or just sleep with him. Simply put, I really wish there was a Gossip Girl who existed during my time at Sun Prairie High, it would’ve made life that much more fun!

Well I made my own Gossip Girl site but it’s really just poking fun at my friends. Trust me I’d love to have my site anonymous and waste my days texting and blogging about current high schoolers for sport! But alas, I am not one who likes being arrested or sued for slander. Below is a screen shot of my site!

Yes the expression has been used many a time, Joey “you have too much time on your hands.” Well friends, there is never enough time to do whatever you set your mind to. If I want to bleach a couple pair of jeans, design a website, or make a YouTube video then I’ll do just that. Keep in mind I have to two full days off a week, so that’s all I’ll ever need. Two days!

That’s right you…BITCH!
