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!

I had someone come into the store the other day. She was a very pretty girl around my age, dressed in fun bright colors. She seemed to be pretty cool. She was looking for a little bit of every thing. Living room set, dining room set, bedroom set; basically looking to refurnish her whole apartment/house. She wandered around the store for about a half hour.

Our conversation started with, “I’m looking for a black leather recliner.” And ended with, “My fiancé. I caught him cheatin’. He’s gon buy me a new living room set, dining room set, and a bedroom set.”

To which I responded with an odd response, “Okay. Okay.” Affirming that yes you have been cheated on and now your prize will be a bedroom set, living room set, and a dining room set. Congratulations. What the fuck?

How can you even stay with a man after he’s done that to you? Seriously! I’ve never understood this as far back as the Clinton scandal. Don’t get me wrong I love Bill Clinton, but I don’t approve of him hurting Hilary the way he did.

Anyways back to my poor customer. Girl what makes you think that new furniture is going to make things better between you and your fiancé? First off, after you catch a man cheating on you this is a very traumatic experience. It has no doubt left you with a slew of emotions and new found trust issues. He has damaged the trust in this relationship and also belittled you in the most cruel way. In blunt English, somebody else’s pussy is better than yours. That’s just fucking devious. Don’t stay with him. Unless you are more devious than he is…

Watch my imagination spiral. So the motha fucka has cheated on you? Good! Try this, maybe this is what my girl is up to. So you get that man back, get him to buy you all the furniture you want. Then make sure he gives you cash and you put everything in your name. Next get your furniture all set up in your house. Set the table, dinner for two, and get the man all comfortable and cozy. Make the best dessert he’s ever had. Let him spoon with you on the sofa after dinner. Get him all excited and bring things back to the bedroom where you, pardon my french, fuck his brains out.

After the greatest sex of his life and a good night’s rest this is when you let the demons out. You of course wait until he leaves for work. You’ll have already prearranged one of the following:

1. A moving truck service where you have all your furniture packed up and ready to be moved to an apartment/storage unit. Stay with a friend or family member.

2. Change the locks. And drop off his belongings at the nearest dumpster or just throw them out the window for a more dramatic flair.

3. Combine one and two with the added suggestions. Change your number that day. And then move across country and he’ll never find you again!

Maybe I have wronged this girl too much. Perhaps she is more like me than I thought, maybe she figures the son-of-a-bitch owes her that much. However with me I wouldn’t go this dramatic. I’d kick his ass out because I’d be way to hurt to stoop as low as him. I don’t condone cheating because that old saying, “once a cheat, always a cheat” is damn true.

Either way I’d leave his ass! I wouldn’t waste my time getting hurt over and over. What’s the point of getting back together for the millionth time? No, seriously? Tell me what it is about this person, that you like so much that you are willing to wait a month or two for him to do it again. This just isn’t about cheating this goes across the board to all people. It super sucks to be alone, and maybe I’m not allowed to voice an opinion because I’m in a healthy relationship, but why do you wanna keep hurting yourself?

There is a lot of love out there and you don’t have to settle for second or third place. Hold out and you’ll find it when you don’t want it. That’s how it works!

“Take a bow, the night is over. This masquerade is getting older.”

On a lighter note I have discovered some great music look at this playlist if you wanna mimic the coolness of my mix:

This mix is just super amazing. Suggestions use for strutting your shit in the gym or walking. And totally okay to play at work because there are no American swear words! If I had to pick the key tracks that shape the feeling of this mix they would have to be: À cause des garçons,Fragile, and of course Sour Cherry!

Oh yeah buy my t-shirts! J17 PRODUCTIONS
