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!

So let’s get right to it with what has been bothering me all day. It’s not that my Twilight DVD has arrived. It’s not that my favorite show Gossip Girl is sitting in my external hard drive waiting to be watched. It’s what I did at work today.

I cleaned a two rather large used metal desks. You know the ones that our elementary teachers use to have. The industrial wood laminate and metal desks. I confess that when we buy used desks we have found all sorts of treasures. Sometimes personal artifacts, sometimes a dime here or there, but mostly we find rubber bands, paper clips, and hanging files. But today I found something completely different, let’s take a look shall we:

I’m baffled because I have no idea what the fuck this is! Please tell me what it is because this desk shits rainbow colored shit. Did someone have one of those ice cream pushups? And was there some sort of no eating policy? Perhaps instead of getting caught, they stuck in the back, before their office door was opened by their boss. That’s one guess. But I cleaned this desk out so i’m not so sure.

The texture was sticky, so I decided, to wear some sexy purple latex gloves. F.Y.I. protection is best in these situations. I used lots of Windex to see if it would dissolve and it didn’t. So I used the metal scraper/razor blade thing to scrape it out. It’s bottom was as smooth as a circus peanut and was also as light in weight. Clearly it is some sort of candy that I’m unfamiliar with that must have melted there.

Now, if you notice, the after picture shows a whole mess of things that have stuck to this mass of rainbow shit. Like a screw, several rubber bands, an invoice of some sort. But I’m not going to dissect it to make sure. Besides I am not a qualified scientist in taffy. Perhaps that’s what it is. No I’m sure now that it’s that taffy candy that you get around Halloween. It’s wrapped in that clear wax paper and inside are those rainbow colored taffies. There you go! That’s my conclusion!

Tomorrow looks to be exciting! My friend Jamie and I are going to be making an interesting collaboration with my character Shanikwa Jones. She is to pay me in mascara, since Shanikwa has none and she said she needed some! I will not buy mascara for myself because it costs way too much fucking money if you ask me. Anyways that’s the deal, so Jamie give Shanikwa some mascara.

Anyways, Jamie is going to be a professional photographer. So hire her! But she’s taking some classes right now in the video world. Yay for her and definitely, yay, for me! So Shanikwa Jones will have an instructional video out pretty soon about: “How To Communicate, Successfully in a Relationship!” Hopefully I can pull it off, but I know we’ll be fine. Magic happens when you hit record!

In other news I’m working on a concept for a podcast/videocast! It’s totally going to be about pop culture, “real” life, and whatever else I wanna talk about! It will be called The Real Joey which will parallel with my high school obsession with documenting myself. Don’t worry it’ll be on YouTube soon enough!

Stay Tuned Bitches!
