My last blog was on December 1, 2011. I’m sure the masses are complaining, “Why hasn’t Joey written anything?!” Ha ha. Fear not I have returned and blogs shall also return.

I have something called the January Blues. I’m not sure if this is a real thing, but once a year I go through it. Honestly, I get completely depressed and it’s nothing that medication will resolve, just a rut that I go through. It’s funny but in years passed, if I look back, my creativity always comes to a halt. I tend to waste most of my January reflecting and not a lot of time creating. It’s the month where I look at what I’ve done and realize I’m a year older and haven’t accomplished all I wanted to in the year before.

Now the January Blues isn’t a depression over age thing, just a depression over feeling unaccomplished. Once I take the time and look back at all the things I did the year before, I think that’s pretty good, but I can do better this year. With that being said, I think December should be cancelled altogether. Christmas makes me spend too much money and wastes a lot of my energy. I think this year I’d prefer no presents, just time spent together, and a dinner of some sort. And what a perfect segue into New Year’s Resolutions!

I don’t think one should have New Year’s Resolutions, so let’s just call them resolutions. I think you should have a long list of resolutions because some of them will be broken. One thing I’m rather proud of from last year’s list is that I haven’t had a Pepsi (my choice drug) in a year. Here’s my list:

-Lose 30 lbs.
-Stop drinking all soda includes orange and ginger ale
-Exercise 2 times a week
-Make videos every week
-Get 100 more subscribers on YouTube
-Make 2 music videos
-Finish The Shanikwa Shanikwa Movie
-Complete the silhouette silkscreens
-Have a small art gallery showing
-When I scrawl essays onto paper, type them and share them on the blog!
-Keep drinking green tea
-Enter your documentary into the YouTube contest
-Learn to bake my own bread and do it well
-Earn $100 in monetization from Google Adsense (if only, ha ha)
-Make more tutorial videos
-make short films
-start writing more
-Complain less

Happy New Year and I’ll see you again really soon.

In the midst of many projects, but I have returned to you, well seasoned in traveling abroad. London was a phenomenal place to be and live, hopefully I will get to visit again! I have been recuperating from a cold, a healing tattoo touch up, and a really fun weekend. I am ready to get back to work and stay focused on my projects.

MUSIC:

The other day, I composed a little piece of music and I found it to be pretty exciting. I’m not sure what my musical journey is yet, but a song, is certainly on it’s way this year. So far I’ve got a lot of music sitting around on a hard drive and several back up discs, waiting for the light of day. Lyrically, I have to make sure it flows as smooth as the music and because of this there are several drafts. I’m getting closer but sometimes I just get afraid of pushing myself and I know I have to let it go and jump in.

FILM

I’ve always got something up my sleeve when it comes to short films and films. I get in these little bubbles of creativity and all of a sudden I’m on a roll. What happens later on? I get in these little ruts and then, as all bubbles do, gravity catches up with the ground, and… POP! Down with the creativity and enter another unfinished project on some random folder,in my computer, tape, on my camera, or scrap piece of paper.

These ideas really sit around and fester and I’m not sure why I don’t let them see the light. New policy: follow through and let the film see the light. I’m not holding back for fear of criticism, just waiting for who the hell knows what. I think I need to just be more organized in my disorganization. Let the mind run like a mind, but run the outsource of the creation like a library. Maybe even making a creation calendar would help. Anyways, I have to get organized.

ART

If a small gallery of my artwork to consist of one finished piece, then I’m ready to go. I’ve accomplished a small version of which became the inspiration piece and then two large pieces, but it’s not quite done. I’m working on this silhouette silk screening project and so far I’ve got two pieces done. One piece needs to be stretched onto canvas.

The bigger part of the project is to turn the silhouette into a pattern and place it on canvas. I’m going to spend some time making a second silk screen stencil with a repeated pattern. Once I’ve made the second screen it won’t be very long before the canvases start piling up. I haven’t decided how many to make of the larger and how many to make of the pattern, but I’ve got the color palette down. As simple as the silhouettes are, the statement, is to provoke conversation about what is equality.

I’ve been thinking about making t-shirts with the same stencils and maybe give away a few of the shirts at the gallery. Any way to promote my show or our show, still thinking about getting some other artists together, or expanding it larger. We’ll just have to wait and see.

——- ——- —— ————

Have no fear, I have returned to create.

Thanks for reading.

FlotsamX(angry 12 year old): Lol, he put this video on viewtubetrain to promote his shitty singing because no one would google him.

j17productions(me): I got featured on there because I worked hard and to date have only gotten 2,000 views. 2: It looks like I’m not the only one who uses viewtubetrain, so it takes one to know one. 3: Google me and you’ll see who comes up on the top of the first page.(Must have worked somehow.)You must feel pretty great living your life anonymously on YouTube talking big shit, but who the fuck are you? I’m not afraid of who I am and I’m proud of my shitty singing. Thanks for your touching comments!
——-
I’m fully aware that Google Me is not a great song. I was fully aware when I created it and the truth is so many people just don’t get it. We as a society think we need to “get it” in order to like something or hate something. Rebecca Black’s song, Friday, is not a great song but we love to judge and we love how ridiculous it is. When you make a bad song on purpose it is a hit or miss. I just wanted to make fun of pop culture, our society, and of my own obsession with vanity and fame. A lot of my friends might think Google Me should be taken very seriously, sorry it’s just a joke. You are allowed to laugh and if you don’t find it funny that’s okay! I think I’m over rejection by now and I don’t mind standing on my own defending my silly song and mediocre singing.

As far as promoting videos if you use viewtubetrain.com enough you get featured and I’m not going to hide and say I don’t find free ways to promote my video. If you are whoring yourself on YouTube chances are you are gonna have to find ways, outside of YouTube, to promote your video. Each YouTube user has to compete with 35 hours of video that is uploaded every minute! That’s just a simple fact, so yes, you gotta share your video with everyone and yes, you gotta play the game. You also have to admit the fact that a small percentage of people will actually like your video, the more neanderthal the video is, the more the general public likes your video. So support my video of don’t, I don’t have time to sit here and convince a bunch of people to like my videos.

Thanks to those of you who have been supportive of my work.

Isn’t that the most negative thing you’ve ever heard? Well you cannot let it get in the way of what you do with your life and I will not let the negativity of social media get in my way ever again! So what! Just rebuke those negative thoughts and say, “This is what I’m gonna do and if it’s too much for you, so what!”

Officially, I am letting go of the things that have held me down or made me fear myself or my own success. I, myself have found that I can be so negative and it is annoying. I’m letting go! Goodbye negativity because I rebuke you and all that you’ve done to me in my life. Will there still be angry people? Will there still be bloggers/commentators who hate my work? Will they try to knock you down? The answer is yes to all, but it doesn’t matter! Let it go!

I’m moving forward and letting everything go. Every little grudge. Over it.

“Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, “So what.” That’s one of my favorite things to say. “So what.” -Andy Warhol

-Written, Produced, and Performed by Joey Broyles-

My name is Joey Broyles, but they call me J.Bro

Cause I’m tired of this cheese, but I’m not gonna sit n’ pout

Bridge:
Hey people, hey people
Help a homo out

J-O-E-Y B-R-O-Y-L-E-S

Look at me prettier than Perez Hilton in a club
I’m a homo with the skills and I don’t give a fuck
I just wanna entertain you, make you see my ass
I dress like a girl, but I got balls to make you laugh
Yeah I drop the names, cause pop culture is my jam
Hollywood call me now, cause these kids don’t understand

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

Google Me
Google Me

Take some time, Google me (3x)
