The Joey Factory

I’m coming down with some sort of cold and I feel really miserable. So I will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day wearing my Disney’s Big Bad Wolf Shirt and my green boxers. I found a cute graphic I made a while back for UW-Whitewater’s Royal Purple. Check it out!

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 started the day at Cameo Day Spa & Salon where one of my best friend’s Lindsey(LNZ, as I will forever refer to her as) works. She styles or cuts my hair, whatever it is. We’ve been working on my look for awhile I’m trying to accomplish Chace Crawford‘s hair style(GOSSIP GIRL). I still have a long way to go, but I’ve got more hair now than I did last year. I’ll put a picture up and show you the status of my hair. I do love photo shoots with lots of eyeliner and a new t-shirt.

Downtown Madison is as close as to Chicago as we can get without going there. Madison has State Street and well you know what Chicago has. We went to a restaurant, that my friend Krystal G. and I had tried last week, Cosi. Pretty damn yummy stuff. Flat bread is delicious! She bought lunch because her boy toy owed her big time for never-you-mind! Then we had to part ways, it’s so sad when she has to go back to work. I guess it’s weird to have Tuesdays and Thursdays off, but that’s how it works in my job. Lnz and I use to have the same day off Tuesdays, so we’re always sad when she has to go to work.

Then I drove home to pet my cat and grab my phone, which I left in my bedroom. I always forget something when I’m in a hurry but usually it’s like a charger for the computer or phone, not my actual cell phone. Speaking of cell phones, I’ve been obsessing over the iPhone since it’s first generation release and all I want is that damn thing but I never can swing the price. I would definitely stop eating for a whole month for that thing! Someday I’ll get it. But now I hear there is another one coming out, possibly 32GB version with a 24 hour battery life. I think I can wait for that one and maybe by then AT&T will figure out their 3G Network issues. Anyway I need one.

Yes I’m completely aware of how materialistic I am! So fuck off to those of you who think we should be feeding all these people in other countries with our low income paychecks. How about you bitches who tell me I should go help the children in foreign countries realize: that us middle class people are having a hard time, just as others. If you’ve got the money go and pay for a whole meal for a starving child in (insert your poor country of the week here). Note I do not own the iPhone, so you can’t tell me I need to feed another hungry person. If I were rich and famous I’d have my own charities and make sure that a true 80% of all donations go to these children and their families personally.

I had to get that off my chest because one time some random asshole stumbled across one of my old blogs and chastised me for being a spoiled little American. Sorry you must have me confused with someone else because I have not been spoiled. You want spoiled look at the Hollywood children!

Now back to my day. I continued on to Star Cinema: IMAX where I picked up my WATCHMEN IMAX tickets. Very excited to see this movie, it looks fantastic! I really enjoy the glowing blue man and that girl who stands next to him at the climax of the trailer. Danny and I are going to the movie with our friends Monica, Cedric, Lnz, and Mario, so we’ll definitely have an amazing time!!! I have to preorder tickets when it comes to opening weekend because if I don’t there’s always that chance that the 10:20 PM showing on Saturday would be SOLD OUT! And as we all know that sucks so bad.

Onto Target! I have a super Target near my house and I love shopping there because it’s an upper class version of Wal-Mart. Don’t worry I’m a bastard and I’m also addicted to Wal-Mart too. So I walked in and went straight to the electronics center and stared at the movie Australia. I wanted this movie so damn bad because despite what critics said, it was fucking great. Oh well I didn’t buy it and for good reason. Next week I’ll be purchasing another flop movie called Howard The Duck along with Disney’s Pinocchio and if I can get away with it Kelly Clarkson’s new cd too.

So I picked up my gurrl, Jamie’s birthday present. It’s really amazing, but she’ll read this and then know what it is and sorry Jamie not til Friday! On my way out I had picked up the Lady GaGa CD because I can’t get her out of my head. Now mind you I hate her first single(Just Dance featuring Colby O’Donis) with a passion but I really enjoy every other song. Well I had two POP CDs and some other items and Chris The Probably Gay Cashier said, “Not into rock, huh?” Um excuse me where on Earth do you get off judging me by just two CDs? I’m going to rant now.

I’m an eclectic music boy who prides himself on just that. Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll probably say he has a very eclectic music collection. Let’s see as far as rock goes right now I’m very into The Kills, White Lies(UK Gods–throw back to the 80s), The Killers, OneRepublic, and Muse. And let’s define Rock as not Hard Rock, I’m speaking Rock! Anyway I pride myself in my musical taste because I’ve got a whole platter of genres and a lot of the shit you probably haven’t heard of before. I would like to take this moment and say, “Chris. I’m really glad you listened to Metallica on your lunch break. I listened to The Kills on my way to Target.” Such a fag. I think I’ll make him a mix and say, “Here. Broaden your horizons.”

I don’t know if it’s just me. But I really don’t like other gay boys other than my boyfriend and a small handful of friends. I hate the clubs, I hate the whole scene. I’m by no means a prude. I watch porn and all that jazz. But geez does everybody have to be, “OMG! I’m uber excited!” It’s just gross. There has to be a club I can join to ban against the Super Effeminate Homosexuals. They have to be put on their own planet for real. This does not include drag queens, transsexuals, or transgendered people. I’m only annoyed by this super effeminate race, if you will, of homos. It’s so hard not to go up and ask, “Hey man? What the fuck are you on?” Probably ecstasy.

That’s all I want to say today!

My given name is Joseph Daniel Thomas Broyles. Of course that is a mouth full of words so you can just call me Joey. Born December 15th, 1983 in the Milwaukee-area of Wisconsin. That’s the very basic information that you could pay to find out about me. Currently I’m residing in Madison, Wisconsin and work at a furniture store with my boy of plus five years, Danny. He’s my man and I do get really mad at him sometimes but if I left him I’d be beside myself. Danny is my boy.

I grew up in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin with the idea of one day becoming really famous, so far I’m pretty content with the fact that when you GOOGLE my name I at least show up number one. But as far as famous really goes, I’m not there yet. I want to be, but we all have dreams. Dreams are pretty damn important to hold on to because they get you through all the bullshit days. I identify myself a lot with all those famous stars out in Hollywood and New York. However, I identify more with the author Augusten Burroughs, he’s the super spicy salsa whereas I’m closer to a medium salsa. His memoir, Running With Scissors, that’s no bull my step mother is exactly like his mother. As far as my real mother goes I have yet to have the courage to deal with her and her schizophrenia. But I’m sure I love her. I’ve got a whole lot of brothers and sisters from both parents.

FROM SHELLY W/ OTHER GUY:

6 Half Brothers/Sisters and 2 Step Brothers/Sisters. A whole lot of love.

I have really close relationships with Evan and Jackie because I grew up with them. With Brigette we use to have a very close relationship but she’s in college so, we’ll see if it changes later in life. With Brent we talk but it’s hard to find some common ground with him because we are so different. Blaine and Crystal I have what I call an established relationship with them, but I dearly love them and wish I would make more of an effort to hang with them. I wish we all lived in the same town at the very least. With Miya and Wisper I have an internet relationship with them and because they still live with our mother I haven’t met them yet. So that’s my family description.

Things I do for fun and things I do for hopeful business ventures:
I design t-shirts for myself and for sale. Collect them all at J17Productions.com. I designed the whole site and will in fact talk about my store a little here and there. I’ve got a FACEBOOK and a MYSPACE, but shouldn’t you all? I have four MYSPACEs all together.
MYSPACE
J17MYSPACE
JOEYBROYLES MYSPACE
SHANIKWAJONES MYSPACE
Don’t worry I’ll explain those throughout my whole life. Jesus Christ would someone tell that fucker down the way to shut his god damned bass off! OMG! I’m going to have to go outside and scream at him with a switch for real.

My J17 Productions site hosts a lot of my hobbies which I’m trying to turn into a sort of freelance business. Custom designs with graphics. Entertainment. ETC!

I’ve been into designing graphics since I was in fourth grade and saw my father freehand a squirrel on Photoshop. Yet I’ve also been into writing for just as long. But of course I’m also into performance of all kinds. I love acting and love singing. Now I’m by no means the greatest of any of these things but I’m good at them and if they were my only job I’d be closer to greatness. I have a sickness which has certain symptoms: music, film, and writing.

Stay Tuned.
