Pricey's Place...The Movie???

It's probably about time for another post I think.

I recently approached myself with the idea that it's time for Pricey's place to hit the big screens. 

I intend to write, direct, produce and star in the cinematic production of how Pricey's place came to be what it is today.

The film begins with me (Joe Price) having a "eureka" moment, wherein I decide that a blog would help me tell people things that would otherwise be confined to my head.

So far I'm choosing between 3 potential clips and would really appreciate my fans helping me decide which is best:

Chill pill, that's all I'm saying.

Hello all,

My last blog has caused a huge amount of social upheaval, which I feel needs to be addressed promptly.

To recap, a young Priceling attempted to draw me in to a round of fisticuffs.

The reason I think this needs discussing is due to all of the conflicting accounts of events that are surfacing in the international media:

Regrettably there is no video of the event itself, however I found this to be a pretty accurate reconstruction wherein I am wearing a suave black outfit (topman ofc.).

I hope that this lays the matter to rest. I often pride myself on being unbiased and completely impartial about events, even when they concern myself.

Stay classy Pricediego

Review of a film I have seen

I enjoy the occasional film, when not singing, dancing, writing poetry, practising dancing, listening to music, watching people dance, or doing other indie things.

Here is a review of a film I think everyone should see:

Twilight

Twilight is the story of a corrupt private investigator called Tony “Twilight” McClure (see above photo). Twilight McClure earned his nickname as he only solves crimes in twilight. This is because he is both scared of the dark and committed to his other job running a bohemian coffee shop during the day.

The film itself begins as a tale of how he first got in to being a private investigator. As a child Twilight McClure was adopted as both of his parents died in a fist fight with one another. His foster parents were then murdered when someone crashed a cruise liner in to their beach house. Twilight vows to find out who the killer was. 

Over the course of the film a love interest is introduced in the form of this young lady:

They have a whirlwind romance that takes up most of the film, to the extent that the original plot is completely forgotten.

The film reaches an abrupt climax when it is revealed that his aforementioned love interest is 15. As Twilight McClure is 33 he is arrested on paedophilia charges and subsequently incarcerated. 

In other news, I recently headed in to Manchester for a textbook wild night out. The night went exceedingly well up until the very end at which point I was approached by someone I can only assume dresses himself word for word from my instructions.

Usually such people just want to discuss polo shirts or other important issues, but in this case the youth began to throw insults and allegations like some form of tennis ball machine, however rather than launching tennis balls he was launching insults and allegations.

Enough about balls. After some time it became apparent that the young Priceling was under the impression that I had been flirting with his girlfriend. This can be a frequent issue when, like me, one is dressed to perfection and ridiculously good looking. 

I drew the line when he insulted my little gay friend. I was tempted to go sick but instead I left and wrote a song about it. I will enact my revenge by telling him flares are in.

I'm going to review "Step Brothers" soon so come back and read that.

My first holiday without my mum and dad and sisters.

Dear readers,

You may note that there hasn’t been a Pricey’s place for some time.

This is because I have been busy booking, preparing for, going on and subsequently reflecting on my holiday. I decided I needed a holiday because I have been working quite hard on my blog (amongst other endeavors) and the pressure was starting to build up. The final straw was getting only 92% on this quiz:

I went to the travel agent and booked a trip to Ayia Napa. I had considered taking my friend, or my recently acquired club mate, but both of them were unavailable for the fortnight. The whole trip cost me a cool £799.

Bargain.

On the plane I listened to meat is murder on repeat, got through 7 plays. A lady in a uniform repeatedly asked me to turn off my Ipod as it was allegedly interfering with the planes' instruments, but I made an executive decision: Morrisey > Safety of others.
For the first few nights I mostly stayed in reading my poems. I tried to read them from different perspectives, but I found that I got into it a bit much and upset myself when I was reading from the perspective of a Jewish gentleman in 1942 Poland.

Because of this I thought I had better go out. I headed to the nearest bar. I had originally misinterpreted what type of bar it was and arrived in a full suit (inc. waistcoat, top hat and cane). Luckily though I always carry a spare pair of skinny jeans & indie  t-shirt wherever I go.

This is always a wise thing to do. For instance, one time I was wearing an arctic monkeys Tee & saw a babe in a denim jacket wearing a Kings of Leon Tee, within minutes I had located a bathroom to change in and was then wearing my Kings of Leon shirt. I was then safe in the knowledge that if I saw aforementioned babe again we would have something to talk about. I didn't see her again, but that's not the point.


I left the bar at around 12 because people kept trying to talk to me whilst I was creating beautiful poetry. Got to bed around 4 after writing the first half of my next creation.
That night someone broke in to my room and pissed on my bed.

After that mishap I was ready to leave.

I consider the holiday a success, even though I came home a week early and it cost me in excess of £1000. I got a lot of writing done and really had a lot of time to find myself. Also, loads of people saw me doing my "angsty teen" look. Most importantly I acquired this ILL tattoo:

That's all from me until next time friends.

Incorporating football in to my busy schedule

Apologies for the lack of blogs recently but I've been following the football because it's pretty cool atm.

Even though my beloved England are no longer in the World cup I thought I would post a blog about how one should conduct themselves in a football loving crowd.

1. Dress code - A lot of people wear football strips to football matches/the pub when a match is on. Despite this I would recomend wearing: Skinny jeans, pointy shoes & Fred Perry shirt. A winning combination.
2. Knowing who to support - This is often dependant upon where you are. I reccomend trying to stand out by supporting a different team to the majority. For instance throughout the World Cup I've supported The Blues, The Greens, The Reds, amongst others. (Using colours saves time that would otherwise be spent remembering names of teams)
3. Shouting the right things - If like me you go to the pub once every few months, you may be accustomed to people shouting things during football games. I've never really grasped the concept of what they're saying, so rather than try I just shout "FOOTBALL!" in any given situation. 

Half time is a very valuable part of any football game. I typically spend them practising my chat up lines on men (so I can see how they go down before I try them on women) and talking about my blog to various football fans.

In one half time recently I wrote a poem entitled "Oh, I'm unhappy":



Sitting on the train back up north (love it)
thinkin of morrissey and palestine ( :/ )
all i wanna do is go to the seaside just like the kooks do
man i miss you

take me to the hare and hounds and 42s
oh please take me !
because i want the one i cant have and its driving me mad !
man i miss that place

but i know all i do is go home, listen to morrissey, smoke a cigg and drinks some heavy coffe
because im cool like that...
or am i :/








I got a bit to into it and ended up missing the second half of the match and crying a little bit in the pub.

Anyway, I have to go and take down all the England flags from the front of my house. I have a huge one hanging from my bedroom window that I plan to replace with a 12 foot canvas of this:

It's going to cost a modest £489, a sound investment.

My last day of college

I've been working up the courage to commit my thoughts on the last day of college to a blog for some time.

Last time I got this emotional I ended up missing the rest of the kings of leon concert. Not ILL.

Anyway, as Indie wasn't at stake this time I played my Meat is Murder Vinyl and got writing. (Note. Vinyls are way cooler than CD's/MP3's, despite being physically much bigger, having a smaller capacity, costing more money, having worse sound quality, being none portable, having no easy method of communicating with modern formats, requiring otherwise obsolete hardware & being harder to purchase etc etc.)

Many photo's were taken, a lot of which I'm in. If you're familiar with my blog "How I stay cool despite having a few problems with my life" you'll know that it's important to show off photo's of yourself as much as possible. With that in mind:

Me and the gang

The girls

I was front man in glee club, seen here dancing to "I bet that you look good on the dancefloor"

End of year basketball thing

                                    

In case you can't see me I've zoomed in here:

These were just some of the best photo's, I've got an album of maybe 20+ photo's that either feature me or I was somewhere in the room when they were being taken. This brings my facebook total up to 43 photo's of me.

Emotions were running high on the last day and I, as always, couldn't help a few tears. I was grateful that everyone carried on as if nothing happened, so as not to make a scene. They're true friends.

I was pretty down at the end of the day so listened to the cure all the way home and did a bit of interpretive dance on the bus. I was feeling better when I got home but to really get my spirits up I watched this 3 or 4 times:



After this I was buzzing and ready to party hard. I watched "Control" & "24 hour party people" whilst making notes on how to dress.




I hope this blog conveys how much I will miss all of my friend at college. I'm going to concentrate on getting my job as a dancer sorted now so that I have some income over Summer. Check back for my blog on what I plan to do now and to hear about my life plan.

Kind regards,

Why there hasn't been a blog for a few days

Hello friends,



Firstly, you have my apologies. I am well aware that there hasn't been a blog for a few days and I have been inundated with requests for a new one.


There are many reasons behind this. Firstly, I've been dancing a lot recently, which tires me out LOADS. Also, I've been busy applying for jobs.


As dancing is my fortè, I thought I would focus on tying to become a professional dancer. I found a great website called gumtree and got applying. Here was the first ad that caught my eye:

"EXOTIC DANCERS WANTED FOR WORK 

IN A SHEFFIELD CITY CENTER GENTLEMANDS 

CLUB.

CALL KEV ON 0********** FOR MORE INFO"

I'm a complete gentlemand so of course I applied with this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Randle,

--------------------------------------------------------------------

kev******@*********l.com, send him an
email and i'll forward this on aswell



--------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm still waiting to hear from Kev but I'm sure he'll be in touch

As I was on gumtree anyway I thought I would see what indie stuff I could find. I'd been considering finding a wingman for my clubbing for a while, when I stumbled upon an ad for an indie club mate. As you can imagine I immediately got in touch:

Hello!

  I am too an indieboy and for sometime I have been

looking for a clubmate.  I'm English (hearted, Irish

blooded lol), a pretty good talker, bit of a  ladies

man and a wicked dancer.  In a clubmate I'm looking for :      

- good dance moves (original please, last

clubmate was always stealing my moves)  

- some good conversation ideas  

- taste in all things indie  

- potentially a fellow blogger  

- pointy shoes.  

If you fit this description please get in

touch and we'll hit some clubs! 

 Joe

I then received the following response:

Hey Joe - 

 Okay, sounds fine! Pointy shoes? They tend

to be round most of the time... though black.

And trust me, my dance moves are highly

original! Do have own writings about indie

stuff at different places on the web.. Though

no real blogging at this point. I tend to have

a keen eye on this: http://www.leedsgigs.co.uk/ 

Be it Oporto, Northern Monkey, Angel share,

you tend to have great gig nights for very lil.

And there are plenty of dance nights around

as well (Wire and such). So I'll try to find

some inspiration &; if you have any

suggestions let me know! 

 Cheers #

My response:

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your timely response.

You sound like an okay guy. I'm a little 

disappointed about the lack of pointy shoes,

we may have to discuss this if we get serious.

Regarding the blogging issue you may

want to check out my posts on how to get

ready for a really good night out, here.

I will be in touch if you've made the shortlist.

I think I'll leave it a week then get in touch, as I always say, treat em mean, keep them cool.

If any one reading this wishes to apply to be an indie clubmate or give me a job as a dancer email me on:

priceysplace@gmail.com

I thank you for reading about my endeavour in to gumtree. Check back for updates, particularly from Kev, I really want this job as a dancer.

Yours,

JP
