Gringo Gets A Girl

Song - "La Trampa" by Manu Chao
Gringo returns after giving up hope at the Colombia River (Video #186 Gringo Gives Up) and in great luck, he's found a sweet senorita of his own to keep his life interesting. I'm sure we will see these two soon enough! Ole!

Big Kiddie Pool

VIDEO #138

Song - "Swimming Pool" by Lucky Luciano

The heat wave is still strong and the sun hats from the day before aren't quite cutting it. We decided to hit the club house pool by 10am, which was perfect. Greyhounds for breakfast, followed by a bloody and a pi ña colada seemed like a good idea, and that it was! Even as the day became sweltering hot and more screaming children showed up, there was a steady tingling sensation that carried on through the day which made everything nice and mellow. Unfortunately the nice tingling sensation turned into a headache this morning and I had to relive the pool experience in this edit without the medication that started off yesterday. It's a rough life.

The Hills Have Pools

VIDEO #126

Song - "Matilda" by Harry Belafonte and "Bombtrack" by R.A.T.M.

The Hills in Los Angeles is home to some of the fanciest celebrities in the country. It's a place of status and class, shiny Hummers and Beemers, poodles wearing clothes and makeup faced joggers. Yes, this is what the American Dream is all about. To make things fun for these high end hill toppers, we decided to give the locals a show by jumping and screaming from the rooftop into the extravagant salt water pool for hours and hours until the horizon went from hazy pollution to the black of night. It is 9pm right now, almost time to do it all over again!

The Deep End

Song - "Ain't it Great to be Crazy" Kid Songs

Just because you're big enough to play at the deep end of the pool, doesn't mean you're all grown up. It's fun to imagine though.

The Shallow End

Song - "In My Place" by Rockabye Baby! (Coldplay Cover)

The kiddy pool was a big hit last weekend. We played "drink as many bottles of white wine as you can before the sun goes down." We all won and celebrated by the fire, making smores and drinking more wine. It's a rough life, you know? And getting older is rough! I remember it being much easier as a kid.... the kiddy pool seemed much bigger.

Human Jaws Attack

Jaws Theme

I really hope this video doesn't make the kids out there think I am an evil shark man who attacks girls on floaties in swimming pools. On the other hand, with the idea I did scare little kids from going in pools could mean more urine free water..... it's a revolution!

Pool Volleyball

VIDEO #051

Song - "You Shook Me All Night Long" remix by AC/DC

Pool volleyball is my new favorite leisure sport, hands down. While on vacation, most people hit the scene, jump in a boat, see the sites... me... oh no... pool volleyball all day, everyday!

Putting in the Pool

VIDEO #038

Song - "Joy to the World" by Cathedral Brass

In the process of getting the stairs from the back deck to the yard in (which is still in progress), I uncovered a little bit of history of the house... the back patio! That's right, buried under the dirt lays an old, but classy array of concrete slabs! Not much to brag about other than the fact it's a free patio that brings fun for the whole family, and I think the video captures just that.
