Life in HD :: Videos

So, I got a “real” job at the end of March… and because of this, I was allowed to reward myself with a new HD video camera; the HV30. This camera is awesome. Anyway, I’ve used it to document my life as of late. Here are three videos I made in the past month. Click on the title to take you to the HD version of the video.

This first video is of the time spent with my family in California. A fire on the Beach.

The Deli

So if I remember correctly, it started when the building across the street started on fire. I was like, “oh crap, not another fire.”

I grabbed the fire pail next to the sink and started filling that sucker up. It wasn’t long after that the bird flew into the house. I was so distracted by it’s flapping that I completely forgot I was even holding a bucket half full of water. The splash echoed throughout the house. Even the bird seemed to stop flying for a moment to look at my drenched feet. At that point, there wasn’t anything I could do but laugh.

I sat in the water utterly defeated. I don’t even really know why. I probably should have got back on track, but that moment just tickled me to the core. Besides, it was too hot anyway. The water was so nice and refreshing. I mean with the building across the street lighting up the neighborhood, I needed all the laughs I could get.

Right about then that goofy bird sat down right next to me. I stared at it for a little while and then decided I could use some company in my bird bath. We had a good time right at that moment; sharing a chuckle and good cool down. Nothing mattered for a second.

Then the bird died.

I’ll miss you old friend.
