I woke up to natural Ocean sounds as I have done every morning since we got to the condo. I then poured a glass of Sailor Jerry and it hit me pretty hard. I forgot how potent the old sailor really could be. Once I recovered Dad and I took the dogs for a walk on the beach. I know that it looks deserted, but there were some hot girls down there that wanted to pet the dogs. So I figure the secret to meeting girls is being attractive (which I am not) or having dogs (which I do not and will not). So I guess that's why I'm still single. Sure pal. That's why. |
Cape San Blas, FL Spring Break 2018 - Day 5 |
I got to sit outside with a tropical drink and enjoy every minute of this. It was so relaxing. That's all I ever really need. I don't need anything fancy or expensive. You people can have everything else. |
All of the girls on the beach were either too young (by a good 15 years) or too old (by a good 40 years) for me, so I had to abide by the window shopping law - looking is free but touching is gonna cost ya. That should just be every law. Keep your hands to yourselves kids. Since I didn't want to get into any trouble, I went into the Ocean surf and frolicked about by myself. I made sure to punch the Ocean in its' stupid face for harboring creatures that want to eat me. Nobody provides sanctuary for those man hungry beasts on my watch and gets away with it. |
Eventually my Dad had to take the dogs back to the condo, so I stayed to make sure the fire went out and dispose of any evidence. Although this was legal, here were explicit instructions that you were to cover the fire when it was out. When I'm alone in the dark, weird thoughts creep into my head. I was thinking about how easy it would be for someone to murder me out here and bury my body. And without any witnesses, they would get away with it Scott-free. I briefly thought about spending the night on the beach but then I remembered that I am terrified of Ocean and sand creatures and how they could sneak up on me while I was asleep. Screw that. I'm not letting my guard down. |
I took a 180 degree look around so that you could get some kind of idea what I was dealing with down here. I never wanted to leave, and I'm hoping that you can help me pool some money together so that we can go back down there, buy one of these condos and never have to leave again. I promise you'll never regret your decision. You have multiple levels. You have beachside accommodations. You have natural paintings adorning the sky every day. You have the moon and stars at night. Just look at these wonderful things around you. What more is you looking for? |
I still hadn't figured out the settings on the time lapse video (I wouldn't until I got back home from this trip), so I once again apologize that it isn't as smooth as it should be. But it still gives you an idea of what I experienced that night without having to sit and watch a one hour video. You're welcome. As soon as the sun set I was treated to such wonderful colors that I had to stop and wonder what I did to deserve this. Now I realize that I don't deserve it, but I will gladly steal it away from someone else who does. It's good to be me and it sucks to be you! |
My goal for tonight was to try another time lapse video of the sunset. Since I had already done one from the beach and the 3rd level of the condo, I decided to try one from the 1st level. Before I planned on sitting out there for about 45 minutes (which is how long it takes to get about a minute of the final time lapse video) I made myself a nice tropical cocktail. I know that there was Sailor Jerry and pineapples in there and I can only guess that the mixer was some kind of fruit punch. While my phone was taking the time lapse video, I goofed around by adding a "filter" to a video I was taking with my other camera. |
When my Dad first tried to sell me on this place (to entice me to join him down here for the week) he mentioned that you were able to have fires right on the beach. First off, I'm not sure why he had to sell me on this trip. I have plenty of vacation time, no friends/wife/kids, no purpose or direction in life, I like to party and I've spent plenty of other Spring Breaks with him. The fire on the beach was really just an added bonus. We bought a bundle of wood but waited until tonight to light it up. It took a while to get the fire going, which would explain why there are no ladies there. Girls also love fires, but they didn't have the patience to wait for the party to get started and they moved on down the beach. And so me and my Dad (and the occasional dog) sat around the fire and watched it burn while the Ocean waves added ambiance. |
