What In The Name of Summer is This?

I’ve been in a bit of video slump lately.  Over the last few years, my videography hobby has had me recording, editing and publishing 10 to 20 YouTube videos every month.  So far this August, I’ve made none.  Zero. Zip.  Zilch.

Surely going to back to work doesn’t mean I have to abandon my favorite hobby!  Well, a couple days ago, I came up with an idea for a video.  As I mulled it over, I almost abandoned the idea because I concluded it was kinda lame. Today, I went out and recorded my idea, and had a lot of fun doing it.  The fact that it was one of fleeting and few beautiful Northwestern Summer days helped tremendously.

Here’s your challenge:  What Was My Idea?  What is the theme behind this seemingly random collection of clips?

Music: The Duke of Uke and His Novelty Orchestra.


Can you figure it out?

    Wow! I can’t figure out the underlying theme, but it’s a cool video. I liked the part with the x-ray. 😆

    Well… I thought the first people to watch it would get it right away! I guess it’s harder to understand than I thought. Normally, I’d not like that aspect of one of my vids, but in this case…

    Reflections of shades of red and green? I have no idea, but I liked the video too. You are asking us to peer into your mind, you sure you want us there?

    You had a doctor’s appointment for your A1C (cholesterol) check-up. The Guacomole and sour creme on that Tostada looks delicious!! (food porn Zucchini at the end means that you also got your viagara prescription filled!) :mrgreen:

    Life is short, enjoy while you can 😀 . I like the helmet, the video and the music.

    the alphabet.

  • dustup224 says:

    Oooohhh! That’s not a Tostada—it’s a quesadilla… :mrgreen:

    Okay, here is my take. Your day started off in shades of gray because summer is almost over, so you decided to take a bike ride to cheer yourself up and embrace what’s left of it. Along the way you got hungry so you decided to try and catch some fish but when you realized that you would have to go ALL the way back home to cook them, you threw them back in the water and opted instead for some pizza and tostada or quesdilla or whatever that Mexican food item is. While eating it, you bit down on a hard bit of….um….avacado pit, that somehow found it’s way into that quacamole so immediately you called your dentist for an appointment. You hoped the UPS guy might feel bad for your plight and drive you over but noooooooo! He was too busy on his route. So you went to the dentist on you own, he removed the bit of pit that was lodged in your molar and you were feeling freaking hunky dory after that, so you went to the supermarket to pick up some veggies. But then, for whatever reason, you found yourself in the toy aisle looking at yo-yo’s. This made you think of things that went up and down. Then you wandered over to the produce section…..and then found yourself preoccupied with the zuccini. 😯 After that you decided it best to go home before you found yourself preoccupied with the Kielbasas or summer sausages. 😯 😯 😯

    So, am I right? Was I close? :mrgreen:

    Wow a public phone.

    bus stop, garbage Can, Elect Dillian, Fist, grass, Helmet, Island?, lamppost, Marina, Net, o?, pizza, Quesadilla,
    roundabout, Sidewalk, Telephone, UPS, violets, X-ray, Yo Yo, Zucchini

    Dang Joko, what do those items have in common. I am stumped.

    At a guess, is it some of the sites on your journey to work?
