Josie's On A Vacation Far Away

Come Around And Talk It Over, So Many Things That I Want To Say, You Know I Like My Girls A Little Bit Older

Classic song for a classic blog post.



The actual video is not that good. So here is my reimagining that I will honestly edit up in iMovie when I go on my next road trip. You get the intro bass line cutting in. From about 0:00 seconds to 0:18 you have the camera slowly panning down the length of a long convertible. Intercut with this panning move is quick flashes of palm trees and the sun setting behind them and in one quick shot you see a plane taking off. You also get a brief shot of wind surfers.

:18 -:30 ( I Just Wanna Use Your Love Tonight ) Is me driving away down a stretch of road (preferably Miami or Los Angeles). I'm wearing reflective aviators, acid wash jeans that are tight, and a large jean fabric button down shirt with the top 3 buttons undone.

:31-:48 In that weird gray scale video style where its basically like its dropping a frame or two (stutter style slow motion) you see a flashback of me arguing with my hot 80's girlfriend. She has gigantic hair and is wearing a womans suit jacket with giant shoulder pads. She slams the door and I sit on my large white tacky leather couch which rests beneath my tiger print rug. I put my face in my hands.

:49-1:32 Now a short montage of me driving at night occurs. Time Lapse camera's capture the blurring lights of the Los Angeles West Hollywood nightlife. I'm distraught but don't know what to do. Pain in my eyes (you can tell despite the fact that I am wearing my sunglasses at night, so I can, So I can, keep track of the visions in my head) as I drive aimlessly yet there are glimpses of me looking at attractive women as I drive by. Near the 1:32 point I am now sitting at a bar alone where a lively crowd behind me is dancing and enjoying themselves.

1:33-2:40 Steadicam shot that has 'shades of Goodfellas' as I enter an almost Michael Jackson Beat It like situation in that I'm walking out of the bar (as opposed to the diner in Beat It). I stand up and look directly into the camera. I then turn around and exit the bar through the kitchen and out the back where my convertible is conviently parked. As I pull away the tires screech and I'm off in a plume of tire smoke.

2:40-3:39 It now shows my distraught girlfriend back at my badass 80's pad. She is now in full hot 80's chick mode. She is in her going out to the club wear. She is wearing an off the shoulder top in leopard print. A short lycra mini-skirt finishes this outfit. She is crying while looking through the photo album of our trip where we went skiing in Tahoe. I burst through the door and there is a moment of tension as we both stare. We realize the errors of our ways and reunite in a hug. As the music fades the picture of us hugging freeze frames and fades out and cuts back to me and my newly reunited girlfriend driving down the Pacific Coast Highway as the sun sets.

Fin.
