4th of July treat

Private Home, Malibu, CA
Partying with good hearted people and drunks for the 4th of July was a treat for the stressed soul. The home was situated in a beautiful area in Malibu. As the waves splashed up on the sand and the summer breeze touched our skin, the home owners served us the best selection of alcoholic beverages I had ever seen, and the food was out of this world. Everyone seemed shy in the beginning but it didn’t take long for all of us to feel at home. I met lots of people, and quite frankly, I liked all of them. Morgan, a photographer from Canada, told me about the movie “Blow up”. Apparently if I want to know about photography the film will provide me with a complete explanation of it. Patty and Agatha (two good friends who met each other in London), were funny and after a couple of Agatha’s special drinks, they danced like great performers. Prudencia, the teacup Chihuahua, was also having a great time. “Prude” wore a pink sexy dress which provoked jealousy among the women. Tim from Switzerland, now living in Seattle, said his parents came to the United States because of spiritual reasons. I said to him that he obviously didn’t follow his parent’s steps in spiritualism; he laughed and said his brother drinks more than he does. Samy and Daniella, another nice couple, relaxed and enjoyed the weather. More people arrived and everyone drank like there was no tomorrow. We kept on partying and towards the end of the night, magic tricks and poker sounded perfect. First the magic tricks: Samy performed a toothpick trick that he made disappear. Esthella did a card trick which was impressive, particularly when she couldn’t remember how to do the trick. Poker was a bit more competitive; especially when people lost their funds and mysteriously money reappeared from nowhere. Patty’s famous quote was: “When you talk to me, talk to my eyes and when you talk to my eyes, talk to me twice”. Indeed! The 4th of July was fun and interesting and it wouldn’t have been possible without the “firecrackers” that I spent my Independence Day with.
