I completly agree with your attitude towards life, mate. The only reason I say my next year might be uneventful is because the only thing planned is my friends slowly going to uni and moving away, which sucks obviously. To hell if that's gonna make me have a boring year though, I'm sure I'll be meeting new people, going new places and I'm gonna do the same and take a picture of every day of it. Thank you again for the awesome idea.
Funny how you mentioned the gigs, if I could look at any photo now from the next 365 days, it would be the day I play my first gig.

My mom has Alzheimer's and my dad's been dead for years (and there's no other close family members). If I "change something" I can throw her into an old folk's home and not be able to live with myself for abandoning her. She needs me to take care of her.
Not everyone can just live carefree.

That's a pretty negative attitude to have for life man, "changing something" doesn't mean automatically discarding all you problems... just look at them in a different light. There must be some positive aspects of your life, it's up to you to build on them.
Good for you man. Hope life turns out well for you <3
Hey! You listen to post-rock! Post-rock is awesome!
Anyways, awesome pictures, really liked the slideshow.. Something very creative, and really really cool. Hope you do more stuff like this, I'd live to see more.
Damn...I had surgery that killed years 14-21 for me...Recovering from all the pain medication I was on and building my body up that was trashed from it...I need to still get my GED, Drivers license...Go to college and I don't have any friends...=(
Basically bed-ridden for 2 and a half years.
Accompanied by severe depression...Cabin fever too most likely from staying home for a really long time...I moved into my old neighborhood again I can maybe try to reconnect with childhood friends..?
And theres nothing I can really do at this "moment" to feel like I'm accomplishing something.
Feel like I'm nothing but a lazy asshole...even though when I try to do something highly physical it hurts like hell..
Thanks for a great vid OP
Inspirational. Thank you.

What kind of surgery was it? Surgery is a very positive mental attitude thing. Being upbeat and positive can cure cancers.
great video man. Always wanted to do a trip like that but I can't drop that kinda money quite yet.
Gonna do something once I've graduated from college though
I checked the video description and stuff, but I can't seem to find the name of the song. It was amazing, mind sharing what it was?
It's by a band called Explosions In The Sky (who are fucking AWESOME).
Track is "The birth and death of the day" but it's a remix by Jesu.
Check out the original, it's completely different, and even more awesome.
This is another brilliant track:

Pectus excavatium Nuss procedure..Yeah I was hoping that taking the bar out 3 years after the surgery would cure the pain...Right now I'm doing physical therapy and trying to keep an up attitude about working the pain out etc...It just sucks it caused me to withdraw from society so long and during a very important part of my life.
I farted like 5 times while watching your video.
Anyway, it's great.
I've tried this for weeks at a time but I would end up with many boring shots in a row so I'd stop.
I don't want to attempt to change the boringness in my life because for now I am quite content and I have good grades in high school. It's well balanced.
I'll change it after I get into college or something.

Oww. That sounds like it would hurt a lot. How long ago was the surgery?
3:01 laser tag? Wouldn't be complete without it, nice man. I'm not going to say I'm jealous because I'm not, this is a big part of your life and I applaud you. This video is amazing and I took 10 times as long to watch this video because I was stopping at every shot. I would absolutely love to see the world like you do, except Japan instead of Thailand. I absolutely love architecture.
I really want to do this when things start getting interesting, thanks for your inspiration. Really. Beautiful video.
Thank you so much man, I really appreciate all the nice comments you guys have given me. I can't explain how good it makes me feel to know I've inspired at least 1 person to try and improve their life.
If you guys want to see some of the ones from this year you can check out my flikr [url]http://www.flickr.com/photos/kieran_duncan[/url]
I upload most of my more "photography" esque photos there, I got a new camera just after this project finished so the quality of the pictures improved dramatically. There's still plenty of me and my mates just getting drunk though :P
OP is a hipster, :smile:
Awesome video, seems like you had a great year! also I totally forgot about Explosions in the Sky so thanks for that too.
Unbelievably inspirational. I'm gunna do that starting jan 1st 2012.
[QUOTE=OvB;29912012]Oww. That sounds like it would hurt a lot. How long ago was the surgery?[/QUOTE]
First surgery was November 11th 2005. Second surgery to get the bar out was 2010 September 5th.
I have the bar if anyone wants to see a picture of it. hehe
Would've been cool if I knew this was going to happen and I videotaped it as a documentary...This procedure is barbaric and needs to be changed.
Great music, but kind of pointless, I mean, If you meant it to share it with random people.
Otherwise It's cool to watch with your friends and family.
Considering I've had a number of people mention the fact that it's inspired them I'd say it's anything but pointless... I'm not sure how you can say that. Even if it had the tiniest positive impact, be it just brightening up somebody's otherwise dull afternoon (which it seems to have done) then I reckon it has a point.
As for my reasons, I done it entirely for myself. I guess helping others is an unexpected bonus.
That was awesome OP.

Inspired me.
[QUOTE=Scotchair;29909048]I told the girl I liked how I felt (and kinda got shot down but whatever)
Life is for living lads.[/QUOTE]
I admire you:
1) You tried to show a girl how you feel (When it comes to that my balls disapear).
2) You lived your life to the fullest.
3) You have a lot of cool hobbies and shit.
This is inspiring but even still I personally could not do something like this. :smith:
Hey Scotchair,
Come to Denmark. We'll party and take pictures. We have hot girls here who love English accents.

Alas, I'm Scottish... but if past experience is anything to go buy, the Scottish accent is considerably hotter than an English one ;)
One day man, Denmark is on the to-do list.
hoyl fuck, I mean, wow. I don't even know what to say. Your video summarizes the life I dream of having every night but have no fucking idea where to even start.
I turn 19 in five days. The past year has probably been the best year of my life so far, which isn't saying much because it's only because of the two times this year I forced myself to do something with other people. I learned what an adrenaline rush feels like a few months ago.
But I'm still nowhere near having anything to live for. The very few friends I made (but hanged out with only once or twice all year) all live too far away, and they all have friends to go back to see and hang out with. I don't even have a reason to wake up all summer long :sigh:
