I also love the place i live in, its so beautifull and love the iregular perfection of nature, its so simple, caotic and at the same time beautifuly perfect.

I think im a little late for the video and im a bit lazy to make one, so i decided to share this way, i always cary in my pockets my keys which are attached to a mini-slipper keychain, my nokia cell phone, and my wallet.

Hurray for azores, where i live, magical place.

Original doesn't even describe what's about to happen...Kevin, you're about to make history...

This is like a time capsule of 1 day on Earth, future generations will watch...

[thedailyenglishshow]

The collection of sarcastic comments alone makes this project worthwhile.

Now this is interesting and original. What I'd love to see is some big event filmed and commented from different perspectives/points of view.
