I'm recording one second of every day  of my life for the rest of my life,

chronologically compiling these one-second

tiny slices of my life into one single continuous video

until, you know,

I can't record them anymore.

The purpose of this project is, one:

00:17
I hate not remembering things that I've done in the past.

There's all these things that I've done with my life
7

00:21
that I have no recollection of unless someone brings it up,
8

and sometimes I think,

where people just are at concerts with their cell phones out
12

recording the whole concert.

I admittedly used to be that guy a little bit, back in the day,

00:39
and I've decided that the best way
15
39354
2376
00:42
for me to still capture and keep
16
42170
2446
00:44
a visual memory of my life
17
44616

00:47
and not be that person,
18

00:48
is to just record that one second
19
48408

00:49
that will allow me to trigger that memory of,
