Juggling, acrobatics, dancing, swimming, hula hoops… this video has got it all! And according to the creator:

This is my Honours project edited down to a watchable length - it’s an examination of rhythm and human movement.

In a way it reminds me of the Swim Bodies video, except that this one substitutes fun for creepy.

What is the point of this video? I don’t know! But I found it mesmerizing nonetheless.

Did you see the movie Minority Report with Tom Cruise? Well, this video reminds me of the scenes where they are looking at the future. Kind of surreal and blurry, although the events are crystal clear.

These women are just kind of floating around in the water striking poses as if they were supermodels. Meanwhile, they water all around is completely black and their skin looks ghostly white. It’s just very, very interesting videography.

A while back I wrote about one of the most inspiring stories I’ve ever heard about, the father and son team of Richard Hoyt and Richard Hoyt Jr. Well, in the June 2007 issue of Men’s Health magazine Richard Jr. published a huge father’s day letter to his dad. I figured it would be appropriate to share given that we’re only a week away.

You have to realize that it takes an extraordinary effort for him to communicate in this manner, so the length and eloquence of the message are moving.

This is quite possibly the most inspirational and touching thing I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s the story of Dick and Rick Hoyt, and words don’t do it justice so just watch the video.

And guys… don’t watch this around anyone you don’t want to see you weep. Trust me. And by the way, stop making excuses for not doing anything with your life!
