The nights are long, but the years are short when you’re alive. Way back when will never be again, it was a time. It’s gonna catch you, so glad I met you, to walk the line.


This is a long long video of the whole of my travels starting from July 2010 when I was still in England, going all the way through all 22 countries that I visited, and going right up to earlier this month, back in England and Germany. I started working on it in November/December 2012 whilst I was staying in Paihia, New Zealand, putting some work into it whilst I was travelling through Central and South America, and finishing it off only last week, back here in England. It then took 27 and a half hours to convert to a video, starting on Friday night and carrying through most of Saturday as it is 8.34GB. And I gave myself the first viewing of my finished product on Saturday night.

Even if no one else ever watches this, I assure you that I will over and over again, and if nothing else, it’s a great memory, for me, of all you amazing people that I've met, and the amazing times that I've endured....er...I mean, enjoyed with you (however long or short they may have been).

I'm kinda hoping that the photos/videos/music choices that might seem weird and random to some people, will actually get noticed by the people that it was aimed at. I know that this video is for me, but I’d like to think that people know when a shout out is for/to them. 

I'm also sorry if this isn't produced as well as I would have wanted, but anyone who has worked with Windows Live Movie Maker will understand....those that will spend some money on a video editor won’t!

I would also like to point out that although I did try and successfully (I feel) kept my blog very PG, however this video is not completely PG friendly. But (and this note goes out especially for my parents) if you think some of the stuff in this video is bad, well then just try and think about bits that I had to leave out!

However I do hope you enjoy watching “Mr Sheen’s Epic Adventure” just as much as I have enjoyed making “Mr Sheen’s Epic Adventure”

So I suppose this is a big THANK YOU for everyone who made this badly constructed/edit video awesome. And I apologize to anyone that is not in the video, please don't take it personally, you are not forgotten I just probably didn't have my camera with me when I was with you!
        
And if you feel that I've taken the piss out of you then you’re probably right, and I probably have... but if you look through this you'll notice that I take the piss out of me too!......Lots!
