I feel like a dweeb for admitting this, but on occasion I'll see some particular vibrant, beautiful color combination in nature or in art, and find myself short of breath, heart racing, and just feeling overall very lightheaded and exhilarated. Not to the point of passing out, but close enough to be concerned once or twice. Perhaps everyone experiences this, but I never hear other people mention it. “Stendhal syndrome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stendhal_syndrome”

Sounds like my man could use a cigarette after this. I just wish he would've spun around and shot the scene behind him. Animal farm with all the inhabitants wearing name tags? Solar panels? 11 freshly-killed humans skewered on javelins? No ridicule on this guy though. I just skimmed his 250+ videos. He lives more in a day than I do in a whole (hole) year.
