Guy films himself over 35 years, must watch...

Sam Klemke began filming himself 35 years ago long before the term vlogger even existed using Super 8 film and a separate audio recorder because his camera couldn't record sound.

He hoped that one day he would have the technology to merge the video and audio. He has been recording himself every year for the last 35 years, and last month he posted the edited clips in a single video that shows his life backwards.

The video has gone viral,  racking up nearly 700,000 views online. Klemke now finds himself doing interviews with stations all over the world. He is even being called the first vlogger by some.

"I've always had this fascination that you could capture time with a movie camera," he says to KVAL News. "I remember being fascinated that you could look at a film with Jimmy Stewart in the 70s. And then you could also look at one of him in the 30s and you could see, oh my God, you could see a 40-year span of his life right before your eyes with two separate movies."

Hoo boy.  I don't even like to look at 35 year old photos.  Hell, I don't even like to look in the mirror and have done very little of it for the last 5 or 6 years.

I feel the same inside.  Can still work a long day, ride a tough horse, hike in high altitude to the best fishing spots, and dance all night, but the years sure show.

I feel old inside but look young and healthy on the outside.  My knee and left hand (mainly the joint of my middle finger) hurt daily (reactive arthritis which is an auto immune disease, it moves from joint to joint), my eye hurts on and off (somedays I think my uveitis is back ad other days I think it's not) and I get frequent headaches.  In general I feel like Im in my 60's but can pass for much younger than my years.

Looks like his problems started when he moved out on his own.
