The Three Girls is a stop-motion animated movie by Laura Seymou, a six-year old girl, and Angela Sheehan, her adult sister. It's like Axe Cop, except that the child did all of the drawing. Sheehan writes:
This is a stop-motion collage I made, based on drawings by my little sister (six years old at the time). Back in 2005, I was studying animation and taking classes in childhood development/learning and wanted to combine the two. I decided to make a movie with her over Thanksgiving break. I gave her some paper and crayons and asked her to write me a story. I took some video of her drawing and showing her grandparents the story and describing it to them. It was fun to see how she told the story differently to each person and all the little details she included when asked about different parts of the drawings. Back at school, I scanned her drawings in and printed out copies that I then animated to her narration. My dorm room was a giant mess of paper and a camera for about a week. It was a blast. I showed her the finished product over my winter break and she loved it. I would've loved to involve her more in the actual animation process, but my school was too far away.

Must be nice to just stop everything and do something like this.
Looks like he had a great time though.. something he'll always remember.
1. lacking in freshness or effectiveness because of constant use or excessive repetition; hackneyed; stale: the trite phrases in his letter.
2. characterized by hackneyed expressions, ideas, etc.: The commencement address was trite and endlessly long.
3. Archaic. rubbed or worn by use.

As for what I've done this year? I started a high tech manufacturing company in the US where all of our competitors are based in China since they've been outsourced over the past twenty years. Creating local jobs, products and services is a bit more complex (and less self serving) than just walking around.
Nothing against the guy. Young people should go out and see the world before committing to a career... although there's lots of ways to "find yourself" without going through a rite of passage of this magnitude. Anyway, I've just seen this meme so many times that it doesn't impress me anymore. *Yawn*
