Dancing Matt
These clips are definitely making their way around the net. When I got them forwarded to me the timing couldn't have been better. I was having a miserable sorry-for-myself day and watching these two video clips made me smile all over and put such joy in my heart.

Furthermore, I am finding out that Matt is a REAL person. Not just that he exists, but that he has a cynical and critical streak like I do. So if ignorance is bliss, just watch the videos, smile, and read no further into what happens in between takes of the "running man". However, I am intrigued to find someone who is just like me. Someone who inspires others, but on in the inside there is a hard edge, albeit very self-aware, but consciously living up to that aspiration he projects.
What do y'all think of these video clips?

Wow! I'd love to visit just half of the places he's been.

Matt looks like an idiot. And what is even dumber is that some company gave him money to go around the world, dance like a jackass, and share it with the rest of us. I want my 5 minutes back.

I am not presumptuous when I watch that video. What I see is someone abandoning the feeling of self consciousness and just letting the rhythm of life flow through him. He says in his FAQ section of his website that really he was just being silly with that dance, that a friend suggested he do his silly dance at all these travel destinations. He even admits that it's nothing special; he just flails his arms and legs and just goes with his own flow.
I would give anything for that to be me. And most people agree, hence the volume of people that have made that video their favorite on YouTube.com
And if I may piss on your parade even more....after the shitty day I had that day I received the link to that video.....finding out that my cervical pre-cancer is still present even after two failed treatments....I smiled all over watching that video. It really made my shitty day all better. Someday I want to go to at least ONE of those places and do a happy dance of my own knowing I beat this fucking bullshit called cancer.

Nicole, I came to see how you were doing, and I just wanted to wish you all the best with beating the cancer - and may you put Matt's dancing in the shade in exotic locales around the world once you have done so.
