A lot of people find this story inspiring and amazing. I loved the two videos myself! He's become REALLY popular on youtube.com and in the world. Just thought I would put it up to see what other people thought.

Quote:Matt is a 29-year-old deadbeat from Connecticut who used to think that all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames. He achieved this goal pretty early and enjoyed it for a while, but eventually realized there might be other stuff he was missing out on. In February of 2003, he quit his job in Brisbane, Australia and used the money he'd saved to wander around the planet until it ran out. He made this site so he could keep his family and friends updated about where he is.

A few months into his trip, a travel buddy gave Matt the idea of dancing everywhere he went and recording it on his camera. This turned out to be a very good idea. Now Matt is quasi-famous as "That guy who dances on the internet. No, not that guy. The other one. No, not him either. I'll send you the link. It's funny."

The response to the first video brought Matt to the attention of the nice people at Stride long-lasting gum. They asked Matt if he'd be interested in taking another trip around the world to make a new video. Matt asked if they'd be paying for it. They said yes. Matt thought this sounded like another very good idea.

At the start of 2006, Matt left on a 6 month trip through 39 countries on all 7 continents. In that time, he danced a great deal.

Where's the attention whore pic? That guy's a top-choice candidate.

A 29-year old loser with no ambition... so he has to travel all over the world to get someone to (hopefully) notice him.

Right.

Next!

Wow!

He dances like a rivh guy too.

Not one Canadian city either! :(

Isn't that in an of itself an ambitious goal?

a loser with no amibition wouldn't spend his 'life savings' going country to country filming himself dancing to post a 3 minute video on the internet.

I wish I could drop everything I do and have to do something I would love to do (dance in every country).
