I found this video very much by chance. It's been called the dancing-guy video, the where-the-hell-is-matt video. But whatever moniker it has, it leaves the same effect on pretty much everyone who watches it - a huge smile and no small wonder (and envy) at the variety of places he's been to. Someone gave Matt the idea of dancing in every place he traveled to, and here is the result, the first video.
So he may not have danced to any music when it was filmed, but I thought the dancing so wild, unrestrained, and joyful. How many of us get to cut loose and prance around like that? How many of us dare to? Watching Matt's dancing made me happy. It made me want to travel again. It made me want to step out of my cloak of inhibition.
But I'm still just watching. And I want to say I loved the settings he chose, and I loved how several creatures and people joined in, laughed, or scared the daylights out of poor Matt. His nieces, Ellie and Sarah, are very cute too. Of course, the seals and elephants and dogs are tough to beat; and the jellyfish and giant turtle weren't bad either.

Posted by: tiggie at August 23, 2006 1:04 AMHi Vanessa. Linked to you via Karen's site. I've been reading through a bit and I think it's funny how you're talking about places in the US like I've been talking to people about Singapore lately. We should chat sometime, because I think you're nuts:) I'm at vonmunchausen@hotmail.com on MSN.
Boy would I love to meet this dancing guy. Great find!
