Maybe I'm having sympathy PMS from all the PMSy bitchiness enveloping me everywhere I go recently, because this video just feels kind of happy and inspiring, and I can't think of anything cynical or sarcastic to say about it.

You're freaking me out
Comments by Amanda
You're totally right, it is happy and inspiring.
Although I can't help but wonder if his legs are tired yet.
I wouldn't be surprised if you ARE having sympathy PMS. I mean, if Miss Britt can get you to have a pedicure with her... why not have a happy period, too?
Comments by Amber
I love that guy. Don't know why, but I think it's freaking awesome that he goes around the world like that.
Comments by Karl
I can't believe I'm admitting this, but EVERY TIME I see that video, I cry because it's just so cool. I also cried when I saw the photos of Mars that were just released a few days ago. So yeah - cool stuff makes me cry.
Comments by Squeaky Wheel
I'm still nervous after reading the Twitter that you have an RSS feed called "People I Fucking Hate."
Must remember to stay on your good side.
Though I have no idea how to go about doing that.
If I photoshopped you as Princess Leia, would that make things better, or worse?
Comments by Janna
Then how about snarky, irreverent or perverted. Get with it here, we're not paying you to... oh wait a minute...
ahem... sorry
Comments by Willie G
Did you see on his website that he landed in Miramar, Florida today? I'm emailing him to see if he's taping somewhere in Florida. I am sooooo gonna' go dance with that dude if he's dancing here. This will take my geek status to the maximum potential!
Comments by Tasses
Aw Avi don't go soft on us!
Comments by Kay
You need to follow his blog! It's a fascinating insight into what goes into making his videos.
Comments by Dave2
I'll come back when I'm not having my period.
Comments by Hilly
Yeah, I love that guy too, and I've seen the videos. But if you tell anybody, I'll stab you. I'm PMSing, no jury with a woman on it would convict me.
Comments by Tracy Lynn
Well, crap.
If that doesn't make a person happy, then they are dead inside.
Comments by Christine
That certainly beats dolphin porn
Comments by Dan
Ok, I have a super-S-L-O-W dial up connection, and the video just now finished loading (yeah... it took a couple hours...)
But, wow, OMG, it was so worth it.
That was really nice.
I can almost feel the wind beneath my wings, or something like that.
Very cool.
Comments by Janna
I cried like a big ol' wimp at the first one of these; I thought I'd be less of a sissy this time around. Turns out? Nope, still a sniveler where this guy is concerned.
Comments by Melanie
Maybe you should stuff a tampon into your penis... ya know... just to be sure...
Comments by DutchBitch
First of all, I'd like to say that Dutchgirl's comment may be the greatest comment ever.
Secondly, fuck that sensitive crying crap. My question isn't "where the hell is Matt?" My question is, where the fuck are Matt's parents and their pile of cash?" or "What the fuck does Matt do for a living that provides him both this much money AND this much free time?"
Answer THAT sissy boy.
Comments by Functionally ReTodded
matt totally wants me.
(i have always enjoyed his dancing videos, pms or not. dude has got it good. twks)
Comments by hello haha narf
Awwww. Wanna make out?
Comments by Miss Britt
Must be a hormonal day on the Interweb, I got all choked up and had to stop.
Comments by Nat
Functionally ReTodded: Here is where you can find out that info. The first trip was financed by his savings. His second and third were both financed by Stride gum. Lucky bastard.
Comments by Squeaky Wheel
I loved it. And I did not cry. I doesn't make me any better or any worse than your other readers, just more drugged up.
Comments by ADW
Wow. I would love to travel like that.
Comments by Kyra
He did the dance on the Vomit Comet. I am jealous.
Comments by golfwidow
That's awesome! Thanks for making me smile first thing in the morning.
Comments by Gwen
That was so cool! I have never seen that or heard of him.
Just imagine if dancing was all it took to get the world to live in peace and harmony. Instead of arguing and fighting we could look at each other, smile and break into dance, have a Coke or Diet Coke with Lime....
Did I mention I am extremely hormonal today?
Comments by Trishk
I laughed. I cried. I watched it about 10 times. Of course, I actually do have PMS so make of that what you will.
Comments by Jen
He forgot to go to Guam.
Comments by student teacher (mcat)
Yeah.. I needed a smile.
Comments by maman
I guess I'm dead inside. Cause I think that video is dumber than shit. I'm sorry. I'm in a fucking bad mood.
Comments by Miss Anne Derstood
That's way cool, and it made me smile. Thanks!
Comments by The Absurdist
Awwwww... I knew you had a soft spot.
LOL. Never heard of this guy before, but the video was awesome!
Comments by This Mom
Comment WHORE.
Comments by Poppy
PS - Seriously, if you don't go through detox I'm going to sit on you while Karl deletes it for you.
Ask Dawg, if I sit on you you're not going anywhere.
Comments by Poppy
Not PMSing = happy and inspired
PMSing = That is so damn sad. Look at the kids in torn clothes. I can't stop crying. *sucks in breath while snot is pouring out of nose* Why can't I travel and dance like that? *sniff* I hate my life. Maybe chocolate will help.
Comments by Been there Done that
At first I was jealous that he got to so to so many different places. Then I cried because it's so fucking cool. Maybe I have PMS too.
Did anyone else notice the girl in the white capris in the London clip that was just moving her arms around while everyone else was dancing? That made laugh. As did the really hairy guy in Paris.
Comments by Finn
Awwww - we must be cycling together, because I have PMS, too! How sweet!
Haha
Seriously, you made me get all teary eyed at that video.
Revenge will be sweet...
Comments by Sybil Law
Dude is funny, but the music made me throw up a little in my mouth.
Comments by Winter
Two things I forget.
1. How would you think tht guy in Paris feels about having his one split second of internet fame being him falling on his ass?
2. Did you enjoy your visit to Brisbane Australia?
Comments by Jen
I pride myself on being able to say something sarcastic and mean - especially to something as awesome as this. Right now, however, I'm laughing too hard at DutchBitch's comment to think straight.
Comments by Special K
You're such a fucking girl. Thanks for making me smile this morning!
Comments by Tracy
Wow! That really was a happy video. If that doesn't make you smile I don't know what will.
Comments by Jay
After I realized he wasn't going to get raped by that whale or whatever it was... I finally relaxed and just enjoyed it.
Comments by AmyD
Amanda, I can't help it if I'm sensitive! *sniff*
Amber, I do think I'm susceptible to sympathy PMS.
Karl, this is the first I've seen him. I wish I had thought of that.
Squeaky Wheel, I know what you mean.
Janna, hmm. Better, probably.
Willie G, I'll give you a full refund.
Tasses, that would elevate you to ubergeek.
Kay, well, my penis is still hard. Doest that count?
Dave2, I plan on it now.
Hilly, damn all of you women making me emotional.
Tracy, I'll stab you back. I'm sympathy PMSing!
Christine, usually I'd be all cynical and shit.
Dan, well, I don't know if it beats it, per se.
Janna, dial-up? Where do you live, BFE?
Melanie, I didn't snivel. Close.
DutchBitch, I'll try that. Do you think it will hurt?
Todd, he got a sponsorship from Stride Gum.
Hello, doesn't everyone totally want you?
Britt, no, but can we watch Steel Magnolias and cry together?
Nat, the Internet can do anything nowadays.
Squeaky Wheel, thanks for the link.
ADW, besides, your tear ducts were shot off in the war.
Kyra, I bet you'd dance better.
Golfwidow, I don't know what that is.
Gwen, that's my goal!
TrishK, you too?
Jen, I've watched it a few times, too.
Student Teacher, he might have in the earlier two videos.
Maman, a smile and a Coke?
M.A.D., wow. Please stay away from sharp objects today.
Absurdist, way cool indeed.
This Mom, this is the first time I've heard of him, too.
Poppy, detox? Never!
BTDT, chocolate always helps.
Finn, I noticed the hairy guy, but not the girl.
Sybil, great, we have the same cycle.
Winter, the music was awesome!
Jen, oh, I dance much more reserved than that guy.
Special K, fucker.
Tracy, I am, I can't help it.
Jay, usually I'd say a video watching him get beat down by cops would make me smile, but not today.
AmyD, you're obsessed with sea animal rape recently.
Comments by Avitable
Only if you promise to actually cry.
And let me take pictures.
Comments by Miss Britt
Thanks for being soft today. I, for one, really liked that and it made me cry...but I'm just weepy at the sight of anything happy because it makes feel all mushy inside.
I'm a girl. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Comments by Lisa
I love this! Thank you for sharing.
Comments by Atomic Bombshell
Britt, I'll probably totally cry and no you can't take pictures! Fucker!
Lisa, that's a perfectly good excuse, too. Can I borrow it?
AB, most people think I share too much!
Comments by Avitable
yes, i love it too. when i was feeling BLAH this weekend it made me smile.
Comments by Crys
I will have to watch this at home where it will allow me to. Stupid work computers anyway! But I've been stalking your blog the last few days and love it!! Found you through Princepessa. Good humor etc. is always welcome in my day.
Comments by SuvvyGirl
That was a happy little video. How awesome to travel the world like that.
Comments by Sarah
You said:
"Janna, dial-up? Where do you live, BFE?"
Whatever that stands for, the answer is probably yes.
If it means "out in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of people who gaze longingly at sheep and goats," then the answer is certainly yes.
The crime rate is low, at least.
Unfortunately, so are the connection speeds.
Please don't hate me.
Comments by Janna
Very nice vid :)
Comments by Bethie
I love the fact that the Japanese girls are all dressed up in their cat outfits ;)
Comments by Bethie
Thomas: "What is that guy doing?"
Me: "He's dancing all over the world."
Thomas: "Is he going to dance at the beer store?"
Comments by Karen Sugarpants
My fave was the demilitarized zone in Korea. Too damned funny! Thanks, hon.
Comments by Coal Miner's Granddaughter
I'm LMAO! Not so much because of the title or the video itself as the What it's 'Filed under'!!
Soooo, is that your disclaimer???
Come now Adam, Let's share a pint of Ben & Jerry's and you can tell me Allllllllll about it! ;)
~ZZ
Comments by EveToYourAdamZZ
Crystal, I'm sorry you were feeling blah.
SuvvyGirl, thanks for the visit!
Sarah, and to dance like a 'tard!
Janna, BFE
Bethie, I noticed that!
Karen, so your son's into beer already?
Heather, yeah, that was a good one.
Greeneyezz, I'd rather have chocolate cake.

That was pure JOY. Thanks, Avi. I needed that.
Comments by Dragon

Comments by Katie
First thought: Adam is a fucking pansy.
Second thought: Awww...those poor kids.
Third thought: Damn Adam for this sappy shit when I am on the rag.
Fourth thought: WTF? Why are so many of us gals in your comments on the same cycle?
Fifth thought: How hot is it that I am in sweatpants, hubs' tshirt, no makeup, hair up in a clip, snot running freely, bloated and crampy with a Hershey bar in one hand and a Smirnoff in the other?
Face it..you all want it.
Comments by Stephanie
Duh. We're Canadian. At a year old he was caught drinking the dregs.
(Sitting beside the empties and slurping up the drops from the bottles) *gag*
Comments by Karen Sugarpants
Bossy, I am a lifesaver, what can I say?
Maria, are you all inspired now?
Kris, he has traveled more in the last three years than most people ever will in a lifetime.

Special K, Ms. Fucker it is!
Comments by Avitable
the love of my life sent the link to the video to me and I bowled. Not out of happiness. I just showed how much he does not love me. And wants to live like that infantile dude Matt. "If that doesn't make a person happy, then they are dead inside." Well I guess I am dead inside and outside.
Comments by Jura
Jura, so he wants to travel the world and dance?
