I must be premenstrual
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.
Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo.
ALSO: I'm guest posting over at Robin's blog today while she's on her honeymoon. Drop in and say hi!

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?

I love that guy. Don't know why, but I think it's freaking awesome that he goes around the world like that.

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.

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?

Then how about snarky, irreverent or perverted. Get with it here, we're not paying you to… oh wait a minute…
ahem… sorry

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!

Aw Avi don't go soft on us! :lmao:

You need to follow his blog! It's a fascinating insight into what goes into making his videos.

I'll come back when I'm not having my period.
:crazywife:

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. :lmao:

Well, crap.
If that doesn't make a person happy, then they are dead inside.

That certainly beats dolphin porn

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.

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.

Maybe you should stuff a tampon into your penis… ya know… just to be sure…

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.

matt totally wants me.
(i have always enjoyed his dancing videos, pms or not. dude has got it good. twks)

Awwww. Wanna make out?

Must be a hormonal day on the Interweb, I got all choked up and had to stop.

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.

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.
Reply
Wow. I would love to travel like that.
Reply
He did the dance on the Vomit Comet. I am jealous.
Reply
That's awesome! Thanks for making me smile first thing in the morning.
Reply
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?
Reply
I laughed. I cried. I watched it about 10 times. Of course, I actually do have PMS so make of that what you will.
Reply
He forgot to go to Guam.
Reply
Yeah.. I needed a smile.
Reply
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. :banghead:
Reply
That's way cool, and it made me smile. Thanks!
Reply
Awwwww… I knew you had a soft spot.
LOL. Never heard of this guy before, but the video was awesome!

Comment WHORE.

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.

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.
Reply
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.
Reply
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… :poke:
Reply
Dude is funny, but the music made me throw up a little in my mouth.
Reply
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?
Reply
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.
:dunce:
Reply
You're such a fucking girl. Thanks for making me smile this morning!
Reply
Wow! That really was a happy video. If that doesn't make you smile I don't know what will.
Reply
After I realized he wasn't going to get raped by that whale or whatever it was… I finally relaxed and just enjoyed it.

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?

AmyD, you're obsessed with sea animal rape recently.

Only if you promise to actually cry.
And let me take pictures.

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.
Reply
I love this! Thank you for sharing.
Reply
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!
Reply
yes, i love it too. when i was feeling BLAH this weekend it made me smile.
Reply
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.
Reply
That was a happy little video. How awesome to travel the world like that.

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.

First thought: Adam is a fucking pansy.

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.

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.

Jura, so he wants to travel the world and dance?
