Sometimes I run across something on somebody’s blog that just makes me happy. And considering I spent the better part of yesterday in a car dealership watching in horror as a $21.95 New York State inspection morphed into a $645.00 service repair bill, and the fact that Zoe’s butt now has two cracks instead of just one, I need some happy.
I stumbled across this video yesterday on MommaWannabe’s blog. Now, it is very possible that everyone but me has already seen this video because I am always the last to know about anything. If you want the latest and greatest, be it in fashion, music, gossip or anything, stay far far away from me. If you want to know the latest and greatest six months after the fact when no one cares anymore, I’m your man. Or woman. Whatever.
Whenever there is something new, I won’t find out about it until six months after the other seven billion inhabitants of this earth discover it. That’s because they live inside the loop and I live approximately nowhere near it in a galaxy no one has invented yet.
So, if you have already seen this video, I’m sorry and I’ll try to understand if you drop me like a communicable disease because you have no patience with people who are a day late and a dollar short. I should have warned you that I never have a dollar on me. Just ask Helena … she was with me when I charged a 79¢ pack of gum on my MasterCard last week.
If you haven’t seen this video, it’s of a guy named Matt who is paid to travel around the world and get people to dance with him.
Is that cool or what? I want someone to pay me to do something. And no, shutting up doesn’t count. Besides, I don’t think anyone could afford me on that one.
I’m not sure what draws me to this video … the gorgeous scenery, the people from all walks of life, or the fact that Matt’s dance moves are freakishly similar to the ones Nate has used at every wedding we have ever attended. If I didn’t know for a fact that Nate’s passport had expired, I’d be a little suspicious.
And this music just takes me away. It makes me want to jump the next plane to the highest mountain with the largest volcano so that I can dance atop it amid the lava and sulfuric ash. It makes me feel adventurous and I haven’t felt adventurous since never.
This video inspires me.
I want to be Matt when I grow up. Except with girl bits.

I am even outside your loop’s loop! Had not seen it either.
There’s a loop?…..that’s amazing. (the video, not the loop).
PS Why was he on his on at Giants Causeway in N Ireland – that is just down the road from our cottage – I would have danced 🙂
You aren’t alone in your galaxy-I’m there too!! lol
LOL!! loved it andy!! watched it twice with james 🙂
hey!! almost forgot! she’s got 2 cracks in her butt?? sigh……
Oh no! I have actually already seen that! lol I really did enjoy it, though.
Loved this:
“If you want the latest and greatest, be it in fashion, music, gossip or anything, stay far far away from me.”
That was amazing. I am so going to share that with my friends!
Thanks for posting it.
I live way outside the loop too!!! I had not seen this. I wanna hear the car repair story!! LOL, I am sure it is a good one!
No, I hadn’t seen that before and I did enjoy watching it. Thanks!
I only saw it for the first time yesterday & I know people who saw it ages ago. Half the time I am never entirely sure where the loop is or if it even exists.
LOVED that video, Andrea! I’m a good 20 feet further from in-the-loop than you are! Thanks for sharing! Visiting via the DST blog train – visit me here: htpp://isladeangela.wordpress.com/
I have seen this video before, but only because my husband is well withIN the loop, and he tries desperately to keep pulling me into it. I’m a lost cause, but he tries.
Thanks for sharing it – I enjoy watching it over and over, as do my 18 month old and 3 year old. 🙂
Happy, Happy!
I laughed in joy. Thank you.
Nate dances differently than Matt.
Everyone has their own style.
Lancelin is 80km from where I live!! we saw a documentary to go with this clip a few months back.. totally frivolous, just something to smile about but it seems to be something we need doesn’t it
It is really uplifting huh? ;)Thanks for linking to me…
Your Loop illustration is so cute.
I remember watching Oprah years ago and she said ‘unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard of the macarena…’ Guess who had never heard of the macarena?
And, I’ve never seen that video, either.
I guess for once I’m in the loop! That was an awesome video!
Hi! I am the one who posted on DST about new scrap blogs to read. Thank you for sharing your blog! I am definitely subscribing 🙂
Talk about finding something on a blog that makes me happy – this post of yours made me happy. YOu are so FUNNY! Your drawing of the loop vs. you made me laugh so hard. For realz.
I have seen the Matt video, and his older ones too, but I won’t drop you like a communicable disease 🙂
I also wanted to mention that I forgot to link to my own blogs when I posted 🙂 My one on DST is my design blog so wanted to tell you about my others. My personal one with my almost hubby is http://ian-and-christie.com and my scrapbooking/crafts one is at http://ian-and-christie.com/craftychristie
Thanks again and I’ll be reading!
I only saw this last week so you are not too out of the loop! HMMM…Unless i am…?!?
Guess I’m out there floating around as I had not seen this either.
Loved it. It made me smile.
I’m outside the loop further than you are. This is a great video. I teared up with the space shuttle part. Wonderful. Why didn’t I think of that?! lol
Whoah. It’s manic. And fascinating. His about page on his website is delightfully humble. In the loop there’s a follow up video called Where in the Hell is Matt’s Girlfriend.
