When I came across this video I couldn't help but be inspired about it. Matt Harding is:
Matt is a 31-year-old deadbeat from Connecticut who used to think that all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames. Matt achieved this goal pretty early and enjoyed it for a while, but eventually realized there might be other stuff he was missing out on.
To make a long story short, Matt (with the help of a company called StrideGum) went around the world in 14 months, visiting 42 countries...and danced with thousands of people. Looks like he had a lot of fun.
Do you guys have a "big" dream you'd like to do one day? Mine I think is traveling. Instead of dancing with strangers it would be cool to hang out with the people I interact with every day.

Poor Matt, you would think after 14 months and 42 countries he would've picked up a new dance.
Inspirational and good for him though.

His Xbox Live name is BadDancer, it's kind of a trademark with him so he thought it would be funny. He's a game developer. I wonder what he's going to do now.

I'd imagine he'll continue to pimp for Stride gum... ;)

Funny. I saw this video this past weekend when I randomly found it on YouTube (in the "what people are watching" flash bar at the top of the page). By Tuesday, I've seen it not only here, but on about 12 other websites I frequent. So THAT'S how viral videos work...
