Where the hell is Matt (2008)

Matt dances around the world. It is quite artful this time.

Huh.

Is it bad that when I wandered in this posted, I was thinking of matt, SE's creator? And just where the hell is he anyway?

Not doing this, I'm sure.

Likely got irritated that his creation only seemed good for goading him into stupid-ass Mac vs. PC debates.

sacrelicious said @ 10:01am GMT on 22nd Jun
but the point is it is good for that, and in the end that's what really matters.

Baxter_UK said @ 10:04am GMT on 22nd Jun
Bend over, I'll show you what end really matters.

Cry, fucker?

Or cry "fucker"?

Wow....I wish I had that kind of time/money.

sacrelicious said @ 10:02am GMT on 22nd Jun
my thoughts exactly. I resent him soooooo much!

Stride gum has been giving him a free ride around the world for the last couple of these videos

oh I see how it is: this heart-touching moment of global unity brought to you by corporate monoliths!

chdb said @ 6:36am GMT on 23rd Jun
You mean like most operas, plenty of museums, et cetera?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with corporate sponsorship of art or sport if the branding is kept tastefully off to one side, and you wouldn't know Stride sponsored this unless you did some research. That's the type of corporate citizenship we need more of, not less.

Resplendent_Elk said @ 12:44am GMT on 23rd Jun
Is there anyone here who wouldn't completely whore themselves out for the same opportunity?

I'd do anything short of travelling in a suit that makes me look like any kind of food.

With the possible exception of a sushi suit.

But that's it.

Well, the secret to Matt's trick is that he realized that pretty much anybody in the First World who doesn't have dependents does have that kind of time and money; he worked for three years, saved up money, then quit, stashed his stuff at family and friends' places, and just took off.

He travels very cheaply for the most part because he's willing to sleep and eat in non-luxurious surroundings, and as time went on the goodwill he generated paid him back tenfold. The corporate sponsorship just made the second trip happen sooner, that's all.

He's not doing anything that most people couldn't do, if they were so inclined. You want to spend a solid year traveling? Work hard for two years, don't waste money on booze/cigarettes/parties/digestible pop culture/et cetera, and do it.

Seriously. Realistically, we're living in the last decade when travel like this is still going to be economically possible. If you want to do it, do it. Nobody is stopping you but you.

I envy his traveling around the world for years, though I don't envy the inevitable return home to no job or money in the bank.

Resplendent_Elk said @ 12:31am GMT on 23rd Jun
That's actually not bad. I did it once, stayed in my parents' house for a month until I found a job and an apartment, and then I was back to my old life.

It doesn't take much forethought to set this up, so it's a weak excuse not to travel.

kang said @ 1:00pm GMT on 22nd Jun
Yes, be an internet star for fifteen minutes NOW! It is so worth it!

Todomanna said @ 6:06pm GMT on 22nd Jun
Or have fun, explore new places, learn new things, and fuck beautiful foreign (to you) women. And then post photos on SE. At least of the women. Naked.

If that was all you got out of that video, I pity you..

I loved Gurgaon, India, and Papua New Guinea.

Wow, over three years later and still going....

Because she's the only one who doesn't dance?

nah, he's too much a part of that "batshit insane" clique.

Heh, a friend of mine named Matt just spent 8 months traveling around the world. Different Matt though.

I have another friend named Matt. He doesn't have arms or legs and he hasn't been around the wrold. Now that I think of it it's more of a nickname. :P

Hmm, I just spent 16 months trvelling halfway around the world, and my name isn't even matt!

I know his videos are such a simple concept, but they never fail to make me feel better about the world.

KingCrab said @ 2:38am GMT on 23rd Jun
This is one of those odd things. If someone told me about it, I would assume I would hate it, but watching it does make me feel better about the world.

happyman said @ 5:08pm GMT on 22nd Jun
Wow, I'd actually like to see a map of all the places he's been to with pins on them.

At first I thought you said 'Wow, I'd actually like to see a map of all the places he's been to and piss on them.' Damn these morning eyes!

EPT said @ 7:33pm GMT on 22nd Jun
Dammit, now he has a corporate sponsor he just does the same 'safe' dance all the time. I miss the old Matt with his varied unco dances...

Still nifty, though.

krimz said @ 7:45am GMT on 23rd Jun
safety dance!

Resplendent_Elk said @ 7:43pm GMT on 22nd Jun
This makes me happy to watch. And it makes me realize it's time to go travelling again.

dalek said @ 1:45am GMT on 23rd Jun
That is the happiest thing I have seen in a long time. I fucking needed that. thanks poster and thanks Matt.. I got to go give the world a bear hug for being fucking awesome sometimes.

+1 for having a good time, but the music was a bit much.
