This video fascinated video me before. More recently, I saw it on Tara Cain’s blog.
Dancing
Following Matt’s Lead
The video fascinates me. The same damn dance and music, over and over. Fascination, something to gnaw with my beaver grin. Venture to Matt’s blog, and examine his extensive histories of travel. More eye-bugging fascinations for me, in the way that graphic images and strange news fascinate me. I took some time to realize it though.
At first, I marvelled with envy. Look at the places he’s been! And I wonder, confused: how could he afford it (really, how could I afford it). And I mumble with delight—he does the same dance with the same music, over and over. I give him humble credit though….his about page reveals a pretty nice fellow.
Then it struck me. I don’t do that because I don’t want to do that. It conflicts with my principles and with my pursuits. Shwew! I’m off the hook.
Now I can enjoy his tenacious dance a bit more.
Other Dances
If you maintain some jealousy, or Matt’s dance irritates you, the next one is for you. Enjoy.

I too find this video fascinating and my reactions too reflect exactly what you have felt. I wish that I could go to all the places that Matt has been to.
Thanks for dropping in on my blog. I quite like yours here and intend coming often and commenting when I can.
Shall pop in and check out both Matt’s and Tara Cain’s blogs.
Cheers.

I love the first video. Every time I see it, I kind of well up. For no reason at all. I don’t want to do it, but the joy on the faces of his participants gets to me.

I guess the extraordinary can be in the ordinary. Fun.

LMAO @ the video. I don’t think Tara has spotted this yet. I think she’d like it though.
I saw your comment on her blog and followed the link. Glad I did. Dave.
