where the Hell is Matthew Harding?

Awhile ago, Jason told me about a video blog of a guy who was filiming himself dancing around the world. At first, I thought it sounded a bit cheesy but I finally just got around to checking out this guy's blog.

HOLY CRAP! After watching the first video, I actually began to cry. Now, I've been called the Ice Man on more than one occasion, due to my aversion to crying. However, there was no holding it all in this time. This guy has traversed the globe so many times and done his stupid little dance with people from just about every culture you can imagine. Its such a powerful series of images. It show's just how beautiful our planet is and reminds us all of just how similar we are.

After a bit of research, I found out that this guy has been doing this for a couple of years already. He was a gamer who was credited with the concept for a game called "Destroy All Humans" and he didn't want that to end up being his legacy so he eventually quit his job to do this project. I'm not sure when or where the Stride Gum sponsorship came in, and I don't really care.

Here's the link to his blog. Do yourself a favour and check it out.
