Just imagine getting paid to spend your life traveling around the world dancing with the local people (and one oddly-coordinated seal), especially if you're an absolutely terrible dancer who usually looks like you're doing the Funky Chicken dead drunk.
I stumbled into the story of Matt Harding on, strangely enough, my fav astrophysics site. Matt describes himself as a "35-year-old deadbeat." He's been lucky enough to pull this off for almost 10 years now, by finding sponsors who use the video footage in tv commercials and such. He's also a YouTube sensation with one of his videos reaching more than 40 million views.
His latest video is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pwe-pA6TaZk. He also has his own YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/mattharding2718?feature=results_main. There you can find many other similar videos.
His story is at http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/about, and his FAQ are at http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/about/faq.
A fair warning about that first video. You're going to SMILE a lot, you WILL clap your hands, and you'll inevitably WANT to get up out of your chair and DANCE the Funky Chicken and other dances along with Matt and his crowds...
So, let go of your inhibitions! Smile! Clap! And DANCE! Life is Good!
You are really going to say the other blog is dead, when this article has been up for 3 days and this is your first response? Freaking hilarious!

ReplyDeleteAwesome Chris
ReplyDelete<< Awesome Chris >>
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
<< You are really going to say the other blog is dead, when this article has been up for 3 days and this is your first response? >>
ReplyDeleteYeah, occasionally I drop a turd.
But the current total of four comments is still more than Zeeke's blog has gotten over the last MONTH. And it's more than the TOTAL for Vomit's last FIVE articles.
That duesn't matter. By your own standards the number of comments this article had after three days says this blog is also dead once in a while.
ReplyDelete<< That duesn't matter. >>
ReplyDeleteIt certainly dues.
<< this blog is also dead once in a while >>
Once in awhile? Sooooo, walking back your earlier comment...
Keep trying and someday you'll get within barking distance of the truth. Well, perhaps as to this blog. We both know you'll never admit that Zeeke's and Vomit's are virtually comatose.
Heck, you were probably still bragging about your room the day before it imploded. BTW, how's that whole "the Zombies moved to Facebook" thing working out for y'all?
Again, everyone who comments is not one of your "zombies". I am really quite tired of explaining that to you. Although at your advanced age I suppose it's permissable that you forget things. The only time you get a lot of responses is when YOU are bashing someone. That says a lot about you and your readers. I guess that old saying is true...there is no fool like an old fool.
ReplyDelete<< Again, everyone who comments is not one of your "zombies". I am really quite tired of explaining that to you. >>
ReplyDeleteThen stop explaining it to me. See, wasn't that easy?
<< I am really quite tired of explaining that to you. >>
ReplyDeleteBTW, as long as you remain a chicken-shit coward hiding behind an Anonymous profile, I'll feel free to call you anything I damn well please.
<< The only time you get a lot of responses is when YOU are bashing someone. That says a lot about you and your readers. >>
ReplyDeleteDo you mean readers like YOU, who come here solely to bash me?
And "lot" is, of course, relative. My recent article on pretty flowers, for example, got *35* comments, which is about a year's worth for Zeeke.
<< Although at your advanced age I suppose it's permissable that you forget things. >>
ReplyDeleteDo you mean like how YOU keep conveniently forgetting my explanation about anonymous cowards such as yourself? Really, don't you tire of repeating the same old obviously-dumb shit?
<< there is no fool like an old fool >>
ReplyDeleteSeriously, how does it really feel being such a COWARD that you have to hide while posting to an internet blog? Do your "friends" point and laugh at you regularly? Have you always been a COWARD, or is this something new for you?
Do you also send anonymous emails to people at work you don't like 'cause you're terrified that they will find out who the local Idiot is? Do you call up strangers with your caller ID blocked just to say stupid shit to them?
Inquiring minds, yada yada...
That's a record! Five rebuttals for one paragraph. Way to go! Great way to get that response count up.
ReplyDelete<< That's a record! Five rebuttals for one paragraph. >>
ReplyDeleteIt's not even close. Zeeke's personal best is about 35.
And BTW, it's interesting to note that you didn't even bother trying to refute any of the five.
I thought it was pointless. You all are so obsessed with each other, I'm sure anything i pointed out to any of you would meet with complete denial.
Delete<< You all are so obsessed with each other... >>
DeleteI'll yield to your evident expertise on being obsessed.
<< I'm sure anything i pointed out to any of you would meet with complete denial. >>
Does that mean you'll be leaving and never return? << cough >>
