This will make you smile. Lots.

Totally nothing to do with Aquaria; this guy from Seattle went around the world doing this goofy dance; the music, Praana, is by Gary Schyler. I defy you to watch and not laugh, or at least smile; it makes you happy.   Happy is good; suffering is bad. You'll have to cut and paste; can't figure out how to insert a hyperlink with this system.

Very awesome, now we know that Matt, and the half of the rest of the world can't dance. 8D

But seriously, besides the... sad dances sometimes, that was completely awesome.
God sees and knows everything, but at least he won't gossip about it.

Yeah, on his website, www.wherethehellismatt.com, he admits to being a terrible dancer (more like enthusiastic jogging), but his goofy enthusiasm is contagious. He epitomizes what my Teacher says are our two tasks in life: to take nothing seriously and to get maximum enjoyment out of every moment. Yee-hah!

If anyone is interested, the music from Matt's video is sung in Hindi (Alec remarked that Naija is a Sanskrit name), taken from a poem by Tagore, the famous Indian poet. Info below and a translation of the words. It's available on i-Tunes. Hey, Alec, is the Aquaria music ever going to be available on i-Tunes? Or anywhere?

Title: Praan
Artist: Garry Schyman
Album: Praan
Description: Music from "Where the Hell is Matt?" Lyrics from Rabindranath Tagore's poem Stream of Life:

 The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.
