I might just be the last person on earth to find about Matt, but I think that this guy deserves some more praise.

Matt (according to his site) “is a 32-year-old deadbeat from Connecticut who used to think that all he ever wanted to do in life was make and play videogames”.

After quitting his job back in 2003, Matt decided to explore Asia until the money he saved up ran out. During a trip to Vietnam one of Matt’s travel buddies gave him the idea to perform his (now quite famous) dance while he was filming:

The video eventually spread virally, and in 2006 the gum manufacturer Stride Gum got in touch with Matt to see if he was interested in doing another round of spontaneous dancing around the world - a trip they would pay for.

This video also became a viral success but Matt still wasn’t satisfied. After doing his last tour around the globe a lot of people wanted to participate while he was dancing. So he came up with the idea to do another round of dancing, now mixing in locals in his dance routine. And yeah, Stride Gum sponsored the whole thing once again:

So in the end Matt got two trips around the globe paid for and his videos have collectively been watched over 38 million times on YouTube. Friggin’ awesome!

And oh, he also wrote a book about his experiences with making the videos.

This stuff just cracks me up:

So apparently the Swedish crown princess is getting married or some shit (like anyone should really care anyway) and now the Swedish king’s asking for increased funding (well, tax money that is) to be able to finance the wedding.

All I gotta say is wow, we’re finally getting somewhere in Sweden! I’m just curious about what’s next… Funding science projects with the goal of genetically altering pigs to enable them to fly?

I’ll post tomorrow about today’s adventures at Taronga Zoo. G’night!

You’ve probably come here wondering what this is about. Basically, it’s yet another of those darn blog things (whoa, surprise surprise!).

This blog is about me, Sebastian Johnsson, my life, my goals and the various random stuff I’m up to. So who am I?

I don’t feel like being chatty so let’s drill down to the technical specifications:

• Name: Sebastian Johnsson
• Age: 23
• Nationality: Swedish
• Height: 190cm (about six foot two)
• Weight: 86kg (about 190 pounds)
• Major goals: Millionaire before the age of 30, being awesome in social interactions, getting a kick ass body, become proficient in Martial Arts, travel the world, beat the god damn 9-5 system, being location independent, work less than 10 hours per week, get the hell away from Sweden etc.
• Biggest fear: Waking up on my death bed and realize that I didn’t do the things I wanted in life.

So now when the formal introduction’s done, here’s what I’ll be writing about:

• Entrepreneurship
• Startups
• Internet Marketing
• Personal development (pickup, social dynamics and other fun stuff)
• Exercising (Weight lifting, dieting etc.)

As you probably can tell this blog isn’t going to revolve around one specific topic, it’ll be a fantastic potpurri of topics on a wide range of things mixed with some sweet ol’ randomness.

This is actually my first blog in English, so please bare with me. *kisses and hugs*
