Numa Numa Dance by Gary Brolsma





I would have to say this is my alltime favorite Video that has gained overnight success on the Internet. Imagine waking up one morning to find out a video you sent to an online friend had flourished the world. An involuntary celebrity at the tender age of 19 left Gary severely depressed. However the "unwilling and embarrassed Internet Celebrity" settled into his unsought fame by 2006; The Numa Numa Dance by Gary Brolsma is the second most watched video since the Internets creation.

What I see in Gary is a young man who was able to be himself in the privacy of his own home. I see his youthfulness allowing him to be playful; something many of us lose as we age. For myself, I have gone to You Tube many times over to watch this video.

Well, just after I posted this, I found yet another one I truly like of Numa Numa. Their youthfulness and the fun they are having is what I am drawn to in this...

How refreshing - we should all be having that much fun in the privacy of our own homes - and out!!!!

Yep, but the poor guy!! That was a lot of attention for such a young fellow. And many of the posts across the web were cruel. I am glad he had finally come to terms with it and embraced it.

He looks as if he was having tons of fun!!

People can be disgusting sometimes - yes? It's too bad we let people influence us to the point we don't have a good time all the time (of course in appropriate ways...not hurting anyone else!)
