In Michael Jordan's words: The baskets just got more round, it was like shooting into the ocean. Hmmmmmm
But we don't just see it in sports and in music, we also see it in academics, food preparation, dancing, we see it happen in times of trouble, we see it come through in times of love, we see it even when someone is running from the cops, we see it everywhere.

Some of the best dances came up through there and sometimes when you ask the people to do a certain dance again, they say they can't. This ain't scripted.
