Jordan 23

Michael Jordan was my idol as a kid. Not in a real obsessive way, since I don’t seem to really obsess over anyone or thing, but I truly found him captivating. He is one of the main reasons I fell in love with basketball at a young age, and still love it to this day, well over a decade later! I watched him and wanted to pick up a basketball immediately and teach myself to play before later joining a team. The weirdest thing was that he stuck his tongue out all the time on the court, and it became his trademark. I was told by other people that I did the same thing! It was some subconscious thing, because I would not realize I was doing it, until people would tell me. I always found that to be interesting that MJ and I had that in common, since the “living life above the rim” was not an option for me! Now we have #23 in common. Yes it is my birthday and I am feeling sentimental, what about it?Funny how some random word, number or name triggers something in your brain, and brings up an old memory. The human mind never ceases to amaze. Is that arrogant to think that? Being human and all?
