Nowadays with everything going on on the net, it takes a lot to impress me or shock me. I think I am getting older and tolerate a lot less.

There are people that go overboard with trying to be the next internet sensation without giving it much thought, and a lot just piggyback and copy whatever the next guy does or is doing. Originality is at an all time low.

But here's the game changer.

The other day, I was browsing and what I found was astonishing. It was extremely serendipitous. It was the perfect mix of precision, skill and humour. I couldn't believe it.

The team at Jimmy Fallon must have read my mind. Somehow they found the time to cut and edit world renowned news anchor Brian Williams rapping one of hip hop's most known songs.

And not only was it funny but it was amazingly on point.

With a serious face Brian Williams nonchalantly combed through Sugar Hill Gang's classic "Rapper's Delight". The two minute clip was one of the best clips I have seen in a really long time.

This is the change that I was talking about but for some reason I think people are extremely scared of change. Jimmy Fallon and his team proved that all it takes is a little bit of planning. As I continued watching, I was more and more impressed. The words and the music lined up perfectly. It almost made me look at Brian Williams in a different light. News got rhythm and I love it.

In an age of copying and following the trend instead of setting them, it took a new anchor and little bit of Jimmy Fallon to break the mold. Lets all follow this trend of being different. Theres nothing wrong with it.

We should all want to be different. So everyone jump on Brian's wagon and get a taste of the delight.
