Hegel's mashups

Ok the idea of dialectics is that to reach a sythesis you have to start with a thesis and then an antithesis and then in our buzz terms is known as a mashup. You mash 'em up into one, so synthesis is alot like what commonly refered to as a mashup. Clear?

Ok, this morning, I was thinking alot about my skill and love of acting and how it had gone to waste. Even past teachers noticed this skill, including a 2nd grade teacher, a 5th grade teacher and my music lit teacher who assigned me opera thifnking that my "dramatic flare" as my dad calls it would find a home. I did notice something peculiar though, but let me start with a leading passion SCUBA. Why on earth would I love it so much when I am afraid of the things that live in the water, they're just wierd! Well, I love SCUBA because it combined so many of my interests into one. It required a lot of skill or physical stamina and agility and mathmatics and science and a whole lot of planning, and it gave me something to look forward to during the week. it was my goal o make money so that I could support my habit of diving. You get to explore alot. I love t think of the oceans as our last frontier, I think diving paraleels being an astronaut, with out all the special clearance and training.

Since I was hospitalized I have not been able to dive, although not having a uterus ought to make me a great candidate, but my real talents that I have notice thus far, which have remained. I take this as a sort of hint as to what I ought to do.

I thought that I really liked poetry. I really loved music. And I always loved to act. Well, I suppose that music performance is just a mashup of poetry and acting. I was listening to a great performance and was being critical then it occurred to me that most performers, musicians, do not actually write or mean the words they sing, but rather put on a show pretending, like and actor, to mean what they are saying, but they don't, not really. Ah hah!  It was so obvious, and I consider myself a slueth! Fooey, the clues were right before me all long but I just now realized it, because I was studying what makes others such great performers, while I am not great and do not know how to start.
