If you haven’t explored the world of mashup music – you’re really missing out. In a VERY brief nutshell, Mashups are made when a DJ or a computer musician takes the music from one song and the a capella voices from another and lines them up to create a new song. The best mashups can make you think that the original songs don’t sound as good as the new creation. It’s kind of a slap in the face of the original artist, and completely illegal if pursued on the commercial market because of our wonderful music industry’s view on creativity at times.
Yet, it’s how I feel about myself. I am a mashup, on many different levels. I feel like (mainly from the words of others) someone took skills from three different professions and plopped them right inside me. I don’t fit in one peghole. I don’t have 12900 followers on Twitter hanging on my every tweet (heck, I don’t even have 100 yet), and yet people are asking my advice on tweeting. I don’t have a Ph.D in theology or anything, yet people still ask for advice. It’s a weird life, but it’s a life I know I can use to the best of my abilities.
I think this proves there is a God, but what do I know about THAT discussion, other than it tends to drift away from a God-centered discussion to pointless philsophic bullfighting when done by most people my age.
I know that the key to success is to use the best traits you have as well as possible. For me, I’m still sifting through all the mashed-up stuff trying to find what’s best for me from God.
