Nansi into okumele uyazi ngami. Angikholelwa emilingoni, kufana nokuthi angikholelwa ezipokini, ekubhuleni ngezinkanyezi noma ezizweni ezinozwela. Nokho...angikwazi ukubheka eceleni. Lapho entsha Izimfihlakalo Ezingaxazululiwe noma ithiyori ye-UFO iyehla, ngidinga ukufunda ngakho konke ngaso leso sikhathi, ngizijezise ngokunakekela (I-Cancer Yakudala!) futhi ngivale ikhasi ngalinye ngokuvula okungacelwanga Ngiyazi ukuthi konke lokhu kuyi-hooey kodwa…
O, futhi ukuze wazi nje, ngizizwa ngendlela efanayo ngokuzisiza/ukuzenza ongokoqobo. (Angazi...mhlawumbe ngibamukela kakhulu abantu bangaphandle.)
Futhi-ke, bekungokungabaza kanye nethamo elinempilo lokuthi ake sibone ukuthi yini yonke ingxabano engahlala phansi ukuze ngibuke. In & Of Itself , Ubuciko bokusebenza kukaDerek DelGaudio bubonisa i-cum identity treatise esakazwa manje Hulu . Umbukiso obukhoma, oqoshwe phakathi nobusuku obuningi (okungenzeka ukuthi ukukhombisa ukuthi bezingekho izitshalo zezethameli), amavidiyo avela enkundleni yemidlalo yaseshashalazini, eyadlala eNew York kusukela ngo-2016 kuya ku-2018, futhi zombili izinguqulo ze-IRL ne-Hulu zaziqondiswe ngu. UFrank Oz, umdidiyeli nomenzi wefilimu owaziwa kakhulu ngokuphimisa uMiss Piggy.
Ithesis emaphakathi iwukuthi sonke sinobunikazi esidlala ngabo—nomzabalazo wangaphakathi wokusebenzisa lobo bunikazi ngokuhle noma okubi (lokho uDelGaudio akubiza ngokuthi inja nempisi). Lapho amalungu ezethameli kungena, akhetha ikhadi elishoyo odongeni—nginguthisha, ngingowokufika, ngiyisehluleki, futhi lobu bunikazi bufika ukuze buzomaka ubusuku bonke, futhi buyokwenza umsebenzi wobuciko. In & Of Itself' s kakhulu ukushaya-umqondo wakho-mzuzu. Bese, okwenzekayo umbukiso womuntu oyedwa ohlale eguquguquka phakathi kokuxoxa indaba yendabuko, ukulandisa komuntu siqu kanye nombukiso womlingo wendabuko/ongajwayelekile : I-DelGaudio yenza isitini segolide sinyamalale esiteji, futhi siphinde sivele ezimpambanweni zomgwaqo ezingahleliwe e-Manhattan, kodwa futhi ubonisa indlela asebenzisa ngayo ukukhohlisa ukuze abeke umpheme futhi awenze kubonakala sengathi ukhipha amakhosi amane emoyeni omncane. Lokhu, uyachaza, njengoba sibheka izandla zakhe ngokuzimisela ukuzama ukubamba umgilwa esenzweni, kuwumnyombo wobunzima bakhe siqu. Ingabe uyazijabulisa izilaleli zakhe, uyazibuza, noma uyazikhohlisa? (Inja, impisi, yada yada.)
Kunezenzo zomlingo nezimo zengqondo eziningi kulo mbukiso ezijabulisa ngempela ukuzibona—futhi ukuzichaza lapha kungalimaza noma ubani ongakabuki. Kodwa iqhinga elikhulu likaDelGaudio, afuna sicabange ngalo, yikhono lakhe lokusenza sibheke ngaphakathi kubunikazi bethu. Kuyo yonke le minyaka, unamalungu ezithameli akhala ngokuzizwa kwawo siqu, futhi uyabonakala bona ezingeni elijulile, lokuthi bangobani ngempela. (Kuyaphawuleka futhi ukuthi abanye osaziwayo abakhulu baboniswa bedabula futhi bekhala esikrinini, phakathi kwabo uTim Gunn kanye Bill Gates .)
Futhi lokhu, oCancer nabo abazwelayo , yilapho sihlukana khona. Ngoba kungalesi sikhathi lapho inhliziyo yami yetshe yaba lukhuni khona, i-antenna yami ye-bullshit yakhuphuka futhi waqala ukungilahlekela. Bheka, isenzo sikaDelGaudio saqala ukubukeka singaphansi njengomlingo futhi njengesonto elikhulu, noma u-Tom Cruise egxuma esiteji Magnolia. Sengiphilile! Sengiphilile! Ngicishe ngizwe izithameli zihlabelela. Futhi yonke into yavele yazwakala…icky.
Ukuze kucace, ngakhala ngibuka In & Of Itself . Kodwa ngisho nangemizuzu emihlanu kamuva, ngaqala ukuzizwa nginaso. Phela, ingabe isangoma ku-Hulu singitshela ukuthi ngingaphezu kwamalebula ami ngempela lokho kuyambulo? Ingabe isimemezelo sokuthi ubuwena bunezici eziningi sinesibindi ngempela?
Ungangizwa kabi—ngisho nomuntu oqumbile njengami uyakujabulela ukuzizwa elawulwa futhi uyakujabulela ukungazi ukuthi iqhinga lenziwa kanjani. Kodwa ngokuzayo, ngingathanda ukuthi ukukhohlisa kuqhamuke ekubeni athole i-ace emkhonweni wami noma ukuqagela usuku lokuzalwa lukamama. Uma ngidinga iseshini yokwelashwa, ngizobonana nomelaphi.
OKUhlobene: Okukodwa Iphathi Yakho Yeholide Eshodayo… Ingabe Isazi Ngengqondo?
