The Album is not dropping 💧
Get us out of the box.
Hello there,
Do you remember us? A couple of *lobsters 🦞 trying to navigate through the journey of life and are back from the dead/ “vacay”.
While we were desperately trying to enjoy our Eid vacations 🏝, forgetting our embarrassing podcast attempt, an article telling us that travel and escape won’t solve all our problems emerged. It was sent through a friend, so naturally, we ignored it. We are not ready for another life lesson yet..
It kept appearing on our social media feeds however, and that’s when we knew. It must’ve been a sign from God. We have to read it now. After all, signs are our only source of enlightenment in life 🔆.
The article here, describes life as a box 📦 . A box of routine elements that narrate our lives. You wake up, go to work, come home, hang out with your friends/family if you’re lucky, and then end up in bed making scenarios about your “future”. And you know what the sad thing is? This box is part of you regardless of where you are at.
Traveling to Egypt *cough* *cough* or the US افهم يا فهيم WILL NOT MAKE YOU “HAPPIER”. Instead, we should be grateful and show gratitude for each routine element in our lives. This includes your job, business, health, loved ones, sugar, spice, and everything nice.
Gratitude … الامتنان 🤲🏼
What is it?
According to the internet, it is the quality of being thankful. We are thankful, extremely thankful actually … but doesn’t the utmost level of gratitude lead to settlement? Or is gratitude associated with a level of awareness that aligns the paths of continuous endeavours and “asceticism”? Can they be aligned though?
.. Questions. Questions. Questions ..
If only we can escape to a resort island, have a marvelous tan, and work as receptionists not because we need to, but because we want to. (our *current* dream profession).
PS: one of the writers decided to start reading again, hence, the SAT level of vocab used this time.
On a more important note, what is it with Kanye? 🥤
We are sure you are already aware of our obsession with the Kardashians, even though he is no longer part of the family, we still consider him to be one. Kanye west, the man, the myth, the legend. No house is free of one of his creations.
If you have been on the interwebs these past couple of weeks, you would have seen a social outcry for Kanye West to drop his album DONDA. In true Kanye style, he is not handling it the way a normal person would.. 🙄
His new album is named after his mom and has been teased almost two years ago in the Super Bowl…
Let us take you through a journey of the most interesting things happening in one of the greatest product launches we’ve ever seen… 🎢
Kanye started with live streaming his process of finishing the album, he is not live streaming from his home, but from a room in a Stadium where he is paying allegedly 1 million dollars a night for a room like this;
He hosted a live listening event in this stadium, where he was just doing weird stuff. “Bermuda triangle” weird 👹 See for yourself:
“While West said nothing to the crowd during the session, his mother’s voice punched through in interludes, daring to say, as she said her son had told her to, whatever she wanted. He mostly stood, legs hip-width apart, but sometimes he squatted or stomped around, every now and then dancing within a spotlight that was sometimes a circle, sometimes a triangle and sometimes rectangular.” https://variety.com/2021/music/news/inside-kanye-west-donda-listening-atlanta-1235026392/
He delayed the release of the album because he was not yet satisfied with it.. A perfectionist we see.. something we can relate to. Wait, does this make us fit for the illuminati? 🏃🏽♂️
So what makes him (or his Qareen) brilliant?
He embraces the “scarcity culture”, the countdowns, the waiting, the need to own one or few of whatever he puts out. He is even making Gap, cool, GAP!
He is a story-teller;
The mysterious persona 🌀
He barely speaks. So do we 👀
He is a Cultural Movement.
He doesn’t often show us his face. يحب الستر
Had beautiful kids with an Armenian Influencer. We think her name starts with a K.
