i love my car!!! it's my best friend. 🐢 thinking of somebody a lot. 🐢 i love that the social security administration's emails feature the font optima. i don't know why i love it. i just do. ramadan kareem and jum3a mubarak. 🐢 iftar log to come, which includes egg omelet the way mom makes it, lentil soup last week, shake shack this week, and a big plate of spaghetti tonight. 🐢 mtv used to have this show called "diary" where musicians, entertainers, and other celebrities would talk about their "lives." they would frequently say something along the lines of "you think you know, but you have no idea," which was funny to me because i don't remember learning anything profound on that show. all of the celebs said that phrase, either during the intro or in the moment before they went to commercials (or both). there was an acoustic guitar playing in the background when they said it. kinda corny now that i think about it. i like the phrase outside of this context but after mtv diary turned it into their catchphrase it felt too rehearsed and played out. if i could adapt it into something more interesting i'd suggest that only one celebrity is allowed to say something that deals with this idea of knowing versus not knowing things. and rather than posing it to the viewer (who of course would not know much, especially in the early aughts), they would imply that they themselves may or may not "know" things, but they aren't allowed to show that they know, so over time, "knowledge" becomes an abstract and nebulous thing that's kinda buried and suppressed and appropriated when it suits certain people. which is applicable to more than just celebrity and entertainment, don't you think? 🐢 feels strange having to explain to people that i am not their property. 🐢 @proud congratulations on installing abelton live! i have always wanted to play with that tool but am intimidated lol 🐢 ~ ramadan mubarak ~
