Happy April 1st!
Waking up this morning I didn't even know we were in a new month. See the days are fusing together and I honestly lose track of what week I'm on. I have not left my house once in 2 1/2 weeks and I am going mad. I totally get it this coronavirus is real and it's dangerous but I miss seeing other faces. Nothing against my parents but like they aren't cutting it. It also sucks being under their roof again. In college I literally do as I please and don't check in with anyone but back home that is not the same reality. I feel like I'm 15 all over again and have no voice in my house which absolutely sucks. My parents and I are in a weird place where my dad still thinks I'm 12 and my mom realizes I'm 18 but loves treating me like I am two years old. This whole my house my rules thing is a lot to handle for such a long time and I cannot deal. All I know is this weekend I am getting in my car and at least going for a drive. I may meet up with some friends in the parking lot of a BJ's or something so I can have some other human interaction that isn't my parents.
I am so glad that today is April because I means March is done. For some reason I have always had beef with the Month of March and the coronavirus pandemic made this month drag on even longer than it normally does. It literally took me until an hour ago to figure out that today was April fools. I was all types of confused because I kept on seeing people put jokes on social media and pranking people and I was wondering why they were doing that. One thing that definitely threw me off was the fact that my brother came home today to drop something off and didn't prank me. He is infamous for pranking the family during April fools and he didn't today which not going to lie has me on edge. He is too relaxed for today which can only mean he is going to get me good tonight.
Interestingly one post on instagram is the reason why I figured out it was April fools. A verified rap account that posts new album release dates, concerts coming up etc in the rap world posted a rather interesting headline that literally shook me to the core. To set the scene a little bit it's important that I mention that I LOVE Kendrick Lamar with my entire heart. Putting it into words is legit impossible. For those that follow rap/like it know that Lamar hasn't released music since his DAMN album which was good but definitely not his best lyrical and story telling work. I know I have been waiting for him to stop producing all these great songs and albums from other artists and release his own heat to bring some joy into the year of 2020. I am also a big J Cole fan. I don't love him as much as Kendrick but I have him up there as one of the most talented rappers of our generation. Kendrick as well as J Cole while different in their rap style and delivery both have incredible lyricism, cadence, punch lines, flow among all other things that make them incredible.
Okay so now that I gushed about these two rappers back to the instagram post. It said that it is now confirmed that Kendrick Lamar and J Cole would finally be releasing their joint album. When I say that I screamed and spit out my water I am not kidding. I was sooo happy but then I thought wait a minute this can't be true. See this album was supposed to come out in like 2010. I went to the comments and saw people saying "ahaha Happy April fools" and my heart broke. I checked the calendar on my phone and indeed it was April 1st. I came to the realization that it doesn't matter whether my brother pranks me later on today, I already made a fool of myself by believing that this is a true reality. Now all I can say is Happy April fools to all of you too. :(
