Letter to Julia 20121030

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hi Julia. my beautiful young bride!  I pray you are feeling well, and taking good care of yourself.  There are 2 distinct rings around the full moon this morning.  I already guzzled all that sauerkraut I made, I'm sorry I didn't leave any for you.  That stuff sure goes fast, especially if you cook things in it.

As I told you before, I'm trying to put "wiser" vocals to "Shadowplay's Greatest Hits part 3: the Struggle to be Normal", because I discovered instrumental tracks on my hard drive, as I had lost all the masters when I lost my home studio in America.  There are 2 tracks without instrumentals, "Dragonfly" is one of them.  So right now I'm trying to double the old track, which isn't loud enough.  This is very difficult, not only because the song is difficult to sing to begin with, but I have to match the timing of the old vocal track which can't be heard properly, with new vocals that don't suck.  So I'm having a tough time with that right now, because everything I do sucks.  I can't justify myself.  I'm just trying to compensate for my imperfections.  None of us have the right to justify ourselves.  Allah is the One who purifies.

Now as I think more about it, you will have to bear this little house to some extent, no matter how much money pours in.  This is because of land issues.  There will be land issues no matter what country you live in.  Plus, it would take time to build the proper "Casa de Julia", and we will need to house you while we supervise the construction.  No, I don't have architecture yet.  I'm sorry, but I can't draw.  So, I pray you have a solid image for your house.  No, I'm not trying to justify myself.  I'm just trying to compensate for my imperfections.
