Letter to Julia 20140303


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

Hello there, my beloved Julia and Erin.

I'm sitting here doing my taxes.  Yeah, I still have to file taxes even though I have a company income of zero.  Because Shadowplay is a legitimate business based in Malaysia, that specializes in music and global mass media.  More importantly, I seek to please Allah with music.  Therefore I must keep my business alive.  Who knows what Allah might do to global markets if I ceased to operate.  The banks might go kaboom!  I'm sorry you had to lag behind, but what to do?  I guess it's preordained, even if we were already married.

When we are married inshaAllah, you can file your taxes under me as my wife.  Of course this pertains to income you make after we marry.  Because the goal of our marriage is to slow down and stay put, you must understand and accept that we must stick together and avoid travel.  Make your business come to you.  No, I don't want to consume your hard earned money.  It's supposed to be my job to provide for you, so please make sure you keep your own bank accounts.  Again, I'm am trying to build a tourist attraction here and cannot travel, and you are my wife.  Any travel must be planned far in advance.

I love you, and I need you.
