Letter to Erin 20150422

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

Hi there, my beautiful Erin.  How are you feeling today, my beloved?  I'm sorry, but I couldn't do my voice training today- I had to take my Dad to the clinic.  Yeah.  But while I was waiting for him, I played the drum in the park.  In the evening, I cut the grass over at your house inshaAllah.  Someone put 3 banana hearts on a stump.  A banana heart is a banana flower.  At first I thought it was witchcraft and I was about to throw it into the firepit, but Floofy seemed to approve of it.  But what does a cat know.  Ya Allah, thank You for all the beautiful cats You have given me.  Please heal and protect them.

As you know, Bat Cat is a black and white cat with a black mask and white socks, and I have 2 Bat Cats.  Bat Cat I is totally independent: he doesn't need me at all, but he hangs out here anyway.  The other cats don't seem to have a problem with him, and he doesn't bother them.  He has bigger balls than Bob Cat, I think that's why.  In cat politics, the cat with the biggest balls wins.  Bat Cat III is the great observer.  Like the Watcher in the old X-men comics.  I saw a black cat and a white cat in my yard last morning.  They were prowling together, and fled together when I approached them.  What's the connection?  What does it mean?  It means, "Meow".

Do you remember what you were doing when you were newly born?  Well, I was active in the Salt Lake City music scene.  The scenesters in this video were the popular ones.  The SLC music scene back in 1989 was like high school to me: not only did I not fit in, I was LOATHED.  But I can't blame them.  I was as corrupt and insane as you would expect a troublemaker to be, my music wasn't that great and if I seem any better today, it's because Allah has mercy on me.  The goody two shoes conformists you see in this video were the popular ones, so it's no wonder me and Shadowplay are never mentioned.  It's tough being a rebel.  And even today, I'm more loathed than loved.  I guess high school never ends.

But today I have you in my life, Erin.  You don't know how much that means to me.  You simply just don't know.  So please don't be sad.  Please be patient and pray, because I love you and I need you.  I'm going to play Sims 3 now.  Getting there, Erin.  I need lots of money to build your house, and to give you a good married life.  Please pray.
