The cell phone and the portable computer

Wow.  My computer blew up its power supply, so I can't work at Second Life.  Suddenly, I have my nights free.  I spent last night catatonic and gaping, watching TV.  What to do with all this extra time?  Am I really a workaholic?  Do you want to make love?  I guess God has my taking a break of seclusion away from the crowd.  Second Life was getting either too faggy or too many young girls.  I prefer the company of my wife.  Well it seems that l have been forced into a greater isolation, so there is no more "meet and greet" for now.  The only way to connect with me is through my wife.

Oh, you're not here.  Duh.  I think I'll spend my nights playing bass while I watch TV, and work on the next album.  I already have the songs and the story written, but I need to clean it up.  I need to record it, of course.  I need a drum set.  Hey, I'm starting to get the hang of writing on this smartphone.  I like the word assist feature.  I used to use this smartphone as a phone, but I got sick of receiving calls while I was trying to play a game, so I took the SIM card out, and put it in a Nokia brick.  So I have a smartphone as a portable computer, and a phone that's just a phone.  My modem is also portable and a Wi-Fi transmitter, so I use that to connect to the Internet.  I've figured out how to upload files InshaAllah, so I can add some color to these posts.  I need a new computer, ya Allah!  Something that can handle virtual reality....

Natty, what beautiful shoulders you have.  What a dreamy apparition roaming the night you are.  And in Paris too.  What a fairytale.  I just want to reach out and lift your hair....  Oh no, I'm starting to sound like that Carlos guy!

Emergency news flash!

My computer blew up!  Oh dear, the power supply burst into flames.  There was a loud pop, and smoke, then it shut down.  I'm writing this letter on my smartphone right now.  In fact, all my Internet is being handled by my smartphone.  So Second Life is completely out of the question at this time.  I won't be posting many photos or videos either, so please forgive me if only my words seem inadequate.  I don't know when I will be able to get a new power supply.  InshaAllah this means I will be getting a new and better computer.  I hope all is well with you.  I love you.

Coconut as staple food? Part 2

Erin honey, I always thought of you as having the courage to do what you need to do when it matters.  Otherwise, fish swim with the flow as do I.  You can just stand behind me, as you are supposed to do.  Right now, I'm typing with one hand because I'm holding a cat with other.  I have female cats, you know.  I swear, humans need at least 2 pairs of hands as they get older, maybe even another pair growing out of the ankles.  Anyway, what's for lunch today?  I am still inundated with young coconuts, so I have been eating that.  Last night I made a coconut cole slaw, with chopped coconut, garlic, ginger, and hot peppers.  Add salt and pepper.  No mayo needed.  It was awesome!  I had burgers and dough, so I made fresh tortillas from which I made beef and coconut cole slaw wraps.  Delicious!  Easy on the stomach!  Filling!  Alhamdulillah!

Hey Natty honey, how are you feeling?  I told you to take France, did I not?  You must be having an exciting time right now, I envy you so much.  You're beautiful, and you're having lots of fun.  Now calm your heart, Sweetie.  Don't worry, because I'm with you and I always think of you and of how beautiful you are.  Make sure you get as much rest as possible, even though life is a party.  Take naps.  Whenever you feel drowsy, sit back on a chair and close your eyes.  Don't try to sleep, go straight into a dream.

 

 

 

Coconut as staple food?

Hi Honey!  What's for lunch?  I had coconut cream of chicken soup for lunch today.  Yeah, my Mom really loves baby coconut juice as you may know, so yesterday I harvested one of the trees over at your house inshaAllah.  Harvesting coconuts is usually tough work- do you know how much each coconut weighs?  I definitely don't want them falling on my head.  But yesterday, my saw on a stick cut through the stem like a hot knife through butter, and the whole bunch fell straight down at once: 17 coconuts.  Now young coconuts have mostly juice and the older ones we harvest the meat, and these coconuts turned out to be mostly meat.  The meat is too soft to scrape, so I put the meat in the blender with some water, and produced coconut paste/puree.  My Mom gets excited about coconuts, but not necessarily in a positive way.  She only likes coconut juice and coconut milk (which is the meat strained into milk), and she doesn't want to accept my coconut blend as a thick coconut milk anymore.  But it took 7 coconuts to produce one jug of juice for her, and the rest is all meat!  What do I do with it?  I made coconut cream of chicken soup.  I had some chicken bones, so I put that into the coconut blend which was simmering with chopped garlic, butter, and finely diced potato.  I fished the bones out after a while, and picked off the meat to put back into the soup.  I ate the soup with chives and pepper.  It tasted exactly like cream of chicken soup but with the texture of rice porridge, except that the grains had the crunch similar to fresh carrots.  Oh, I should have taken a snapshot, but I was too busy eating it!  It really did look and taste good.  Very filling.

Natty, only the French would wear a dress like that.  Why didn't they give you a bra to wear with that type of dress?  It wouldn't be too out of place I think, especially if the bra was high quality.  It's undoubtedly pretty, but where would you wear a dress like that?  Oh yeah, in France.  But even French women are too modest to wear dresses like that in public without a bra.  Maybe a nude beach?  But you're not naked!  Without a bra, that dress is haute couture.

 

 

 

Qur'an 20170928

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

12.  Truly do you marvel, while they ridicule.

13.  And when they are admonished, pay no heed,

14.  And when they see a Sign, turn it into mockery,

15.  And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery!"

16.  "What?  When we die, and become dust and bones, shall we be raised up?"

17.  "And also our fathers of old?"

18.  Say, "Yes, and you shall then be humiliated."

19.  Then it will be a single cry, and behold, they will begin to to see!

20.  They will say, "Ah! Woe is us!  This is the Day of Judgment!"

21.  This is the Day of Sorting Out, whose Truth you denied!

Kittens!

Aw Erin, I love you.  I love you so very much.  It's been exciting for you recently, so please make sure you give your heart some relaxation time.  I'm kind of hurt that you would prefer to talk regularly to strange guys rather than me.  Am I so hard to talk to?  I can do most of the talking.  Perhaps meeting in Second Life is too much to ask, but I have to be there anyway.  I would give you my email, but I'm not going to post it on your Instagram.  I still get spied on, but at least it's not as public as a blog.  Meet me in SL, and I'll give you my email OK?

Natty, that does look rather French.  You must be super busy, so please make time to rest.  If you feel drowsy, take naps like I told you.  Just sit back somewhere (you would smudge your makeup if you put your head on the table), and close your eyes.  Don't try to sleep- go straight into a dream.

Pina, that's a nice sexy photo.  But real boys don't bother covering their chest like that...

Floofy darling offered me some very nice praise yesterday.  I was voice training, and she was sleeping away somewhere around my feet as usual.  Then she suddenly got up and went pawing away at the speaker, meowing and looking for kittens!  I knew she was looking for kittens, because she's had kittens before.  I was so pleased because she thought my voice sounded like a kitten!  Alhamdulillah.

 

 

 

Catch a cold?

It's supposed to get colder now, so please dress warm,  No more hanging out at the mall in a bikini.  I'm writing rather early today, I dunno it's just a go-with-the-flow kind of thing.  I got my morning chores done, and I cleaned out my house with the engine blower.  That's a handy tool.  I don't expect you would tolerate using that, but it definitely moves more dust than a vacuum cleaner, plus it takes less time which is great for a lazy butt like me.  I have a few errands to run.  I have to do some shopping for my Mom, then pick up a prayer schedule over at the Mufti's (he's the boss Islamic official) office.  Back in the old days, people would look at the position of the sun to know the prayer time, but nowadays everything has been calculated and computerized.  It was a slow day on Second Life yesterday.  Monday you know, but I hung around for a few hours like I'm supposed to.  Oh, I found a use for that failed lentil chili!  Add enough anchovy bouillon and it becomes quite palatable, then I sauteed some chicken liver in butter then added it to the lentils and ate it with fresh tortillas, and it turned out to be delicious!  What an unexpected turn of events.   Well, I'm going to take a shower.  You have a great day, OK?

 

 

 

Life in the Public Eye

Oh dearest, that poor sod seems to be madly in love with you, huh?  And who can blame him, you're so beautiful.  That's what it appears to be, so I'm going to have to take things at face value.  He seems like an intelligent and educated person, and that you have known and communicated with him for a while already.  So you feel sorry for him?  That's just who you are, you're too nice.

Let me tell you a story about old friends who change.  I used to know this guy (let's call him "Pizza Guy") when I was younger, he was intelligent and educated and we were friends, we used to hang out a lot, I used to bum rides home from him, and so forth.  One Halloween, I was out on a date (she's a pretty blonde, of course).  Back then I still looked good in a dress, so I was wearing this purple and cream suit which was a favorite of mine.  We went to a club, and Pizza Guy happened to be there at the club as well.  He joined us at our table, and we all yakked about nothing in particular.  Then out of the blue he said to me, "I want to kill you" in front of my date, several times.  I guess we're not friends anymore.

Remember that snapshot of the river I showed you?  It wasn't black, it was mud- slinging mud.  So I want you to stop communicating with that hohmoon37 guy.  Let him know that he must stop contacting you, or he will be reported to the police.  If you choose to continue talking with that guy, then you will give the impression that you have chosen to marry him (whether you want to or not) to me, your bosses and most importantly, to him.  Yes Honey, marriage is a serious business.  If you choose to marry him, then you do business with him.

Natty, my parents are old.  I must do my best to take care of them, even though I have no money.  I am not doing this for selfish reasons, but to please Allah and set up a balance (commonly known as karma), so that my children will take care of their mother when she gets old.  So please be patient, mature, and understanding about this matter.  By the way, that is beautiful fabric and a beautiful outfit you're wearing from Dolce and Gabbana.  I've always liked their stuff.  I've noticed that you are carrying more name brands this year than media pets Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid combined.  They probably just got greedy, and demanded more money.  You're on the right track, Natty honey!  Enjoy your career, and hang on to yourself!

Pina, that's quite an old fashioned outfit you're wearing.  Like out of the Victorian era.  You're not even showing much leg, like that girl next to you.

What I wore yesterday was almost haute couture.  I don't know, it just happened.  Or it could even be just plain skanky.

 

 

 

 

Qur'an 20170925

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful

75.  They have not the power to help them, but they will be brought up as a troop.

76.  Let not their speech then grieve you.  Verily, We know what they hide as well as what they disclose.

77.  Does not man see that it is We who created him from sperm?  Yet behold!  He is an open adversary!

78.  And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own creation.  He says, "Who can give life to bones, and decomposed ones?"

79.  Say, "God will give them life, Who created them the first time!  For God is well-versed in every kind of creation!"

Ya Sin 36:75-79

The clique

Hello there, my most beautiful Erin!  How are you feeling today, my darling?  I hope you are feeling and doing absolutely great.  I just got done having lunch after cleaning my mother's bedroom.  It is Sunday morning after all, and I always clean my mother's bedroom on Sunday morning.  My Mom made me some fried noodles for lunch, also I refried the hummus I used to stuff the fish yesterday.  I don't think hummus and fish are a solid combination, but it was in my cooler and it needed to be used up, so I just went with the flow.  I am a "go-with-the-flow" kind of cook.  So please make sure you make me double check all leftovers in the cooler that I want to use up, because I don't like to waste anything.  OK Honey?  I love you!

Natty, did you get a chance to meet and talk with Naomi Campbell?  I'm guessing that you didn't, otherwise you would have reported it.  She stuck to her own clique, huh?  Well you are in a more exclusive clique, Natty dahlink- my immediate family inshaAllah.  And you're soooo pretty!  Enjoy the ride, Natty.  Now is the time, so have tons of fun and make tons of money.

Pina, that's a nice outfit.

I wanted to wear white and gold yesterday, but it occurred to me that I wore white and gold the day before without really realizing it.  I filed this outfit under white and gold, even though it's more white and pink and red and gold.

 

 

 

The river

Busy?  I hope you are taking time to rest.  The cool weather right now is inspiring me to sleep more, but I cap it at 7 or 8 hours.  Otherwise I would want to sleep even more.  I steamed a fish for lunch.  I soaked a bunch of lime leaves, then steamed it with a scad stuffed with red hot pepper paste and hummus.  But really I should have grilled it, I'm sure it would have been better.  Very filling, though.  That was a very interesting monologue I read in the comments of your last post.  Almost like a chat room rampage.  The things we have to put up with, huh?

Natty, you look great in white and gold.  I wore white yesterday, but today I think I'll wear white and gold.  Uh... I have to warn you (and I think I did warn you) that I'm quite well known among those supermodels.  I don't want to marry any of them, so please don't consider that.  I've already made up my mind on who I will marry inshaAllah.  I'm so proud of you, Natty!  You've become totally name brand.  If you want to talk, I'm always ready to listen.  You might as well express yourself, for we have no privacy anyway, and people are going to bitch anyway.  That's how I see it.

This river was almost empty 3 days ago.  I took this snapshot of the river by the mosque yesterday, and you can see in the back that it's almost up to the rim of the bank.  The river is about 10 yards wide, and I'm sure you can see the water churning.

 

 

 

 

Bliss

Hi there, Rich Girl!  How are you feeling?  It's still very wet and cold, cold, cold here.  I love it!  Of course I don't like to get caught in the rain, but I loathe hot weather.  I feel so comfortable, it makes me happy!  Oh no, happiness?  What's that?  Happiness is warming up with my blankie all night.  I would rather snuggle with my Sweetie, but I have to work for that.  But it looks like the rain has stopped, and the sky is getting brighter.  Why is it so cold here lately?  I hear from the chat room that it's 90° in Michigan.  Maybe the earthquake in Mexico shifted the earth's movement and affected the weather.  Earthquakes can change the rotation of planet o its axis more effectively than any bomb.  Anyway, I hope you are feeling as blissful as I am, and the only way I could feel better right now is if I had you with me, because I love you.

Yeah Natty, that is an awesome look.  Purple and black, and very emotional.  I'll bet it matches the way you are feeling lately.  I wore purple too yesterday, but not as progressive as yours.  So chic.

 

 

 

 

Rain, rain, rain

It started raining last night, and it still hasn't stopped 10 hours later.  Do you like the rain, Erin?  I heat up so easily, I prefer rainy days over sunny.  Nice and cool.  I miss autumn in Salt Lake City.  Rainy days means no yard work, which means I get to loaf around inside the house, which is awesome for a lazy butt like me.  I would probably wind up working on the computer, because sometimes I'm suddenly a workaholic.  But for the most part, I'm sooooo lazy.  I just wanna snuggle up with my Sweetie.  Maybe I'll watch a Cheers marathon.

Hey you got lots of energy, Natty?  Bouncing off the walls?  Milan sounds like a nice place to live.  Maybe you'll run into Pina, then you can compare notes.  Eat a pizza for me, OK?  No, not a whole one.  Share it with your buddies.

Oh, YAWN!!!!  I want to sleep, sleep, sleep!  I feel soooo comfortable...

 

 

 

How do I know it's you?

Certainly I would treat my wife better than other women out there, besides my mother.  But how do I know it's you?  I would love to meet you and be with you, but right now the best way to do that is on Second Life.  But anyone could masquerade as you, unless you show me what you look like and what your tag is.  Like that girl in the bat suit was friendly enough, but I couldn't say much because I didn't know it was you or what.  You're probably too busy or shy or whatever to come and be with me while I hang out at NCI Kuula.  You probably wouldn't have the nerve to say anything to me if you did.  That's OK, I can do all the talking, and we can talk in Instant Messenger so the crowd can't read it.  So show me what your avatar looks like along with your tag (take a screen shot to show the tag), so I know it's you, because if I don't know it's you then I would ignore you.  Did you expect me to guess?  What... did you think I'm psychic or something?

Did you get that, Natty?  Come and hang out with me in Second Life.  Show me what your avatar looks like so I know it's you.  Don't stew your emotions all alone.  Stew them with me.  And for heaven's sake, put some effort into your avatar.  Don't just use the generic avatars.  I'm usually at NCI Kuula from 6:30 to 9 am PDT.

Pina, that dress suits you much more.  You look all lovely and grown up.

My Mom gave me some Japanese mushrooms, so lunch today was coconut cream of chicken and mushroom soup.  The stems were big and fat, so I diced them up with garlic and onion then sauteed them in butter.  Instead of cream, I used extra thick coconut cream.  I had to put some milk in there.  It was very thick and rich, and very filling.  I'm so full.  I had to put half of it away.  Alhamdulillah.

 

 

 

 

Oh emotions

We have to watch those emotions, huh.  Sometimes the hurricanes come one after another, and can we weather it out?  You can always reach me and we can talk in real time while I am at Second Life.  I go to the same place every day inshaAllah.  I'm usually at NCI Kuula from 6:30 to 9 am PST greeting the noobs, so you can meet me there if you want.  We don't have to talk in public, we can use the Instant Messenger.  You don't even have to say much if you don't feel like it, I'll do all the talking.  I do need to know it is you, so please don't force me to guess.  Show me your avatar on your Instagram or something.

I spent the morning doing food chores.  Like harvesting coconuts, shopping for food and processing food.  I bought a chicken and a large scad today, then I had to portion them out to fit in my small cooler.  Merchants are really behaving strangely with me lately, but I managed to get my shopping done unscathed.  I had a fresh scad fillet but I had no soy sauce, so I had to marinade that with vinegar then put it in the freezer, I hope the vinegar wasn't a mistake.  No sushi today, to be honest I didn't expect to buy a fish today.  Can't have sushi without soy sauce.  I had leftovers on the menu, so that's what I had for lunch.  Leftover lentil soup.  Floofy expressed what she thought of my lunch by puking out a hairball.

Natty if those emotions are raging, then come and hang out with me on Second Life.  We can go shopping and exploring together, we can be with each other.  You can always talk to me, you know that, and now you can even talk to me in real time.  Plus it would give you something to do while you wait for the next event.  So fire up that laptop and meet me at NCI Kuula.

Pina, that trench coat is pretty and it even allows for flair on the sleeves. Very cool.

 

 

 

Definitely not haute couture

Yeah sure I need money.  I need to be married my Erin, and as soon as possible.  But I'm not going to work for the government.  My mission is to please Allah with music.  And you can be sure that the agenda of almost every government out there is in conflict of interest with God's agenda.  Yes, I believe in being moderate.  I don't believe in blowing up innocent people in the name of God.  But I am not going to take instructions from the government when it comes to the music and my business thereof.  They can either help me or don't.  My Boss is Allah.

Natty, I need to remind you to stay away from booze and drugs.  Yes you are an adult, and you have the right to drink if you want to.  It's just me.  I will not have an alcoholic or drug addict bear my children.  Yes, you've become successful and temptation is everywhere.  I know you're feeling lonely and lost within all the big business surrounding you.  I want you to know that I am always with you and think about you.  I love you and care about you, and I will marry you inshaAllah.  So be strong and hang on to yourself, which is easier to do when you stay clean.  Please pray.  By the way, that t-shirt and skirt combo is absolutely gorgeous.  Definitely not haute couture.

I like your outfit too, Pina.  But it does look like haute couture to me.

As you can tell, I'm not a big fan of haute couture.  I think the Victoria's Secret fashion show went downhill because of haute couture, so I don't watch it anymore.  But the outfit I wore yesterday is almost haute couture.  Can't win them all.  Do you like it?  It's my "pink demon" outfit.  Acting, acting!
