Qur'an 20190210

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

50.  Say, "I tell you not that with me are the Treasures of Allah, nor do I know what is hidden, nor do I tell you I am an angel.  I follow what is revealed to me."  Say, "Can the blind be held equal to the seeing?"  Will you then consider not?

51.  Give this warning to those in them is the fear that they will be brought before their Lord: except for God they will have no protector nor intercessor, that they be wary.

(The Cattle 6:50-51)

Amy Winehouse

Hi Natty!  How are you doing, Movie Star?  I hope you are having tons of fun being you, you are MY girl.  You are beautiful, and I love you.  I don't really watch a lot of movies as people assume I do.  I just like what I like, which are the ones that I have some sort of emotional connection to.  Which is why I made you watch "Airplane 2", because that was a childhood movie.  Sorry about that.  You don't have to watch it ever again.  Nowadays there is a glut of movies available, and I don't make any effort to find the good ones.  I watch a lot of YouTube, and if Google happens to put an interesting movie in my path, I just might try to find it.  I saw a trailer for "Final Girl" last night.  That's a vehicle for your big brother, right?  I thought he didn't like to play the bad guy.  I'll try to look it up inshaAllah.  The trailer looks pretty good.

Google also pushes a lot of music my way too.  Lately there's been a lot of Amy Winehouse.  I do like her, I like her singing and her music, but I don't like her language.  She might as well be rapping, and I don't like rap.  It's not as if I didn't swear, I do: I just don't swear as a common form of expression.  And as a chick singer, I find vulgarity to be unfeminine.  That's my style, and she has her style.  I do do a cover of "Love Is A Losing Game" which is rather milquetoast lyrically compared with her other songs even though I did have to rearrange a few words, but I suppose I should find more of her stuff to sing.  I guess I need to listen to her more.  I do have another song of hers in mind.  But again, I need to rearrange the words to make it palatable for me to sing.
