In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
OK OK you have very pretty teeth, much prettier than mine. I am grateful to Allah that you have never tasted poverty. Ya Allah, please protect my Julia, and please shield her from the hardships that were imposed upon me. I do hope to finally get some proper dental work done in the near future, insyaAllah. Whatever the case, I will never be able to catch up with you, and having fake teeth screwed into my skull is absolutely out of the question, because I have to protect my singing. Ya Allah, please protects Julia and I, and the music You gave to me.

Letter to Julia 20130202
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Ah Julia, my heart. It's been such a long time, my dearest heart. How could I not be in deepest love with you, after all these years of such dedication. And it spins on and over again, for I have chosen to love you, I have chosen you. For you are my heart, you are the most beautiful girl in the world to me, layers and layers above all the beauty I have perceived, the first snowfall, the piercing brightness of the full moon, the parade of orange striped clouds marching towards a humid sunset. All I have to offer you my love, are these words. Until the time Allah grants me the means to give you a good married life, I watch you from my office chair, walking that distant runway. I think about that time, when I get to get you, riding on that giant snake all the way there. But it doesn't matter anymore, it's all too late. I have given my life to you, and how could it be any other way? Please pray for us, my dearest love, please ask Allah to have mercy on us. I am your knight in armor of shadow, and you are my sweet, sweet love.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi there, Julia my beloved. How are you feeling right now? You must be working hard as usual. Please try to slow down, and take good care of yourself, because I love you with all my heart. I've been watching an old episode of the Jerry Springer show. You do know that all I do is spend my time alone, waiting for when Allah grants me the means to give you a good married life, insyaAllah. Today I cleaned my parents' bathroom. I broke off some of the dead limbs of the cashew tree. It's almost cashew and mango season. There are so many flowers! I picked a ripe papaya. I think papayas smell kind of funny. This afternoon I slept for an hour in my mother's massage chair. I have a headache right now, even though my shoulders feel loose. After I write this letter, I will practise the guitar a little. Bat Cat wants me to play the guitar today. Oh, it's a full moon outside, Julia! Oh, pretty moon!

Hi Julia! How are you feeling today? Have you been a good girl? Please maintain your prayers, because in the future, we'll be praying together, insyaAllah. My brother just got his small son a full size Wilson basketball. I suppose we could put a hoop out on the concrete in front of my office/bedroom window, where I hope to put a carport, insyaAllah. The problem is that it's right by the elementary school road, so the whole world will watch you shoot hoops. I suppose it would be OK if you dress appropriately, but I'm sure you need a basketball partner, and I would be a pushover. You wouldn't even have to take a single step.

Hey there, my beloved. How are you feeling today? Please take good care of yourself, because I love you so much. It has been rather edgy for me both on and off the Internet, but hey, that's the music for you. The music is from Allah, so I use it to serve Allah. No I'm no hero, just some lonely and destitute old man who longs to be married to the girl he loves. Meanwhile, I've finally figured out how to pan fry beef brisket perfectly. The secret is: no liquid seasonings! My favorite cut of beef has to be ribeye. Also the ribs themselves, I love BBQ beef ribs! Perhaps if we become wealthy enough insyaAllah, we can buy our own steer, take the cuts we want, and donate the rest to the masjid. We'll need a freezer!

Oh, hi Julia. How are you feeling? Please learn how to slow down, and try to make others conform to your schedule. You are my beautiful princess, and I love you with all my heart. I've been doing some studying. Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, Pink Floyd. Comparing myself with them, I'm an utter disgrace to the rock star concept. I'm old, I'm destitute, I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, I don't have any tattoos, I don't slut around, I don't tour, I've never been signed, I don't have any hit records, I despise the mass media, I don't party, I don't want to be worshiped, and I don't worship the devil. I'm a complete disgrace to the stuffy old conformist and conventional rock and roll hierarchy. They are the establishment, and I am the rebel. Phooey!
And you are my wife, so please maintain your prayers, and guard your chastity as I guard mine for you, until the time when Allah grants me the means to give you a good married life. InsyaAllah. Please keep the promises you make, fulfill to your obligations, and be true to your testimonies.

Hi Julia! Are you busy? You must be, because I see everyone else around me running around like chickens with their heads cut off. If your schedule is crammed to the hilt, then please take the time to rest and eat adequately. I guess I should have blogged yesterday, but I was too lazy. I just couldn't make the supreme effort to shave, take a shower, put on some decent clothes, and make my way downtown like everyone else. I'm soooo lazy! I stayed in bed pretty much all morning until after the noon prayer, taking breaks to feed the cats and have lunch. Being lazy is time-consuming work! I think I loafed around so much, it made me feel slightly sick. Hey, you slow down too, Julia! I want to snuggle with you!
