In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Oh my, it's April already. We are in our 4th year since I proposed to you. It's a big world and etherworld, isn't it? You are my wife, insyaAllah. I love you, my Julia.
This morning when I woke up to let Chee Cheah in, it was still dark. So I flipped the light switch on. You know how florescent tubes flash before the light stays on, between the first and second flash I saw someone standing next to me on my left side. It seemed like a 10 year old girl dressed in black, looking up at me. Then the light stayed on, and the figure was gone. No big deal, I've seen many jinns in my life. Plus, we Muslims are taught by the Qur'an that we co-exist on this world with the jinns, and not all jinns are evil.
I've said this before, that the commute to and from town is very, very dangerous. Sure, everybody has to commute, and anybody can be a statistic. But as usual, Allah seems to be the only One Who cares about my work, and my safety. Ya Allah, please have mercy on me, and give me home Internet service with an Internet computer soon. Meanwhile, this old soldier has to get the message through. Ya Allah, please protect me, those I love, my home, and my work. But when it's time to go, then it's time to go. From Allah we come, and to Allah will we return. For certain, death is neither an escape nor a solution. Don't believe me? What if I told you all that I have the voices of some dead women in me? MashaAllah.

Letter to Julia 20130404
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi there, beautiful Julia. How are you feeling? You are my dearest heart, and I love you with all my heart. MonsterQuest is on TV again, this time it's about "Ghosts". MonsterQuest is usually pretty lame. They couldn't even catch a muskie. In "Giant Killer Snakes", the anaconda expert caught a snake the size of an earthworm. But it's on TV, so there.
I had to go to the vet again, but only to buy cat drugs. Scruffy got better. The tumor on his lip shriveled up and fell off. Alhamdulillah. I planted some flowers on the graves of my grandparents yesterday, but the ground is so hard and dry, I don't think they'll survive. I'm going to have to go back with some potting soil and lots of water if I want to give those flowers a head start. Then I went and bought 2 plastic brooms and a teether. For my teeth. No, not the brooms.
I've been studying the JFK assassination. Only God has the Strength to be God. Humans grow old and become weak.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello Julia, my beloved. Are you hanging in there? Well, I'm in it for the long haul with you. You are my love. You are the most beautiful girl to me. I may never be as pretty as you, but this chimp-like body does have a little bit of strength to help protect the voices of some dead women. Sigh. This music is the death of me. It should be obvious that I have no choice but to take the correct spiritual path, and nothing else. The music is a gift from Allah, and it is my charge to bear the burden until Judgement Day. But it is the death of me. What a paradox, huh?
Do you rememeber my telling about my brother's cat, which has a problem with mouth ulcers? I have to feed it medication every day to control the swelling, but the vet said the problem is incurable. Without the drugs, she will die of starvation. Well, now my brother's white cat is displaying the swelling, and the symptoms. What caused this? Is it from sharing the same food bowl? There's another cat that eats from the same bowl, and is fine. Were they poisoned somehow? I'm giving the white cat the same drugs as the other cat, so I pray that he won't take a turn for the worse. His mouth hasn't turned red yet, so I think he still has time to save himself. Otherwise he may become another drug addict cat. I might have to go to the vet tomorrow. Dang! I can't be going to the vet everyday! I should be on the Internet everyday.

Well, the swelling has gone down on Batty's paw, and the wound smells clean (no smell). Also, he has a lot of energy and a hearty appetite, even though he has a bad limp. So I decided to do some Internet work instead of going to the vet. InshaAllah, he will be back to full strength soon. Meanwhile, he stays in his cage.
And how are you, my love? Please be patient with others. That comes with being Mrs. Global, I suppose. Please pray that some of that money flying around us lands in my lap soon, so I can help build Casa de Julia. Don't forget that you have walked through the door into a spiritual reality with me, with purpose high above the greed and crude matter that permeates the agendas of others. Glory to Allah Who has guided us to the right path, and made us righteous.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello again, Julia my love. I love you. So I write another love letter, and here it is. I could spill more smoochies for you, you gorgeous thing you, but I have to talk about my cat today. Because I might not be able to post a blog Monday if I have to take him to the vet.
Catgone it, I'm up to my eyeballs with cats I have to doctor! There is this off-black cat with a long tail, and scrawny looking. But he is very strong and clever. If he were a human, he would be a crime boss. He attacks the paws and legs of his opponents, so they can't fight back. He mangled the right hind paw of my Batty-Watty Bat Cat, and he put a hole in the thigh of Scruffy, my brother's white cat. Scruffy seems to be coping OK, but my Batty has trouble walking. So I had to place him under protective exile in his cage, and occasionally disinfect his paw with rubbing alcohol. While he was incarcerated for his own safety, his enemies visited him to mutter threats. Yeah, I counted at least 3 cats wanting to kill him: the off-black cat, a black cat with a stubby tail, and an orange striped cat who comes a-howling around my house while my Bat Cat is detained. So many enemies. He's not even a year old yet. While these cats may plot to get Batty, it is unlikely that they would sincerely gang up with each other against him. Just like when the humans plot against an individual, they also plot against each other to gain superiority. Allah will put all secrets to the test. Ya Allah, please protect and heal my Bat Cat and Chee Cheah.

Hello there, Julia my beloved. How are you feeling today? You certainly are very pretty, aren't you? Mwah! Have you seen the new James Bond movie? I finally got around to watching it. The movie had been in queue for my consideration for over a month already. They certainly let Judi Dench bow out as M in a most graceful manner. Was that 7 movies with her as M? Didn't both Sean Connery and Roger Moore do 7 movies each as 007? Didn't Bernard Lee do more than 7 movies as M? I'm confused. Do you think Daniel Craig will last 7 movies as Bond? No, I don't normally do movie reviews, and I don't really want to either. I hate having to watch programming I don't want to watch. That's why I have my own TV station.

Hi Julia. How are you, luv? I went to the dentist yesterday. Did you know? It was a minor filling: one of my back teeth is longer than the rest. The dentist was more interested in that major filling I got 4 weeks ago. It almost seemed like... politics. Anyway, I got the impression that they didn't want to work on my teeth unless I'm in pain. Private dentists don't give me that attitude. But I guess I get what I pay for.
I suppose I'm not completely free of cronyism. The mysterious piano player and his sister have been part of Shadowplay history for many decades already. But he really is a darned good pianist. And I often eat at my brother's restaurant, but that doesn't mean I would have him play lead guitar in my band. I've always tried to keep Shadowplay made of the best musicians possible, but it didn't always work out that way. Then being alone and forced to do everything myself changed everything. MashaAllah, I became better at guitar, bass, drums, singing, and production. But I didn't want to be ostracized. Apart from the lynch mobs, I guess I could have been more political. But I'm a musician, not a politician.
But even old friends like the mysterious piano player and his sister are stuck in their own lives and circumstances, that they can allow no room for themselves in the massiveness mashaAllah that is Shadowplay. I can't even talk to them regularly. Again, the person I speak with most is.... you.
