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

There have been a whole slur of power outages at this house lately.  Apart from the ones that affected the entire community, about a month ago, coincidentally while I was very ill with the flu, a cable to my house snapped right at the pole. Then today, only a few minutes after voice training, a connection burned out at my power meter.  I couldn't do much other than call the power company.  I'm only human.  Allah has all the Power.

Now you haven't been showing off your thighs to people have you?  I thought I heard someone complain about it, but I didn't think too much of it.  Then just now, while I was locking a door, my pants ripped all the way up the inner seam, exposing my inner thigh.  I understand that you are under contract to work, but if you are off duty then please dress modestly.  I know you certainly are intelligent enough not to underestimate the power of a beautiful woman.  Perhaps you don't have a complete grasp of your position yet, but there is no need to show yourself off, because you are engaged to marry me, and people already know who you are.  You will find that you will get more done and have more peace if you take your role as a pious wife in due earnest, and hide the beauty that Allah has granted you.  I know how absolutely beautiful you are.  Of course I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Qur'an 20140608

90.  They say, "We shall not believe in you until you cause a spring to gush forth for us from the earth,"

91.  "Or you have a garden of date trees and vines, and cause rivers to gush forth in their midst, carrying abundant water,"

92.  "Or you cause the sky to fall in pieces, as you say, against us, or you bring Allah and the angels face to face,"

93.  "Or you have a house adorned with gold, or you mount a ladder right into the skies.  No, we shall not even believe in your mounting until you send down to us a book that we can read."  Say, "Glory to my Lord!  Am I aught but a man, a messenger?"

94.  What kept humans back from belief when Guidance came to them was nothing but this: they said, "Has Allah sent a man to be messenger?"

95.  Say, "If there were settled on earth angels walking about in peace and quiet, God would certainly sent them down from the heavens an angel for a messenger."

96.  Say, "Enough is Allah for a witness between me and you, for God is Well-acquainted with God's servants, and God Sees!"

Glory to my Lord!  Am I aught but a man, a messenger?

If there were settled on earth angels walking about in peace and quiet, God would certainly sent them down from the heavens an angel for a messenger.

Enough is Allah for a witness between me and you, for God is Well-acquainted with God's servants, and God Sees!

I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship other than Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

Kitten TV is sad, huh?  It probably had half the world bawling their eyes out.  I even got a reaction from my Mom.  She said, "You'd better make an appointment to get that cat sterilized."  I love you Mom!  But I didn't make up Kitten TV.  I just love kittens.  So again, the inspiration  is from Allah.  Allah always puts on a great show, but the humans never give God proper credit.  Ya Allah, please grant me healthy kittens from now.

Which also explains why I've decided to be extra slow at producing music.  It's not just that I am able to mirror the voices of some dead women.  I also have to compose music, sing, play guitar, bass, drums, engineer, do production, and do publishing.  And to please Allah.  So out of the inspiration given to me by Allah, only a little is conveyed.  This is especially handy because in reality, most people are not really listening.  They are much too engrossed in their own agenda.  So when they demand miracles to satisfy their own selfish skepticism, they shouldn't ask it from me.  They should ask Allah.  I don't want them to believe in me.  Let them pay attention to, and fear Allah.

On the menu tonight is... cheeseburgers!  Burgers are big business here in Malaysia, especially among the young people.  From the smallest to the biggest operatives.  Tonight is rather orthodox, with just mayo, pepper, pickles, and egg.  But of course, I like to experiment.  I think I'll try a cheeseburger with spicy anchovies in the future.  Want some?  Made with love!  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

85.  They ask you concerning the Spirit.  Say, "The Spirit by command of my Lord.  Of knowledge, it is only a little that is communicated to you."

86.  If it were Our Will, We could take away that which We have sent to you by inspiration.  Then would you find none to plead your affair in that matter as against Us.

87.  Except for Mercy from your Lord, for God's Bounty is indeed to you great.

88.  Say, "If the whole of humans and jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support."

As I had mentioned before, Floofy had a difficult beginning in life.  When I first received her, she could barely walk, she was covered in fungus and fleas, and she was missing some whiskers, eyebrows, and teeth.  Now with only one kitten still alive in her first batch of kittens, she has become extra vigilant.  She used to tolerate Chee Cheah's presence in the house without incident, but today Chee Cheah somehow got too close to Bob Cat, and Floofy turned into a tiger.  Fat, fluffy, and ferocious.  She got into a fight with Chee Cheah, and I'm the one who got nailed when I separated them.  Floofy accidentally stuck a claw deep in my right forearm while aiming for Chee Cheah.  Figures.  At least I can't blame this on the human race.  Eventually she chased Chee Cheah away to the old house at Casa de Julia inshaAllah.  I love all my kitties, so this bums me out some more over Kitten TV.  It's like arranging time between my wives and my parents, who happen to be quarreling over my children.  I pray it isn't so.

Perfection is a reward of the next life, but it's not necessary that this life is supposed to suck.  We must be grateful for the good things Allah gave to us, and the glimpses of happiness that give meaning to this life and give us anticipation for the next.  So please do not despair.  If you despair, it means you have no faith.  Again, the faithful do not despair.  Please maintain your prayers.  Always remember that I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Little Bob Cat died at 11am Thursday morning.  From Allah is our origin, and to Allah is our return.  I buried him alongside his siblings at the banana tree in front of my front door.  I let Floofy go outside, and we'll try again for another batch of kittens.  InshaAllah.

80.  Say, "O my Lord!  Let my entry be by the Gate of Truth and Honor, and likewise my exit by the Gate of Truth and Honor, and grant me from Your Presence an authority to aid."

81.  And say, "Truth has arrived and falsehood perished, for falsehood is bound to perish."

82.  We send down in the Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe.  To the unjust it causes nothing but loss after loss.

83.  Yet when We bestow Our favors on man, he turns away and becomes remote on his side, and when evil seizes him, he gives himself up to despair!

84.  Say, "Everyone acts according to his own disposition, but your Lord knows best who it is that is best guided on the Way."

Hello, my darling wives.  How are you feeling today?  All business?  Well, please make sure they know that you are MY queens.  MINE, MINE.  So, they had better be extra nice and generous to you.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

My Hepzibah died on Monday morning, about 1am.  Now is the fever stage of their flu, so they are in danger of going to sleep and not waking up.  Bob Cat is the ast kitten alive, so Floofy and I have been fighting for his life.  After Hepzibah died, Floofy became frantic and started to move Bobby all over the place.  I think she's a great mother.  She finds the coolest places in the house to park Bobby, she makes sure he stays active by playing with him, batting him around, and smothers him with hugs and kisses so he has to struggle to break free, she hides from him so he has to cry for Mommy, etc.  She lets me know when it's time to feed him.  Only a little bit of formula, only until he's half full, never until he's stuffed.  It's now Tuesday evening, and Bob Cat is still alive, and it seems he's awake more, breathing through his nose, and being more alert.  I'm still afraid when he falls asleep.  Kitten TV is so much drama, I'm so sad for my kittens.  One day at a time.  Ya Allah, please save my Bobby Wobby.
