Letter to Julia 20140920

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

Hello my beautiful Julia and Erin.  How are you feeling today?  I am longing for you as usual.  I write this letter today while watching "Plan 9 From Outer Space", arguably the worst movie ever made.  Whoever made that verdict must have seen a lot of movies.  Granted, it's pretty bad.  But it's also pretty funny.  Hee hee... "Plan 9 is the resurrection of the dead".

For dinner tonight is steak, with potatoes, onions and bamboo shoots.  Yeah, the same mix I was cooking when my kittens were born.  They will be 6 weeks old Sunday.  Oh, how time flies.  Their ears are already very big, even though they are still only kittens soft and fluffy.  Time does fly.  I remain faithful to you inshaAllah.  I spent the evening pulling down all the crap that got stuck on my roof from the big trees that were recently removed.  From my vantage point, I could see the big trees growing on the old house at Casa de Julia inshaAllah.  I have to take them down, they're already so big.  But I have faith that Allah will bring us together.  Yes, this is my inspiration from Allah, and you are my wives.  I love you so much, Julia.  And I love you too, Erin.  Soon it will be the next VS fashion show, so you must be busy.  I can't wait to see how beautiful you are.  And I can't wait to see you again my Julia, whenever you feel like showing yourself to me.  It must be fun, huh?  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Hi there, my dearest Julia and Erin.  How are you feeling, my love?  My love!  I pray you are feeling healthy and confident.  I'm still feeling slightly feverish, but functional, and working.  Everyday, working.  InshaAllah, I will be granted the wealth I need soon to give you a happy and secure marriage.

I had a lot of milk and cauliflower in the cooler, so I decided to make cream of cauliflower with chicken soup.  It turned out OK, but it was so thick and rich.  I added ramen noodles to it, as well as seaweed, for a black and white soup.  Hey, it was good!  Alhamdullilah.  But I was stuffed.  I was so full, I could barely move.  The only problem is that I'm lactose intolerant.  Oh, well.  At least it tasted good.  Want some?  I have leftovers.

Qur'an 20140918

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

51.  The answer of the believers when summoned to Allah and God's messenger, in order that he may judge between them, is no other than this: "We hear and we obey."  It is such as these that will attain felicity.

52.  It is such as obey Allah and God's messenger, and fear Allah and do right, that will win.

53.  They swear their strongest oaths by Allah that, if only you would command them, they would deploy.  Say, "Swear you not.  Obedience is reasonable.  Verily, Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do."

54.  Say, "Obey Allah, and obey the messenger.  But if you turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him, and you for that placed on you.  If you obey him, you shall be on right guidance.  The messenger's duty is only to preach the clear."

55.  Allah has promised to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds that God will, of a surety, grant them in the land inheritance as God granted it to those before them; that God will establish in authority their religion, the one which God has chosen for them; and that God will change the fear of theirs to one of security and peace.  They will worship God and not associate any with God.  If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked.

The Light  24:51-55

Swear you not.  Obedience is reasonable.  Verily, Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do.

Obey Allah, and obey the messenger.  But if you turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him, and you for that placed on you.  If you obey him, you shall be on right guidance.  The messenger's duty is only to preach the clear.

I kept on getting caught in the rain yesterday.  I was about to leave to post my love letter after voice training, then it started to pour.  At the same time I felt so dizzy, I had caught a fever.  I feel better now as I write this letter, but the rain again forced me to postpone my blog.  Please forgive me.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Floofy is insisting on keeping her brood out of the coop.  Every time I put them back, she takes them out again.  But I've never seen such disciplined behavior in cats before.  The kittens, I mean.  When Mama Cat is outside using the toilet and patrolling Casa de Julia InshaAllah like she's doing right now as I write this letter, the kittens hole up quietly in the corner behind the door of your wardrobe/bathroom Julia, and wait for her return.  Then when Floofy gets home, she calls out to them and they come out of hiding to greet her.  They wander everywhere as a pack, but only under Mama Cat's watchful eye.  Just now, I was calling the kittens for some baby food with Floofy at my side, and they came one by one to me, all five with a mission.  I suppose when they grow up they won't be this cute.  Now I have to get them to use the kitty litter over using the corner of the room.

On the menu is egg rolls!  I'm using fresh tofu instead of eggs, so I an't call them egg rolls, I suppose.  The stuffing is tofu, chopped onion, garlic, chives, basil, and salted radishes.  At first I fried them.  The texture was good, but I couldn't handle all that grease.  So I made them again, and just dry pan fried them in a non-stick pan.  They're not bad.  Want some?  Vegetarian!  Oh no!  Next thing you know, I might start eating salads!  Bleah!

It's been raining, raining, raining.  It's so wet.  I don't get to go outdoors much when it rains, so I watch a lot of TV, and work on the computer.  Floofy gets frantic when it rains, and moves the brood around.  They can walk and run now, so I have to be cautious not to accidentally step on one of my babies.  But I don't think that letting them wander around the house is a solution.  Do you?  So I sealed them in the cat carrier, put a dry towel over it, placed them n the center of the living room under a recliner far away from the windows, and let their mother stare at them through the bars until the storm blows over.  Bat Cat had a dry left eye somehow, so I put lotion in his eye.  Bob Cat is the biggest of the kittens.  Which I find awesome, because he was the last kitten to start feeding.  When he was just born, I thought he was dead, so I poked him a couple of times to make sure, and he moved a little.  Now he's the beefiest of the bunch.  Could it be that he let the others feed first?  What a gallant cat.  His mother smothers him the most over the rest with kisses, and you should see the expression on his face.  He was the last to die from the previous batch of kittens.  But Allah let me have Bob Cat and Bat Cat again.  Now they are the last to wean.  All the girls have started to eat solid food, but the boys are more interested in playing.  Ya Allah, please protect and heal all my kitties.

There was enough of a break in the rain for me to drive out and buy dinner.  You can come and share my dinner with me.  I bought fried noodles, and a lot of it.  I gave some to my parents, and there's plenty left over.  I pray you are doing well over there, and feeling healthy and confident.  I want you to be happy, and be happy with me.  I wish you the best of everything, and I miss you so.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

I've said it many times before, that fame is not a blessing.  But I must not be ungrateful as to what Allah has given me, so whatever fame I have I return to Allah.  Let the people worship and fear Allah.  I doubt that you enjoy the downsides of fame, so remember: I am your husband.  I will help to protect you.  If the crowd irritates you, tell them "I am his wife inshaAllah."  Then send them my way, and I will refer them to Allah.  I will distract them away from you, inshaAllah.  I pray that you both will distract them away from each other.  But Allah is the Best to protect.  Please maintain your prayers.  Lower your gaze and guard your modesty.

Don't forget that the goal of our marriage is to slow down, settle down and raise a family.  So your career is at its peak NOW, before we officially marry.  Make the most of it, stuff your bank accounts, and don't waste.  After we marry inshaAllah, you may still conduct business, but no more travel.  Use your spare time to figure out how to diversify when you get older.  I suggest your making connections in the halal food business.  Do some commercials for food business.  Frozen dinners.  Beware of acting jobs.  The movie and TV business will never be as lucrative as it was before the advent of digital recording, but more dangerous.  So please avoid that.  All you have to do is be beautiful, and you are.  You are so very beautiful.  You are the most beautiful girls in the world.  You are my Julia and Erin.  You are my wives, you are MINE, MINE.  Never forget that you are loved, no matter what some people may say or behave.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Hello again, my precious Julia and Erin.  How are you feeling today?  How are those precious emotions?  I pray that you are feeling confident and healthy.  I am yours truly InshaAllah, I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.  My baby kittens are a little over a month old, and it's the perfect age for kittens.  Oh, they're so adorable!  I want them to stay this size.  They are able to run around and play up a storm now, and they have lots of energy now, tumbling and flopping all over each other.  And naughty, of course.  They're still only as big a my hand.  Oh, they're so cute!  I love kittens!  I don't want to share my kittens with anybody.  I'm sure there are a lot of cat burglars out there.  I'm going to have to keep them cooped up and locked up in your bathroom/wardrobe Julia, which isn't easy because I've had to rebuild their nest 6 times already, because they escape all the time.  I'm training them on solid food right now.  Little ------- took to the baby food right away, and of course she was the first to pee on my floor.  ---- has also started to eat the baby food, but the rest don't seem to want to wean yet.  Then Floofy guzzles up the baby food quickly to set an example.  I love kittens!

Allah is all that is good and pure.  You are not in the same situation before you made the commitment of marriage, especially our situation in the business of the Public Eye.  So don't follow the whispers of the little devil inside you, not anymore, never again.  Stay pure.  Corruption now will not only destroy your work and beauty, but amplify your misery.  Please stay pure.  It is the Grace of Allah upon you that you be pure.
