Hello my most beautiful Julia and Erin. How are you feeling, you wonderful, wonderful women? Oh dear, it's October already. How time flies. I didn't date that last letter properly. Sigh. I'm feeling quite tired right now. I just got done playing guitar, and before that I spent the evening cutting grass around Casa de Julia inshaAllah. It had been raining every day again, at times very heavily. But the water seems to drain off quickly. Quicker than it did 5 years ago. I still have a lot of grass cutting to do, then I can start breaking down that tree I chopped down. I spent the whole morning in the kitchen, just doing prep work. I made dough, then my sardine dip, I received some beef so I portioned that out, then I made my lunch, which was noodles. For dinner, it was bread and steak. I'm tired. I'm going to relax and watch TV. I pray you both are feeling great, and taking and having it easy. I love you, I love you. And I need you, I need you.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
The world is a small town. No, I'm not making a reference to the kampung I'm living in, nor am I making a statement about how modern travel and communications have made the world smaller. I'm actually talking about the fractal nature of oppression. I'm not in a particularly strange mood. I just happened to watch TV, and "Fractals and the Art of Roughness" was followed by the Kennedy assassination, while I was studying about the Pharoah in the Qur'an.
You've heard of the expression, "big fish in a small pond", right? So if many small ponds joined together, there would still be only one big fish, or one dominant fish. This is basic politics, but let's not talk about fair or ideal politics. Pharoah would resort to anything to maintain power, and would eliminate the strong who would oppose him, and also the creative, because the creative would find a way to attain power. This is what I'm talking about: not the structure of oppression, but the structure of the actions of oppression.
Since the strong and the creative are eliminated, what's left is the same old Pharoah, using the same techniques over and over again. And so would his minions use the same methods over and over again. For example, any thug can put on a black sheet up to the covering of his face, and be in a video of an execution. This is the same action as producing the video, and financing the video, except that the higher ranking officers wouldn't bother getting their hands dirty. Smaller sprigs of the same cauliflower blossom, of many blossoms before. It means that they are not who they say they are, or what they claim they represent. Why, do you think they would be honest with you? What's the likelihood of that? The point is that reality shows have been on for a very long time already, probably hundreds or thousands of years, using the same old dirty tricks. Scripted reality.
Me? I am a servant of Allah. I serve Allah, and I have no more power than what Allah grants me. Allah is the Power. If I had any real power, then I would already be able to finance our marriage. But Allah is the Most Superior in Planning and Resources. No One can put on a show like Allah. I put my trust in Allah. Allah can make their plans backfire. And even though one Pharoah is replaced by another, I also have faith in Judgement Day.
I'm sorry about this odd love letter. You are my wives, and I love you, I love you with all my heart. And I need you, I need you. Please take gentle loving care of yourselves in my absence, and please maintain your prayers.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Julia, please allow me to say Happy Anniversary to Erin.
Happy 1st Anniversary, Erin darling. Yeah, it's been a year since I proposed to you. I pray that it's been a wonderful year for you, and I absolutely intend to keep my commitment to you. I am your husband inshaAllah, and you are not alone. You are not just you anymore, you are me as well. And you are loved.
Please understand and accept that the goal of our marriage is to slow down, settle down, and raise a family. No more travel. Yeah, I saw that video where you said you "will go where you can use your body". I'll help you use your body. Ahem. How about a fruit plantation? Or jumbo shrimp aquaculture? You can do the labor, I will eat jumbo shrimp. Or house cleaning?
I'm just kidding, you naughty thing you. You're such a cutie, Erin! Of course I'll help with the house cleaning, and we'll get a maid inshaAllah. You can always have your friends visit. Just remember that this is a Muslim family and area, and we will live in the Public Eye Mrs. Global, so please try not to start any global conflicts. Of course we can have vacations, perhaps once every 2 years during off-peak seasons, as I'm building a tourist attraction here. I'll go where you go, so please plan the vacations meticulously, so you don't get us all assassinated OK? Julia gets the first vacation, because she is the Boss Wife. So get all your travel kicks now, before you marry. I anticipate you will at least have a few more years before Last Call. You're still young, so you can enjoy travel. I'm an old man. I've already done a lot of traveling. My feet hurt.
I pray that Allah will grant you much happiness and business success out of my commitment of marriage to you. Please give thanks to Allah, and maintain your prayers. You are so very beautiful Erin, and I look forward to seeing you at the next VS fashion show. I love you, and I need you.
Julia, I love you, and I need you. I will be fasting on Saturday October 4 inshaAllah, and I strongly recommend that you both fast too. State in your heart the intention to fast for the sake of Allah the day before.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
As you may have noticed, I chopped down one of the taller trees that was growing on top of the old house at Casa de Julia inshaAllah. I had to stand on a ladder to chop it down, but it was leaning over the old house, so I guessed if I stayed behind it, it would fall away from me. It fell on top of the roof, but I was able to push it down onto the ground today with my left hand while on the ladder. Alhamdulillah! Trees are heavy objects. You should try chopping one down.
I've been having a craving for good old chicken wings, so I bought some chicken wings, chicken breast and liver at the night market Monday. Last night I downed a whole kilo of wings. I forgot to make ranch dressing, but it didn't matter. They went down fast. I also made some chicken liver paté with onions and basil for my morning bread. It was a success, but next down I'm going to chop everything as finely as possible. Paté is great because you can eat it cold. Wow, maybe I'll try some mackerel liver paté next.
I'm sure you both are very busy nowadays, so please make sure you eat properly, and get plenty of rest. There's nothing like a lot of beauty sleep. I want you to know that I always think of you, and I always pray for you, and that Allah will bring us together in marriage soon, and keep us together in love, security and happiness in this life as well as the Hereafter. Please know that you are loved very much. I love you, I love you. And I need you, I need you.

Qur'an 20141002
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
71. And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to Allah with a conversion-
72. Those who witness no falsehood, and if they pass by futility, they pass it with honor;
73. Those who, when they are admonished with the signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind;
74. And those who pray, "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us to lead the righteous."
75. These are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, because of their patient constancy: therein they shall be met with salutations and peace,
76. Dwelling therein- how beautiful an abode and a place of rest!
77. Say: "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if you call not on God, but you have indeed rejected, and soon will come the inevitable."
The Criterion 25:71-77

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Everybody is in a big hurry! Well, everybody is usually in a big hurry... to go nowhere. Well, you could probably call this kampung "the middle of nowhere", but it's the center of the planet to me. This is where I wish to settle down with my two beautiful wives inshaAllah, Julia and Erin. I don't want to travel anywhere anymore. I don't even like to commute. So if anybody wants to reach my center of the planet, then they must be nice to my Julia and Erin. So make sure you maintain your prayers. Hurry, hurry! Let them worship and fear Allah.
Yeah, I want them to be nice to my Julia and Erin because they are the most beautiful girls in the world to me. They are my wives, so be extra nice to them. My dearest and beloved wives, you are the center of the planet to me. I love you, I love you. And I need you, I need you.
Wow, these kittens are plump! I was giving them a bath, and with their fur wetted down, I could see exactly how fat they are. They look like light bulbs, or balloons filled with water. Such pudgy little kittens! Yeah, I spoil them. Unlike humans, cats are cute when they're fat. Yeah, I know thin cats live longer. Soon they will be at the age where I can let them outside. Ya Allah please protect my kitties from harm and cat burglars. Hey, this flea shampoo doesn't work! I have to use it a little bit at full strength to stun the flea, then I can pick it out of the cat and pop it with the tip of my fingernail. Who has the time for that? I'm in a big hurry to be lazy and watch TV. I want to snuggle with my wives! I'm getting irritated. Must be patient...
Qur'an 20140930
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
54. It is God who created man from water: then has God established relationships of lineage and marriage: for your Lord has Power.
55. Yet do they worship, besides Allah, things that can neither profit them nor harm them, and the disbeliever is a helper against his Lord!
56. But you We only sent to give glad tidings and admonition.
57. Say: "No reward do I ask of you but this: that each one who will may take a path to his Lord."
58. And put your trust in God who lives and dies not, and celebrate God's praise, and enough is God to be acquainted with the faults of God's servants.
59. God who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between in six days, and is firmly established on the Throne. The Most Gracious: ask you then about God, of any acquainted.
60. When it is said to them, "Adore you the Most Gracious!", they say, "And what is the Most Gracious? Shall we adore that which you command us?" And it increases their flight.
The Criterion 25:54-60
