Letter to Erin 20150217

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

Aw Erin, I've only been gone a day.  You sweetheart, I love you so.  I have to commute 8km each way to blog, and I ride my motorcycle real slow, because commute is more dangerous for me than other people.  So I don't want to blog every day if possible.  If I had home Internet I would probably blog everyday, at least a journal of sorts.  Got to keep things mundane if you want to raise a family.  This also happens to be my week of isolation, where I stay away from the Internet and people in general.  It has nothing to do with you,  In fact, I wish you were with me to share my isolation.  I love you, and I need you.

Pretty much all of the houses and buildings here are made of solid brick.  You're not going to find wooden stud frames covered by drywall and plaster here.  I think the issue is termites.  The old style traditional houses were made of wood, but no more.  Something else you need to consider is that there are no basements here.  That's because of flooding.  In fact, I see more and more buildings with raised foundations nowadays.  When the time and money comes to me inshaAllah, I will have to demolish my grandfather's old house to make room for yours.  That's a lot of trash, and it's not as if I can just burn the wooden parts.  My aunt suggested that I recycle as much as possible, and that would take a slow and systematic demolition.  There's a lot of stone, though.  Anyway!  I'll cross that bridge when I get there inshaAllah.  You just draw yourself up a nice house, OK?

Erin, what are you doing carrying that guy on your back?  And wearing high heels!  If you were to trip, you would have broken your ankle.  Please don't hurt yourself.  Please please please I love you I love you, you are so beautiful.  I would be mortified if you had hurt yourself.  Please don't hurt yourself.  Please take sweet loving care of yourself, and avoid alcohol and drugs.  I love you, and I need you.

I didn't like hearing that you have a perpetual habit of nip slipping.  I guess it's the part of me that wants you all to myself.  I'm getting a picture in my head of nip slips in rapid succession spraying sand and seawater like machine gun fire and putting peoples eyes out.  AAAAAAARGHHH!!!!  Did you say that they have a mind of their own?  Does that mean that I can paste some form of artificial intelligence on them and control them with an iPad?

You raised a good point when you said that you (or women) are monogamous.  Perhaps you were referring to employment?  I guess that means that men are not.  Well, I can assure you that I don't slut around.  All I do is stay home or go out to shop or blog.  I have no privacy so I wouldn't get away with that, and at the very least my parents can vouch for me.  So women are monogamous?  Have you ever seen the Jerry Springer show?

You seem very comfortable with Dan Patrick's gang.  At first they were super nice to you, now it seems they don't know how to behave.  When a man is nice to a woman, it means he wants to pork her.  And if not, he still wants to pork her.  I guess it's the nature of virility, or compensation for the lack thereof.  I'm not trying to justify the nature of men.  I don't even enjoy their company, that's probably why I don't enjoy sports.  I would rather hang out with you.

Traveling?  Oh, you beautiful little busy bee.  Please take care of yourself, and relax my dear.  And try to enjoy yourself, as much as you can now that you have become a princess.  You are my Rock and Roll princess.  But protocol can be so stifling sometimes, do you agree?  I'm glad my agenda requires me to stand my ground here.  I'm weary of travel, and I want to build a house for you.  I saw you on Olbermann, and Fox & friends.  You are so beautiful, my Erin.  If your video is on Google, you can take it for granted that I will see it.  It's probably easier for your camp to control the content, after all, there's so much garbage on th Internet.  Plus lately, it hasn't been easy for my TV to tune outside of Google.

I'll have you know that I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, so please don't expect a letter from me tomorrow.  Sure some Muslims celebrate Valentine's Day so as to be part of the crowd and market, but not me.  I refuse to join partners with Allah.  It's been a very lonely life, and Allah has been pretty much my only friend, so it matters to me.  You understand that, right?  I hereby declare February 13 as "I don't need one day each year to remind me to love you because I love you every day Day."

It's almost your birthday but I'm still broke, so please don't anticipate your ring just yet.  I'm afraid I have no choice but to live a spiritual lifestyle, so I'll get the money when Allah gives it to me.  Then would come the process of setting up home Internet, getting a camera, and all that blah.  So please forgive me and be patient with me.  Meanwhile, please enjoy being a princess, just don't forget Allah.  And don't forget me, either.  I love you, and I need you.

Hello Erin, my wonderful sweetheart.  How are you feeling?  I pray you are feeling healthy, and on top of the world.  I saw the video of you and Adriana at that Superbowl thingy, and I must say that you looked beautiful, and that was a beautiful dress you were wearing.  I hope you are having tons of fun, just please remember to take good care of yourself, stay at home if you're not working or need to go out, and maintain your prayers.  You have stepped up now, so please know that you are so important.  You are important to me.  I love you, and I need you.

Let's talk a little about scripted realities.  For example, the Kennedy assassination.  People think that scripted realities are a modern phenomena, but actually they are as old as the human race.  Like when one speaks of being framed, or the cowboys talk about being "railroaded".  Like the tree of Zaqqum, whose roots are embedded in hell, people throughout history persist in abusing their power.  Now that we are so close to Judgement Day in this age of mass media, scripted realities are more dangerous than ever.  If you remain chaste and avoid drugs and alcohol, you will negate most of the tools of evil.  But the bottom line is that only God can protect us adequately.  So please be sincere, stay clean, and pray.  Please protect your emotions, and don't be a hero.  Your role in life is to be the damsel, not the hero.

When I was heading back home after blogging my last love letter to you, I was crawling along on my motorcycle at my usual 30 kmh when I was passed by another motorcycle, and the rider was wearing a T-shirt where it was printed on the back, "It's never all about you."  You know, I agree with that.  I kind of lost my attention temporarily, may Allah forgive me for my lapse.

I guess what that motorcycle rider was trying to say to me (whether he meant to or not), is that I need to pay more attention to Allah when I speak.  And that is my purpose, is to draw attention to Allah.  Let Allah be the center of attention.  Let them fear and worship Allah.  It's all about Allah.

What I meant the last time is that you keep popping up on my TV station, and you are the love of my life, so from that perspective, it's all about you.  But it's still all about Allah, because Allah made the situation where we can marry, Allah is the One Who made you love me, and only Allah can grant me the means to give you the best married life.  I give my heart and best to make our connection enhance your business, but it is Allah Who makes it so.  And your money remains yours: I don't want to consume it, and I don't want you to feel any resentment about having to finance our family.  That is MY responsibility, and since it is my responsibility, I cannot feel any resentment for doing so.  And Allah can kill me off at any time.  You would have to walk the world stage without me.

If you are sincerely grateful to Allah for the advantages given to you then please pray.  Actions speak louder here than words or intent.  Don't show off to people.  Lock the door, and pray in private.  Pray for our love and lives together.  I love you, and I need you.

Hi there, you gorgeous girl!  Ah, my beloved, beautiful Erin.  How are you feeling, you precious little sweetheart?  Did you know that you're taking over my TV station?  It used to be the Victoria's Secret channel, now it's the Erin channel.  It's all about Erin.  Because you are MY girl.  I love you, and I need you.

My parents are out of town for a while, so I have less house cleaning to do.  I still have to clean my own house, though.  I hate house cleaning.  I had to iron my pants this morning, too.  I hate ironing, too.  I can't seem to get it right, and it took me half an hour to iron 3 pairs of pants.  I would rather do yard work.  In the evening, I cut the grass around your house. Grass grows quickly here in Malaysia, even though it's the dry season right now.  I don't have enough time to do adequate yard work.  There's so much other stuff to do, plus I need more tools.

It's sirloin steak for dinner!  Plus my Mom have me some sweet corn before she left, so I made some croquettes,  The batter being corn, garlic, onions, egg, milk, salt and pepper.  My Mom has a version of this too.  Hers is more savory.  Perhaps it's because I use milk.  Next time I'll put the salt on after I fry them.  Would you like some?

Qur'an 20150207

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

12.  Truly do you marvel, while they ridicule.

13.  And when they are admonished, pay no heed.

14.  And when they see a Sign, turn it to mockery.

15.  And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery!"

16.  "What!  When we die and become dust and bones, shall we be raised up?"

17.  "And also our fathers of old?"

18.  Say, "Yes, and you shall then be humiliated."

Those Ranged In Ranks 37:12-18

Yes, and you shall then be humiliated.
