Qur'an 20150816

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

5.  The similitude of those who were charged with the Mosaic Law but who subsequently failed is that of a donkey which carries huge tomes.  Evil is the similitude of people who falsify the Signs of Allah.  And Allah guides not people who do wrong.

6.  Say, "O you who stand on Judaism!  If you think that you are friends to Allah to the exclusion of humans, then express your desire for death, if you are truthful!"

Friday 62:5-6
------------------------------------------------

O you who stand on Judaism!  If you think that you are friends to Allah to the exclusion of humans, then express your desire for death, if you are truthful!

**sniffle**  I suddenly got the sniffles again.  I was just waiting to head out to the mosque for Friday prayer, then the sneezes got a hold on me.  I didn't bring any tissues with me, so all the while I was at the mosque, I had to swallow the damned stuff.  Ugh!  This is certainly a conspiracy by the Flu Virus Collective!  And after the prayer, I had to go straight into voice training.  So I was sneezing and sniffling while I was singing.  After that I finally found the time to drain my sinus cavity, so inshaAllah the flu won't get a grip on me.  **sniffle**

So I was not in the mood at all to do any cooking for dinner.  I had already made the decision not to spend any money today.  I had some leftover steak in the cooler, and a can of beans.  I didn't even bother to heat anything up.  I stuck a spoon into the can of beans, sliced up the steak, and ate it with raw onion and Thai peppers from my garden.  Tasted quite good, actually.  Want some?

I pray that you are eating properly and getting plenty of rest.  You are MY girl, Erin.  I love you, and I need you.

Hello there, my darling Erin.  How are you feeling, Sweetie?  I just had my dinner.  I ate out for dinner, just a plain old rice dish at the corner restaurant.  Right now, I'm watching a 2 and a half hour evaluation on Zildjian ride cymbals.  Hey, I'm VERY fussy about my cymbals.  I wouldn't ever have more than 3 cymbals on my kit including the hi-hat.  I don't think you would ever sit through these cymbal evaluation videos like me.  And to tell you the truth, it puts me to sleep.  But I can watch it over and over and over again and again and again.  Because I'm VERY fussy about my cymbals.


A while ago, I thought that I would sing "Heaven Or Las Vegas" by the Cocteau Twins.  But I just couldn't understand what the hell she was saying, and when I Googled for the lyrics, the people who posted the lyrics didn't seem to understand what the hell she was saying either.  So I gave up on that.  Then I thought maybe "Lorelei" would be easier to sing, and it's such a beautiful song.  But again when I Googled the lyrics, the words don't sound like anything like what she sounds like she's saying.  I can't get an honest emotional interpretation of the words if I can't understand what the words are.  The only option to emotionally connecting to the words is to precisely copy Elizabeth Fraser.  And that's a second best effort at best, because when you copy somebody you will never be as good as who you copy.  Gah!  I hate singers.  Divas, all of them.

I didn't mean to bore you with work chat.  I pray that you are not overworking, and taking it easy and patiently.  You are the most beautiful girl in the world to me, because you are MY girl.  I love you, and I need you.

Hi Erin!  How are you feeling today, my darling?  You are the most beautiful girl to me, because you are MY girl.  All those other girls look like men to me.  So please don't be blue, because I love you, and I need you.

It's just another everyday day here for me.  I finally got the old weed whacker going again after nearly 2 weeks.  It turned out that all it needed was a new spark plug.  I managed to get my front yard trimmed nice and neat.  I was about to do the side of the road, when it started raining again.  So I went inside, took a shower and made my dinner.  Fried calamari!  Just the rings today, so my dinner looked very civilized.  Tasted awesome too, alhamdulillah.  I'm sorry, but I ate it all.

I was just working on your house plan.  It's not a super big house, but it seems like a mansion to me.  I just can't draw, even with CAD.  At the main entrance there's a high ceiling over a bi level living area.  The windows there are showroom sized on the second floor only, overlooking the garden but not the street.  The bedrooms are secluded and out of sight.  Right now, I'm putting in the doors and the lights.  I don't have many options for lighting in Sims 3, but in real life everything will be LED.  I want to use as many LED spotlights with motion detectors as possible.  I work for the Cause of Allah, and as my wife it would be a different kind of reality to which you are used to, but this house is a reality I am creating for you inshaAllah.  So please give yourself to Allah in all you that do, and Allah will grant us a home in heaven and victory in this life inshaAllah.

Hello Sweetie!  How are you feeling today?  It's just another everyday day for me.  I slept in this morning after the dawn prayer, and woke up at 10 am.  Yawn.  I'm still drowsy, and still as lazy as ever.  But I had to get my ass in gear and get the grass cutter to be serviced.  While I was waiting, I had brunch at the Tuesday market.  Nothing special, just rice.  I bought a pair of pants.  Little ------- is still in heat, and she keeps demanding my attention.  Or she would stick her claws in my butt.  It's been raining every day, and the sand I use for the kitty litter is all wet.  Sand is recyclable, it just needs time to bleach under the sun.  But since it's been raining all the time, the sand doesn't make good kitty litter.  So while I was bending over filling up drainage pots with sand, Bat Cat III jumped on my butt and stuck his claws into me.  He probably thought it was a joke, and was trying to get some attention.  But I seem to be the butt of cat jokes lately.  Dinner was pepper steak on rice.  Super hot and spicy!  I still have some rice left, if you want some.  Erin, you beautiful girl.  You're MY girl.  I love you, and I need you.

Hi Erin!  How are you feeling, my love?  Dinner at eight?  Well, I don't have any friends to invite over, but dinner tonight is spaghetti in clam broth.  Yeah!  I had all this clam broth and clam meat left over, and I had to use it all up.  So the concept was simple: I fried up a handful of basil leaves with garlic, then dumped in all the clam broth, then cooked it all down until there was just enough sauce to cover the spaghetti.  I thought about a thickening agent like corn starch, but decided against it.  I sprinkled the clam meat over the al dente pasta in a large bowl, then poured all the sauce over it.  Simple, huh?  Tasted good, but I'm stuffed.  I had to eat your portion.  I was so full, I could hardly pray.  Join me for dinner next time, OK?  I love you, and I need you.  Now if you would please excuse me, I need to play more "Cat Goes Fishing."

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

Just as a reminder, Allah forbids that you be friends with 3 types of people:
1.  People who fight you because of your Islam
2.  People who force you out of your home
3.  People who help the people who force you out of your home. 
I wish I were with you to help protect you, but Allah is the Best to protect, so please put your trust in Allah.  I love you, and I need you.

In business, it is a standard practice to use something until it is used up.  Elvis is a good example: he was used up.  So don't allow yourself to be used up.  Where is the happiness in that?  Relax.  Take it easy.   Practice cooking or something.  Play video games.  Right now, I'm hooked on "Cat Goes Fishing".  I'm getting good at catching sharks!

------- is the one in heat right now.  She's not a howler and wriggler like ----, neither is she subtle and relaxed like mama cat Floofy.  Instead she likes to amp up the naughtiness.  Her favorite hobby when she's in heat is to point her pee at any amount of moisture that happens to be on the floor.  Her main target is my bathroom door.  She also asks for my attention, to pick her up and cuddle her.  If I ignore her, then she won't hesitate to stick a claw in my butt or something.  Aggressive female.
