Cruisin'

You may be on vacation, but to me it looks like you're working.  Actually, it's just being.  Kind of like the uneducated think that I don't work when actually I work every day up to 20 hours a day.  That's what happens when every day is Sunday.  Well, perhaps I need to kick back on a shady beach occasionally.  There are plenty of those around here, but I need money first.  Then I need to be married first.

Wow Natty, you look awesome!  And you don't even need makeup in the first place.  By the way, that's a nice kitchen.  It can't be your kitchen, right?  No I'm not saying you can't have a nice kitchen- I just doubt you would have the time to plan a kitchen.  Oh yeah, don't forget to put the lid on the blender.  A simple solution for a complex life, huh?

"Woo Hoo" is supposed to be a dark album.  I started it in 2007, became homeless and lost all my musical instruments, moved to another country, and now I am doing the vocals which complete the album.  Yeah, I'm slow.  I am self-financed after all.  Right now I am working on the 7th out of 10 songs titled "Hidden Enemies".  Oh don't worry Sweetie, hidden enemies have hidden enemies too: it's just the balance and the nature of their personality.  And enemies of Allah have the worst enemy of all.

Cars cars cars

Yeah, I've been doing a lot of driving around lately.  I loathe commute, but alhamdulillah I don't do as much as most people.  My plan is to focus my business at my home, so I can be with my family at all times.  Actually, that was Allah's plan.  Alhamdulillah.  I think you can put away the hair straightener.  I like your hair as as it is.  Don't forget to exercise and eat right, though.  What are you eating right now?  Local food?  Take a snapshot, I wanna see!

Of course you would look great in a fast car, Natty.  You like those old cars?  Don't stick your head out of the window like that!

Pina, I'm guessing that you've done more work since you went home than all the time you spent in NYC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Curly

I need to remind you my darling, not to trust anyone with the legalities of our marriage with anyone except me.  You may approach or be approached by people to process our marriage procedure, including the paperwork as such.  But I am your husband inshaAllah.  I'm the one who should be filling in the forms, I am the one who should be paying the fees, I am the one who will be financing your house and married life inshaAllah.  It doesn't matter who it is that offers to expedite our marriage, or their connection with me.  Don't trust them.  Don't forget how global our marriage is!  Trust in Allah instead, and pray that Allah quickens our marriage in the most positive way.  I love your curls, by the way.  Do you like the weather?

Natty, don't be too shocked about being treated like a chess piece by your bosses.  This is big business, and my wife is big business.  Right now you need to work, and as long as you keep your chastity and faith in God, and are safe and happy, then everything else can pretty much be ignored.  Eat good foods that are comfortable for your tummy, and drink lots of water.  Don't forget to pray.

Hey Pina.  Isn't this better than NYC?  Isn't it?

Another busy morning

Wow... Ramadan is slammed for me.  How are you, Sweetheart?  Are you enjoying your vacation?  Those rocks don't look very comfortable for walking around barefoot, but I'm sure you are enjoying the tropical weather.  Beware of mosquitoes!  I got up at 1:30 am this morning.  It can't be helped, I find myself cooking and working at the same time.  I had spaghetti today, then went back to sleep after the dawn prayer.  I'm forced to sleep in nowadays, otherwise I would get no sleep at all, so I woke up again at 8:30 am.  Cleaned up after the cats, watered the plants, took a shower, then went downtown to pick up my Dad's prescription and get a replacement glass for my parents' window.  The hospital pharmacy was packed like sardines, so I gave the slip to them and will be back later to pick up the drugs.  After this I'll take a nap, before voice training.

Natty, are you sailing?  Isn't life like sailing, isn't life like a dream?  You beautiful girl.

It's good to see you working again, Pina.  Doesn't it make a huge difference to be in Europe and being treated well?  Doesn't it feel so much more relaxed, so much more secure?

Roam

Wait... I'm mistaken.  El Salvador is Gangster Central, not Nicaragua.  I don't suppose there's anything to visit in El Salvador.  Me, I have to be like a tree, stay put, grow strong powerful roots to bear fruit for my loved ones.  Certainly travel is for the young.

In and out of the Middle East as quickly as possible, huh Natty?  That's a good idea actually.  I don't particularly like the thought of your being dangled like a carrot.  How's the tummy?

Busy morning

Nicaragua?  Isn't that like Gangster Central?  Please be careful Sweetie, and take care of yourself.  Beware of mosquitoes!  I've had a busy morning, so I can't say too much because I need to take a nap before voice training.  I had to clean my mother's bedroom as usual, and I stayed up most of the night as usual.  It is Ramadan after all.  I love you.

Natty, you look like Indiana Jones!  Yes, Petra is very famous.  I take it you are still not quite used to the options you have in local cuisine.  But I'm sure there is a McDonald's or KFC or Pizza Hut there.  Don't mess around with your tummy, OK?
