Top of the mountain

And feeling sleepy.  Oh, how nice to sleep.  Took my Dad to the hospital to have a tooth removed.  Waited for him by the old water tower.  Water, water.  Death ants in my drinking water.  How could that water be sweet?  So many people at the hospital.  Rush.  What a horrible place the hospital is...  So frightening, they won't allow photos.  Such a hot morning.  Fell asleep at the foot of the gazebo by the old water tower.

Qur'an 20170704

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

71.  Say, "Do you see?  If Allah were to make the night perpetual over you to the Day of Judgement, what god is there other than Allah, who can give you enlightenment?  Will you not then hearken?"

72.  Say, "Do you see?  If Allah were to make the day perpetual over you to the Day of Judgement, what god is there other than Allah, who can give you a night in which you can rest?  Will you not then see?"

73.  It is out of God's Mercy that God had made for you night and day, that you may rest therein, and that you may seek of God's Grace, and in order that you may be grateful.

Hi Honey

How are you feeling today, my love?  There's nothing much to report today.  We must be grateful for the mundane, because it can really get exhausting when one gets hammered everyday.  I woke up at 5 am.  I don't really like mornings but I have been running out of time lately, so I wake up early, do the morining worship, then try to get as much done in the garden before the sun kicks in.  I planted an "inai" tree today, after the chores.  I trimmed the roses after cleaning up after the cats, watering the plants, and blowing dust out of my house.  Then I retreated into the air conditioning and had an early lunch.  Ooooh, it's time for a nap before voice training.

Natty, I don't mind the cold so much so it would be comfortable for me to be in Canada.  But I've already chosen to root here.  It hardly ever gets cold around here, so Northern women must love the weather here.  Me, I need the A/C to be happy.

Hi Pina!

Fish smoothie

Hi Erin, how are you?  Please don't be mad at me, because I love you.  I love my wife.  Sorry I'm late today.  My parents have been out of town.  They spent the Eid at my sister's home at the nation's capitol, and I went to pick them up at the airport just now.  I hope you're feeling great, Sweetie.  The world is at your feet, so please enjoy.

Hi Canada!  How are you, ambassador?  I made a fish smoothie for Floofy last night.  You wanna try some?

Hi Pina!  How's the tummy?

Mereka datang dari belakang

I can't rap, so I don't rap, so I don't listen to rap because I don't like rap, and no I'm not rapping right now.  In the case of Tupac Shakur, it seems clear to me that his death was because he was set up by a traitor.  Tupac kept up a good front, and he had some guards to his flank, but he was separated from his guards when he was killed.  His case is still legally unsolved but legally speaking since the murder occurred in Las Vegas, the town built and owned by gangsters, means that gangsters control the enforcement and judicial system.  Which also means that any justice will remain in the "allegation" stage.  It doesn't help that Tupac knew he was going to be set up and die.  So the only forms of justice available for such a situation is prevention and God's justice, which of course will have to wait until Judgement Day.  No folks, vigilantism doesn't help at all.  Once again, Tupac's flank was compromised and that is how he got killed.  No Erin, I have no control over your flank until after we are married.  You are going to have to analyze that yourself.

Copycat?  Natty, the next video is for you.  Yes honey, you are beautiful and sexy and I love you, but the lead singer for the Cramps wore that outfit before you.  Now anybody else who tries that look will only rehash the same effect.

That's because it was a leap of faith, Pina.  I think it's too bad that you had to jump out of an airplane to achieve a taste of awareness.  But it's not easy in any case so alhamdulillah, you're alive and OK today.

Dinner last night was steamed scad stuffed with Siamese hot sour seasoning and fresh tofu.  Heaven on earth.  I used the drippings at the bottom of the steamer to flavor the noodles I had for my lunch today.

Qur'an 20170701

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

48.  But when the Truth comes to them from Ourselves, they say, "Why are not sent to him like those which were sent to Moses?"  Didn't they reject which were formerly sent to Moses?  They say, "Two kinds of sorcery, each assisting the other!"  And they say, "For us, we reject it all!"

49.  Say, "Then bring you a Book from Allah which is a better Guide than either of them, that I may follow it, if you are truthful!"

50.  But if they hearken not to you, know that they only follow their own lusts.  And who is more astray than one who follows his own lusts, devoid of guidance from Allah?  For Allah guides not people given to wrongdoing.

Coward of the county

Oh don't worry, Honey.  Things will work out fine for us inshaAllah.  Is it better to be scared and do the "practical" thing, and make a living by getting a normal job and joining conventional society, taking and living to pay off loans etc etc?  Not for me it isn't.  It's too late for me.  If I did that, I would get wiped out for sure.  None of you would have any interest in me whatsoever.  At least by following this path, that was commanded to me by Allah by inspiration, I would have some chance of survival and prosperity.  Or should I say, absolute certainty?  InshaAllah.

Natty, you demon!  Don't be a copycat.  I noticed your Mom didn't leave a comment.  P.S. Put a shirt on, will you....

Hi Pina.
