So sleepy.....

Well, I have been working way into the wee hours of the morning.  At least it's not manual labor- I do so prefer to sit in front of a computer.  Why does time fly with computer time?  It's not as if time flies anyway.  I spent a lot of time in the kitchen yesterday.  Now, that is manual labor.  I made a sort of Irish stew beef hash, kind of like an Irish stew Sloppy Joe.  I cooked up ground beef, potatoes, onions and ginger in demi glace sauce, and reduced it down to a hash.  For a quick meal, you know: just get or cook up some bread, heat the hash, and stuff my face.  I just made some ramen noodles, which is enough to get me to dinner.  Then my Mom gave me some rice too, so now I'm stuffed.  And very sleepy.

Hi there, Natty!  What are you doing?  Hiding behind the scenes?  Don't hide!  Show me your pretty face!

It's nice to see you with a big smile, Pina.  Nice clothes, especially the sandals.  Very cool.  Beautiful park.  Sweet fruit?

This outfit isn't very flashy, but I felt kind of sedate.  At least it's not as slutty as a swimsuit.  Is a bikini slutty?  It's very slutty!  Imagine if a man wore that thing!

 

 

The slutty outfit

Erin, I still can't view the tour of the ice cream factory that you did.  I click on it, and it closes my browser window.  I just assume you did that intentionally.  It must be awesome ice cream.

Hey Natty, how's my Rock and Roll Babe?  Please don't make a habit of walking around alone in the big city.  You have a high profile, y'know.

Aw Pina, don't feel so blue.  Things are looking up for you!  We are all waiting for something, and I am as lonely as you are.  Don't worry Sweetie, I need to be married and have kids, so I won't abandon you inshaAllah.

That pink outfit I wore today turned out to be rather slutty.  What makes a slutty outfit in modern fashion anyway?  It seems all so esoteric and run-of-the-mill.  I suppose if it generates sexual tension, then it's a slutty outfit.  Islamic dress code is pretty obvious, so the slutty outfit is not a blessing in that respect.  But since an avatar isn't real, I wasn't really wearing a slutty outfit.  Let's just make it an example for you ladies of what NOT to wear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The selection of serpents

Oh honey, it's been a dreamy past couple of days.  You are my future and I work towards you.  You are becoming more and more beautiful.  I didn't get to see the tour of the ice cream factory though- the browser window closed when I clicked on the video.  Make sure you check with Instagram about that- we want your endorsements to be seen.  I have been studying the Rat Pack and Frank Sinatra lately.  There are 2 versions of Frank Sinatra's story: one with organized crime and one without.  I had to go to China to get the version with.  What is the truth, do you know?  Obviously if the truth is incriminating, one would deny and suppress it.  I am a servant of Allah.

Natty, that looks like a nice part of town.  There's and oldness to it, and there's not much traffic either.  Somehow I feel that you are on some kind of mission.  Nice dress, by the way.

Pina, you will come face to face with great wealth.  Don't get greedy, OK?

Aw Erin

You beautiful, tender hearted sweetheart.  I want to hold you and kiss you lots.  I love you, my darling Erin.  How is your day, honey?  I hope you are having a grand old time.  I have had a rather sweaty morning.  After doing my usual chores, I had to open up baby coconuts for my Mom.  She loves the stuff, so it looks like I will have to do it every day until I run out of coconuts.  I wonder if you will acquire a taste for the stuff?  I must say that it's quite a chore to harvest them and extract the juice.  And dispose of the waste- good thing the waste can be burned and composted.  Then my Dad bought me a new grass cutter, so I spent time inspecting and testing it, and loosening parts like the blade and spark plug.  Boy, it's as if they welded that spark plug in there.  That's the trouble with new stuff, you can't remove parts to maintain them.  The good news is that I can make your house inshaAllah look presentable now.  Well, the yard that is.  There's still the issue of a decrepit ruin of an old house standing there.  I want to see a nice, modest and modern house with all the modern amenities there.  But I need a few million dollars first, just for Erin.  Ya Allah, please grant me wealth enough to be and stay married.  No loans, please!

Hey Natty honey, if you're going to wear a baggy dress then wear a long dress.  A short baggy dress doesn't look good on you.  I think it's time that your bosses dress you up for your Instagram shots, and that you get paid an endorsement fee.  You are a VERY high profile gorgeous babe.  You're MY girl.  💚💚kisses💚💚

Same goes for you, Pina.  I think it's time that your bosses dress you up for your Instagram shots, and that you get paid an endorsement fee.  I'm starting to recognize what clothes are yours, and what isn't.  And I'm guessing that's a borrowed dress.  Right?  You look good in it.

Oh my God, I used emoticons!

Baby coconuts!

Oh, I'm so drowsy.  I can only splatter a few words, before I have to take a nap.  I spent the morning harvesting baby coconuts for my Mom.  Over at Ina's restaurant, there are some short coconut trees.  So I climbed up with a ladder and a saw, and took down as many baby coconuts as I could stand.  Bleah!  The trees were covered with coconut dust and black ants.  I thought these type of ants don't bite, but they do.  But I got away with quite a plentiful harvest, even though a few coconuts smashed when they hit the ground.  Hey, I'm not going to catch them.  Do you know how much those things weigh?  Would you like some baby coconut juice, Honey?  My Mom says that baby coconut juice is a fountain of youth.

Natty, we have to try fencing with each other someday.  Even though my feet are big and clumsy, I'll have to warn you that my right hand can be very honest.  I'll probably just let you win all the time.

Pina, what a lovely photo!  You must be very happy to be there.  One thing I noticed about you is that your photos always reflect your emotions.  I know you like baby coconut juice.  Want some?

 

Words

Those lyrics didn't seem quite right, don't you agree?  I'm pretty sure he said "proud man" not "bronze man".  Or was he referring to a suntanned bodybuilder or something?  Then I think he gave up on the lyrics at some point.  I remember when I was a kid, I screwed up the lyrics on David Bowie's "China Girl"....  "I stumble into town just like a sacred clown..."  And the rest of the band laughed at me.  That was my first band too.  I was fresh out of high school (no one would play with me in high school).  We didn't have a name.  I wanted to play "Karma Chameleon", but no one else did.  No one wanted to play the tune I wrote either, called "Let's Drop Dead".  Instead we played "Rio", "Nightbirds", "China Girl", and I forget what else.  Badly.  Probably only those 3 songs.  My lungs are clearing up slowly.  I still have poor control over my pitch but otherwise I feel fine.  Oh, that cough syrup makes me want to pass out.  Right now I'm watching "Wall Street".  Again.  How are you feeling, my darling?  Oh. you're so beautiful.  I love you so much.

Natty, aren't you going to share photos of your beautiful new apartment with us?  I'm getting a picture in my head of a mattress and some pillows on the floor, and nothing else.  Hey, don't copy me.  That's what I do.  Sans the mattress.  Well no, that's not exactly true.  I'm surrounded by equipment and computers, after all, I do sleep where I work.  You know something, even if I had all the money in the world, I would still keep a room like my bedroom, and sleep on the floor.  I like sleeping on the floor.

Oh, that's not it either Pina?  You're just bored?  But you get bored so easily.  Not me.  I have too much to do.  I don't get bored.

Qur'an 20170716

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

49.  No, here are Signs self-evident in the hearts of those endowed with knowledge, and none but the unjust reject Our Signs.

50.  Yet they say, "Why are not Signs sent down to him from his Lord?"  Say: "The Signs are indeed with Allah, and I am indeed a clear warner."

51.  And is it not enough for them that We sent down to you the Book which is rehearsed to them?  Verily, in it is Mercy and a Reminder to those who believe.

52.  Say: "Enough is Allah for a Witness between me and you: God knows what is in the heavens and on earth, and it is those who believe in vanities and reject Allah, that will perish."

53.  They ask you to hasten on the Punishment: had it not been for a term appointed, the Punishment would certainly have come to them, and it will certainly reach them- of a sudden, while they perceive not!

54.  They ask you to hasten on the Punishment: but of a surety, hell will encompass the rejecters of Faith!

55.  On the Day that the Punishment shall cover them from above them and from below them, and shall say: "Taste you of your deeds!"

56.  O My servants who believe!  Truly spacious is My Earth, therefore serve you Me!

57.  Every soul shall have a taste of death: in the end to Us shall you be brought back.

58.  But those who believe, and work deeds of righteousness- to them shall We give a Home in Heaven: lofty mansions which flow rivers, to dwell therein for aye- an excellent reward for those who do!

59.  Those who persevere in patience, and put their trust in their Lord and Cherisher.

60.  How many are the creatures that carry not their own sustenance?  It is Allah who feeds them and you, for God hears and knows.

61.  If indeed you ask them who has created the heavens and the earth, and subjected the sun and the moon, they will certainly reply, "Allah".  How are they then deluded away?

62.  Allah enlarges the sustenance to whichever of God's servants God pleases: and God grants by measure, for Allah has full knowledge of all things.

63.  And if indeed you ask them who it is that sends down rain from the sky, and gives life therewith to the earth after its death, they will certainly reply, "Allah!"  Say: "Praise be to Allah!" but most of them understand not.
