Aw

Ah easy sailing right now, my independent Queen?  I hope the move was nice and smooth for you.  It seems you had some choice buddies to help you out.  I never had an easy time moving.  Maybe it's different for guys, maybe it's because I'm a loner, maybe it's because I'm a slob.  I don't know.  I could do without moving ever again.  InshaAllah.  The rain has been coming down everyday, right now everything is grey, from this house I cannot get away, I went to get some scallions and lime just now and was caught in a wet melee.  I like the cool weather.  I love it nice and cool.

Aw Natty, I understand you want to keep all your friends.  I had few friends throughout my life, and I wasn't able to keep them.  Some of them were put off by the intense lack of privacy of my life, others passed away.  I still hang out with them in my dreams, and there we even work together.  We can't look after all of our friends, especially when they have no desire to look after themselves.  My concern is to look after you.  And the world is on my shoulders, but I do it for love.  All the recent stress has had an effect on your tummy.  Please drink lots of water.

Aw Pina, whether or not life is hard, we still get lonely.  I wish I had my wife with me now, but I don't want her to suffer on my account.  I must pay to make sure she lives well.  And life is going well right now, isn't it?  Tropical islands, good food... and you are such a beautiful girl.  Life is good right now, so please give thanks to God.  Alhamdulillah.

 

 

You can't save everyone

Wow, boobies!  Anyway, so don't even try.  You can't save people who don't want to be saved.  One has to be of a temperament to believe before he/she believes, and that is God's Will.  Do you remember how much you resisted stepping up and "raising your game"?  So just leave them alone.  Let them snort cocaine until their eyes pop out.  Leave them to smoke 5 cigarettes in their mouth, one cigarette in each nostril, and one cigarette in each ear if they want to.  Just leave them alone.

Did you get that, Natty?  You can't save everybody!

Aw, Pina you just need love...  Well you're beautiful, so relax and enjoy.

Check out this jumbo shrimp!  This freshwater shrimp grows wild, usually in the southern states.  But this one was caught locally!  You can gauge the size of this jumbo shrimp by the newspaper it's resting on.  It can be farmed, but this one was caught wild.  With a shrimp this huge, you have to eat the head.  No, don't crunch on the shell!  Eat the soft parts in the head, like the brains.  Don't be squeamish!  The flavor is awesome!  Well no, I don't know what it tastes like, I've never had it: this is someone else's shrimp.  I'm sure it tastes like shrimp.  When I get some of this shrimp for us inshaAllah, I'm going to stuff the head with cream cheese and cook it in hot sauce.

Qur'an 20170802

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

23.  But if any reject faith, let not his rejection grieve you.  To Us is their return, and We shall tell them the truth of their deeds, for Allah knows well all that is in hearts.

24.  We grant them their pleasure for a little while.  In the end shall We drive them to a chastisement unrelenting.

25.  If you ask them Who it is that created the heavens and the earth, they will certainly say, "Allah."  Say, "Praise be to Allah."  But most of them understand not.

Luqman  31:23-25

Same old normal

Yeah, it's just the same old average day.  How's the move going?  I hope everything is easy for you.  I have always hated moving, myself.  Now that I'm older, I just want to plant my roots deep and be like a grand old tree.  InshaAllah.  It's been raining a lot lately.  I bought my dinner last night at the night market.  Just some fried chicken and some fish sausage.  The cats love it when I buy that stuff.  Snack time!  I just give them the soft rib bones and tail gristle.  They love that stuff.  It's been a while since I made my own fried chicken.  Since everybody else makes it, I don't bother in making it myself.  So if I have the money, I just buy it.  I usually only cook to save money or to eat what others can't make or to experiment.  My experiments lately have been experiments in purity.  Like that marinara sauce I made the other day to go with my tofu.  Health food!  Mostly because my stomach is so sensitive.

Hey Natty, you absolutely gorgeous babe!  Being in the city kind of dilutes your impact, since there's so many people there and you keep your distance from them.  I pity the boys on campus, who have to gaze upon how hot you are and try to pay attention to the lecturer at the same time.  Sexy face.

Pina, it almost seems like you are shooting propaganda photos for the Greek Orthodox Church.  Beautiful shot, though.  While you are in Amsterdam, please eat a herring for me.  One for you, and one for me.  Take a snapshot of it!

Hello

Not much going on here right now.  Just waiting for the sun to come up.  I'm sleepy, but if I tried to go back to sleep I would probably just toss and turn.  Maybe I should eat something?  There's some watermelon in the cooler, and I just bought a whole bunch of fresh tofu.  I made a variation of marinara sauce yesterday, just as an experiment but mostly because I didn't want to go to the supermarket.  It's been raining a lot lately.  It's a blend of chilli and onion puree, fresh basil and tomatoes.  Turned out quite lovely.  No need for salt or pepper.  It was a perfect match with a block of fresh tofu.  Health food!  I think I'll have a tofu omelet later.

Hi Erin.  How's the move going?  I pray that everything is going smoothly for you.  I visited your Facebook page for the first time today.  I apologize for not doing so sooner, but I don't use Facebook.  It's a lame excuse I know, but it's sincere.  Please forgive me.  Since I don't have a Facebook account, I can only view 4 posts at a time.  I am pleased that you are writing.  Please write and write and write to improve your expression skill, you don't have to show it to anybody.  I am not particularly happy that you got yourself involved in gangster politics.  I admire your bravery, but it is not necessary that you do so: according to my calculation, you would have risen up anyway because God sponsored you.  Endorsing the dominance of one gang over the other is not going to slow down illegal arms trade in the Middle East (and subsequently, the rest of the world).  What's more important is that you look after yourself, since I can't afford to marry you yet.

Hey Natty, I do want want to play drums more.  Thank you for caring about the music.  Usually, strangers care about the music more than the people closest to me.  I would like to play musical instruments more than I do nowadays, but I cut back in that department to focus on singing, and writing and recording music.  This will be the case for the rest of my life.  I also have to take care of my wives (this includes yard work and cooking), and that is very time consuming.  Alhamdulillah, thank God that Allah has manipulated my career so much that my wives will be around me all the time while I work.  I do need a set of drums to produce the next album after I finish "Woo Hoo".  Ya Allah, please grant me all the computer and musical instruments that I want.

There are people who ignore the Signs of God as if they were deaf, and didn't hear them.  By Allah, These people will have a grievous penalty.

Pina, you can really take nice photos.  I'm sure you know that if you had used a flash, you would have brought out the detail of the people and other things in the foreground.  You like tropical beaches, don't you?  Well, who doesn't?  That place looks like a tourist trap though.  But I guess a tourist trap would be the place of choice if one were to go to a tropical beach.  Otherwise, one might get kidnapped by pirates.

Best wishes

I hope everything is going well and smoothly on your move.  Please have confidence and faith in yourself, and do not give up.  You're going to do absolutely great, inshaAllah.  I want you to know that I am with you and I love you even though I'm not there to do some heavy lifting, for that I am sorry.

Natty, I love your personal style.  You look both classy and cute, also relaxed and confident.  What a beautiful girl.

Hi Pina!  Are you having fun?  What are you eating?  Please take some snapshots of your food, I wanna see!

I'm currently working on the vocals of the 8th song from Shadowplay's next album "Woo Hoo", titled "The Curse".  I want to remind all you folks out there that "Woo Hoo" is a dark album, so please do not expect much sweetness and light from it, even though you hear me sing nice and pretty songs everyday.  I have also put up a new wallpaper for you with my favorite hairdo, the Dutch bob.  This hair fits every outfit, and I'm tempted to use it for every outfit, but of course there will always be something better.  The title of the wallpaper is "Gothic Girl", and those are gravestones.  I'm not Christian.
