Chocolate

Yeah, I have a chocolate craving right now.  Where can I get some chocolate?  Hm...  How are you today, my darling?  Did you see the solar eclipse?  I've never seen one myself.  It must be cool... "a night without lights is so dark" (Sailor Moon)  How is work treating you?  I'm sure you are getting better and better, and better than ever.  Just make sure you keep working out and staying fit.  All this heat is making me lazier thna my usual lazy self, but I find it's easier to work out when it's hot.  I guess it's because I'm already sweating.  Ugh... I want air conditioning.  Lunch was nothing special, just hot dogs and fried onions in pocket bread.  Quick and easy.  And cheap.  But right now I want chocolate.

Hey Natty, did you go clubbing last night?  You cute thing.  I'm sure you broke.  They should know good business many hearts on that dance floor.  I hope you got your bosses to dress you up for clubbing.  They should know good business, right?

Hi Pina, still have the sniffles?  Oh, is that your mom?  Did she go and pick you up in Cuba?  That's sweet of her.

Do you like my dance outfit?  I think pink and yellow is an awesome combination.  This is my "Japanese dance outfit".

 

 

 

 

Working

How are you, Erin?  How's work?  How are your grandparents?  I'm almost at the end of "Woo Hoo", and I have one song left to sing, and that should be an easy one.  I've been reviewing all the other songs for consistency, and I've had to redo some of the vocal tracks to amp up the quality.  One thing's for sure, singing to record is not the same as singing live.  I don't get to ride on feedback, I have to ride on pure emotion and technical skill.  I could record with the PA system on, but I'm uncomfortable now as it is- I don't want the whole damn world listen to me do takes over and over again (even though the whole damn world IS listening to me do takes over and over again).  I haven't had any privacy in decades and I'm used to it, but I'll never get used to it when recording vocals.  It must be the headphones.

Natty, you beautiful girl!  You're such a naughty girl.  You're such a naughty kitty.  I wish I could give you a spanking, but we need to be married first.  Besides, I'll bet you're not in the mood for a spanking right now.  I'm not in the mood to give you one right now.  Too busy.

Oh you caught a cold, Pina?  That's what you get for running around half naked in a stranger's land- you get their viruses.  I'm sure you'll get over it inshaAllah.  I'm sure your body is as tough as your stomach.

 

 

 

Chee Cheah

Oh, what to do about the elderly?  Chee Cheah was my cat before Floofy came into my life, and I've known her for over 9 years now.  She used to be my Dad's cat, so she likes to copy my Dad, she even looks somewhat like my Dad.  She is about 14 or 15 years old now.  When Floofy became pregnant, she kicked poor Chee Cheah out of my house, so Chee Cheah had to stay outside.  That was about 4 years ago.  A couple of days ago I brought her back inside, to spend the rest of her life inside the house.  Floofy and Luca don't like Chee Cheah, but Doutzen doesn't seem to mind her.  Floofy hisses and bats at Chee Cheah's head with a fat and fluffy paw when Chee Cheah gets too close, but she doesn't use her claws.  Chee Cheah has never been good with the cat box in her life, but what to do?  I'll just have to clean up after her.  She's an old kitty.  She looks sharp in the photo below, but that's because I'm secretly and lightly holding her head up.  Don't you have a snapshot of you with your grandmother, Erin?  I wanna see.

Natty, you are just smokin' hot.  But please put a bra on.  You think you're SO smart by covering your face.  I would appreciate it if you dress modestly and behave like a lady.  **Sigh**  Please stay away from booze and drugs.  I won't marry an alcoholic or drug addict.

Aw Pina, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings when I said "slutty bikini", but you might as well be naked.  No, don't get naked for the Public Eye.  Be modest and dress modestly please.  And please stay away from booze and drugs.

 

 

 

 

Working

I'm close to completing "Woo Hoo", so I have working day and night amidst other stuff I have to do, to make sure it's the way I want it before I release it.  But I don't want to bore you with a musician talking about music.  How are you feeling, my love?  You can be so very formal at times but so can I, I guess.  How's work?  Please make sure you're eating right and getting plenty of rest.

Natty, oh what to do with the elderly?  Let's face it, not everyone is a beautiful young woman.  I want you to post a photo of you and your grandmother, on your mother's side.  I wanna see.

Pina, that's a slutty bikini shot!  You look good in a bikini, but still a bikini is a very slutty outfit.  Be careful someone doesn't Photoshop that photo, and put someone else's head on your body....

Folks, I have some new wallpaper for those of you who like that kind of stuff.  I found this great place that allows you to take snapshots within or with classic art in the background.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aw

Please don't cry.  I love you so much, you are so very beautiful.  I will take good loving care of you, I will keep my promise inshaAllah.  I'm sorry I couldn't get things done sooner, but I have to trust in God to get them done and done right.  I have become old.  I still have a little strength left, but I don't know how much longer.  I need kids, that's why I need 3 wives.  In time to train these kids to look after their mother when she gets old.

So Natty, how's your big brother?  I hope he understands that he needs to get the biggest role possible.  I think being James Bond would be just right for him.

Pina, you're being so quiet in Cuba.  I'm guessing that they need you more than you need them.

 

 

 

Please make a donation of a minimum of one USD to a worthwhile charity

It's good to feel good, isn't it?  That's what I have been describing to you ages ago, is the glimpses of happiness that God allows us to have while we are still alive.  It's not something we can seek, but it is a gift and it lasts oh such a short time.  You can't get it with drugs, you can't buy it with money: it is a glimpse of perfection.  Then you have to go back to work, and deal with the earth.  In heaven, it is more than just a glimpse.

Bah!  Curry doesn't keep in the cooler.  It goes sour like sour milk.  FAST.  I tried to salvage whatever meat and potatoes I could, but this batch of curry is officially a failure.  I made too much.  I still have some in the freezer which probably isn't sour, but once I defrost that I assume it's only good for one meal.  Which is a shame because it's 4 meals worth of curry.  Bah.

So do you understand who you are, Natty?  You are Rock and Roll royalty, by the grace of Allah.  This means that your conduct is everything.  You can't just say anything, because people will fall madly in love with you.  Beware of showing off, too.  The world is insane, and will go crazy over you.  Because you are MY girl.

So what's going on in Cuba, Pina?  I noticed none of your Dutch friends comment on your Cuba posts.  You were in Amsterdam before you left for Cuba, right?

 

 

 

 

The devil is a choice

After a while of chasing money, you have probably figured out that you have to choose between the devil and God.  The devil is everywhere, because God allowed him respite until Judgement Day.  So we can't defeat the devil, even though in the religion of God the devil is our greatest enemy.  But we can defeat the devil in people, including ourselves.  Simply by choosing not to follow him.  And that is the point, the reason why the devil is given so much freedom, is because God sees whether we choose the devil or God.

Yeah, everyone needs money I guess.  So to seek deception in legal contracts, I suggest you seek freedom for yourself, and delete clauses that enslave you.  Clauses that force you to work for free or worse, work to be indebted.  And work can be dangerous.  One might think how nice it is to be a woman, to be taken care of by the man, and leave the man to be the one to worry about corruption.  But that is only true in the truest Islamic sense- nowadays the woman has to be or share in earning a living.  I have tried to be true to God, and I still refuse to sell out my mission to please God with music, but it has always been difficult and with my life on the edge at all times.  But I trust in God to reward me, and get me married.
                            
By the same token, there's no need to abandon bosses that have always been kind to you.  Overwork is a problem, but that's because good help is so hard to find.  And it can be negotiable.  If you are doing business in person, here's a tip on how to spot a hypocrite: observe the expression on his/her face when he/she turns away from talking to you.  Keep your integrity and put your trust and faith in God, and God will help you.  InshaAllah.

So to emulate the Prophet, if it is the world and its glitter that you want, then I will provide for you then set you free in a handsome manner.  But if you seek to please Allah, then Allah will grant you a great reward.  InshaAllah.
