Gunhild Carling is so awesome!
Hi Natty! What's going on with you today? I'm happy to see your having fun with your beautiful group of people. Are you getting ready to go globetrotting again? It's time to soak up some sunshine on a tropical beach, right? It's hot here today, but not so hot that I had to nap on a chair this before voice training. Yes dear, I'm trying to cheer up. As long as I'm left alone when I'm grumpy, I calm down quite easily. Plus, it's not that hot today. I had steamed rice with eggs for lunch. Simplicity! Best for a 2 hour set. Yes, I had my eggs sunny side up as usual. Almost perfect, except that I broke one yolk when I was plating the eggs. I didn't ruin them completely, it just leaked out the bottom a little. Oh well, there's no such thing as perfect in this life anyhow.
I love this crazy lady! She's so awesome!

Qur'an 20190211
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
56. Say, "I am forbidden to worship those whom you call upon other than Allah." Say, "I will not follow your desires. If I did, I would stray from the path, and be not of the company of those who receive guidance."
57. Say, "For me, I be on a clear Sign from my Lord, but you reject God. What you would see hastened is not in my power. The command rests with none but Allah. God declares the Truth. And God is the Best of judges."
58. Say, "If what you would see hastened were in my power, the matter would be settled at once between you and me. But Allah knows best those who do wrong."
(The Cattle 6:56-58)

Angels
Hi Natty! Aw, I want to browse the art exhibit with you! 😢 That would be so romantic. We could get some coffee afterwards, then maybe go to a poetry reading. People do so love to communicate with hidden messages, especially when they don't have the nerve to say what they mean to the face. I certainly get that a lot, especially for being a musician all these many years. I suppose you could call it "innuendo" or whatever. The threats got so numerous, that YouTube posted them as preferred and recommended videos. And there I thought that Google was the most powerful artificial intelligence... Hey Google, people do not like threats OK? That's actually quite a stupid thing to do. "Artificial Intelligence."
It's either that, or they have humans monitoring me. Yeah, Rock and Roll is a dangerous business, but Allah has kept me alive for some reason. Alhamdulillah. God would never speak directly to humans (Moses being the exception). God would communicate either by inspiration or through a messenger. This evening as I was about to turn on the tap to water the plants, I saw a baby python on the grass. I split its head open with a PVC pipe.

Qur'an 20190210
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
50. Say, "I tell you not that with me are the Treasures of Allah, nor do I know what is hidden, nor do I tell you I am an angel. I follow what is revealed to me." Say, "Can the blind be held equal to the seeing?" Will you then consider not?
51. Give this warning to those in them is the fear that they will be brought before their Lord: except for God they will have no protector nor intercessor, that they be wary.
(The Cattle 6:50-51)

Amy Winehouse
Hi Natty! How are you doing, Movie Star? I hope you are having tons of fun being you, you are MY girl. You are beautiful, and I love you. I don't really watch a lot of movies as people assume I do. I just like what I like, which are the ones that I have some sort of emotional connection to. Which is why I made you watch "Airplane 2", because that was a childhood movie. Sorry about that. You don't have to watch it ever again. Nowadays there is a glut of movies available, and I don't make any effort to find the good ones. I watch a lot of YouTube, and if Google happens to put an interesting movie in my path, I just might try to find it. I saw a trailer for "Final Girl" last night. That's a vehicle for your big brother, right? I thought he didn't like to play the bad guy. I'll try to look it up inshaAllah. The trailer looks pretty good.
Google also pushes a lot of music my way too. Lately there's been a lot of Amy Winehouse. I do like her, I like her singing and her music, but I don't like her language. She might as well be rapping, and I don't like rap. It's not as if I didn't swear, I do: I just don't swear as a common form of expression. And as a chick singer, I find vulgarity to be unfeminine. That's my style, and she has her style. I do do a cover of "Love Is A Losing Game" which is rather milquetoast lyrically compared with her other songs even though I did have to rearrange a few words, but I suppose I should find more of her stuff to sing. I guess I need to listen to her more. I do have another song of hers in mind. But again, I need to rearrange the words to make it palatable for me to sing.

Qur'an 20190209
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
40. Say, "Think you to yourselves if there came upon you the Wrath of Allah or the Hour, would you then call upon other than Allah? If you are truthful!"
41. Say, "No, on God would you call, and if it be God's Will, God would remove which occasioned your call upon God, and you would forget which you join with God."
42. Before you We sent to many nations, and We afflicted the nations with suffering and adversity, that they might learn humility.
43. When the suffering reached them from Us, why did they not learn humility? On the contrary, their hearts became hardened, and Satan made their acts seem alluring to them.
44. But when they forgot the warning they had received, We opened to them the gates of all things until, in the midst of their enjoyment of Our gifts, of a sudden We called them to account, and they were plunged into despair.
45. Of the wrongdoers the last remnant was cut off. Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher of the worlds.
46. Say, "Think you if Allah took away your hearing and your sight and sealed up your hearts, who, a god other than Allah, could restore them to you?" See how We explain the Signs in various ways, yet they turn aside.
47. Say, "Think you if the punishment of Allah comes to you, whether suddenly or openly, will any be destroyed except those who do wrong?"
(The Cattle 6:40-47)

Friday
Hi Natty! Are you excited and busy today? I guessed you would be. I hope you are having tons of fun being a supermodel, and making lots of money for yourself. Now is the time for you. It's the quiet time that gets a bit lonely, but really my darling you are not alone. I'm always thinking of you and longing to be with you. You are such a beautiful girl, and I love you. I will marry you inshaAllah. So don't you worry about a thing, OK? Everything is going to turn out just great for us inshaAllah.
Things don't really slow down over here. If it seems that I take my time, that's not true. I'm so backed up that it's futile whether I hurry or don't. So I go as fast as my heart and my overgrown feet allow me. That yard needs work. I need to cut the grass. I have a lot of computer work to do. Shadowplay's next album is going so slowly, but I supposed that is a blessing in disguise because I can't bash on the drums whenever I feel like it. There are all these daily chores that need to be done. Then I need time to cook my food. I need time to eat my food. I need time to clean up the kitchen. Ugh, I've started to think of what more to do when I can afford to pay for it inshaAllah. When the time comes my love, and you have to walk beside me, you're going to have to slow down to keep up with me. I'm SOOOO slow... 😪
