Qur'an 20200225

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

48.  But when the truth has come to them from Ourselves they say, "Why are not sent to him like those which were sent to Moses?"  Do they not then reject which were formerly sent to Moses?  They say, "Two kinds of sorcery each assisting each other!"  And they say, "For us, we reject 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.

The Narrations 28:48-50

The Tower

Hi Natty!  Oh, you're still in Paris?!  You must be awfully busy.  And you are looking absolutely marvelous, as usual.  I would love to be with you, strolling through Paris.  I wanted to point out the 3 towers at the 3 points in our world right now: one where you are, one in Japan, and one over here.  The one here is spiritual.  Check the news!

Peachy

Hi Natty!  How are you, my love?  I want you to know that I love you with all of my heart, and that everything will work out just fine for us inshaAllah, so please don't you worry about a thing.  Today is Sunday for me, and I'm a bit tired right now as Sundays are a lot of labor.  Nothing special on the menu, just a lot of rice.  I seem to have much rice at this time, so it looks like rice everyday for the next few days.  Nothing special though.  I've run out of time, so I'm not going to bother with fancy rice dishes.  If there's reason to celebrate maybe I'll go buy an expensive fish and spend the time to make sushi, but as it is it's going to be rice, an egg, with soy sauce.  No motivation to cook!  I just want to work!  Eat to live, not live to eat!  I do have a sudden craving for a peach melba, though.  But I settled for chocolate instead.  I have a big chocolate bar in my cooler.

The good kitty gets the snack

Hi Natty!  Oh, are you back in LA?  It is probably still cold there.  I love those khakis.  Goes well with those cute socks!  Natty, please don't get stressed out about those kids.  I chose to marry you, and I will stick to my decision inshaAllah.  Please trust me in this matter!  Instead of worrying about young girls, how about you pray that Allah grants me wealth enough to marry soon.  They're just kids Natty, and because of this music business we're going to get a lot of them.  I will most likely never meet any of them, or even make contact with any of them other than a TikTok video.  Their hormones rage and their bodies balloon, but they will grow up, learn to survive, have families of their own, forget about isolated rock stars, and perhaps they will discover and appreciate Allah.  These kids will grow up, but there will always be 13 year old girls.  It's the nature of this business.  Again, I will most likely never meet any of them.  I am a prisoner of the music.  I don't go anywhere, and the only women I meet on a daily basis are my mother and Mary Unknown7, and she's a nun.

My Mom gave me some fried chicken.  I don't eat the gizzard, so I was about to give it away.  One kitty jumped onto my counter top and tried to steal my fresh pita bread, while the other stayed on the ground and waited for me to pick the gizzard out of the Tupperware.  Which kitty got the snack?

Those kids

Hi Natty!  How are you doing today, my Precious?  I hope you are having a great time, and feeling happy and healthy.  Those kids sure are entertaining, huh?  I only know a little bit of Japanese (from watching a lot of Sailor Moon), but I have a somewhat grasp on what they are saying.  Cheeky little things.

It's Friday over here for me.  Mary Unknown7 is always late on Fridays, because she has to wait for me to get back from the mosque.  She's not going to start or do anything without me, after all, I'm the engineer and she's using my account and computer.  And it's my job to protect her.  Dinner was boring today.  I had some marinated meat and some brown gravy mix, so I had that with a couple a pita breads.  I don't think I'll ever do that again though.  That brown gravy mix is old but still good I think, but only good for stew which I hardly ever make.  Lousy for experimentation.  I have to really clamp down on my spending right now, because I bought too much junk food.  **sigh**

Geek fashion

Hi Natty!  How are you?  Are you enjoying your candy?  I'm enjoying the snacks I have, but oh my teeth aren't as young as they used to be.  I was quite the glutton when I was your age.  I wasn't fat though- I managed to stay trim.  I can't guzzle as much as I used to anymore, I have to be careful.  Dinner was pita bread and tofu in curry that I bought from the local restaurant over at the crossroads.  So good!  I could make my own curry, but alas I've run out of time.  Mary Unknown7 has become a big hit on the Internet, and I have to be with her at all the times she's online.  You know what I mean, like when the psychos start boasting about their guns, I'm the one who has to man the keyboard.

Your flower for today my lady, is a yellow rose from my garden.

Mary wanted to dress down today from the usual slutty dress or gown that rock stars have to wear.  So we opted for this geek fashion, glasses and all.  Today she looks like Velma from "Scooby Doo".  I didn't know at first where to send her for the club routine, but it turned out that she was just right for the blues club.  It was packed there, and they all seemed to know her and gave her a wide berth.  It was the perfect attire for chatting at NCI Kuula.

Snacks

Hi Natty!  How's it going?  Are you taking it easy?  Or are you like my cat, meowing at my bedroom door for me to open it, then walking in, meow a couple of times, then walk back out?  I hope you are feeling good and having a marvelous time, my dearest.  I do love you so.  I had a resolution earlier this month to keep my cooler as empty as possible, which I kept to the most part.  Then things got out of hand when I made that mango dip.  It needed crushed peanuts, so I went downtown to get a bag of peanuts.  Then I started to snack on the peanuts, which I bought for my mango dip snack.  I also have an unopened pack of clearance chocolate chip cookies which I bought the last time I was at the supermarket.  This morning I took my Mom to the supermarket, and saw that potato crisps and my favorite chocolate was on sale so I bought that.  My mother bought me lunch, which was curry pups and a box of chrysanthemum tea from the supermarket, and now that unfinished box of tea is in the cooler sitting next to the 2 jugs of tea I brewed today.  So I didn't save money this month after all.  Now the cooler is full again.  No, the food neither healthy nor efficient.  It's mostly junk food.

For your flower today my love, I found this photo of a pizza with edible flowers!  No, it's not pizza month again.  Pizza month is July.
