No more good men

 

Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me because I love you.  Yeah, there's a lot to think about right now.  Like how helpless we are in the tides of destiny.

My source tells me that my enemies wish to own the land I live on, then execute me as a squatter.  They are already making moves on the land where my grandfather's old house stands next to my house, the land I plan to build my wife's house inshaAllah.  My uncle used to own that land but he recently passed away, so the pressure is on the heirs.  If I fail to own these two properties then I must move away from this village to be married.

They're not the only fake Muslims out there, it's like a plague.  The end of the world, rather.  Of course I recognize the type because I used to be like them.  But what makes a good man, anyway?  Not just to abstain from evil acts, but to share your strength with others.

Movie night

 

Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me because I love you.  I expect you are living out of a suitcase right now, and hanging out with your intellectual friends.  Well, keep safe and healthy as you work.

Damned pesky assassins!  The hassle is discovering how high the chain of command goes.  Anyway, it's movie night!  Watch a movie with me!  "The Man With The Golden Gun" (1974).  This has to be one of my favorite Bond movies.  Roger Moore is perfect for the role, and even the campy humor is excellent.  A lot of Asia today still looks like what's in the movie despite the skyscrapers.  The edge this movie has over modern Bond movies is that Ian Fleming wrote the story.  No modern writer would think of a third nipple.  Yes, I've been to that island.  They sold seashell ornaments.

No heaven on earth

 

Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me because I love you.  I'm guessing you're out of hiding and back in the bosom of your society.  Me, I'm just trying to stay ahead of plots inshaAllah, there's always someone plotting, this comes with the job.  Alhamdulillah I know how to cook.

My 2 boys Helmut and Otto have always been very close.  They're fully grown now.  A few days ago, they started fighting with each other, probably over micro-territories.  The threats gradually got more intense, until they attracted the attention of their father.  Adolf concluded that Otto was the troublemaker, and kicked him out of the house (my being the token human was the enforcer).  After a day of staying outside crying his heart out plus a nasty encounter with an orange cat, I let Otto back in at 11 pm and his father forgave him and allowed him to stay.  He's been a meek boy since.  There may be no heaven on earth, but today I got peace among my kitties, and to me that is a great blessing.  Alhamdulillah.

How to roll a burrito

 

Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me because I love you.  Like I said before, at least YOU get to have money.  Imagine having to put up with all this shit and not have any money.  So give your thanks to Allah.

Alhamdulillah.  Well here I am, broke as usual.  It's a good thing I've been into tortillas lately.  Burritos are very filling.  I don't roll my burritos like the video above.  I used to work graveyard at Taco Time, so I always leave one side of the burrito open.  Hey that was a great job, I should have kept it longer.  Until today, I always get catatonically drowsy at 5:30 am.  Yes folks, you can stuff burritos with rice if you want.  Have a "nasi campur" burrito.  Don't put any bones in there.

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

Say, "O humans!  Verily I am a messenger of Allah to you, Whose dominion is the heavens and earth.  There is no god other than God, Who gives life and death, so believe in Allah and God's messenger, the unlettered prophet who believes in Allah and God's words.  Follow him, so you may receive guidance."

The Heights 7:158

I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship other than Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.

The accompanist, again

 

Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me.  I love you.  You have found that you don't like society as much as before since you found fame.  You have what others want and if you gave it up, you would lose your sustenance and people will hate you more.  We must be grateful with what Allah gives us.

Mary doesn't need an accompanist.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  If Mick Karn were alive, that would be a tempting option.  How ironic that Angie Bowie talked about a dead man, while staring at him in the face.

The future is now

 

Natty, where are you?  Please talk to me.  I love you.  Natalie, I'm going to have to use sterner language when you don't talk to me.  You don't have to Instagram.  Just email me.   Say, "Happy Birthday" or something.

The end of the world, that is.  The men you see in the video are young.  Eventually, the ugly old man will come out.  Do you think the young men in the video will behave like stubborn old men and try to stop the ugly old man from taking them over?  Or will they be feminine, and submit to the ugly old man in them?

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.

8.  Or do they say, "He forged it"?  Say, "Had I forged it, then can you obtain nothing for me from Allah.  God knows best of that whereof you talk.  Enough is God for a witness between me and you.  And God is Oft- forgiving, Most Merciful."

Movie night

 

Hi Natty!  Are you having a crazy day, going around in circles? That's the Crazy Carousel!  How's the family doing?  I think you're having fun today.  So please keep safe and healthy.

It's movie night!  Watch a movie with me!  "Napoleon Dynamite" (2004).  This is an independent movie!  Nobody thought it would ever amount to anything.  It certainly made me laugh, I haven't done that in a while.  I hate to admit that Napoleon and Kip's suffering was funny.  Then it occurred to me why I must endure prolonged suffering: because it's funny.  The best part of the movie has to be uncle Rico's video:
