Letter to Julia 20120405

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

Hey, did you know that Indiana Jones' dad is James Bond? Both Sean Connery and Roger Moore made 7 Bond movies each, but Roger Moore got the raw end of the deal because Ian Fleming ran out of material after "For Your Eyes Only". I think. But I don't think that either is a better Bond than the other, it's just that one had better access to the best writer. Oh, I do so hope the next Bond movie will be a great one. They certainly should know the right ingredients to make it a great flick. There have been so many awful movies lately. It's so sad about the complete lack of creativity in the movie, and TV business nowadays. It's so sad to see people burn their lives out quickly in front of the camera for reality shows, for the sake of entertainment and fame, and because of the lack of creative writing and direction puts them through that grinder. But then again, none can create like Allah.

As you know, I have to hang out on the Internet, specifically SL, as much as possible because I'm too damn reclusive to be a rockstar. Rockstars are supposed to hang out at nightclubs, so instead I hang out at virtual nightclubs. SL is so very handy to me because I don't have to be face to face with any real people, and I don't really have to say much of anything to anyone. I assure you I'm a good girl, insyaAllah. Yesterday, I did get tricked into clicking the wrong dance ball, but I won't do that again. InsyaAllah. I'm just there to wear pretty clothes and dance.

Qur'an 20120405

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

48. But when the Truth comes to them from Ourselves, they say, "Why are not sent to him like those which were sent to Moses?" Didn't they reject which were formerly sent to Moses? They say, "Two kinds of sorcery, each assisting the other!" And they say, "For us, we reject it 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

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!

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

Hi there, beloved Julia. How are you feeling? I pray you are not overworking, and are eating properly and maintaining your prayers. I'm trying not to overwork, but I do seem to have a lot on my plate right now... I don't quite understand how I got so busy. Maybe it's just me: I need to be lazier, I suppose.

Ah, it's the right time for you to watch a James Bond movie! I'm sure you have seen all the Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig movies, being the young 'un that you are. But the best Bond movies are the ones that Ian Fleming wrote. No, I haven't seen all the Bond movies because I don't really like the George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton Bonds. Sure, we all love the high tech toys, but it's the intrigue that makes the best Bond movie. Also, the bad guy has to be someone you would love to hate, but the 2 007 movies I want you to watch right now, even though the villains aren't the worst, are "From Russia With Love" and "The Man With The Golden Gun".

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

Yeeeeaaaarrrrggghh!!! I suddenly have too much to do, with not enough time to do it. Talk about time distortion! Today I've been on the go ever since I woke up. Today is Sunday, so I had to clean my Mommy's house. I now have 3x the yard work to do: my own yard, and my grandfather's house next door, which is twice as large as my yard. And I totally have to clear out all the trash and landscape it, so that it looks pretty. I also increased my rehearsal time to 2 hours, for the purpose of stamina training. Have to spend the time to get the skill, y'know. And right now, I'm writing a love letter to my sweetie Julia, while doing the laundry. How are you, Precious? Are eating properly and maintaining your prayers? I love you!

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

Oh Dearest, is it the end of March already? My, how time flies. Soon, it will be the fasting month again, then your birthday, then the next Victoria's Secret fashion show... all that hoopla over a few seconds on the runway! Time certainly goes by quickly nowadays, it's a sense of time distortion really.

You must have realized already that there is a sort of "selectionism" existing in mass media. Most likely because there is a sort of modern day Pharoah elated in his power and wealth and control as to who becomes stars, and who doesn't. Back in the early days of mass media, there were chances for those in front of the camera to possibly hold a position of power, especially over their own lives, but that doesn't seem to be the case now. Today, everyone in front of the camera seems to be squeezed dry as quickly as possible. Nobody becomes a "star" like the old days. It has become much easier to dig up or distort truth or fact because of new technology. Also to determine who is to live or die. But the tyrant has no power over the power of Allah.

I don't think I was all that talented 30 years ago. I had to practice long hours daily, and perform live regularly for whatever skill I have today, now that I'm old. But it was so dangerous, it's a miracle of Allah that I'm still alive. I would have never achieved success by what was happening to me back then, no matter how hard I worked, or who I tried to befriend. I'm still surprised that I managed to leave the States alive, but Allah decreed that I must reunite with my mother, so I did.

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

My love, how I long for you and for our finally being with each other. Right now, I am striving towards our marriage with prayer and all that I can do, but we are so close to Judgement Day. The forces we deal with are so huge, so out of the range of our limited strength. We have no option but to survive on the Mercy of God. I have no more emotion or pity for any unbeliever, I am concerned only for our own faith, Julia. Please don't be too obsessed or fooled by all the materialism you encounter in your daily business: everything that is material will be crushed to dust eventually, including the things that we build. Our home, our love nest, our music and fashion empire, all goes back to Allah.

The Internet itself could be the Beast. Are the humans absolutely sure, in their arrogant daily machinations, that they are the ones in control of the machine? Is fiction like Skynet actually a building block of reality? Could awareness be "burned in" like a motherboard? No, the arrogant humans didn't create the Beast, though they may think they did. Allah makes the Beast out of the earth, and it will speak to them, as a Sign of Judgement Day. All this weather distortion and monsters is going to turn something working within mass media into a monster, among other things.

Ha... I don't want to talk of monsters here in this odd little love letter. I pray for a happy and normal marriage with my Julia amidst this imperfect world, amidst this monster of a situation we have to deal with, with each other. Oh, it's so entertaining! But we must slow it down, we must try to slow things down, Julia. Which is one reason why I love this little house: it's easier to maintain. Plus, I'm lazy.

Qur'an 20120328

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

91. For me, I have been commanded to serve the Lord of this city, God Who has sanctified it, and Whose is all things. And I am commanded to be of those who bow in Islam.

92. And to rehearse the Qur'an. And if any accept guidance, they do it for the good of their own souls. And if any stray say, "I am only a warner."

93. And say, "Praise be to Allah Who will soon show you God's Signs, so that you shall know them." And your Lord is not unmindful of all that you do.

The Ants 27:91-93
----------------------------------------------------------

I am only a warner.

Praise be to Allah Who will soon show you God's Signs, so that you shall know them.
