Have you ever wished you go back in time and redo some of the things you did that weren't good enough? Well, Allah has given me such an opportunity. I lost all the masters to my music when I lost my home in the USA, so I can't remix or re-record any of the old songs I've done. Which is a shame, because Allah increased me in knowledge as a singer at that same time. But as I was trying to crack this home design software problem, I discovered a folder of instrumentals I did from "Shadowplay's Greatest Hits part 3: the Struggle to be Normal" in the deepest recesses of my ancient laptop! Not that it means anything to anyone except me, but I'm very grateful to Allah for the second chance. I'm a much better singer now than when I copyrighted the album in 2006. Something else to do! But in a strange way, it's also perfect timing. **secret**
Meanwhile, it's looking like I'm going to have to divide a rectangle into smaller squares for the plan of your house, which sucks because my mind is still a blank regarding the matter. And I will have to draw what the house will look like from all 4 facades, not just a top view. So PLEASE help me with the plans of your house, Julia! Don't you have a dream about your home? Obviously there's no rush, because I'm still dirt poor. But when the money comes insyaAllah, everything will be in panic mode, mostly because my parents are old.

Hi there, my beautiful, beloved young lady Julia. How are you feeling? I used to think you enjoyed all the attention being focused on you, after all it is part of our business. I'm sorry for thinking so. Please remember that the goal of our marriage is to slow down, and raise a family. Ya Allah, please protect and heal us.
I have been clearing out the compound my grandfather's old house stands on. I think I first told you this about a year ago. Back then it was overgrown with vegetation, vines, trees, thorns, snakes, monitor lizards, etc etc. Since them I have managed to make the area comparatively safe to walk around, insyaAllah. There is still much work to do, plus I'm always having to cut grass with my trusty weed whacker, because weeds grow lightning fast out here in the tropics. Then there's all sorts of rock, metal and asbestos planted into the soil. Plus, my family used a section of the lot to dump cement and tile, which have since frozen in place. I either need a backhoe to remove it, or think of a creative way to turn it into a work of art, because only vines can grow on that. Most of the lot is still fertile, despite its neglect. Except by the drain by the road to the elementary school on the east side, is very hard and barren, but if weed and thorns can grow there, then anything else can, right? Phew. The south side of the compound is the largest and most fertile, with many banana trees. My grandfather built some outdoor bathrooms which I'm in the process of tearing down right now. Hey, I like destroying things! I work like an ant, taking things apart little by little, and patiently. InsyaAllah. Or it could be that I'm lazy? Yes, I'm lazy. I need to vacuum my bedroom, and scrub the shower. Yawn.
When some of them are asked to spend in charity, they say,"Why should we feed those who if God had willed, God would have fed?" Then they say, "When is this promise that you speak of?" What they are waiting for is a single blast, and it will seize them while they are bitching among themselves.

It's almost ridiculous how much difficulty I'm having getting started on your house plan. One program after another, into the trash. Contaminated data too: it's like playing Russian Roulette with my computer. Someone tried to make a suggestion that I use a draw program, like CorelDraw, which I already have. But they don't get it: draw programs are for people who can draw. I can't draw. I need visual aids to help me with my vision when it comes to drawing. Sure, I could divide a box into smaller boxes, but I want to build something you would love. This house is all about you. Also, I don't think it's that simple. Ya Allah, please help me build a beautiful home for my Julia.

Julia!! I TOLD you I couldn't draw! So please don't get mad at me. I haven't even started on the house plans yet. Well' I have, sort of: I've been staring at a blank square for the past week. Those home design programs I bought were worthless: software out here in the Orient is not the same as that out west. Even if you were to dig through the bargain bin at Staples for a 10 year old program, it would be more reliable than anything you would get out here. Plus, I can't draw. But I think I've found a program I'm comfortable with...

Hi there, my beautiful young angel princess Julia. How are you feeling? I suppose you could call it insanity to watch nothing but the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show over and over again, but as long as I get to see my sweetie, then I have no problem with it. I'm crazy about my Julia! Besides, YOU are the one who participates in it, so I guess that makes us compatible or something. Um, yeah!
What IS perceived as insane is that I am trying to build a rock and roll business out here in the Perlis backwoods, but Allah inspires me to stand my ground here. InsyaAllah. Just call "The man who can't be moved". Allah can make anything happen! At the very least, Allah has made it nearly impossible for others to "jack my style" or "copy my swagger", or even my "digital spit". No! Please don't play anymore Black Eyed Peas! Play something out of "Ghost in the Machine" instead. Do you remember the basics of the supernatural? There is not one, but two dominant species on earth: the humans and the jinns. There is no relation between God and the jinns: the jinns are banished to earth like the humans, until Judgement Day. Those who worship the jinns are in error.
The 3 messengers said to the people of the city, "Truly we have been sent on a mission to you." The people accused them of being mere humans, and liars at that. The people said they saw an evil omen in the messengers, and threatened to punish them. THe messengers said, "Your evil omens are with yourselves, if you are admonished? No, you are a people transgressing all bounds!" Then there came running from the farthest part of the city a man, saying, "O my people, obey the messengers. Obey those who ask no reward of you, and have received guidance."

Have you ever noticed if you were to buy a diamond ring, say a simple one carat diamond in a classic 6-prong setting, that everything is firmly set in place, and is as hard as metal and diamond can be? Then ponder upon 5 million dollars worth of smaller diamonds sewn into a bra, shouldn't the bra be as hard as metal in order to firmly hold all those rocks, which happen to be very, very close to each other? For if pressure were to be applied to a bra the way a bosom can, wouldn't it stretch the material of the bra, and pop those diamonds out as if one were to pop overripe pimples? Say if an excited girl, intoxicated with having to walk the runway with 5 million dollars worth of diamonds caressing her boobies, starts screaming and throwing her hands in the air, puts sufficient pressure on the bra to pop a diamond out of its setting, and puts the eye out of some unfortunate wardrobe attendant? In that case, the stone would probably be found. But a small diamond would most likely be lost within the glittering dust on the runway. The same uncertainty principle would apply if the bra were made of titanium: never underestimate the power of the bosom. Which would explain why the Fantasy Bra has been going down in value, and the stones not so densely packed together. Meanwhile, the next Fantasy Bra falls to ground with a loud CLANG!!!!
Remember that you cannot admonish most people, as they are stuck in their ways like mules propped up for ploughing. But there are some who fear God in secret, and for these people God has promised them a great reward.
Once upon a time, there was a great city. God sent 2 messengers to the people of the city to warn them, but they were rejected. Then God strengthened them with a third...

Hi there, my beautiful young princess Julia. How are you feeling today? Have you figured out what this "fame" thing is yet, as it pertains to you? It's basically the situation backstage at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, but it's 24/7 and not so hectic (sometimes), and they follow you everywhere. Kind of like Shadowplay TV! But please don't blame me for it, I'm in the same boat as you, except I've been tolerating mass media for 20 years more than you. I am here to give you your own family, and some love, happiness and security. InsyaAllah. You are in this situation because Allah gave you great beauty, and I am in this situation because Allah gave me a little music. That also makes our situation a spiritual one, so please trust in Allah and do not despair, for the loop is a very deep and complex one, and does not end with death. But in the next life, Allah grants the righteous escape from the hellish loop, into something much easier and blissful, with none of that raging emotion and dissatisfaction of this world today. Wouldn't that be nice?
Today, I confirm again that I love you, and I want to marry you. So please excuse me now as I am thirsty, and I need to drink some water.
