Letter to Julia 20130228

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

So I stay alone in my little house and quell my loneliness and longing for my Julia by playing the guitar.  The most talented guitarists that I've ever met were all the lonesome types, who stay in their bedroom and practise scales and solos and what not.  Well, that's not exactly accurate, for I pine for my Julia regardless of whether or not I play guitar.  Rather, I play guitar nowadays whenever the Batty-watty Bat Cat sneaks into my room and pounces on my guitar.  I suppose he wants me to put in some work.

Not that I make it a habit to follow the animal instincts of a 9 month old kitten (the human equivalent of a 6 year old child) because I have my own animal instincts to rely on.  Why not occasionally trust the instincts of the animal animal as opposed to the human animal, especially when one is too lazy to think for oneself?  Maybe it's not laziness.  After all, what are friends for?

Anyway, please stay pure, have faith, pray that Allah will bring us together soon, and give us a happy and secure life and afterlife.  I promise you that I will do the same, inshaAllah.  Purity goes with purity, regardless of the gossip.

Letter to Julia 20130227

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

Hi there, my beautiful young Julia.  How are you feeling?  I pray you are healthy and confident.  I was going to visit the dentist again today, but I had a major filling put in last Friday, and it's still healing.  So I decided to work instead, and as I write this letter to you, I am also trying to relax, and lying on the floor feeling miserable.

I am also reprogramming Shadowplay TV right now.  I'm adding more Jerry Springer, the JFK assassination, and I also have 3 old Bruce Lee movies and the latest James Bond.  I haven't watched any of them yet.  I'll tell you what I think of the Bond movie after I watch it.  Too busy being lazy!

Oh, but it rained all day on the 26th, so I posted this letter today instead.  I stayed indoors all day yesterday, except to go out in my raincoat to get more painkillers.  For dinner, I made chicken wraps.  Sorry, but I ate yours since you didn't show up for dinner.  It was OK.  I should have cooked the bread longer, and I really miss Best Foods mayo.

And you.

Hi Julia, my darling love!  How is my beautiful beloved feeling today?  I just had steak and fries for dinner.  Oh, so good!  I came across the perfect cut at the day market the other day.  Perfectly marbleized!  I mean, marbled.  It melted in my mouth like a Flake bar, and just as sweet!  I'm very fussy about my fries.  They have to be crinkle cut and perfectly fried in clean oil, and piping hot.  With lots of salt!  Want some?  I also made some simple fry sauce, out of mayo and ketchup.  We don't have Heinz and Best Foods here in Perlis, so it took me a few years to find brands that come close.  Especially with mayo.  I'm very sensitive to mayo: the wrong mayo can make me sick for days.  I've also yet to find buttermilk here in Perlis.  So much for ranch dressing!

Oh Julia.  Sorry it's been 3 days, but I've been awfully busy.  I went to the dentist yesterday.  Ouch.  Yes, again.  So I've been busy, and in pain at the same time.  I'm afraid I might have to open up your bottle of snake oil.  My bottle has run out, and the stuff does wonders for heat rash.  We'll go and find the snake oil guy together sometime in the future, insyaAllah.  I do love you so, and I want to marry you, so we can be together all the time, and do stuff together.

Did I tell you that it's election year here in Malaysia?  Yes, I know I told you that 2 1/2 years ago.  I hate politics, but I will be voting, insyaAllah.  I don't blame the government for being late.  Both you and I have seen the power of love and music, MASHAALLAH.

YOOOOOOOOOOOLIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Hey there Julia, my dearest.  I pray you are feeling healthy and confident.  I went to the dentist yesterday, I'm sure you noticed that.  Hm, I lost a day somehow.  I seem to do that frequently.  It's all the same day anyway, and I'm here waiting for you, and the rest of my life and afterlife to start.  In love and happiness.  InsyaAllah.

I'm watching "This is Spinal Tap" right now.  What an old movie!  I was living in the Aida House in Salt Lake City when I first saw this movie.  What chaotic days!  The Aida House was damn popular those days.  I don't know how that popularity happened, because I was totally clueless back then.  Anyway, Spinal Tap was a parody band, but they had awesome equipment.  I envy them that!

Letter to Julia 20130217

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

Hi Julia!  How are you feeling today, my beloved?  I am feeling lonely without you, of course.  I hurt myself this morning, which amplified my unhappiness.  I got up too early, then I started to lift heavy objects, the wrong way.  I pulled my left shoulder, which of course made it difficult for me to breathe.  I'm not a morning person to begin with- I don't wake up until 9am after going back to sleep after the dawn prayer, and I don't REALLY wake up until after the afternoon prayer.  But the pain is going away, alhamdulillah.

I'm sorry, Julia.  I'll try to maintain my strength for you, but we all of us humans grow weaker, not stronger, and Allah is the Strongest.  Plus, I'm still too poor to marry.  My love, I am longing to be happily married to you, for I do love you so.

Letter to Julia 20130215

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

It is not February 14.  Here in Malaysia, it is February 15.  So even if this love letter to my precious Julia is posted in the USA on February 14, it is not Valentine's day to me, because I posted this letter on February 15 in Malaysia.  I do not celebrate Valentine's day.  I have no faith in St. Valentine.  I put my trust in Allah, to protect and nurture my love.  I love my Julia.  I want to marry her.  I love her every day.  I don't need a specific day each year to love my Julia.  I love her all the time.
