Letter to Julia 20140929

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

Everybody is in a big hurry!  Well, everybody is usually in a big hurry... to go nowhere.  Well, you could probably call this kampung "the middle of nowhere", but it's the center of the planet to me.  This is where I wish to settle down with my two beautiful wives inshaAllah, Julia and Erin.  I don't want to travel anywhere anymore.  I don't even like to commute.  So if anybody wants to reach my center of the planet, then they must be nice to my Julia and Erin.  So make sure you maintain your prayers.  Hurry, hurry!  Let them worship and fear Allah.

Yeah, I want them to be nice to my Julia and Erin because they are the most beautiful girls in the world to me.  They are my wives, so be extra nice to them.  My dearest and beloved wives, you are the center of the planet to me.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Wow, these kittens are plump!  I was giving them a bath, and with their fur wetted down, I could see exactly how fat they are.  They look like light bulbs, or balloons filled with water.  Such pudgy little kittens!  Yeah, I spoil them.  Unlike humans, cats are cute when they're fat.  Yeah, I know thin cats live longer.  Soon they will be at the age where I can let them outside.  Ya Allah please protect my kitties from harm and cat burglars.  Hey, this flea shampoo doesn't work!  I have to use it a little bit at full strength to stun the flea, then I can pick it out of the cat and pop it with the tip of my fingernail.  Who has the time for that?  I'm in a big hurry to be lazy and watch TV.  I want to snuggle with my wives!  I'm getting irritated.  Must be patient...

Qur'an 20140930

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

54.  It is God who created man from water: then has God established relationships of lineage and marriage: for your Lord has Power.

55.  Yet do they worship, besides Allah, things that can neither profit them nor harm them, and the disbeliever is a helper against his Lord!

56.  But you We only sent to give glad tidings and admonition.

57.  Say: "No reward do I ask of you but this: that each one who will may take a path to his Lord."

58.  And put your trust in God who lives and dies not, and celebrate God's praise, and enough is God to be acquainted with the faults of God's servants.

59.  God who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between in six days, and is firmly established on the Throne.  The Most Gracious: ask you then about God, of any acquainted.

60.  When it is said to them, "Adore you the Most Gracious!", they say, "And what is the Most Gracious?  Shall we adore that which you command us?"  And it increases their flight.

Hello my beloved darlings Julia and Erin.  How are feeling today, my precious wives?  I'm sure you are very busy right now.  So please take good loving care of yourselves, eat adequately, and get lots of rest.  Thank you for your love.  I love you, I love.  And I need you, I need you.  Right now, I'm watching the Sharon Tate biography again.  It's sad that there must be victims as well as predators.  But what would you do?  I know I have a limited amount of strength, plus I need the help of Allah.  I can't save everyone.  I only want to marry you.  I guess I'm not much of a prophet.  No, I'm not a prophet at all.  I want to marry my Julia and Erin, take good care of them and help protect them, inshaAllah.

Kittens!  Ya Allah, thank you for the kittens.  I'm not a wealthy man, but I have a lot of kittens!  I feel like a banker diving into a mountain of gold coins, and throwing gold into the air, except that it would be kittens.  Oh, how cute and fluffy!  But no, I don't even have a mountain of kittens, only five.  No, don't start leaving stray kittens at my doorstep.  I only want the ones Allah gave me, and to take good loving care of them.

Hello my beautiful beloved Julia and Erin.  How are you feeling today?  Are you working out and working hard for the busy work season?  Well please don't overdo it.  Please make sure you eat properly and get sufficient rest.  Beauty sleep.  We all need beauty sleep.  Please take good loving care of yourselves, and when we are married inshaAllah, I will help take good loving care of you.  Fancy a steak?  I eat more steak here than I ever did in the USA.  For dinner, it's steak and fries.  Beef and potatoes!  After dinner, I played guitar.  My guitar style is beef and potatoes.  Not!  Well, sometimes maybe.  I need a good tube amp, a Gibson Les Paul traditional 12-string goldtop, plus numerous other things too numerous to mention over and over again.  I need my Julia and Erin!  I pray you both are feeling absolutely great, and on top of the world.  Because you are my wives.  I want you to always know and be aware that there is someone who loves you.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.

Qur'an 20140924

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

13.  And when they are cast bound together into a constricted place therein, they will plead for destruction there and then!

14.  This day plead not for a single destruction: plead for a destruction oft-repeated!

15.  Say, "Is that best, or the eternal Garden promised to the righteous?  For them, that is a reward as well as a goal."

Is that best, or the eternal Garden promised to the righteous?  For them, that is a reward as well as a goal.

Qur'an 20140923

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

4.  But the unbelievers say: "This is nothing but a lie which he has forged, and others have helped him at it."  In truth it is they who have put forward an iniquity and a falsehood.

5.  And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written, and they are dictated before him morning and evening."

6.  Say, "This was sent down by God who knows the Mystery in the heavens and the earth.  Verily God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

7.  And they say: "What sort of a messenger is this, who eats food, and walks through the streets?  Why has not an angel been sent down to him to give admonition with him?"

8.  "Or why has not a treasure been bestowed on him, or a garden that he may eat out of it?"  The wicked say, "You follow none other than a man bewitched."

9.  See what kind of companions they make for you!  But they have gone astray, and never a way will they be able to find!

The Criterion 25:4-9
-------------------------------------------------------------
This was sent down by God who knows the Mystery in the heavens and the earth: verily God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

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.

Assalamu'alaikum, my most beautiful Julia and Erin.  How are the most beautiful girls in the world?  Way prettier than all those other girls.  Yes you are the most beautiful girls in the world, because you are MY girls.  MINE, MINE.  I love you, I love you.  And I need you, I need you.  I'm still clearing out all the debris that was on my roof.  It's taking some time because there are some thick Tarzan sized vines mixed in there, plus a huge coil of PVC piping, a coil of thick steel wire, and some chunks of dead tree trunk.  All on my roof.  But there seems to be a lot lush and fertile soil, so I've been sifting out the dead leaves and deadwood, and saving the fragrant dark topsoil.

My kittens don't want to purr for me.  I guess they're still afraid of me somehow.  At least they're not snarling at me anymore.  They don't seem to like it when I gaze into their eyes and kiss them, so they turn their heads away.  But I can't help it, I love kittens!  When their mother is out, they start crying, or they group together and hide.  I spoke before how disciplined they seem to be.  At first they planted their poop wherever they felt like it, just like any other baby.  Then Floofy taught them how to use the litter box, and now they're concentrating their efforts there.  Te trouble is, that they all use the cat box at the same time, so they all don't fit in there.  Some of them had to think outside the box, and pointed their butts in that direction as well.  So my mop is working 24/7 right now.  I parked my mop right outside the front door, just in case a cute little kitten tries to take a bath in mop water.
