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

Floofy's tail got chopped off!  Yes, the end of Floofy's tail got cut off.  I was gassing up the motorcycle over at my parents' house, and I saw a cat tail in front of my younger brother's door.  It looked like Floofy's tail, but I thought to myself this morning when I fed her, she still had a long tail.  I looked again during the evening feeding, and yes, she still had a long tail.  Then the next day, I looked closer, and it seemed that her tail didn't seem so long.  And the tip of her tail had been cut: a clean cut, done by a blade.  So no cat could have done it.

So is it witchcraft or innuendo?  Sorcery is an act of paganism because it invokes powers other than God's, and actions speak louder than words.  The other option is innuendo, and I have been threatened with innuendo all my life, from the worst kind of humans.  Allah knows who did it, and I study the Qur'an and Allah guides me inshaAllah, so I know who did it too.  This is a case of perversion of the truth in the Signs of God.  May these people realize that Allah is Forgiving as well as strict in punishment.

Meanwhile Floofy seems to be handling it well.  She spent the afternoon inside, and I hugged her tight and comforted her.  There doesn't seem to be any infection inshaAllah.  Poor Floofy.  Bob Cat's eye is tearing up excessively, so I had to incarcerate him to make sure his eye doesn't fuse shut.  I caged Bat Cat with him to keep him company.  Poor Bobby.  Ya Allah, please protect and heal all my kitties, and punish those who hurt them.

What drama!  What a never ending show!  That's Shadowplay TV, the best and most watched TV station in the world mashaAllah.  Just in case there's a butterfly effect, I want you to be cautious too.  Don't take anything for granted, and learn to read hearts.  Please stay at home in you are not working or absolutely have to go out.  Ya Allah, please protect my sweet Erin.  Erin I love you, and I need you.

Hello Dahlink.  How are you feeling today?  How's my Rock and Roll Babe?  It's hot again today.  Ugh.  Just like yesterday.  It rained at sunset yesterday, so I suppose it will rain again today.  The humidity makes the heat miserable, and weakens the AC.  Thank God for AC!  I don't like hot weather, and I loathed the desert when I lived there.  What I miss is the Salt Lake City mountains, and its distinct 4 seasons.  But I love the kampung, I love it right after the rain stops, and I love the seafood here.  Alhamdulillah.

So I went to the market first thing in the morning today.  My front tire went flat about a mile out, so I had to turn back and take my Dad's motorcycle.  I bought a kilo of tomatoes.  There were some large snapper there today, but I really didn't feel like scaling fish, and you need a pair of pliers with the big snapper.  So the catch of the day is... tuna!  Specifically, short tailed tuna, or known locally as Tongol.  There was a small mountain of tuna today, and dirt cheap too, probably because there were so many.  RM3 a kilo.  That's cheaper than mackerel by about 60%, so I bought a big fish over 2 kilos.  It's the type of tuna that they use in the budget cans in your air conditioned supermarket.  It's not as tasty as yellowfin tuna (I've never had bluefin), in fact I don't like it for sushi at all.  Tastes watery on the unpalatable side.  But I'm guessing it will make great fish and chips, and fish broth.  And no scales!  There was so much meat left over after I processed it, so my cats had the motherlode of snacks.  Mondo snackipoo-o!

Bob Cat's eye seems a lot better today, so I didn't take him to the vet.  The swelling has gone down, and he can almost open it all the way.  And that bald patch between his shoulders... I'm certain that's a battle scar made bigger by scratching.  There's some hair growth happening.  I hope it's not a blood disease.  Feline leukemia is incurable and highly contagious.  Ya Allah, please heal and protect all my kitties.

So are you and your friends coming over for dinner?  Or are you just sailing?  For dinner was sausage and fresh tomatoes in marinara sauce, served with deep fried bread.  I would love to see you.  I love you, and I need you.

44.  Had We sent this as a Qur'an other than Arabic, they would have said, "Why are not its verses explained in detail?  What!  Not in Arabic, and an Arab?"  Say, "It is a guide and a healing to those who believe, and for those who believe not, there is deafness in their ears, and also blindness.  They are being called from a place far distant!"

Hello Sweetheart.  How are you feeling today?  Are you making a house?  How's the hair?  It's hot here.  Ugh.  Right now, it's almost 5 pm.  I usually use this time to tend the yard, but it's so hot right now, I think I'll procrastinate.  There's always something to do around here, and what's next on my list is filling up peat pots with dirt, then doing more burning to create more dirt.  But first I'll go search for more mango seeds.  Oh, my first hybrids turned out OK.  At this point it looks like out of my first 7, 4 of them survived.  But it could be that they would spring back to life, so I'll let them be for a while.

Bob Cat keeps scratching his eye, so I keep on having to clean it and ice it down.  I think it's time for his first visit to the vet.  The vet is such a long drive away, and they're not open weekends and public holidays.  Plus this bald spot between his shoulders seems to be getting bigger.  Call me paranoid, but I'm worried it could be some kind of brain or blood disease.  Maybe the vet will tell me otherwise.  Maybe I'm just paranoid.

Well it's 10:30 pm now, and I'm just watching TV.  It's a evaluation of Paiste crash cymbals.  I don't know where I'm going to fit a full drum kit in my tiny little bedroom, because I'm certainly not going to play drums without air conditioning.  Well I can I suppose, for that total heart failure effect.  I'm going to have to install AC in the next room.  Plus a divider to keep the cats away from the drum mics.  I can make quite a racket with just one small drum, imagine what a noise I can make with a whole kit.  I want to express the Fury of Allah with my drumming, inshaAllah.

I pray you are having a great time and taking it easy on your heart.  I wish we were together.  I love you, and I need you.

It had been a 3 month long dry season, when the rains finally came.  Alhamdulillah.  I was about to make a batch of dough after the sunset prayer, when my kitchen became inundated with flying ants.  There was a huge cloud of them swarming at the light.  Oh no!  I can't make dough with all that going on!  So I shut all the lights off except the outside light, and went to practice my guitar.  So at 9:30 pm, I saw that the ants were done with their business and my kitchen was clear, and it was clear outside as well.  I turned the light back on and proceeded to make dough.  When I was about half way through, all the flying ants came back!

Floofy wasn't happy with me for allowing her son to get punched in the eye.  But he chose it!  He didn't want my help!  So she turned her back on me for a whole day, and refused to eat.  I had to go and get her, and put her in front of the food for her to take a few pellets.  Later on she calmed down and ate all her food, but is that how you would treat me if I didn't intervene in your son's fights to his advantage?  You do realize that not only would I be the shortest in the family, but also out age everybody else by at least 23 years?  I'm going to have to bring a rocket launcher to every one of your son's contests.  What if he were in a basketball team?  Do you want me to blow up all his competition?

Well that aside, I ask you again to please be patient with me as I am patient with you in the nature of our work.  Rock stars and supermodels.  If you have any concerns, please voice them to me, as I always look out for you.  I love you Erin, and I need you.

Hello tender heart!  Hi Dreamer Girl!  Aw Erin, I love you so much.  There's so much insanity going on right now, I feel the way to counter this madness is madness of a different kind.  There is a method to this madness, and it will have to be applied until we are married inshaAllah, so please bear with me.  Please trust me on this.  You are my girl, Erin.  I love you, and I need you.

Do you remember that I told you Bob Cat's nemesis is a Bat Cat clone?  Well I took a closer look at him and he doesn't look much like Bat Cat.  He's a black and white cat all right, but he doesn't have a mask and socks like Batty Watty.  He's just a spotted cat.  The other day, there was much snarling going on at your house inshaAllah, so I picked up a stick and went to check it out.  Bobby Wobby and his rival were facing off, and mama cat Floofy was watching.  So I went to help him, and chased the other cat off.  Then Bobby turned to me and growled, "Don't interfere!" then followed his enemy.  What would you do if your kid were a fighter by nature?  Would you incarcerate him, or back him up?  Apparently the subject of contention is your house, so my place is to back him up.  At first I let him be, so he tracked down the other cat and went to scrapping at the far side of the house.  The other cat gave Bobby a solid punch in the eye, and now it's swollen and I had to ice it down.  So I guess the next time that cat comes in range of my stick, I'm going to have to give him a whack.  There's a probability that he belongs to the neighbor, so I can't hurt him too much.  More to come.

I've been trying to tell you this for a long time already, but you can't seem to grasp it.  How can I shout it at you?  I'm too far away!  So let's try this: ***THERE IS NO PRESSURE***YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO MAINTAIN YOUR SUCCESS***YOUR POSITION IS BEING MAINTAINED FOR YOU***  God is maintaining it for you.  If you just can't have faith in God, then you are under a lot of real and serious pressure.  So be grateful to God, and don't complain about your position!  You're not destitute!  You don't have people trying to kill you all the time!  So what about all that running around you do?  That's just you.  It's your force of habit.  So make a habit of slowing down.  Plus I love you for your work of charity, but please don't overdo it.  Don't be a hero.  It is not your place to be the hero.  You are the damsel, not the hero.

I don't like to harp on the things we have in common, but one of them is that we share an addictive personality.  Which is why I don't want you to even touch drugs and alcohol.  But you're an adult and you're too far away, so I can't stop you.  Just be sure to stop when the time comes, and it will come inshaAllah.  Don't think I don't feel as you feel.  Hell, I'm an old man, and I'm going to have to start doing drugs to rejuvenate my virility.  Desire isn't good enough anymore.  But there has to be some other way, a better way than drugs...

People are behaving insane right now, aren't they?  Totally looney!  But that insanity doesn't really apply to us.  That's because mashaAllah (by the will of God), we are in the eye of the hurricane.  So you have basketball players surrounding you and wanting to play one-on-one with you.  You're in the center, that's why.  And I don't want to have sex with or marry Megan Fox.  I just want to look like her.  Before the plastic surgery, that is.  With a great looking rack, and a big dick.  But that's impossible in this life.  I don't want to marry them, I want to marry you.  And you know I can't slut around on you, because I would get caught!  We are in the eye of the hurricane, by the will of God.  I love my parents dearly, but our parents will never understand our business of marriage.  That's because they are our parents.  Enough said.  Ya Allah, please have mercy on my parents as they cherished me in childhood.

I want to say how cute you look in bangs.  You are the most beautiful girl in the world to me.  I have chosen to marry you, Erin.  I love you, and I need you.
