In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello, my beautiful Erin. You are MY girl! Mine, mine, MINE! So please don't be blue, because the one I want to marry is you.
This time, it's ----'s turn to go into heat. She's not a howler like ----. Rather, she prefers to hang onto my foot wherever I go, so I would have a cat weight when I try to walk. Which is not advisable, because my feet are injured, so my balance isn't perfect, and I might trip and accidentally squash her. However, it is convenient to pet her with my foot, which is acceptable to her as well. A cat in heat really appreciates being petted, but I'm afraid I can't sit there all day and pet her. I wanna pet you!
I had a hankering for eggplant today, since the Iron Chef eggplant battle came up on TV while I was voice training. So I bought a kilo of green eggplant at the night market. I deep fried half of them, then arranged them neatly in a round baking pan. Then I smothered them with my marinara sauce, and put cheese on top. Then I baked it. So for dinner is baked eggplant with marinara sauce and cheese, with sirloin steak on the side. Oh, it's so yummy! Alhamdulillah! Would you like to join me for dinner, Sweetheart? Munchkin? Pudding Pie? Oh, I have to eat alone? Oh well, c'est la vie. But I love you. And I need you.

Qur'an 20150414
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
23. That is whereof Allah gives glad tidings to God's servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Say, "No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin." And if anyone earns any good, We shall give him an increase in good in respect thereof, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready To Appreciate.

Letter to Erin 20150413
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
You're such a sweetheart, Erin. I believe that you have a pure heart, and that's what I love most about you. I don't want you to change that. But you just can't be friends with everybody. I'm afraid it's impossible for someone in your position. It's even impossible for a complete nobody to be friends with everybody. But you want a career, and since you are at the top mashaAllah, you're going to have very few friends. Friends that matter, that is. Does that make you sad? No, I'm sure you are mature enough to know that.
There are 3 types of people you must not be friends with, in fact Allah forbids that you befriend them. They are the people who fight you for your Islam, the people who try to force you out of your home, and the people who help the people who try to force you out of your home.
I'm certain now that that black and white spotted cat who punched Bob Cat in the eye is actually after Floofy. Bobby was probably trying to protect his mother all this while. Today I saw that other cat face Floofy off while Bobby was absent. I chased him off, but I just can't seem to get a good hit with my stick: there are too many trees in the way. But if he's persistent, than I can be patient. One day inshaAllah, my aim will be true.
I wish I were with you but since I can't be, I want you to take sweet loving care of yourself in my absence. Erin, you are so very precious to me. I love you, and I need you.

15. Now then for that, call and stand steadfast as you are commanded. Nor follow their vain desires but say, "I believe in the Book which Allah has sent down, and I am commanded to judge justly between you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. For us our deeds, and for you your deeds. There is no contention between us and you. Allah will bring us together, and to God is the final goal."

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hey there, Erin my darling. How are you feeling today? How's your home? It is a nice place to kick back and relax? Is it a nice place to work pleasurably? People aren't bugging you too much at home? Ya Allah, please protect my beloved Erin.
Oh I'm trying to keep things mundane as usual. Nothing's perfect of course, and I don't get to sleep all day, but I don't feel good if I sleep too much any way. Everything has to be just right. Damned worldly perfection! I wanted to do a lot of pruning after the Asr prayer, but it rained heavily. So I gave up on yard work, and instead I made chicken noodle soup for dinner. Lunch wasn't all that extraordinary either. I had one last dough ball and some sausage to finish off, so I made a calzone. After I finish this letter, I'll play the drum for a bit, then veg out and watch TV.
I pray you are trying to slow down as well, and take care of your precious heart. Please know that I love you very much, and I need you.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
I suppose there has been too much cat activity around here lately. So this morning about 4 am, a wild dog came to my house and started barking at my cats. Then I went outside to chase it away, and it ran off to the other houses to do its barking fit. Yeah, there are wild dogs around here. They live in the jungle and the ditches, and they usually don't show themselves to humans because someone would call the Department of Animal Control to send someone to shoot them. But it's 4 am, so no one would, and the dog had its day in the spotlight. Kitty Cat Kitty Cat, Meow! Meow! Meow! Doggy Woggy Doggy Woggy, Bow Wow Wow!
But Bobby got me all upset this evening. He's been scratching his eye again, and it made me livid. Bobby, it's Friday! The vet is closed on weekends! And that eye won't heal if you scratch it! I think he's been toying with me all week, so I can feel helpless on the weekend. I got so mad with him, it gave me heartburn. But I agree with the dog, that there has been too much cat drama lately. So I cut down the cat tails that were growing by my porch. Oh don't worry, they'll grow back.
Well I hope you're doing great, my beloved Erin. I'm just trying to keep things mundane around here. Please take good care of yourself Sweetheart. I love you, and I need you.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello Erin, my darling. How are you feeling today? Are you feeling feminine today? Well, I'm not. It's hard to feel feminine when I'm not pretty. I feel like a chimpanzee. I feel like screaming, and thumping the trunks of trees.
Yeah it's been crazy lately, and people have been behaving crazy, but that's been par of the course for me for a long time already, and me alone but alhamdulillah. It's both a curse and a blessing of the music, for which I am grateful to Allah. I don't consider myself a good or pure man: if it seems that way, then Allah set it up that way. Allah has been pretty much my only friend, and for that I am grateful. But I don't need it to be crazy just for the sake of being crazy like most people. So I hope you don't mind if I try to keep life mundane to the point of lazy.
Allah did give me some cats, alhamdulillah. Bob Cat is finally winning all of his fights, and I don't have to do his fighting for him. Even the cats know that, and they start their fights at my inconvenience, like when I'm trying to sleep, or taking a dump etc. But like I said, Bobby has been winning his fights lately. I mean what's the point of being macho if you don't win your fights? I have to fight on a spiritual level, so I just try to do what Allah tells me to do by inspiration through the Qur'an. InshaAllah.
You don't have that kind of problem. Women don't have that kind of problem. Men have to be soldiers, and stuff like that. But I want you to keep yourself safe, because you are very precious to me. I love you, and I need you.
