Hi Erin. How are you feeling, Sweetheart? Please don't be blue, because I love you. I long for you and the time when are married. I need you, my precious heart. So please cheer up, pray and be optimistic, OK? Just now, I was all dressed up and showered and everything, the doors were locked, and my motorcycle was running, and I was about to visit my Mom at the hospital. She's having knee surgery. Again. Then the sky turned black, the clouds flew by faster than jets, and it began to rain. We are all subject to God's Plan. So please remember that, OK? Things happen in their own time. You ought to know, you've said that yourself.
So I started my dinner instead. It's beef and potatoes and kelisa (you know, the legume that grows on my fence) with salt and pepper, to be eaten with a side of ketchup. It's actually very good, you should try some. I made a very big helping, which includes your portion of course, but I am hungry and I do have a big appetite. Hungry for you!

Hello there, Erin my darling. How are you feeling today? You're not too cold, are you? It was very hot here this morning. I have to be careful not to get sunburned. There was a lot of kelisa (you know, the legume growing on my fence) to harvest, so I had to bake under the sun for bit with a hook on a long stick. Have you been busy, my love? You might as well make as much money as you can while you're hot, and you are hot my love. You are the most beautiful girl in the world. You are MY girl. I love you and I need you. Anyway, there's nothing much cooking on the stove today. I have lots of chili left over. My Mom is back in hospital for knee surgery. The other knee. When I was there just now, she gave me her lunch so that took care of my dinner. I had been snacking on sunflower seeds lately, so I had a craving for peanuts with crispy anchovies. Yeah. So I bought some of that while I was downtown. I had to fry up the anchovies myself when I got home, but it's a great snack. You must try it sometime. Plus I kept the leftover anchovy oil. Great for soup. So right now, I'm snacking on nuts and crunchy anchovies, and watching how electric clothes dryers are made. Aaaargh! An electric clothes dryer is 6000 watts! That's the heat of 5 hot irons!

Hi Erin! How are you, my darling? Are you keeping warm? You are my Queen, and I love you. Please take sweet loving care of yourself, because I need you. Today is Friday (when I write this letter, that is.) So I had to attend the Friday prayer. The local mosque is still remodeling, so I had to drive to the mosque 3 miles away. Right now, I'm feeling a bit sore. The weather today was finally somewhat pleasant, neither hot nor cold. So I finally got around to cutting the grass in the evening. I covered a lot of ground today: my parents' yard, my yard and your yard inshaAllah. Then my Dad did a lot of pruning in his yard, so I had to clean that up. I don't know why I managed all that work, but it sure got my blood pumping. What are those hormones that the body generates when we work out? Endorphin? Are they supposed to make you feel good? I don't know about that. Whenever I get physical like I did today, I feel aggressive. Not anger, but not pleasure. Aggressive. But I got a lot of work done, and the yard looks great.

Hello, my beautiful Erin. How are you feeling today? Not too serious, I hope. There's not much going on that's out of the usual over here. I did a little yard work at my parents' house in the morning after tending to my crops. Which was a good thing I suppose, because it rained after the Asr prayer. I was about to cut the grass because it's high time I cut the grass over at your house inshaAllah, then I look at the horizon and saw all this blackness. I debated with myself, would I have time to cut the grass before it rains, if it does rain. Then I got overwhelmed by a tsunami of laziness, and used the dark clouds as an excuse to go over to Ina's restaurant and eat rice, which I had to do anyway today. Which was a good thing I suppose, because it rained right after I got there. The rain came slamming down, so I played Dragon Hills until the storm died down.
How's it going with you? I hope they're giving you extra armed guard, because you are so precious to me. You're my beautiful girl! I love you and I need you.

Hi Erin! How are you today, my beautiful beloved? I'm doing OK over here. It's another regular day, nothing out of the ordinary going on. My Dad bought a new leaf blower, so I played with that for a bit. I'll have to say that it beats using a broom. For dinner, I made pizza. When you make pizza at home, you have to focus on the bread first, and make sure the pizza crust is perfect and ready to eat before you add sauce and toppings. Like buying one of those premade crusts at the supermarket. Assuming of course, you have an ordinary oven and not the huge steel ovens with concrete slates. My oven is quite small, and I can only make a maximum of 8" pizza. With my home made dough, I stretch it out then crisp the bottom on the flat pan I use for tortillas. I flip it over to cook the top, but not too much. Now it's time for the sauce and the toppings. I use my home made marinara sauce, which is spicy. I'm only budgeted for sliced cheese, but I can't find the right mozzarella around here anyway, so there. I don't have any basil to harvest either, so there. Today's pizza is a sausage pizza. I didn't make my usual home made halal beef sausage recipe because I had a lot of leftover "rendang" spices that my Mom made, so I mixed that into the ground beef for a lemongrass and coconut flavored sausage. Since it's only sliced cheese, I put it on last after the sausage has cooked on the pizza, then bake the cheese just enough to melt it. It's good pizza, especially considering the limitations. I made a pizza for my parents, one for you, and one for me. Oh, I ate yours. But I do love you! And I need you.

I am a servant of Allah. Erin is my girl, I love her and I will marry her inshaAllah. I need her. Ya Allah, please bear witness that I serve You, and anyone who harms my wife is an enemy of Allah. Ya Allah, please protect us and our loved ones, and make our path easy.
It is very expensive to maintain an army. Sun Tzu knew this thousands of years ago. It is more expensive to hide the army, and costlier than that to hide the leaders and generals. Why hide? I hide because I don't want to be worshiped, or regarded as some sort of spiritual or political leader. The leaders and generals of the secret army hide because they don't want to be caught. Since maintaining an army is so expensive, the way to track down the leaders and generals is to follow the money. They know this, so they arrange a trail's end with someone who will carry the blame. A patsy. A squad leader. A sergeant. But as long as the boss is still empowered, the war is not over. They killed Osama bin Laden. Is the war over? No, because he wasn't the boss. I feel pity for the soldiers who sacrifice themselves while thinking they are martyrs, because they will have to confront Allah with the fact that they never bothered to question their orders, because the murder of innocent civilians is not justice, but oppression. PHARAOH. By the way, the first army to utilize suicide bombers was from Sri Lanka. PAGANS.
What's so profitable about the Middle East anyway? Well, there's oil. Right next door to the Middle East is India, with the largest natural deposit of iron in the world. Oil and iron. However, the secret army is not making any gains from annexation. So far. Therefore the financier has to be an organization with diversified incomes. But an organization is not in itself evil: it is the individuals that drive the organization that are evil. I feel sorry for any investigator trying to follow the money, because they will most likely be on the payroll of those they investigate. But why France? They lost their military might after World War One, and are still trying to catch up. What's left is good food and good clothes. Food and fashion. The attack on France seems more personal than strategic. Here we follow the characteristic of evil, which is uncontrolled lust. Therefore, the individuals to investigate are the wealthy ones who make prostitutes out of models. Link these people to the secret army, and you would have found the bosses.

Hi there, beautiful girl! I love you so much. I'm writing to you a little later than usual, because when I went to the might market just now I got distracted by a kilo of chicken wings. Yeah, it's chicken wing night tonight. It's probably not a blessing that I eat a whole kilo of hot wings by myself, but everything's a blessing because sometimes we misinterpret. I just meant to pick up some cilantro for my marinara sauce. Chicken wings take a long time to cook, even at high heat. Got to get that skin crispy, you know. Plus being hounded by vicious beasts all that time. But I gave the kittens their snackipoos after I got done devouring my share. Oh, I forgot to make ranch dressing!
Well, of course I wish you were here to share my chicken wings with me. I need you, you're my girl! So I guess I'll make marinara sauce tomorrow morning. I just made a batch of dough last night, which should be ready the day after tomorrow. I like to make hard dough, so it ages slowly. So I will be making a batch of chili as well. That should warm you up during those cold nights of yours! It was bloody hot again this morning. You should be here, so you can wear a bikini 24/7. No you can't, I won't let you. Anyway, it looks like pizza will also be on the menu in the near future. My basil isn't mature yet, but it should taste pretty good anyway. InshaAllah. I have a lot of experience making pizza, you know. You're welcome to join me for pizza anytime. Meanwhile, please bundle up and stay warm OK?
