Hey there, beautiful girl! How does it feel to be the most beautiful girl in the world? Yeah, you! Don't ask me, I wouldn't know. I do know that you are the most beautiful girl in the world because you are MY girl. I love you and I need you.
I feel better today. My stomach has calmed down greatly, even though this morning it was raging hell. The remedy was as simple as swallowing some of the antacid I bought years ago. Duh! But it felt so different this time. The pain was different, so I thought it was a different problem. Ya Allah, thank You for giving me my stomach back! But I'm still eating very simply. And small portions, too. Dinner was fried rice with some sliced chicken cooked in hot sauce. Want some?

HI there, my beloved. How are you doing? How are you feeling? Oh, I wish you were here with me as usual, because I love you and I need you. It's bloody hot over here, it reminds me of the desert. I'm sure it's a huge contrast to the weather over there. Well, bundle up and stay warm. I don't want to leave the AC room myself, but I had to do some yard work, then go out to buy some flour because I have to make dough tomorrow. Even right now as I wait for them to call the night prayer, it's still hot in this house, and I have the AC blasting.
That sour pineapple I ate 4 or 5 days ago really did a number on my stomach. I never thought that pineapple would cause such damage. That goes to show me, you, and everybody else that Allah will definitely test us from directions we do not perceive. I'm not suffering as much as I did 4 or 5 days ago, but I have to assume the worst and eat only mild foods. So dinner tonight is just beef and potatoes in brown gravy with fry bread. It's not that exciting, but would you like some? How about you?

Hey Beautiful! Hey Ravishing! What a great looking woman you are. Yeah, I mean you. How are you feeling? Well, I hope you are having a great time and taking good care of yourself, because I love you and I need you.
Did I tell you that I love shrimp heads? Of course I love shrimp meat, but I love shrimp heads just as equally. Especially jumbo shrimp heads, the bigger the better. When the shrimp heads are big, I can stuff them with cream cheese! Then cook them up in a spicy sauce with green onions. But it's been a while I had shrimp heads that big. Today's shrimp heads were OK sized. Big enough to roll in corn starch and fry to a crisp, and dip them in "sambal tumis", which is basically hot chilli puree and blended onions fried up into a sauce. Most people don't share my passion for shrimp heads, but perhaps someday you would like to try one? With a little caviar on top?

Hi there, beautiful girl! Hello Dahlink! How's it going this Sunday? It's a regular old Sunday for me. I had to clean my parents' bedroom this morning like I do every Sunday. Lunch wasn't out of the ordinary, just leftover chili and bread. After voice training, I cut the grass by the road on the street to the elementary school. I also took down some of the brush. Dinner wasn't special either. Just beef and potatoes in brown gravy. I had to keep it simple today because I had some sour pineapple yesterday which cut up my stomach somewhat. After this, I have to do my taxes. Yeah, even though I didn't make any money, Shadowplay is still a registered business and I have to report my earnings. Just another day in the life. I hope you are taking good care of yourself and getting plenty of rest, because I know you are busy. I love you and I need you.

You are probably tired of people getting jealous of you. Well, jealousy is human nature. You may think, "But I'm nice, why must they get jealous?" Yes you are nice, but jealousy is a deep problem. It's both a religious and philosophical paradox. In the Qur'an (and the Bible, too) is a story of two brothers, where one brother became jealous of the other brother and murdered him. Now the brother who was killed in this tale allowed himself to be killed, but I'm not as elevated as that. I want to fight back, especially if I have loved ones to protect. I'm old enough and have been in this business long enough to know who is feeling or practising envy towards me. But even with knowledge, one can only react with the moment. There is no justice in prevention when it comes to envy. You can't attack someone for the way they feel. They would say, "That's just the way I feel, and I can't help it." Sheesh, whatever. There's nothing OK about jealousy. But the best that one can do is to prepare and react to acts of envy.
There is a prayer, though. Recite "Al Falaq", loudly if possible. Oh Sweetheart. I wish we were together. I love you and I need you.
