Hi there, Princess!  Hey there, Darling!  How are you feeling today?  Are you having lots of fun?  I hope you are trying to slow down and giving your heart a break, after all the recent activity.  I think of you all the time, because you are MY girl.  I love you and I need you.

I spent my birthday doing the usual things.  I cleaned my Mom's bedroom in the morning, then she cooked lunch for me.  Thanks Mom!  My Dad asked me if I'm doing anything special for my birthday, I said I'll be doing the things I usually enjoy doing.  Which is enjoying my home, hanging out in my favorite space, watching TV, making music, and enjoying good food.  Alhamdulillah.  I want my girl.  I ate that roast chicken for dinner that my parents gave me.  No I didn't eat the whole chicken, I still have the drumsticks and thighs left.  The kittens had a feast along with me, except ----.  She doesn't seem to like anything other than cat food or raw food.  I have lots of snacks for my TV watching tonight.  I've been eating the expensive English chocolate lately.  The taste is superior of course, but the texture is not snappy.  It has some snap to it, but like cooking chocolate.  I guess that chocolate is snappy when it's thin.  This gives me hope that I can get a good flavor out of cooking chocolate, I just need to try harder.  Oh, so much to do.  Plus I need to laze around.  I'm going to set up for practicing bass now.

Hello there, my love!  My love!  I love you and I need you.  You are the light in my life, and I love you with all my heart.  I never told you when my birthday is.  Well, today I am 50 years old.  Yeah yeah, I know.  I have the same birthday as Bugsy Siegel.  We're exactly 60 years apart.  I didn't know that until recently though.  I've already outlived him, and I don't own a gun.  When I was younger, I always wondered why many astrologers were upset with me.  I happen to know, or rather many astrologers knew me.  I don't know if you remember who Jeane Dixon was, but one day before she died, in her last horoscope for Pisces, she gave me such an intense verbal thrashing, telling me to lighten up or something like that.  I know it was a general horoscope, but it sure seemed very personal.  If you believe in that astrology garbage.  Hey, I think I'm rather easy-going.  Anyway, I quit reading horoscopes 9 years ago.

I still qualify for government welfare so I just received a payment, and bought myself a wireless keyboard and mouse set, and a new 2.1 speaker system.  So right now, I'm writing this letter on my back!  Yeah it's lazy, but it's not as easy as it sounds.  I also programmed the mouse as a remote control to advance to the next video on Shadowplay TV.  Finally!  I needed new monitors to mix music with.  This new system I got is only 26 watts but it's USB powered, so that's not bad.  Especially for 5V USB.  And they sound great.

I've been having a craving for eggplant lately, so for dinner I had steak with an eggplant and tofu stir fry.  It was great!  I must do that again.  Plus my parents gave me a roast chicken for my birthday.  Thanks Mom and Dad!  You wanna join me for my birthday dinner, Sweetie?

Hello Beautiful!  Hi Gorgeous!  How's my precious girl today?  I pray you are feeling great and having lots of fun.  Please remember to look after yourself properly, and maintain your prayers.  Things may be exciting and out of control right now, but that's all the more reason not to do drugs and alcohol, and increase the pressure on your heart.  Your precious heart.  God is in control, so pray if you need assurance.  Sure it's not the same as being high, but you don't really know what "high" is.  Pray if you need assurance.  And always know that I love you and I need you.

I have crawled into my cave, and I aim to stay in here for a while.  But I had to go out for snacks.  I can't be a hermit without snacks!  I had a craving for potato chips, but the closest supermarket didn't have any potato chips!  Do you believe that?  So I had to go all the way downtown to get my snacks.  I found this big bag of sour cream and onion chips, with Tamil writing on it.  Made in India, imported by Thailand!  I also got myself a big bar of chocolate, English chocolate.  Fruit and nut.  And some blackcurrant chews.  Now if you will please excuse me, I'm going to lie back and watch TV and eat junk food.

Halo Angel!  How are you?  Would you like to be with me always?  I want to be with you always.  No we shouldn't use the toilet together, but for all practical purposes, I want us to never be seen without each other.  You are me, my darling.  I love you always.  And I need you.

My filling fell out last night, so I had to visit the dentist first thing this morning.  Good thing I already finished my dinner before it fell out, so I was able to go to the dentist the next morning with an empty mouth.  Did you see that episode of Sailor Moon where Usagi went to the demon dentist which was a combination clinic and ice cream parlor?  It was very windy today.  The wind was screaming and howling all through my voice training.  Do you fear the winds of change?  We shall be married soon, inshaAllah. 

Hmmm.  The news I've been getting is being re-edited as the day progresses.  Let's just say that what was news at 6 am is not the same news at 10 pm.  Damned Internet.  This also applies to what's going on with you, so if you have something to say to me, the best way to say it is to say it yourself on video.  Life in the Public Eye can be really annoying.  Innuendo isn't going to work anymore, Erin: innuendo is being used as a tool by our enemies.  Monkeys!  You're going to have to be as blunt as possible about our relationship.  I think it's time for me to crawl into a virtual and literal cave, and ignore their stupid lives.  Next week my Dad is going into surgery anyway, so I will be busy with that.  Yes, I know it's your birthday next week.  InshaAllah, I will make my presentation at the right time.  I would rather give you a ring, but please be patient with me and pray.  Bear in mind that the ring comes with a house.  When the ring does come inshaAllah, we will begin communicating by telephone.

Hey there!  Hi there!  How's it going?  Talk of the town?  I hope you are feeling healthy and having a great time.  I guess you are doing more of the same thing until basketball season comes up.  I wish I could be with you, but the time will come inshaAllah.  My Dearest, have fun with your work, and stuff that bank account of yours OK?  I certainly have much to do here, but I think of you all the time, and of how beautiful you are.  I love you and I need you.

What did I do today?  It seems like I wasted the morning.  Oh yeah, I woke up late so by the time I got all the morning chores done, it was already time for lunch.  After voice training, I spent time with my baby mangoes.  The rainy season hasn't come yet, so there aren't any new fruit.  Then I went downtown to get some fried noodles for dinner.  There was some sort of Siamese bazaar going on, and the area was packed.  I wish I could have stopped by, but I had run out of cash.  Hey, can't endorse anything without the right budget, right?  So I went home.

Hey Scrapper!  Hi Smiley!  How is the most beautiful girl in the world?  My girl is the most beautiful girl in the world.  How's business today?  Please don't overwork, get plenty of rest, eat properly, and maintain your prayers.  It's business as usual for me today.  I didn't have to commute anywhere though, which makes it a great day for me.  I hate commute.  I thought of you all day.  I love you and I need you.

I want to remind all of you that it's the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Verdun.  Yesterday my barber confused France for America.  I guess he was thinking about Verdun.  I don't want to paste a video here because it's unromantic, because a war of attrition is absolutely unromantic, Verdun being the most ghastly of them all.  Unlike World War Two, which was a pagan uprising and the revenge of one man, World War One had a very political beginning.  It was a war of cousin against cousin, Christian against Christian.  I do think that you should have knowledge of this matter since you are Mrs. Global, and I found a link for you to study.  Videos can be too graphic: in this case, something to read would be more appropriate for someone as beautiful as you.

Hello there, Sweetheart.  How's it going, Pumpkin?  I'm in a better mood today.  The world grinds to a halt for me when I get a cold.  But I'm better today, and was able to work just fine.  How about you?  Are you taking good care of yourself?  I want you to keep healthy and safe.  You are MY girl, and you mean the world to me.  I love you and I need you.

I went for a haircut this morning.  I've been going to the same barber for over 7 years already.  I just want my hair short to help me cope with this hot weather, he just gives me the same cut every time.  I looked into the mirror and saw all my grey hair.  It's mostly on the right side.  I still have thick hair, but it looks like it will be all white soon.  After that, I went back to that new supermarket that recently opened.  This time, I bought a kilo of generic honey, raspberry Jell-o (it's actually generic raspberry flavored gelatin which is halal), and avocado, and a bag of Salt and Vinegar Lay's potato chips.  The chips were made in USA.

Dinner was chicken cooked in mole with avocados.  I've been eating nothing but pizza lately, so it's a nice change.  I'd offer you some, but I ate it all.
