Hands All Over

Hello, my most beautiful and beloved Ladies!  How are you today?  Are you enjoying being Mrs. International Rock Star?  I pray that Allah grants you much clout and respect as my wife.  Please carry and conduct yourself with chastity, dignity, and integrity.  I love you.

Recently I discovered that I was quite able to sing Seattle grunge.  I added "Rain When I Die" by Alice In Chains to my set, and it sounded quite good to me.  I think I am able to keep the edge without losing any of my femininity, inshaAllah.  So today I added "Hands All Over" by Soundgarden.  I didn't get a lot of sleep last night so I had a rough time warming up, plus Chris Cornell can hit that high note better than me, but I think it sounded OK.  Hmm let me remember my history with that song...  It was back when I was still living at the Aida House.  This was about 1 or 2 years before Nirvana made it big.  Bohemia was playing "Big Dumb Sex" during their rehearsal just for fun.  I thought it sounded cool (my mentality was very Spinal Tap during those days).  Later when I bought a used compact disc of "Louder Than Love", I found much better songs there, "Hands All Over" being my favorite.  This was when they had that Asian bass player.  They replaced him with another guy, and one would be hard pressed to find a version with the original bass player.  Not that it would make any difference.

Here are the lyrics I Googled up for the locals and the young people to understand:

"Hands All Over" by Soundgarden

Don't touch me!

Hands all over the eastern border
You know what I think we're falling
From composure
Hands all over western culture
Ruffling feathers and turning eagles into vultures
Into vultures

Got my arms around baby brother
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother, gonna kill your mother
Kill your mother
And I love her, yeah
I love her

Hands all over the coastal waters
The crew men thank her
Then lay down their oily blanket
Hands all over the inland forest
In a striking motion trees fall down like dying soldiers
Yeah like dying soldiers

Got my arms around baby brother
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother, gonna kill your mother
Kill your mother
And I love her, yeah
I love her
I love her

Hands all over the peasants daughter
She's our bride she'll never make it out alive
Hands all over words I utter
Change them into things you want to
Like balls of clay
Put your hands away

This is my US senator look, but with fluffy hair.  Do they allow sleeveless dresses in the Senate?  Let's just assume I have a jacket.

I'm not that pretty

Hi there, my beautiful Ladies!  How are you today?  How are you feeling?  I hope you are feeling absolutely great, and that everything is running smoothly for you with no hassles whatsoever.  Well yeah, I do occasionally get interruptions during voice training.  My avatar is pretty, compounded by the voice mashaAllah, but not pretty enough to stop singing and start stripping.  That's what happened today.  I got approached by this naked woman, and er... invited to some "fun".  Really if she wanted to see me naked, she might as well look at herself because mesh avatars are much more detailed and "perfect" than my system avatar.  But I was much too engrossed in my work to entertain her for a few lousy Linden dollars.

The situation here in this village is proof that a profitable attraction is possible without being enslaved by the banks or compromising Islam, mashaAllah.  We can keep our integrity and still be welcoming to all visitors inshaAllah.  Take the advantage that Allah has given you!  Anyone running a business here should focus on being open everyday (or predictably at least) instead of closing whenever they feel like it or feel scared a little, and being creative so they can offer something different than the rest of the world.  Imams and religious teachers should be ready at all times to guide those who come here seeking Allah, regardless of race, nationality or language.

Yet another average day

Hi there, my lovely Ladies!  How are you feeling today?  How's business?  I hope everything is going nice and easy for you, and that you are feeling positively great.  It's just another Tuesday over here, and I spent the day doing the routine.  I have to be at the mosque before sunset, so that's why I'm blogging earlier than usual.  I blew out the dust in my house this morning, I have no patience nor skill with brooms so I use an engine blower.  Works great!  It spits out some smoke though, but smoke is better than dust.  I'm still on a diet until further notice, so there's nothing special on the menu.  Anybody spying on me for recipe ideas can just take a break as well, I suppose.  Then I just ate out some rice for dinner.  Being on a diet surprisingly suits me.  Since I don't eat much I don't cook much either, which resonates with my laziness.  Besides, it's almost Ramadan.  Yes Ladies, Ramadan is next month.  I love Ramadan.  It's my favorite month of the year.

Hi Natty!

How are you doing, my beautiful Sweetheart?  How is the life of a fabulous supermodel on the glorious tropical beach?  You must be having an exciting time.  Are you excited?  Are you?  Are you?  If you are excited, then I am excited too.  I hope you are having a great time, Natty.  I want you to know that I love you, and I will marry you inshaAllah.  Oh I've been trying to rest a little, and not try so hard.  Everybody else seems to be busy trying, I've been watching a lot of movies and TV.  Since I'm on a diet, I haven't been working too hard in the kitchen either.  Just the quick, easy and basic stuff.  But lunch was a bit more complex than I anticipated.  I made beef liver sandwiches.  Sounds lurid, but actually very tasty.  Alhamdulillah.  I bet even kids would like it.  What are you having for dinner?  Squid?

This is my "ghetto" look.  What do you think?  Do you like it?
