Fishing

 

Your father passed away?  Oh Honey, I'm so sorry.  Please give my condolences to your family.

From Allah is our origin, and to Allah is our return.

An abandoned giant

 

Hi Grace!  You're awfully quiet.  Ironically, you must be getting into all sorts of trouble in Canada.  I know I'm supposed to frown upon your political maneuvers, but I can't help smiling.  Sigh.

This video made me dizzy and nauseous.  I hope you are able to watch 30 minutes of it, it's very humbling.  Much of the manufacturing equipment was hand made and prototypes.  The aura of the building is very personal.  It might be the shaky camera, but I feel sick just thinking about it.  I swear not to be wasteful with equipment purchases.  InshaAllah.

Stuff

 

Oh Honey, I found the video where you sing backup for the Tedeschi Trucks band.  I think it was mean of them not to let you bring your guitar with you, you didn't have to plug it in.  It's a very slick band though, and Susan does a great job at lead vocals while Derek's slide playing is awesome.

Life is about collecting stuff, right folks?  I love the videos from the Kansai Cleaning Services, they're just so fascinating.  In this one, the guy liked to collect books.  He stuffed every nook in his apartment with books until he got trapped by the front door, and that's where he died.  From what I gather, he died while propped against the mail chute.

Cute not cute

 

Honey, I'll never get a hit because I don't do things the normal way like you.  Plus you're pretty and you're social, of course people would want to give you stuff.  I've had to create independent solutions when people abandon me and means are denied to me.  Every single time, Allah is the One who bails me out.

That's a beautiful Strat, Honey.  I want a Strat!  Didn't you wish for a vintage Strat for your birthday?  Yours looks like a standard stock item.  Close enough, I guess.  Check out the tiny guitar.  Would you ever play such a guitar?  It's a nice novelty.  People are making so much stuff nowadays, how much stuff can you accumulate?  Where would you put all that stuff?  You're only 19 now.  What about when you turn 60?

The big hit

 

It's unlikely that I would ever have a big hit, but it could happen to you.

Nosy Parker

 

Nosy Parker
Bye bye bye
Mind your business
Stay out of mine

I like that song.  Nicely done, beautiful chords, congratulations.  Unfortunately, you're in the wrong business for being left alone.  You may want to consider a career as a statiscian at a weather monitoring station in Antarctica.  The solution is to hide behind me.  I will distract them, inshaAllah.

What do you call someone with a big nose who likes to jump from the roof of one building to another?
