Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out of my life why don't cha babe
'cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin'on

Set me free why don't cha babe
Get out of my life why don't cha babe
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin'on

Why do you keep a comin' around
Playing with my heart
Why don't cha get out of my life
And let me make a brand new start
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me yeah

You say although we broke up
You still just wanna be friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again

Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'Cos you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin'on

You say you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
And now that you've got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself (you do in my case but want others too??)
So let me find somebody else

Why don't cha be a man about it and set me free
Now you don't care a thing about me
You're just using me - Hey, abusing me
Get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'Cos you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin'on
You don't really need me
You just keep me - hangin'on

30 Days and counting.....Oh Allah, have mercy on me, soften his heart, if only for the purpose of setting me free!

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds.
The Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Possessor of the Day of Judgment.
You alone we serve, and You alone we seek for help.
Guide us to the straight path.
The path of those whom You have blessed, not those who have incurred the wrath, nor the misguided. (Quran 1:1-7)

Till death do us part...! B**ch!!






I've always loved the traditional catholic wedding vow "To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part." It just resonates, commitment, love, compassion, faith...everything that a man and a woman coming together as one would value within the bonds of matrimony. That's probably why I love watching wedding shows on tv so much; from the planning stage, to all the drama that goes on and finally to the part where they finally kiss and pronounce the I do's. Perhaps it's because what I see in them is the ideal of what a typical marriage should be. To me, this is what makes a marriage so sacred, a binding contract between two agreeing parties, as ordained by God.

Now going back to the vows, this is what a sunni muslim man probably might be thinking if such vows did exist in a muslim marriage ceremony.

"To have and to hold, ....for better, for worse in which case I can just get another wife if things don't work out between us, no need to divorce; for richer, for poorer, although if I do become rich then I'm more than likely to get another wife, coz I can; in sickness or in health, surely if you are sick and can't provide your wifely duties or you cannot provide me with a child, then it's pretty obvious that I'm going to get another wife, DUHHH! Heck, even if you're healthy I still might want another wife just for the sake of it, coz it's my right; to love and to cherish, but not the disney fairytale kind of love that you've been brainwashed with but the limited love I can provide you with between my 3 other wives......."till death do us part," coz I have the upperhand and thus you will stay married to me, whether you like it or not.

What is a marriage in Islam really worth if none of those things that make a marriage sacred, are being upheld? I guess it's all about having halal sex. What's so sacred about that then?? I don't get it. Surely a marriage is more than just halal sex. After all, I would be punished twice as much as an unmarried woman or a married MaMalakatAymanukum would if I had extramarital affairs (I think that's right?). At least a MaMalakatAymanukum would be obtaining her freedom by getting married to her caretaker. Anyway...just rambling here on what I've been thinking about lately.

The Fluffy Wumpkins kidnapped him!


So he leaves without letting me know. I call him on my cell phone and asked him why on earth would he do that. He says he did, I just didn't hear him say his salams. I talk a little about how he's been ignoring me lately then, nothing, a glance at my phone shows "call ended". To a simple mind like mine that means someone ended the call. I'm under the belief that a dropped call doesn't display said message, just goes to your main screen. I called him back, it rang once and then went straight to voice mail. I call him again, it rings three times before going to voice mail. I didn't leave a message( I rarely do. the caller ID will tell him I called twice).

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt though, these are some interesting reasons for dropped calls I read online:
~ A tower went out, he moved out of range, or in to a lead-lined room.

~ Maybe he dropped his phone by accident and it broke.

~ Maybe he got hit by a gyrocopter.

~ Perhaps his batteries are flat and he can't find his recharger.

~ Maybe he's been kidnapped by the Fluffy Wumpkins and infected with myxomalaryngitus. LOL!!! I liked that one!

~ ...Or maybe he was paying attention to his cell phone while driving and drove off the road, flipping his car and he is now stuck in a creek, with water rushing by his head while his cell phone sits only three and a half feet away, but still out of reach.


I don't know if I have a husband or a live-in sometimes coz we hardly talk anymore. He might as well be kidnapped by a fluffy wumpkin coz it wouldn't make a difference in my life anyway. This is what goes on in our household when he spends the night here:

Comes home, watches basketball. Says "thank you" to me while I serve him his food. Goes to his office after the game is over.

Goes to bed much later than me, we rarely go to bed at the same time.

Wakes up in the morning to pray Fajr together. Doesn't even say good morning or it's time for Fajr, just a nudge.

After Fajr we talk a little, two minutes at the most before he proceeds to get up and goes to his office, "I've got work to do and I need to leave early"....ooh, I almost forgot how his voice sounds.

I'll knock oh his door to serve him his food, again "thank you" and shuts the door in my face.

When he does decide to say good bye; He'll say "Assalmu'alaikum" before he leaves.

So let's sum that up shall we:

"Thank you"
A two minute conversation, before the:
"I've got work to do and I need to leave early"
"thank you"
"Assalmu'alaikum"

Sigh....at least he was polite!:)
