Steve's Story
Life
Oi ve, where to begin? Most of you know now that I embraced the power of Allah and changed my name to Mustafah Mustafah. All praisse to the prophet. He gave me the power to finally come out of the closet with my lifestyle choices, despite the shame, humiliation, suicidal tendencies it caused my long suffering family.
Not long ago I got married to my long time partner, Abdul Habib, and us guys have never been happier. Sure, I wish he had a job and wasn't so hairy ( I mean, do I NEED to sleep with a gorilla?), and it would be nice if he spoke some English, but no relationship is perfect.
After our welfare ran out, we moved in with his parents, who, all praise to Allah, let us share their bedroom with them. If only we didn't have to actually share their bed, as well.
I've finally completed my first 30 ...Expand for more
units at the community college, and should get my pedicurist's license within two years or so. Habib continues to look for work, and in the meantime spends a lot of time contemplating life's many mysteries and injustices. It's great having a guru/mentor who is also your main man. I've learned SO much from him! For example, did you know that seltzer water can remove a ravioli stain from rayon? Oh, that Habib!
So, as I try to go forward with my life, and find some purpose in my otherwise meaningless existence, I cherish the small things, such as 7-11 and Taco Bell, which so graciously gave me employment after I left the half-way house. And I cherish water, which we can drink, shower with, use to flush our toilets, and to wash our dishes. (But not all with the SAME water, mind you! Ha ha ha ha! I still got it, right?)
