1. Script, Record, Edit -- Publish Film.
I'm working on this presentation. But I don't believe in presentations. I believe in film. It's better, more fun to watch.
Today, and yesterday, anyone could've been an author or a writer or journalist or a movie maker or a ████████. Or a YouTuber. It's willpower.
It's got to be exciting. Entertainment. Only entertainment lasts. People, thought, Citizen Kane, Dr Strangelove, they are entertaining, they stood the test of time. It's fun.
I made an okay video. But it was more like a presentation lecture. This lasts for 1 hour. I want to make it a lot more fun. It's supposed to be art. Clever, beautiful art. Roses to stop and look at in your journey called life.
Those Sapare Aude lectures, they should also be redone, to be more cinematographic. Freemasonry, despite whatever anyone else says, was supposed to be fun entertainment.
It is possible, William Shakespeare, or his like, wrote some rituals. The words, wording, while wholly mysterious, stood the test of time, they are clever, beautiful. Also, blood curdling, and that's what makes it cool.
I made very small improvements last night. Changed a few words, big impact. Economic controls, became economic signals, small, subtle, Maggie would approve of. Jacques Huyghebaert is crazy like me, we both believe in words, he has written letters for me, we worry about what words to use, about impact, meaning.
Lobbying, intervention, it became interceding. Subtle words. I studied the United States Department of Justice Foreign Corrupt Practices Act:
Very helpful, like Tony Soprano visiting Dr Melfi to learn how to be a better criminal, to hide better. Like, Ted Bundy, was it?, working in Suicide Prevention, just like FBI lead kidnap negotiator Chris Voss did, to learn how to deal with people better.
A Rolls Royce, a beautiful work of art, a good bottle of whiskey or wine, foie gras, truffles, they take time. Time to perfect. I am satisfied, I have painted the under painting. I must redo it.
It's me alone. No actors, no writers, no directors, no cameramen, no lighting or production crew, no one to hold a microphone, no one to help with editing. Just me.
I kind of, have this thing. I like that. Jacques likes that too. I offered to help with his presentation for Sapare Aude. He refuses. He doesn't need me to help him get up from his chair, he is 76, not 96. It's good.
He should just prepare a final version video. Then play it for the audience. It's called being smart. Though, awful. Adoption of technology. Lecturers, should also do it. It's crazy to repeat, repeat, repeat, day in, day out, save for being paid to be a lecturer.
I hope we make those presentations more entertaining. Jonathan Hirshon has the right idea adding clips. But it's small. He doesn't push it. He reserves his more twisted, better and sexual humour for his less judgemental, more accepting friends.
Then, more people will enjoy watching those Sapare Aude lectures. It should be the case. Content is good, people are very cool, but packaging, delivery of product and presentation/ marketing is what brings viewers/ customers in.
He's so energetic. Works a lot. Does many things. I think because of our business, we can grab the Victoria Masonic Hall in Sri Lanka, then rebuild it. We can rebuild the Temple again. Make it bigger, better, a monument.
I was thinking of destroying the carpark, extending the building. But then, that place is useful. We can always build up. Extra space. But there's a very few masons now. Just like 200 or I think 650. It's very small. I have to very aggressively work on this.
This script, it is looking good. Recording devices, presentation slides are the priming stage. Charcoal outline drawing is the content structure or plan. I finished the thin under painting, the video final draft of this film.
Now, it's time for the fat over lean, actual painting coating. The editing, it is the layering, glazing or the coating in the painting process. The final step, is to varnish it, that's when I upload it, then add the subtitles meticulously.

I have also helped Thilanga Sumathipala uncle today. I told him to fix his LinkedIn Premium page. His team has not correctly written his time in Parliament. I am so nice to everyone.
Jacques has written: "Thankfully (Hon.) Thilanga Sumathipala is willing to help us by interceding by establishing high level contacts". Hehehe. Words, that stood the test of time, like that 2 paragraph Balfour declaration -- though Jacques isn't a Zionist like myself.
We'll need to use all the help we can get, to put ourselves in the most strategically advanced position:
In order to establish this thine business in strength and stability, and to make sure it lasts forever.
I Kings 7:21:
"In Strength shall this House be Established."

2. Ritalin Is Cocaine Day.
Today, I won't be writing as much. I have to focus on this video and script.
