A Yoga Mat, Late Coffee, and a Panama Hat

January 13, 2022 Lehan Edirisinghe

A back-focused yoga mat sat out at home, alongside late-night coffee made with a water filter. A Panama-style hat and a borrowed Shelby Bros reference surfaced, with a stray joke about a yoga position

5:15 a.m.

For 15 years plus, living under my mother Shanika, it was very horrible.

I can say, I will forgive, I can say, I will not forgive, but I think you know, I am just going to succeed for myself.

In ways, I can't even have imagined, despite my unbelievable greed, imagination and creativity.

It's not enough for me to succeed.

Even if Pompeo is right that China is coming in to exploit Sri Lanka like a predator, at least, they are doing something to progress the country forward.. as opposed to not taking any kind of action..

The reason The Opposition loses is because they offer to do absolutely nothing, they have no plans to build anything or to earn anything.

I like Obama's inaugural address. He's like a modern JFK, though, it's very stupid that Senate never ratifies any bills passed by House of Representatives, and so nothing is ever done.

I saw that Biden has tried to change the rules, so Senate passes stuff. It is so annoying. Nothing happens.

Thilanga will be dealing with locals in Sri Lanka on my behalf, so I don't have any need to keep people around.

Saw this famous scene. Omg. The burn. I am just like Zuckerberg. I don't believe I'm an a***ole. I think I pretend to be one for entertainment because it is entertaining. I never wish to hurt anyone.

I think I wrestle with my internal demons. I think I have skeletons in my closet. I have many. I have Geronimo's skull in my closet. But I am growing.

Better yet, I have grown along with 1000s of people who enjoy what I write. I give a voice, to many, many people who believe in a new Sri Lanka, an advanced Sri Lanka, which is a super Singapore, an oasis Israeli Jerusalem dream that England was built upon, I believe in my honesty and my truth..

Just as the vaccines, they had their effectiveness, the 90%, 95%, against this and that. My value, the measure, the weighing scale, it is in my truth.

1,000s of readership for Lehan's Captain's Log.

Including Lasantha Wickrematunge's brother Lal.

And also the daughter, I guess, I don't know, I don't know!

Saw a girl called Ahimsa, I think it was her, talking about the dad or the country or something, but Jesus Christ!

HAHAHAHAHA

10:00 a.m.

(c)

What can I say?

I learned how to write from the best too.

Dan Brown.

R L Stine.

I read Harry Potter.

I am learning to write from so many great writers..

The traffic is so high.

1000s of readers.

1000s.

Everyone in Sri Lanka has popped up on my PYMK list.

Most of big tech too.

10:15 a.m.

I also write on my Captain's Log when I do other stuff!

I think at one point, when I am one day, the big guy, the president or prime minister or foreign minister or health, education, defense, ports minister, highway minister

(Joke: oh look Sumal Perera uncle all of a sudden remembered me, he is texting me "how come I haven't called him in a while" and also that he "misses my dad, Palith", and also, "G-d bless you")

I think I'll be meeting officials, being nice to them and then writing what I really think of them over here.

Just like Lee Kuan Yew in his memoirs and with these Wikileaks

Heck, they can invest my side too.

I don't know nothing about technology compared to them..

But I think I will spend away making sure we have the decision makers on board and the decision making power and that we win the customers over

They can invest in growing our firm as it represents our friendship.

A bit similar to me.

I mean, ████ took pictures of my dad's birds to try to politicize it, try to disrespect me and try to harm me for giving her a job as deputy chairman.

She claimed it was to show her children...

Others take pictures too.

I think my mum's friend whose son is a pilot, who is also a Muslim lady also took pictures.

Ahmed's mother..

I don't care. I don't think it's that serious..

We have very big aviary cages, they are very big flight cages.

The birds are happy and they are better off than anywhere else, better off than in the zoo or in the wild.

I hope we can breed them successfully and populate Sri Lanka

The image shows a yoga mat laid out on a wooden floor, designed with illustrations of various yoga positions. Each position is numbered and labeled with its name and recommended duration, illustrating exercises for flexibility and strength. The mat is titled "back healthy yoga mat," suggesting a focus on exercises to improve back health. The mat's surface is dark with light-colored illustrations and text for contrast, making the instructions easy to read.
On the left side of the image, there is a transparent plastic bag, possibly the packaging for the mat. To the right, the edge of a wooden table is visible, cluttered with video game controllers, a headset, and stacked boxes. This setting suggests a casual living space, perhaps a living room. The lighting is warm, indicating a cozy environment conducive to home workouts.
- Title: "back healthy yoga mat"

Yoga mat

The image shows a wooden table with several items on its surface. In the center, there is a white cup filled with a dark liquid, likely coffee, with a silver spoon resting inside. The cup's handle is visible on the left side. Adjacent to the cup, two plastic-wrapped stacks of chocolate sandwich cookies are placed, suggesting a pairing with the coffee for a snack. To the right, there is an electronic device with a visible three-pronged plug and a dial, possibly a kitchen appliance or a computer accessory. The lighting is natural and soft, creating a cozy atmosphere. The setting appears to be indoors, possibly a kitchen or dining area. The arrangement hints at a casual moment of relaxation or a quick break.

The image displays a collection of items hanging together, likely in a storage or closet area. Central to the image is a white straw hat adorned with a band featuring a star pattern, reminiscent of the American flag. Draped over the hat is a red and white striped scarf, adding a patriotic touch. The items are supported by wire hangers, which are visible beneath a clear plastic cover. The background reveals a beige wall with visible wiring, a plug socket, and a small CCTV camera, indicating an indoor setting. The lighting is soft, suggesting an overhead light source. The scene captures a blend of clothing items with a subtle Americana theme, organized in a functional, though visually striking, manner.

My beautiful hat. Panama. I sent Jagath a Shelby Bros Ltd hat minus razor blades, I stole his hat. I just seemed to misplace a newspaper cushion for the insides where he was named somewhere...

I don't care about the naked cowboys, I like reverse ███████ which I'm sure I saw as a position on my yoga mat somewhere....
