1 - 5 minutes:

I read though my people you may know list.

I discuss how I write my script.

I watch a movie that wins an award, I read the source material and figure out what was kept in the movie--i.e. what was removed.

5 - 6 minutes:

"this is a nice looking girl"

6 minute mark

"ah this guy is a project manager at Virtusa"

6 minute mark continues psychotic ramblings:

Talks about writing script and about movie: Jaws

6 - 10 minutes:

"ah Aelian, JAT Holdings MD--good he has mutual contacts with me or else"

"Ah Shamini, cousin Seshi's friend, met my mum"

"Ah this one owns Butter Boutique"

"ah this guy, Madu is in Virtusa"

"You can't teach an elephant to fly, but Madu is not an elephant, we can teach him to fly as he is a peacock and we are like the eagles"

"Rohan Buultjens, I think I saw him, very jovial"

"He's at HNB"

"Ranil Wickremesinghe has helped me, to start up our firm"

"Dinesh Weerakody, MBA University of Leicester, (HNB Chairman) wrote Ranil's biography"

"I am joking about taking over DBU -- but I dunno"

"I didn't hear back from Pradeep, thank G-d, Thilanga and others can talk to these people (prospect customers)"

"Lehan's job is to deal with Zuckerberg, Thilanga can talk to the locals, it's the only way"

11 - 15 minutes:

Repeats "Lehan talks to boss of big tech, just let Thilanga talk to the local companies"

Repeats

Repeats

"Lehan doesn't give a F about your opinions or politics or religion -- he doesn't give a F about you."

15 - 20 minutes:

"Lehan's NOT a Christian"!

"He might be a Christian--but it doesn't matter to you".

"Raging on Harsha Wannigatunga, saying Marillyn Hewson won't sign a deal with you for Lockheed Martin".

"I can intro you to Robert Bigman, the CIA CISO for 15 years, to help you avoid getting hacked"

"but that's politics, sadly, SL is not advanced, and they will cause problems for me, why should I help you?"

"locals might hate the CIA, the way people understand the IT domain is not equal, there is a big gap on understanding the field of IT, between the US and Sri Lanka".

"there's too many chances of misunderstanding, I try to help this guy at HNB Ruwan, and he might imagine I am threatening your bank can get hacked, so, it is a bad idea for us to try to help you without this Thilanga talking on our behalf as it's too risky for everyone".

Complains about the culture of Sri Lanka and its ease of doing business rating

21 - 25 minutes:

Complains on Harsha and the CIO Forum

Update:

I read this, on Friday, December 31st at 5 p.m.

I think that the content from 15 to 30 minutes is not good. It is just anger. I think content like this is always entertaining. I don't agree with it. I think later it was changed.

I could hide/ edit it off, but I will keep it here for transparency and record keeping purposes, to show it is not correct, and to avoid it.

Yesterday, there were fireworks.

I am thankful Mahinda Rajapaksa won the war for us. Along with Kamal, Shavendra and Sarath Fonseka.

I went outside and stayed the night with our pet birds. They were hiding inside their wooden homes. But they were happy I was there.

I turned off the light and went inside, they were okay.

I uploaded a few videos. I was thinking of deleting or editing them, but felt it was better to keep them imperfect.

It is 'naturally occurring thoughts' and it is better to process later for political correctness. It is a diary.

There's a number of videos uploaded. It's good to log my thoughts on there. I see some have mistakes. I am growing from those.

I am watching Arcane S01 E07 now. I am not enjoying it as much as I'd expect. I enjoyed playing League of Legends with Fergus Chalmers and Mukesh Patel in John Foster Halls.

I played with my flatmates in Nixon Court. Jeffy Lau and the others although I wasn't that good.

I liked playing Call of Duty Zombies in Spaceland with Jonathan Page more, although, I wasn't the best at it.

I don't really play video games anymore. I just play for the immersive storytelling experience.

I want to try to make videos over here instead of just writing because it's supposed to be that way in Star Trek.

I am unique. I was educated overseas. So, there is a big cultural mismatch between myself and this country. There are very few people like myself.

I gotta be positive. I am sure Sri Lanka will become an advanced country soon. We have a good plan. It may be that right now, my country is a swamp, it is a mess, it is a disappearing land.

The businesses aren't making much money. The country is just $85b. Netherlands is $900b, US is $20t. There is a bad reputation. I have to figure out this mess about war crimes. Even Jayantha Samarakone, his wife is dealing with UN HRC (apparently; or all lies).

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

I like to compete. I usually don't settle or compromise. I want this place made into a better Singapore. A truly first world nation; with a first world society.

It is just a matter of fixing this country's economy. I am happy I can achieve something. I can figure out how we can go super high tech. This place has to be turned into a rich neighbourhood in California.

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

███████, did not, really, do anything wrong. She just disrespected me, I sacked/ terminated her job. Or she resigned. It gave me eyes on her side, on everyone. I don't have any plans to do anything to them.

It's good. I mean, you can lead by example, and show, how you deal with people who wrong you: forgive them, bless them, sing Colors of Allah, help them out openly, which is pretty cool.

████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

It is a democracy. A melting pot. The people, they make decisions based on information they get. We have a lot of people in the USA, we can use their help. I am writing the movie script because it's the best way.

It's a pretty good script. I have researched all the top movies that won Oscars / Academy Awards or the Golden Globes. It's pretty good. But, I am scared to shoot it because I don't have an Arri Alexa camera.

It seems, just such a waste, a waste of opportunity -- to not shoot it in Arri Alexa cameras. But the people here anyway, and the people in Asia, in Pakistan, Bangladesh, in India, they don't use high end cameras like the ones I am deadset on acquiring to use.

Nothing seems to be done. A lot of apathy.

Whatever.

I am going to get some sleep.

Tomorrow, (today), when I wake up, I will continue uploading those videos. It is good practice. I like to keep my brain occupied and running.

I am mostly done with this script. I was thinking, I should, try to give out / hand out, some writer credits or something to all of my friends for free.

Alex Marsh, Alex Carvell, Jorge, Pauline Weiss, Yaniv, Uwin, Hiruni, in the credits section. If it goes on IMDB, they get to show off.

It doesn't cost me anything. I have to write this script. It is shaping up well.

I love this country. Sri Lanka's a fantastic place. Even if there are a few problems, we can identify them, and we can solve those one by one.
