Jonathan, he writes Haiku poems.

I am also keen on rhyming my artistry like Quentin, as it's a lot easier, fun to read and it's better art.

Let's try it out!!

: )

1st line 5 syllables

2nd line 7 syllables

3rd line is 5 syllables

Oh wow, a Haiku does NOT rhyme..

Hmm

So, it's not a poem poem

Le Han Loves Me Too

But He Loves Her A Lot More

I Will K!ll Her Soon

In Emperor (2012):

The emperor of Japan has recited a Tanka:

It is our hope,

that all the world's oceans

be joined in peace.

1 2 3 4

1 2 3 4 5 6

1 2 3 4

It's wrong! Must be 5 , 7 , 5 , 7 , 7

It (1) is (2) our (3) hope, (4)

that (1) all (2) the (3) world's (4) oceans (5, 6)

be (1) joined (2) in (3) peace (4).

So (1), why (2) do (3) the (4) winds (5) and (5) waves (6),

now (1) rise (2) up (3) in (4) an (5) angry (6) rage (7)?

It's wrong! Unless, maybe, it was in Japanese, and then, it was translated to English, but even so--wrong.

Yesterday's Cuba 1979, I saw, they misidentified a Colt handgun pistol, a 1911, famous design, for a Bareta, it was Sean Connery mucking it up of all people.

This is also the story of Sri Lanka's monarchy. After 2,000 years, the country's ruler executed / killed as a punishment, for treason, an individual's family.

Then the Sri Lanka Royal Family and King were deposed / removed, and taken to a prison in India.

I think it was from 500 bc, and it lasted this 1815 ad, so, 500+1500+315 = 2,315 years.

Hirohito and Douglas MacArthur are shown in a historical black-and-white photograph, symbolizing a significant post-World War II meeting. Both figures are standing side by side in a formal setting. Hirohito, wearing a dark formal suit with a tie, appears solemn and composed. His attire is traditional, with a striped pattern visible on his trousers, and he stands with his hands at his sides. Douglas MacArthur, dressed in a light-colored military uniform, exudes a commanding presence. His posture is confident, with hands behind his back. The background features elegant decor, including ornate plates on a table, lush plants, and statues, suggesting a grand and official venue. The lighting is soft, emphasizing the serious and formal nature of the meeting, which historically marked a turning point in the relationship between Japan and the United States during the occupation period.

The locals, Sri Lankans, have a local interpretation of some words, some customs, some moral questions on right and wrong.

It is important to identify these, then, very carefully, avoid any further disrespect or contempt or problems that will arise.

There won't be attempts by me to carry on or sustain any failed relationships. Relationships will be business orientated, and globabilist outlooks.

I'm happy with the way things are going. It doesn't really matter to me how SL bets their 12 eggs in the basket, but my eggs are in the US.

The image is a screenshot from VLC media player showing a scene with three men dressed formally in tuxedos, suggesting a setting of sophistication or a significant event. The man in the center, identified by the hint as Andy Garcia, is wearing a white tuxedo jacket with a black bow tie and is holding a cigarette. His expression is contemplative, as he looks down at the table. The two men on either side of him wear black tuxedos and appear to be focused on what they are doing, possibly preparing or stirring their drinks. The setting resembles a diner or bar counter, with cups, a sugar dispenser, and other typical items present. The lighting is dim, creating a nighttime ambiance. The VLC media player's interface is visible, showing the file path "C:\\Users\\Lehan\\Do..." and the video file name "utl-tlc.mkv."

I am watching The Lost City (2005) by Andy Garcia, Mr Bank from Ocean's 11. I believe, if I am not mistaken, I saw him in Mamma Mia too.

I recognized, Nestor Carbonell, I loved him in Lost. I was also wondering, as a straight heterosexual male, why his eyes look that very cool way, whether he has used make up or applied dark color cream or dye.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Néstor_Carbonell

The image captures a group of people gathered closely together, suggesting a formal or solemn event. The setting appears to be indoors, possibly at a ceremony or memorial, as evidenced by the expressions and attire of the attendees. Among the crowd, a woman dressed in a white sari stands out, holding a bottle of water and a fan, indicative of a warm environment. The people around her, including children and adults, are dressed in formal attire, with the children wearing a white shirt and a blue dress, respectively.
The individuals in the image convey a range of emotions from solemnity to contemplation. The woman in the sari, likely Manjaree Gamage, has a pensive expression, while the older woman seated in front, possibly Milina Sumathipala, appears reflective. A man in the crowd, potentially Mikey de Alwis, is seen holding a camera to his shoulder, suggesting documentation of the event. The lighting is subdued, emphasizing the serious or respectful nature of the gathering. Overall, the image suggests a community coming together, possibly in remembrance or support.

This is Mikey De Alwis, as my dad's funeral in 2005, i think he might have brought somebody along.

I have no clue how he knew my dad died so fast, i saw the parents at events.

I think at Intercontinental Hotel, which we would visit as Sharma owned it, oh and Sharma's son Sandesh looks just like Nestor Carbonell, same eyes.

The eye brows! Like, umm, Eugene Levy.

I have darker eye lids. I am very self conscious. I am very irritated, I have a slight yellow hue in one of my eyes, I think my left eye. It's just cosmetic, I want to have lasered off one day.

The girl in blue, could not have been Ronalie, as she is Mikey's older sister, so I imagine she must be taller. My grandma is seated, Anusha is standing, Manjaree Gamage is behind her.

The image is a screenshot from a video being played on VLC media player, specifically a file named "utl-tlc.mkv".

WTF is up with his eyes?

They are like black, eye liner or something!!

In Pirates of the Caribbean, Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp, who is apparently blind on one side, left I think, I don't know, it's a 50 50 guess, I think he definitely puts make up on, eye liner like a girl.

I don't know, maybe they wanted to create a distinguished, memorable look for the movie.
