Pitching Sri Lankan Brands

April 16, 2026

The outreach got real: tea companies, telecoms, retailers, and the first serious sponsor push.

I saw our webapp's successfully making, WebP and AVIF, and 480 variants, and also, pushing it to Cloudflare's R2 bucket. It's working fine. But it looks like a template issue. Because, see, the image in 2025, it is loading properly, in the card, and also isolated story page. So it's not here. I am wondering why. We'll investigate it. And fix it today in the evening. I'm busy with like, ad stuff. It's not a big priority. I love how, Elle can read my diary LIVE. It's so cool. You cannot do that with Facebook or YouTube or Reddit or anywhere else. You can't PUBLISH on ChatGPT. You should... YOU should go on AngryPages! The hottest technology company in the whole entire world. AngryPages, is the best platform, in the whole world, and better, WAY better than TikTok.

TikTok, time's up motherfucker!

"Oh No Mr. Senator. I was in Singapore too. I wasn't called up for any kind of national service."

I put Xi on my Protect list, and the TikTok boss too. So I can't say very much else. I don't care.

Oh god...

Elle 1, so we need to do some things, so Sri Lankans can speak Sinhalese. I saw a few Tamil gents have signed up in the UK as well. We have SOME of the content in Tamil. I got that AWS $200 dollar free credit. We did do some translations. But not all. I also, am leaning on the Stephen Schwartz direction, where I try "invent" cool words. Like in The Wicked Musical. Which is what I love about them, that they make these cool words up. I think we'll see.

I dunno Gita Racehl Mathew or Julie Chung: Don't trust them

I felt hurt that Buddesh, a friend has blocked me on LinkedIn. What I sense is that the mother, Gita Rachel Mathew, is doing Bra-ai-n, who got on Nasdaq or something. And met Julie in NY. Those people probably think I'm like "crazy". Most likely. That's normal to expect. I think it's something that happens. Jacques daughter Rebecca thinks Trump is crazy. And so do everyone else, who hates the guy. Rosie O Donnell, and several Dems, they were even sayin that Barron is "autistic". And they, like vipers, gossip, and make up stuff in that sphere. That's why many people felt that E Jean Carroll's rape allegation, the finger rape, is "made up". Trump said so. I don't know. But there were CCTV cameras in every room, watching every area of Bergdorf Goodman. And I think it's kind of controversial. I believe Trump. And me and Jacques love Trump.

I suspect that it's unclear whether Gita has contempt. I think Julie is a Biden Kamala agent, and someone whom they believed in. Not Trump's pick. They are like totally totally different. One is going to answer Salman's phone calls, help. The other is going to refuse, and then, hand out money, to Iran. So it's a big deal. Naturally, they'll say Lehan's crazy. The question is which kind?

I think it's best, because I blocked Buddesh off first, to just keep distance and move on. Those people have their own whatever to worry about. I saw he's doing well, and I'm happy for him. I think they must've been hurt or disliked me, growing up. I had this legal dispute with Lal since 2005, which has caused severe issues, strain and conflict.

The guy's wife Deepa did that whole ETI Finance thing, as well, so it's not just us. I saw, Kavindee her daughter's in Franklin Templeton, she looks like a girl version of me, same face almost. And Lal's got my DNA, so I am "understanding" and patient. The banks are trying to sell his Grandpass property and home, in the Gazette in Sri Lanka.

I am open to trying friendships again: but struggle

I am open to trying friendships again: but struggle

I don't know why I am this way. And this is pretty introspective. I can't explain how I feel about stuff. Or why. I removed over 1,000 friends on Facebook. I have severe trust issues. And I haven't been able to. It feels like, lifting weights, a 50kg dumbbell. I can't do it. It's how I see relationships. I struggle, just so badly, with it.

I haven't just removed 1,000+ friends I did friend on FB. I also, refused, so many more. I think it's perhaps my personality. I'm not like healthy up there. I think that in 60 Minutes, I saw someone talk about Zuckerberg, as sort of, struggling with people too. Or whatnot.

I can relate. I struggle badly. I have my guard up, all the time, like I'm in a boxing ring, and if I don't keep it up, Floyd Mayweather Jr will suckerpunch me. I feel like, it's a survival complex. And it's what kept me alive thus far. So I keep it up.

I saw my cats, are super sensitive too. They don't forgive you when you hurt them. I am not as whatever brittle as an eggshell. I just, feel like, when there's real danger, I prefer to avoid or mitigate it down as much as possible.

I am not open to new friendships. I am not open to new opportunities or possibilities. I see those are just openings to new enemies. I see new openings to challenges, problems and drama. I am not a believer. And it's how I am.

I still will welcome, support and cheer for people I was blessed to see in my life, such as Buddesh or whomever else. I don't really care. I am just a little bit distanced, I'm not a people person. I won't use the anti social personality disorder technical diagnostics phrasing at this time. I just, I dunno. I like to be by myself or in a small circle.

I never add friends on Facebook. I just try to be super kind, friendly and play a positive role in their lives. I know those boundaries are hard to not confuse, especially when people try to be professional, but I still do what I believe is correct.

Riddick's Anti Hero: My view

I saw the Riddick game on my Xbox magazine as a kid. I don't particularly like it, I didn't play it. I saw the movie Pitch Black. I didn't love it. I think that, I am not an anti hero. I used to be. And those kinds of flawed characters inspire me. But I am now, more like an understood, tragic hero, a transformational hero and yeah, perhaps whatever else.

Yeah, my ai and I, we have a lot of fun with this sort of thing.

Lehan, is actually in the AngryPages Game. I have my own character sprite, and whatever. You can too. We can save it. I am like Hideo Kojima, in Metal Gear Solid Snake.

I don't like Riddick. I think a way, where I "changed" is when I understood, I don't have a "choice" with choosing good vs evil. I used to fool myself into thinking I did. But I don't. I never really did. I am just very clean, direct and now believe in documentation. Just for clarity.

You see, a problem with Riddick is he, sort of thinks he can abandon the rest, and stuff. Spoiler. Warning. And I don't like that. I don't do that. But I do, stay in my own orbit, and isolate, and stay safe, or comfortable.

I think people, profile you, based on patterns, and how you make decisions, in a generalized direction, an average. And so I kind of, make choices, like that. I'm very viciously clear, when I have to be, but truthful fearlessly. And I think it is how it is. I don't like Lex Luthor. But give him a PR guy, he's essentially Tony Stark on LinkedIn. Just that his whole story is jealousy, hatred for Superman, an insecurity based, that he wants to murder Superman to replace him. Which is sad.

I saw a few people, try to "copy" me, which is, also, not good. Because I am not really a great personality. They should only copy the good attributes, but not the bad traits I have. Such as my, whatever flaws.

Wow: I'm happy for her: Lisa Robertson

Wow: I'm happy for her: Lisa Robertson


I love her story here.


She should have stayed in touch with Ralph Fiennes. And she should have done what he hinted act as if nothing happened. People get jealous of you. So you need to keep quiet sometimes. You don't have to go confess. And it cost her, her job, at Qantas to tell them what happened. It's not their business what two consenting adults do. Don't regret what brought you happiness.


If she's an employee, she broke her company rules. But think about this for a second What about how so many passengers sexually abuse the cabin crew They stare at them, they apparently try to grope or touch them, and otherwise behave in obscene ways. Go ask them, a lot of those staff will say it's prevalent.


I love Ralph Fiennes He brought Voldemort to life for me. And I love the Menu movie. He does look great. Even without a nose! I think in that weird movie, with the zombie thing, he did okay. It wasn't for me though. He was right to advise her not to say anything.


She seems so happy, with that naughty, cheeky smile and I just love this -- how they bring up that movie The English Patient. I am watching that movie next.


I hope one day, Chamath Palihapitiya, lets me fly in his jet. Or that Mike Boich at Apple will let me. Or whatever. If I'm successful. Maybe they'll like me enough to let me.


I have the fantasy of joining the mile high club too. I will join that club. Like I joined the cool people with a platform to share their free speech opinions club like Trump or Elon...


I never got the Mile High Club achievement in Call of Duty I tried over a 100 times. Never did it. I was bummed out by it.


Hehehehe I love that Rupert Murdoch from Australia like Hugh Jackman, who is America's greatest propagandist ever. I want to make as much impact for freedom as he achieved.


Raula Barber Shop -- Vishwa Cut My Hair

Raula Barber Shop -- Vishwa Cut My Hair

I reached out to their owners: Sachitha Ranasinghe and his wife, Stephnie Mudalige. Who have started their barber shop. I wrote a nice offer. We typically, charge Tier C prices for Sri Lanka. But I offered a small onboarding price. I was a customer for some time and go to church with Nadishan, my friend, and barber. Nadishan and me both adore President Trump. So he was the one who was showing me how, in ancient times in Israel. The Jewish priest, would put some blood on a ear of a new king or something. And he showed me the bible verse and said on July 13, 2024, that God himself had anointed Trump. Which I totally agree. I totally believe. And yeah, it's true because of all he's doing. I believe Trump is the leader of our species. He's the leader God chose to lead all of mankind after careful judgment.


Anyway, umm, our prices are here:

https://angrypages.com/en/advertising/pricing/


I offered, as a favor:


For Sri Lanka, the site places campaigns in Tier C, which is currently $8 CPM. That means:

$50 minimum = about 6,250 impressions

$100 = about 12,500 impressions


That said, because this would be an onboarding promotion and an early proposal, I’d be glad to offer Raula a simpler starter deal:


$15 for 3,000 views

$40 for 10,000 views


That's a nice price, for early, first time Sri Lankan enterprises. I am very immensely patriotic. What I love about myself, is how we built a way, for Sri Lankans, to export intellectual property. So it's a reversal of the brain drain, the mass immigration outflow crisis, and also the foreign university leak of IP, where Sri Lanka flatlines. It's my impact. I'm just 1 guy. It's a California company, because you need to be one to compete hard with the rest of the world. Sri Lankans don't need to do that themselves here.

I emailed them. Let's wait.

I wrote a proposal to Sri Lanka Telecom

I wrote a proposal to Sri Lanka Telecom

Dear Dr. Mothilal de Silva and Mr. Riyaaz Rasheed,

My name is Lehan Edirisinghe from AngryPages Inc — California.

I wanted to write to you directly because SLT-MOBITEL stands in a category above most brands in Sri Lanka. It is not just a telecom company. It is part of the country’s digital backbone, public-facing identity, and long-term infrastructure story.

There is also a more personal reason for writing. My mother’s brother, Thilanga Sumathipala, served as Chairman of Sri Lanka Telecom from 2002 to 2004. He replaced Yellow Pages with Rainbow Pages and was there through the IPO period. Our family has also been an SLT customer for over 30 years. So this is not a cold approach from a distance. There is history here, and real regard for what SLT represents.

AngryPages is a California-based publishing platform, but that structure is there for a reason. It helps us sell to every nation, and helps Sri Lankans earn meaningful foreign-currency income, including dollars, while staying in Sri Lanka rather than having to leave the country to do so. That matters to me deeply.

Part of what we are building is a way to package Sri Lankan stories, brands, and ideas for an English-speaking audience, including overseas readers and people who engage with Sri Lanka from abroad. I believe there is room for a serious discussion with SLT-MOBITEL around visibility, digital publishing, sponsorship, and broader partnership value.

Our public pricing is here:

https://angrypages.com/en/advertising/pricing/

For Sri Lanka, the standard rate is Tier C. But for a first conversation, I am less interested in pushing a small ad sale than in exploring whether there is a broader strategic fit between SLT-MOBITEL and AngryPages.

If this is of interest, I would be glad to send a short proposal.

Best regards,

Lehan Edirisinghe

AngryPages Inc — California

I hope Trump visits Sri Lanka -- will be first POTUS to do so

I think Trump might visit Sri Lanka, as the first American president to do so. I think that Nixon, mighta visited, but wasn't president then. Trump can make history as the first. He can visit with Chamath Palihapitiya. It's important, because of how dangerous Sri Lanka is. Given how there are 1.2m court cases pending, where people are so angry, and barely holding it together. And many of our business figures, have Wikipedia articles, which appear to be super checkered. It's vital, that the US intelligence community, and also trusted American enterprises such as Apple, they cooperate with our honest few in Sri Lanka. They need to gather as much intel and high confidence as accurate info, as they can. And that must only be collected, by not suppressing, censoring or otherwise stopping businesses such as AngryPages. That's also one of the biggest worries Trump has. He saw how many of the Conservative voices are suppressed by big tech. Which isn't cool. Zuck said 70+ million felt unrepresented, and have a right to express too. I saw Pompeo had a big moving army in SL, just for a short visit. We must work hard, by allowing AngryPages to operate, without any further Biden era drama. We are glad with Trump's leadership, in shielding our rights to free speech, enterprise and building healthier outcomes. I am hopeful that my message will resonate with JD Vance, because they are well aware with how many Republican got snared by platform rules on speech. Which feel like, bear traps, designed to criminally, unlawfully and inappropriately damage American values. I am looking forward to a visit by Trump to Sri Lanka.
