1:30 a.m.
I just saw Scent of a Woman (1992). I love Al Pacino, probably perhaps, the greatest actor of all time.
I made some list of all my favourite actors, it must here somewhere on my Captain's Log.
I am sleepy, just took 45 mg of Mirtazapine.
I had a few thoughts on ███████--
***
My mother is███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
█████████████████████████████████████████████████
***
Al Pacino, as Lt. Col. Slade is good--
This is like Don Juan De Marco with Marlon Brando and Johnny Depp--
This guy made this as his romantic movie.
Everyone seems to be a Lt. Colonel, I liked Kilgore in Apocalypse Now: Robert Duvall.
***
I was not able to find the knife.
I might have lost it, but I mean, I did not need it, I needed the 4 spoons, forks and maybe dessert spoon--
I hardly used the knife. I used it today to cut the chicken, though it is rare.
I think we will keep looking for it.
My mum and some visitors made a nice caramelized, dried onions -- I want more. I ate like 35% of it.
***
My mum is not a complete moron; she gave me 2,000 LKR yesterday lol
I ████ uneducated people, they are a curse, a bane
***
I hated high school, I never went, it was terrible--
███████████████████████████████████████████
████████████████████████████████
CIS was a s***ty school, but it is the best in Sri Lanka.
The rest of the schools here are horrible--
the local Sri Lanka syllabus is a disgrace haha
people here will not be able to do well in the US
or in any developed country that values values.
It is only here, these guys can be a real problem.
I kept having flashbacks about how bad high school was--
as I watched this beautiful movie.
G-d, I love America.
I love the US culture.
I do not belong here in this hell hole.
I do not deserve this punishment to be here.
I do not write for a SL audience, I do not ███████████here--
I write for my US audience.
█████████████████████████████████████████████
I want my team or Thilanga to deal with people here.
The reason SL is a shithole is because of a lack of--
people like me.
This is the reality.
It is why everyone is so obsessed with my writings.
They know it is true and they know it seems--
I am the only real hope for this place.
Or at least, that is how I sell myself.
***
It is boiling in my room.
This Selva guy could not do it.
These Sri Lankans, these Sinhalese and Tamils--
they are Indians.
They are just like the Indians:
a subset of the Indians--
████████████████████████
Look at Slumdog Millionaire, it will show the truth --
that all the Bollywood movies never reveal.
2:00 a.m.
I would really get along with Churchill: I would tell brother Winston,████████████████████████████████████████████
It is just the way I talk: It is what I see.
Hehehe
████████████████████████████████████
I cannot stand them.
So, I do not.

***
I use Asterisks because I distill things now, I am so sleepy--
I just want to go to sleep, so I summarise.
I also use short sentences -- easier to read narrow lines.
This is easier-
to read than-
the previous-
sentence.
Apparently.
I dunno.
I use the *** to write about another topic.
***
I like the big scene in this movie about Pacino defending his client.
Jacques Huyghebaert is like my Lt. Col. Slade, he is buddies with Lt. Gen. Shavendra Silva too.
Jonathan too.
Good guys.
I am disappointed, these guys are trying to help me, my dad's friends, my family, they betrayed me--
that is something I will never look past, I will never forgive-
this guy Marapana, I did not have to remove him--
I just did it because I cannot forgive him.
This guy was out of order, no point keeping around--
They did nothing for Thilanga--
He would have gotten out of his past case regardless.
President █████████ did the whole thing.
Gotabaya gave Sabry and Navin an important job--
to fix the courts up, they f***ed it all up--
they are lawyers, not managers or leaders--
Navin knows jack f***ing s*** about technology--
just like this █████████ Sandalal who is the--
the People's Bank CIO, who retired--
if that is how low the standards are--
I am only restricted by US tech company thinking--
I realise clearly, the bigger US firms are smart--
the smaller ones, startups, they are f***ing stupid.
They do not know how to exploit things.
They are not the type of leaders who ran big firms--
Those days, US firms were led by tough guys--
who had it in them to get results--
nowadays, the newer firms are run by clowns.
***
I love the scene at the start:
##
- Do you want Tommy in or out ?
- Leave him out !
He's chasin' that Calico ginch
from the track houses again !
Down deep, the man
is a lump of sugar.
- Sir ?
- Don't call me sir !
I-l'm sorry.
I mean mister, sir.
Uh-oh, we got a moron here,
is that it ?
No, mister --
Uh, that is --
Uh, Lieutenant.
Yes, sir, Lieu--
Lieutenant Colonel.
years on the line, nobody ever
busted me four grades before.
Get in here,
you idiot !
Come a little closer. I wanna get a
better look at ya.
