Friday the 13th, Falling Stocks and Global Instability

I didn't write anything yesterday as it was Friday the 13th, May.

Omg, this is bad! All our friends are losing money. But even so, it's an unstable situation in the world. We are doing better than most. It's better this than the Covid-19 and Russian invasion of Ukraine; threatening to invade Finland, Iceland and Georgia.

The image features a portrait of a person identified as Lehan Edirisinghe. The photo is stylized with a red monochrome filter, giving it a distinct and artistic look. Lehan is smiling, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. A digital flower accessory is placed on the left side of his head, adding a playful and whimsical element to the composition. He is wearing a light-colored shirt, and the background consists of vertical lines, possibly wood paneling, suggesting an indoor setting like a theater or auditorium. The overall mood is casual and cheerful, aligning with the lighthearted nature of the flower accessory. This digitally enhanced portrait highlights a combination of natural expression and creative editing.

Freemasonry, Political Plans and Preferring Fewer People

4:45 p.m.

Everyone said " Congratulations ", that I "did a good job" when i was initiated, passed and raised as a freemason.

Hehe

I'm calling our political party something simple and also our political plans. We are very inclusive.

There'll be people to deal with others. I don't want to do it. This is because I just don't have the patience for it. I enjoy that there's fewer people in my life. i like that. I like that there's fewer people. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ I prefer centrifuged enriched quality over quantity. I like to have only good people near me.

I don't care about Jagath. You can't blame him for Channa. Those people had bad educations. The country's been capsized now. So, might as well just forget about the place for now. The people will be unlikely to do anything about it. The people are not like me.

In this video frame from the film "Lawrence of Arabia," the scene is set in an expansive outdoor corridor of a historic building, likely representing a location in the film's Middle Eastern setting. The architecture features grand columns and arches, exhibiting a classical design with intricate details. Several individuals, dressed in period military uniforms and civilian attire, are walking through the corridor, casting long shadows on the tiled floor due to the bright sunlight. The atmosphere conveys a sense of historical grandeur and military formality. A British flag can be faintly seen in the background, hinting at the colonial context of the setting. The word "INTERMISSION" is prominently displayed across the bottom of the image, indicating a break in the film's narrative. The lighting is warm, contributing to the majestic and timeless feel of the scene, fitting the epic nature of the film.

Freemasonry, Germaphobia and Doubting a Political Temperament

4:45 p.m.

(b)

The intermission is at 60+ % timestamp.

I think that even though, I did my initiation, passing and raising, i didn't really do much. I felt the compliments were mostly automatic, systematic.

I worry, I am like that person. I remember there was this person, in Singapore, shook hands with the fisherman. Then quickly washed. I think Lee Kuan Yew, hypocritically, like a stage-master, said she didn't have the temperament for politics. But on Wikileaks, I saw, he has claimed he's a germaphobe, and then he's religiously sanitized his hands after shaking hands with the US ambassador. I don't know if I have the temperament for it either. I guess not.

I will just invent something.

Oh I have not got much white blood cells due to my antidepressant use. I don't want to shake your hand. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

Syndicating the Betting Business and Leaving Freemasonry

5:00 p.m.

I remember telling Wagisha, that they should "syndicate' the betting business. She asked what it meant. I think it means

publish or broadcast (material) simultaneously in a number of newspapers, television stations, etc.

I dunno

I was at that place, in her living room, with my fake British accent, which i use to blend in with the tea drinkers. It's not really a fake British accent. I just change a few inflections.

I remember small things like that. Like that meeting, Ocean's 11 or 12 or whatever, where Clooney or Ocean, they meet that thief boss.

I am not happy to take part in my free masonry. It's lost its appeal. The quality of people you find is horrible. You don't want to waste any more time on it.. It's a waste of time, money and energy. I'm waiting to get rid of it.

A Journalist Shot Near a Battlefield and a Well-Made Movie

5:15 p.m.

I remember that girl who got shot by either Hamas or the IDF recently. It's really quite sad. Journalists shouldn't be in the middle of a battlefield.

This is a nice movie! Well-made.

The image features Lawrence Fink, associated with BlackRock, in a formal setting.

His expression is cheerful, and he seems to be in a positive mood, possibly celebrating an achievement or attending a significant event. The background prominently displays an American flag with stars and stripes, which adds to the formal and patriotic atmosphere of the scene. The lighting is bright and even, emphasizing a clear and crisp image, typical for event photography. The composition focuses on Fink, highlighting him as the central figure against the flag backdrop, which further underscores the importance of the occasion.

The image appears to show a business or formal event, set indoors with a curtain in the background. The scene is bright, suggesting ample lighting, possibly from overhead lights, given the formal setting. In the image, Larry Fink, wearing a dark suit, a white shirt, and a striped tie, is engaged in conversation. His posture is open, with one hand gesturing as if making a point or emphasizing his speech. He appears to be speaking to someone next to him.
However, the image has been edited. The face of the person next to him has been replaced with a photoshopped photo of Lehan Edirisinghe, who is smiling broadly. The added face has a red tint and includes a decorative flower in the hair, contrasting with the otherwise formal attire of a suit and red tie. The editing creates a humorous and surreal element to the image, blending a casual, playful portrait into a formal setting. The overall composition is centered on the interaction between the two figures, with the focus on the contrast between the serious and casual elements created by the photoshopping.
