I feel pretty pissed off at my team, for "mutiny" over fighting me over that rejected book, by an author in Sri Lanka
I feel I wasn't respected, my vision wasn't honored as a founder, and they tried to diminish our brand value.
They all tried to gang up, like the senators did to Caesar, which is what led to the downfall of Rome.
She said, "I, think I, remember something.. "
And as I recall
I think
We both kinda liked it
And I said, well, that's the one thing they've got
This is a beautiful review, that Tenali's friend Stephan has given her book, to help Scales, scale up in the world.
I am also, super proud of her. Elle, our company mascot, has a new friend. And in my mind, I'm painting a picture, of the Nintendo universe, with
Mario and Pikachu and Princess Peach or Bowser or that Mew Two
And Donkey Kong and Zelda
Except, we're having our own AngryPages characters
Like Elle, and now, Scales
And the in game, Hemasiri, super soldier (he's red cheeked ashamed)
And Quintus the sailor man
And Shaminda the wild life guy
And
I guess, that's enough for now
It's super cool
I love the people who help me, and I will never, because it's documented, there's money trails, and AI, and this is my personal diary, I won't forget the people who helped me as a founder, a business owner, and a publisher.
People like Quintus, and Tenali, matter a lot to me, and even as a 10 year old, she has won a real, powerful friend -- where like God planted Scales in her mind -- she's got a really kind, super hero to back her up, to give her lift and help her dreams take off, come true and grow with her.
AngryPages' Elle hugs Tenali's Scales; we'll work hard on what we see as the start of this beautiful partnership
The little girl, 10, reminds me of me as a minor
We -- AngryPages Inc, have a Terms, where you gotta be 16+ to use our services
But that's only because, we're sort of a book store, where anyone can publish technically, and put their book on our shelves
My dream, is to make sure everyone's book is on our AngryPages service
And I'm not doing everything right, I am demanding, so if their book's not good enough or they're rude or the work is offensive
We don't do it
But we're working hard on my dream
A book store, has young adult books, and it's often got an adult's section too, where adult magazines, and adult fiction like like 50 Shades, is found
That doesn't mean, despite Amazon being located, nearby or in front of a XXX, porn shop, in Seattle, Washington State, in USA, that we're a porn site
I just told people, we're 16+ to manage their expectations
That doesn't mean anything much to me
Children aren't stupid
They -- I love kids
I'm -- I can't wait to give Tenali her first pay check, just like my dad Palith, once gave me my first $1 dollar, or Rs 100 or 100 LKR back in 2000s at her age
The circle of life, it has now swung full circle
Some of the sailors at my company's ship, they aren't buccaneers, they're mutineers -- treacherous bastards..
They are fighting me at every turn
Scum
They are trying to f*** with me about my publishing decisions
Trying to wind me up, to wound me, to f*** with me
They're all angry I said no to a few loser projects
But because I'm publisher, thank f***ing God, I can do it
"Don't let the bastards get you down!" -- Rihanna. Let's work on the good, the Tenali, that God has bLEssed us with!
Wow, I love this
I am truly loving this
I shared this video, or more accurately, they shared it with me
Tenali had a dream of a movie
***
People will b***h whether you're doing well or not
Got a bottle of pirate rum in me hand
And my mind on my cash moolah
Cheers to the HMS AngryPages
I'll swig to that
F*** yeah, yeah yeah -- yeah!
It's getting Ivanka beautiful up in here

It's getting Alina Habba-ful up in here
No trashbags
