Calling for Cutting Ties With Iran if Elected

7:30 p.m. (d)

We're cancelling ties with Iran if elected.

They go around killing young girls for showing their faces in public.

It's unacceptable.

I'm mentally languishing over how these other nations have tolerated these kinds of wicked monsters.

I wouldn't even make a movie about those types of psychos who kill young women for showing their faces in their own country when walking to the stores or to work or their homes

As it's too traumatic

I can't even begin to imagine what horror they endure

I was actually going to give up, and do a bbq restaurant franchise, have fun, but upon seeing how these dogs are winning Sri Lanka

They're (Iran) dictating to indoctrinate our impressionable youths with their demonic academic ideas.

I couldn't accept this.

Wait let me quote Madonna's Evita as Lasantha likes:

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange

When I try to explain how I feel

Mashed Potato With Japanese Curry Powder

11:45 p.m. (c)

I like his mashed potato. But I think adding the Japanese curry powder, for a touch of sophistication, a slight mild spicy flair, brings out the potato's favor. I prefer the taste of it then, with all that overloading of butter.

Coca Cola, Cookery Class and Failed A Levels

Saturday, May 4th.

12:00 a.m.

May the fourth be with you.

***

It was the secondary school building, in Colombo International School. I had filled my little blue color, plastic bottle, with a flip up drinking straw, like the S&W model 66 magnum snub nose. I filled it up with Coca Cola, off the Tuk Shop, for like Rs 20 then. And then,

Oh by the way, my dear Voters:

So, as your new president, I need to remind everyone, when I first got Rs 100. I remember going to the Tuk Shop. I bought a Coca Cola, and a hotdog or something I cannot recall. I think. Or just a Coca Cola. For like Rs 20. I got a 300 ml paper cup, or something. When that lady gave me, a Rs 50, a Rs 20, and a Rs 10. I got 3 x notes, for 1 x Rs 100 note. So I thought I got more. Hehehe. █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

I went up the stairs, all the way up, to the 5th or 6th floor. 6th floor, I think it was. I had inadvertently, been shaking up my little bottle like a pressure canister. I walked all the way up those stairs, to my Cookery Class. Those ██████ were learning how to cook. I was ashamed, as when I walked in, all of them, were all girls. I thought horrified, what the ████ is this. As I had already bothered to excruciatingly walk all the way up, I thought, might as well, go in and whatever. I was blushing, my cheeks were turning red, I used to be a little kid with blue water bottle. I sat in the middle. The only empty spot. And at some point, anxious. Not making eye contact. Too shy! I opened my water bottle. Which burst. Spraying coke all over me. I was ---

Jeez

That was traumatic

I never went there again

I also did karate, I got the suit. I am a white belt. I did cricket. I got a cricket bat from Kookaburra. I do an alright 'forward defense'. I did do basketball. I never did rugby because they demanded I go there at 5 a.m. or something, which I didn't have the inkling to follow through on. Sounds stupid. I never did soccer. I guess, I did chess. But I suck at it. I never did debate. I didn't do anything else. I don't really care. i don't care.

But I am sad I didn't get to do cookery class.

I am an alright chef.
