I liked Magic City. I kept thinking about Dr Hans Wijayasuriya because Jeffrey Dean Morgan who plays Ike Evans looks like him and also about Sharma uncle because of the story being about a waterfront hotel in Florida that reminded me of the Intercontinental Hotel at Galle Face. TV and story telling really is powerful.
I love it because I love how crime doesn't pay. Evil people always pay. Ike does bad things, he goes along with murderers, prostitutes, drug dealers and wicked people, but he does it because it's what he does, it's his job, it's not who he is. I'm also like him. I'm like Dr Hans Wijayasuriya or my dad. I'm not what I do, it's not who I am. I almost always do what I do because I have no other choice and I can't accept the alternative which is to fail, for our enterprise customers and everyone in Sri Lanka to fail, suffer, lose their money or data or become slaves.
12:15 a.m.
I feel like these movies and TV shows are often about us, or relate to me. It's got a lot of parallels. It's very scary, but what happens in the US, it tends to happen in the UK or Sri Lanka. I don't know. I'm going to go to sleep soon. I'm tired. I'll look forward to talking to Mihiran Perera tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 p.m. He's going to be a useful team mate. I'm having fun. I'm a good team leader, I'm a good guy, and I think I'm doing well and succeeding.
I have a lot of fun with what I do. It's mostly good. I'm just disturbed by all the evil in cyber security or war. I just feel sad. I worry about karma or G-d. I think about ██████████████████████████. I think about my own business getting into armaments. I think deeply. ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ If there's one thing i learn from Magic City, it's that I'm not what i do, it's just a job, it's not who i am.
I like to think I'm like the CIA hehehe -- i got moles and agents and spies planted in all the 23 enterprise customers. I've got everyone in the inside. It's insane -- they gotta make a movie about this, I gotta write a book about this one day.
12:45 a.m.
I'm like really sleepy. I'm going to sleep. I'm so sleepy. I'm so tired.
1:00 a.m.
I really miss England. I miss the hearty tomato soup I'd make, to dip my bread in. I miss Tesco. I miss mini Jarlsberg cheese, I miss the marmite cheddar bites. I miss the Chicken Penang with Jasmine Rice. I miss the IED Lamb Donner Kebabs in Pita Bread those Muslims would offer.
I miss the limited edition Nacho Cheese Stuffed Tacos from Tescos. They were out of stock, I wrote an email and then Tesco sent me a few boxes of them hehehe. I love England. I miss that place. I think I was born there. But I mean, it'll always be there for me. I'm going to sleep. I'm so sleepy.
1:15 a.m.
Oops. Cheese stuffed nachos.* Jesus. f***ing. Christ. That was awesome. I loved those. I gotta make em myself. I saw and was heartbroken to see Iranians respect the US and Israel flag while protesting in Iranian universities. We must take back Iran and free their great Iranian people.
12:30 p.m.
I had 2 nightmares. 1 involved Dr Hans Wijayasuriya or my Dialog Axiata PLC deal and the other involved death. I slept again. I can't remember my nightmare fully. I just know I felt scared. It wasn't a nightmare, but maybe just a scary dream.
8:30 p.m.
I had a 2 hour chat with Mihiran Perera. He's happy to be COO. He's recommended Chetiya Wijesinghe from South Asian Technologies as our new CEO and also Rehan Ariyaratne, the Seylan Bank CEO's son as a CMO. I told him Chetiya can be CMO and Rehan Seylan Bank account manager.
I'm getting hungry. My throat is sore too. I don't know. I told Mihiran to keep quiet about things. I think he's going to try to talk to NDB and Union Bank, to try register us as a supplier and then organize a presentation. It'll work.
Americans got on the moon a long time ago. We're trying to get on mars. This s*** isn't difficult or rocket science. People are incentivised and motivated well. I'm doing a good job. I'll never really give anybody else the CEO job unless they have new plans.
I'll probably keep the top job forever. Everyone else isn't from a known, good family and everything. I can't trust them. I only ever trust me. I'll have to reject Chetiya. I don't care. I need to try get us registered as a supplier to NDB and do a presentation.
8:45 p.m.
I'm watching Boardwalk Empire. I love it. It's my kind of show. I'm hungry. I ate spaghetti, but it wasn't enough. I'm starving. Mihiran is like 120kg and 6 feet tall. I got myself the muscle haha. Just need two guys with assault rifles and you've got yourself a Michael Corleone.
My mum's going to Mawanala to a Edna water board case. It's ridiculous. The courts in Sri Lanka are a terrible, not funny joke. I'm going to ignore it. I'll just watch Boardwalk Empire and call it a night. Mihiran didn't want to talk when I messaged him, I'll try again tomorrow or something.
9:45 p.m.
I'm going to sleep. I'm hungry. But no food available to eat right now. My throat is stuffy.
