When Bingo Ate the Cactus

February 10, 2021

<p>A tired day of muted notifications, coffee, beard talk, and delayed errands kept drifting until one old memory stood out: a cactus bought with care at a plant exhibition, then quickly eaten by Bingo the golden retriever. The story is about small frustration, private aimlessness, and how a silly family loss can end up feeling like the truest part of the day.</p>

I was thinking of charity. I was thinking that much of our profits should be used to vitalise SL dramatically. I was thinking a lot of essentials, we must do.

I wrote, "I remember, I went to a plant exhibition once, a long time ago, with my mum, I looked at all the plants. The plant I liked the most, was a beautiful cactus. I thought, this is a tough ass MF, this one SOB can tough it out, no need to water it.. I bought it, I loved that prized cactus. I had a dream, it will grow up. Then I placed it in our garden. A few hours later, or the next day, to my ghastly horror, the golden retriever, Bingo, had eaten it." as a comment to a picture of a bonsai tree on a Japan Facebook page. I love plants.

I need to grow a weed plant maybe. But I do not know. I do not really smoke marijuana. Or do drugs. Or drink. Or smoke.

I am watching a MasterClass on acting by Samuel L Jackson, one of my favourite, indeed my favourite black actor. My favourite actor is Marlon Brando, followed by Al Pacino, followed by Donald Trump, who is only just acting, and then, I would say, this guy, this Johnny Depp,

Money Power Glory lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

8:15 p.m.

My brother Milan has tried to █████████ with my mum and sister present. He was upset I have taken one of his ice cream. I think someone like him, there is only one solution. He is of no moral worth, he has broken the law, and he should be dealt with too. I think it will happen at some point. I will cease any communications with him.

At least with Thilanga uncle, there was a real: he believed intimidation is correct as I was not playing along with his friend Sandalal Edirisinghe "attacking" my startup illegally.

Thilanga uncle, I would like to wishfully guess, he would not have █████████ really, though I am not sure.

This Milan, I must get justice from him. █████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

He is working at that ██████████████ Ashok Pathirage's Softlogic. I called his son Prashan and complained. Prashan claimed he did not want to address it as it is a family matter or a personal matter. I disagree, his ██████████████ dad Ashok has paid this guy.

So, he is responsible.

███████████████████████████

He wanted to testify against Gotabaya Rajapaksa at one point too. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

This guy must be dealt with.

Prashan said some strange things about Freemasonry, he is a hit weird. I am happy to end a relationship with this guy, if he has no spine, no point keeping him around as a friend.

Of course, in my company, or in my life, the moment someone does something messed up, I will have to be responsible. This sort of thing, if someone is trying to fight over an ice cream, it is pretty pathetic.███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
