Be Still My Bleeding Eyes

and then he ate the little statue

I was driving somewhat aimlessly when this behemoth assaulted my eyes. My first reaction was sheer terror. I thought it was a fucking dinosaur or something. Then I realized it was a giant cutout of Mahinda Rajapakse and was even more freaked out. He’s standing there pointing at the Chinese Performing Arts Centre like, ‘look what I got’. I am somewhat inured to Mahinda’s marketing by now, but this three story cutout is HURTING MY BRAIN. I blubbered for a while but it looks like it’ll be there for a while. I hope it rains all week.

The Military State Of Mind:

jcnars: @rubbish, you hit the coin. Indi seems to have sold his soul of late. Sucking up to the govt. like a pro. @girigor, talking loud doesn't always means talking sense. We are in a period between wars, if: a) nuts like you don't STFU and b) china is allowed a naval base in SL....
Girigoris the One: Tamils are being mistreated, Sinhalese should understand blah blah blah Yoy say "But for the sinhalese people, they find it good that the armed forces are around because almost all of them are sinhalese and past experience shows they will favour their own people, sadly." Tell me when the LTTE was around, did they even allow normal Sinhalese peeps to walk in to their area freely? Where were you then? Did you complain to the LTTE why...
myil selvan: dear indi, You as a Canadian sinhalese may find it hard to comprehend the nature of militarization. But for the sinhalese people, they find it good that the armed forces are around because almost all of them are sinhalese and past experience shows they will favour their own people, sadly. But for the Tamil people, they see it as an occupying force not interested in their welfare but only in holding real-estate. The coming days, months are...

Did Little Children Create God?:

Shammi: It's funny the way most of the stories and rituals in the bible have so much in common with legends of more ancient pagan civilizations. Bits of the tales of Gilgamesh, Dionysus et al are mirrored in the descriptioons of Noah, Moses, Jesus, the Holy Trinity and the holy family etc., even a trace of Solomon reflected in Mahoshada of the jataka tales. They could've been a little more creative at least. I think I'm...
Whacko: the question is why we stop asking these questions when we are adults...
Kids Say: No, little children didn't create god - insecure and ignorant people did. Believing in and worshipping a magical invisible creature in the sky gives a lot of people comfort and security. That said, little children can be wonderfully creative. Have you seen the show "Kids Say the Darndest Things"? (You can watch clips of the show on youtube). This sounds like something from that show: Christianity is the belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie who...

Othello:

Electra: Actually race has little to do with what Othello is actually about. Of course it does make an appearance here and there, but it's possible that the race theme has been slightly over-analysed (as is most of Shakespeare's work) by later interpreters. However - it deals with the equally potent themes of jealousy, obsession, paranoia, the idea of masculinity. To me those are the things that makes Othello a truly remarkable account of what is...

Merit’s Red Sox

The Red Sox finally beat the Yankees. I care because my friend Merit does. This image is a rollover. I remember watching the last American League final with Merit and everybody at Cherrier. It was heartbreaking. Boston people are crazy about the Red Sox, and the Yankees are the devil. It's good to see the Red Sox finally win, though we only get Cricket on TV here. I'm

Cannabis Christmas

There is nothing to this post. I just wanted to show the weird cannabis decorations at Liberty Plaza. I also tried to drive a stick today and I can't. Driving on the right side is completely disorienting and I don't know where my feet are. Car's in the shop and I'm on the bus, or bleeding money three at a time. Went to a strategy meeting for the highest circulation magazine in Sri Lanka -

Unawatuna, Thru Indian Eyes

We're on the beach, drinking Lion beer and playing cards. Guillaume looks like a lobster from the sun. He's been eating lobster every other meal. This is somewhat normal for me, but the Bangaloreans are pumped. It's a pretty cool scene, now that I think about it. I've long thought of Unawatuna has a bit uncool suburb of Colombo, but it's really quite amazing. The beach is a pretty pretty blue and there's just enough

Dinner With Lucy

Room With A View

Ancient Lanka was a city, I think it only makes sense to live that way. You can slip down from the hills on black carpet, two hours to the sea. I'm chilly in the morning, swimming again by afternoon. Can lose oneself in the rolling hills, the rolling sea. Blessing and curse, for better or worse, even here the Blueberry still connect. There's a new magazine on the table. My ex-girlfriend is on the cover.
