Random thoughts on a sleepless night part : 2

Like the Fast and Furious movie franchise, I Thought of blogging about a needless sequel. Here I am at 2.05 in the morning with my eyes wide open wearing a sarong (yes you read it correctly. Guy wearing shorts is wearing a sarong. The reason for this is when you are in your awesome late 30s you seek comfort more than functionality plus the Sinhala Tamil New Year is coming up and practice makes perfect) sleepless on the bed. I am not the same person I was when I blogged the first “Random thoughts on a sleepless night”.  Now I am a father with added responsibilities 😀. That’s the biggest accomplishment that I have received as of yet in my life. 

Times have changed but these sleepless nights still brings out thought provoking questions that that needs answering. 

1) Some random article has named Sri Lanka as the top destination for solo female travellers. My question is why? It is still hard for a female to travel in public transport without an incident and I wonder how it is that safe for a “solo” “female” travellers to visit Sri Lanka as the top most destination. 

2) How have Arsenal gotten better at football? As an Arsenal fan I struggled to like a single player at the club from 2019-2022. But now I can’t find a player that I hate. All are really good chaps. But I still don’t see eye to eye with the fan base. There is still a thinking that local fans are supirior to the international fans. Plus the young international fan base is kind of annoying because they are easily triggered. 

3) Weird alert!!!! Is Pluto still a planet of the solar system of not? Very soon my kids are going to learn about the solar system and either going to agree that there are 9 planets in the solar system or not. What ever happens I hope I will know the correct answer when they question me. 

4) Why am I thinking of buying more hens? I currently have three and only one is laying eggs, but I’m going through social media posts on hens. I need a brain realignment. 

5) IT’S 2.28am AND I’M NOT EVEN YAWNING. Come on man, let’s sleep. I need to wake up tomorrow. I need recovery from the workout that I did. I can feel the lactic acid building up. 

6) Even though I used to think that Gen Z was absorbing American cultural trend like a dry piece of bread dropped in a bowl of water, I never realized that I have been influenced too. My fanaticism on CrossFit (which is fading away) plus my new found interest in Pickleball are both influenced by Uncle Sam. I think I’m eating humble pie. 

That’s all I got today. I’m just going to go and stare at the ceiling and imagine the solar system which includes Pluto going around the Sun. 

Good morning.

Rock is the best genre of music and your argument is invalid

I came across Corey Taylor’s acoustic version of Wicked Game by Chris Isaak. This made me realize what an amazing voice Corey Taylor poses. I love the original by Chris Isaak, but Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour signing that song reminded me why I started loving Rock. The ability to sing acoustic without computer generated voices, and in the instance of Corey Taylor from screaming out People = Shit to singing an absolute classic like Wicked Game equally as good as the original is why I love this Genre. 

A weird lanky kid who was above average smart and couldn’t fit in to a clock existed in the 1990s. This 13 year old kid used to jam to Westlife and Nsync. By chance he came across Arms Wide Open by Creed and after that everything changed. I mean the kid remained weird but his taste in music took a wild turn. In can Puddle of Mudd with Blurry and Staind with Its been awhile. He began to amass a legendary collection of Rock CDs. Slipknot, Godsmack, Metallica, Mushroomheads, Mud Vayne, Nirvana, Shinedown and Breaking Benjamin were a few of the favs. If you didn’t know know by now, the kid I am referring to is me. I know!!! Plot twist!!! I tend to shock you guys, don’t I? Unable to fit in, being the second child, Rock music gave me a sort of shell that I could go into and survive through the harsh winters. 

My parents were worried about me, because these uncle and aunts told them that rock promotes violence and will raise hell on earth and all. For me, it was not about any of that. I could relate to the music that I listed. I don’t think I was depressed, but the songs that talked about depression were my favorite. I still listen to the music that I used to grow up on. I call that playlist Sanity. It’s my go to music when I need an escape. I listen to most genres, but for me at least Rock rules them all.

2020

 I here and see a lot of people complain about 2020. “Oh god! This year is the worst” “Can 2020 be over already” and “Please! 2021 be kind to us”.  I think that these sort of comments are bullshit. If you are fracking ( yes fracking, from Battleestar galactica, one of the better and a very realistic theories about human kind ;)) hungry, the only two options that you have are either eating spinach or imminent death due to hunger, you are a stupid idiot show the middle finger to spinach and die of hunger. Additionally, Popeye would be super offended. 

What I’m trying to say is that without complaining about the hard times, try to make your lives happy. So you cannot go out, meet people, talk to your friends or party hard. ( I’ll loving the fact that I can’t do any of that this year) but it time to adapt and move forward. I know! I know! First I was talking about humans coming from outta space, now I’m talking about adapting like the theory of evaluation. Guy wearing shorts is a philosopher and philosophers are open minded. See now? I justified it. Let’s move forward. 

With the added responsibility since I’m 34, I guess 2020 has made me a better human. Don’t worry, I’m still a jerk, an asshole and a arrogant egoistic bastard to many which I love to be. But I became a better person to the people and things that matter the most. 

Don’t let 2020,2021...........2037 be shitty years. A lot of things can still happen. Watch the following movies

Terminator

Blade runner

War of the worlds

World war Z

X Men - Logan

Any Resident Evil movie

Shit can get dark but try to become a happier person

Stay safe!

Random Bullshit Vol : 1000132

What’s up guys?????? Guess who’s back??????? Yeah you guessed it, it’s the main man wearing Shorts. My sense of discipline and consentration has evaporated in the past few years. (borderline ADD) All these fancy social networking gimmicks have distracted me and it has become hard for me to sit, sleep, hang or fly ( yes, I might be able to fly. I’m great like that) in one place and write some shit. Let’s face it guys, I write utter bullshit.

As I am sitting at a sorry ass diner these random thoughts come to my mind. 

1) Why the fuck am I an Arsenal fan. Their is a limit to what a man can take. My beloved Arsenal test my limits on a weekly basis. The Europa league lose just confirmed that Arsenal is the cause of Footballdiesis. ( Tried to make it sound psychological)

Fast forward 2 years............. ( See what I told you about being borderline ADD)

Now I’m on my bed 3.30 in the morning, and for some odd reason, I wanted to blog. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME.

Ok. Ok. Back to the blog.

2) Why am I blogging. All the cool kids, adults and grandies are doing tiktoks and trying to get famous. But I’m trying to write a blog and satisfy my fans who haven’t seen me in action for a good 5 years. Maybe I’m becoming one of those uncles that I used to despise. I love drinking tea, love office shoes with laces and stopped craving the latest gadgets. I don’t know if I’m going anywhere with this, but the topic is random bullshit. So, I am excused. Buhahahha.

3) These Anunnaki theories are so freaking cool. This is my new fixation are all the nessy and alien stuff. Ok. Anunnaki are basically aliens, but now I’ve found a sub section of aliens to research about.

4) When did I start liking Coldplay??????

Thats all I have for today. Glad that I finally finished a post after so long. Not the best content but it’s a start.

Forever Friend

Times goes by, I keep changing.

Not the small boy that once I knew. 

Many friends I gained along the way,

Of which many I have lost track of. 

Best friend was a term I loosely used,

They come and go as you phase through life. 

But you are to me much more.

Forever Friend I’ve found in you.  🐕 

The drift

Have you ever wondered about all the rubbish in your head? The stuff that you think that if, you can get rid of you would be able to do something with your life. That shit ain't going nowhere. I tend to overthink and the rubbish in my head helps me waste countless hours drifting away for no apparent reason.

I sometimes feel that I'm a great philosopher like Aristotle until I present my thoughts to my close ones only for them to laugh out.

Sometimes I feel like a person of self realization, thinking everything in life is immaterial and will cause pain.

Sometimes I feel like the guy wearing shorts, cause I don't know where I'm headed with this post.

I like to drift away and think that there are alternate universes and every decision we make creates and alternate reality.  

Just wanted to type some nonsense. 

Live life!

Legendary Mac

Life sucks! Doesn't it? Lord Buddha once said that the only certainty in life is death. Even though this statement is true, we tend to cling on to things, the sort of things which cause us pain when we loose it. This is a story about that sort of pain.

I remember as if it was yesterday. (I'm not trying to be corny, but I actually remember it as if yesterday) I was 16 and a tutor came to teach me at home. As the tutor was leaving our home, my parents returned home with a





3 months later.........





Toy Poodle Puppy, white as snow. It was totally unexpected. I was at an age where I didn't mind a puppy at home even though I was not dying to have one as well. Just like Britney Spears, when She was JUST a girl and not YET a woman.

This Toy Poodle changed our lives for ever.

For the next thirteen years, he became a brother to me and a son to my parents. He knew how to count up to 5. That is because there are 5 members in our family. When ever we go somewhere and come back home, he counts the number of family members who returned and if someone in missing, he would inquire.

Loves to go in the vehicle and is literally the tail of my father. Once he went to office with him. It is no joke and I wasn't high as a kite as well. The protector of our parents room. Who thy shall enter the room when the parents are not inside the room shall receive thy Mac's teeth mark on thy buttock.

I married, I moved out. He grew old. The day after his 13th birthday, he was with my mother in their room. He was sick and wouldn't walk. But he mustered enough strength to ask my mother to go to the garden with him. As soon as he got to the garden, he left us.

I wasn't high on his affectionate ladder, but he knew that I loved him and he loved me back. The guy had a lot of love to give.

You were a great dog Mac. You were a great brother.

Much love
