The Killing Joke: Who had the last laugh?

I have been on the fringes of Sri Lankan metal politics for nearly a decade. If I were to say it’ll be a sad day when a musician gives into petty power-politics and forgets his reason for being, then everyday would be a sad day for ‘pure Sri Lankan metal’.
I’m going to tell you my [...]

Obligations

You know I think there’s something grammatically wrong with saying “I feel obligated”. An obligation is not a human emotion. I feel sadness, joy, love, anger. But how can I feel an obligation?
Too much of the world seems to run on it and not on real emotions. I’ve been quiet for a while because I’ve [...]

Lau-Hilau

Thanks for the tag DD & DQ. I spent so much time trying to figure out what to put in this post and then I thought what the heck and just started typing, letting it take me where it should. I don’t think I’ve quite got it down yet, but not figuring it out is [...]

What Women Want

Men always want to be a woman’s first love. That’s their clumsy vanity. We women have a more subtle instinct about things. What we want is to be a man’s last romance – Oscar Wilde

I’ve always love that quote. Ever since I first fell in love. Or maybe even before that. It reminded me that [...]

Sexuality vs. Personality

For those of you who follow my blog, you’ll know that I am actively involved with the LGBTIQ community in Sri Lanka. But this post has nothing to do with that. It has more to do with my subconscious observations of human choices and needs that started (the observations, I mean) way before I became [...]

Getting back to the topic at hand [...]

Jesus… is a TV Show Host?

Pardon the rather rude title but I’m at odds as to how to react to a bit of news I received a few days ago. It’s been stewing around in my head for a while and I thought I’d let you in on it to see how you’d react to it as well.
A certain church [...]

Love is

This is not about the Brian McKinight / Vanessa Williams song that came out when I was running around in that ridiculous box-pleated contraption called a school uniform. Nor is it about the current blog drama going on. As pissed off as I am about it, I think it’s time to get back to the [...]

Dear Blogosphere…

In relation to the latest drama on kottu, I thought I’d add my 2 cents worth. 
Did anyone watch Merlin? The one with Sam Neil playing the title character? The whole thing was based on the concept of the old ways ending and a new, Christian era coming into reign. The old ways, as they were, [...]

To the end of the game!

 

I think it’s downright ridiculous to have to a play a damn game at my age. I’m not entirely over the hill at 29, but I am too old to have to partake in age-old rituals which I’ve long since considered to be entirely silly. People think I’m just faking the anti, simply because I [...]
