Things I'd Like To Have...Someday! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 *Sigh* Well these past few weeks have been rather hectic...A mottled mix of bliss, annoyance, satisfaction confusion,a cartload of good memories to treasure and a smidgen of heartache. While I spent my days in general conversation with high ranking pilots and pure-genius-engineers I came to realize that they had exactly what they wanted...They didn't say so or proclaim it...But you saw it in the way they walk, the way they talk, their reactions and their advice. Its not an egotistic, bold and blaring thing...Its subtle, hidden...But very much there if you bother to look! These were people in their late 40s? and 50s who had pretty much seen it all...People who had lived, loved and learned so much it shocked me into a state of awe! I found myself finishing off my duties so I could go and strike up small talk which would inevitably lead to deeper things, truths about life and people. I generally detest being lectured by my parents, and relatives...I think its their tone...They have this Read more:Someday

Why am I not dating anyone...? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I've been meeting a lot of new people these past few days, so in the course of general conversation almost every girl I newly met asked me the million dollar question "Would you go to bed with me"....hehehe...No no the OTHER million dollar question..."so how come your single / not dating anyone"? Answers range from "i'm gay" to "I haven't met anyone yet" but I don't think that's entirely true...I'm not gay (i'm NOT OK!!!!) and I might have met someone who I saw a future with but I didn't act upon it or search for more, out of fear...Fear of the consequences of falling totally and hopelessly in love!I have always fallen head over heels for people...It was ALWAYS the case I don't think i've ever had anything mild. If I like someone its always intense, its always breath taking and heart racing and i've always totally and completely let myself been blown away by that emotion. Unfortunately when you're that big a love-fool you tend to do anything for love...This includes running
TNL Onstage 1970-01-01 00:59:59 HAHAHA...I'm back I'm back I'm back!!! after what seems like a F***ing ETERNITY of absence (or abstinence) from the social scene I FINALLY got out of the house and into a "happening place" ...And BOY did it feel GRRRREAT!!!! I had SO forgotten how much fun it used to be going out, partying till dawn, hanging out with people you like, love and live for!...It all started with that bloody composite material exam that I HAD to ace to even be considered for certain academic awards ;) after that things just kinda-sorta slipped into that pre O/L study like your LIFE depended on it mundane routine!!! but now its all over!!!! I'm free i'm free!!!!! (heard that joke about the prisoner who dug out of jail and surfaced in a preschool? " I'm free i'm free he screamed...A little girl gave him a scowl and said "so what...I'm FOUR!!!) Anyways it was simply awesome to just get out after such a long time...I doubt i've ever stayed away from a club/pub/party/etc for this long!!!! and by god onst
The Aviation Industry in Sri Lanka ( Is it Screwed? ) 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Despite rising fuel costs, the threat of global terrorism, the cost of raw materials, labour and other contributing factors on the steady rise, the world airline industry, as a whole is expanding. One glance at a newspaper today and you will see testament to this. Airlines are expanding their fleets, manufacturers are churning out new aircraft, and cargo, ground handling, and maintenance facilities are popping up like mushrooms after a heavy shower! Everywhere I look I see the industry booming after 9/11 and Bush's bloody war on Iraq and the world oil prices...Everywhere except Sri Lanka
.Sri Lanka
is one of the few places in the world where the aviation industry is not only on the back-foot its ready to fall...but the funny thing is that Asia is supposed to be the next aviation "hot-spot" Most of the companies in the airline industry are focusing their undivided attention on the Asian market; Airbus and Boeing are running tests to ascertain how tropical temperatures affect turbine per Read more:Screwed
PSG?!? WTF??? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Ok!!! I'm shocked, saddened, and pissed off…all of a sudden I'm noticing all this CRAP on Kottu. Specially thisIt seems to be some sort of statement issued by this group of people called the PSG. They basically want peace in war-torn areas. But it's a very convenient peace; to the terrorists of course! I can't understand how these people can whitewash everything and trivialize the truth of things. The tigers are terrorists, holding people and a government to ransom by depriving a bunch of farmer's water. Now what's so complicated about that? The GoSL asked them to restore the water supply the tigers refused so now the water is being restored by force. Why do you people have to defend the tigers at every turn….to be fair?How about being fair by the children who have got some weird rash by bathing in filthy-puddle water? How about being fair by the soldiers who got their guts blown out by trying to restore the water…which ironically they don't NEED to die for?"The L
My Monitor :) shes back... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Four whole days...I survived without the internet, email, movies, music, and the blogsphere for FOUR whole days...You think its easy?...Try it! I dare you! pawn off your monitor (trust me it VERY efficiently cuts off any use of the computer) buy a book and TRY to bear up living four days without a computer...Its torture...I'd rather go to hell (which I probably will visit sometime soon) than live my life without a computer...It all started with a very annoying line appearing horizontally across my screen...The line would disappear when I flick the monitor and then suddenly reappear while I was watching a movie or even when the music was too loud (I think the big thumping subwoofer caused this) this happened a few more times during the course of the week, later on the lines increased and a little flick didn't work...A gentle tap did the job, then it was a harsh thud and finally violent shaking restored the image for a few minutes only to disappear at the flapping of a butterflies wing Read more:Monitor
If chocolate is the food of the gods, Ice cream is the devil's!!! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Ate. Too. Much...Need. To. Barf...*groan* *whine* *Whimper*Why does this always happen to me? the last time it was french fries and the time before that it was cheese and onion sausages....It's not fair...Evil evil food...!!!! Woke up this morning at around 10:30 to find a note scribbled on my blackboard (yes I have a blackboard...Try doing advanced physics without one and see how much paper you waste) "Gone to Achchi's (Grandma's) place will be back in the evening, money for food is on top of the fridge, call if you need anything"...hmmm...OK...So the parents have left in early morning and I didn't hear a thing...Oh well...Who cares!!!! spent the most of the "morning" listening to music and playing ETHERLORDS and realized i'd have to go get lunch for myself...After much pondering I decided I wanted to have something different for lunch...I'm SICK of bloody rice and rubbish, and I SO cant cook...So that left me with only ONE (1) option...ICE CREAM!!!!!!! (for those of you who jus Read more:Ice cream
Local TV is back *sigh of relief* 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Friends, Two guys & a girl, Veronica Mars, ONE TREE HILL, and Gilmore girls...is that SO much to ask for?!?! OH-MY-GOD! After what seemed like eternity local TV is back to normal…this means that Dimi who cant afford CBN, LBN, Comet, Etc, Can once again sleep at 3:30, wake up at 7 and watch TV till 9, after which I sleep again (one can never get too much sleep right?) hehehe :p But honestly what was that nonsense about…promoting the local TV industry? What industry the one that produced smash hits like "Shakalaka Baby"…Aney! Here! Seriously! No one is going to watch that sorta crap and if you think banning GREAT English programmes is the answer to that problem…well…I really don't know how to put this to you but…GO…FUCK…YOURSELF!!!! Well this post was just to ensure that I have a July 2006 in my archives so I shall take thy leave for now…but for all those people who seriously supported the English-levy-tax-Nonsense…GO…F…hehehe….

Why Bother? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Was going through Kottu and saw that a few concerned people had appealed for the sane, rational, people of this country to get down to Lipton circus to protest against the chaos taking place in Muttur. I don't mean to sound callous or indifferent to the suffering people over there but do protests REALLY work? Honestly?The LTTE obviously doesn't give a rats-ass about protests, both local and international and I don't see the armed forces standing down just because a group of people had the balls to go out and show their displeasure about things. So why do people protest? Israel doesn't give two-hoots about the global protests, nor do the Americans about the war in Iraq. So why should I believe that we can do anything else?I know I'll be pissing of a lot of people by saying this but I think protests are pointless. True you get media attention and more people get to know what's really going on. But it doesn't change what's going on there…does it? The bombs don't stop f
Laksii 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Spent a greater part of last night (and the wee hours of today morning) having Bacardi and talking about our friends...Former lovers, Best friends now bitter enemies, People who changed for the better and some who've changed for the worse. And somehow (inevitably I guess?) got talking about my dearest darling Laksii (Better known as Lakshi, but the T9 dictionary insists it's Laksii) So since I spent most of the night chatting about her i've decided to blog about her for no reason in particular...Other than the fact that shes a great friend and I feel like dedicating a post to her presence in my happy little life!I cant for the life of me recall where or how I first met laksii...I'm guessing it was at Rishitha's place? or maybe even through Ashini (whose my link to most my female friends) or was it through Dion & Andrea?!? its been so long I cant remember...But then again i'm not known for my unfailing memory therefore I cant recall how long i've known her either...But I think we
Condom Shopping 1970-01-01 00:59:59 *sigh* my life is just too weird!!! For as long as I can remember i've been a designated condom shopper...NO I'm not a nymphomaniac, nor have I mistaken condoms for flavoured balloons, it just sorta happened...Long ago, while I was schooling and ever since i've been plagued by pitiful souls who beg me to go shopping on their behalf!!!!I started my career (if you get paid for a job and you do it regularly its classified as a career isn't it?) during one particular sportsmeet season at school...Being a prefect (Believe it or not...I myself cannot) and a senior member of the athletics squad I get burdened with the task of running to the pharmacy to stock up on Glucose, Dextrose, Plasters, Surgical spirits and other pharmaceuticals needed on a daily basis during a meet. So everyones kinda notices me slipping out of school, being gone for an hour (even though the pharmacy is just across the road) and coming back with a bag full of drugs (legal of course) and my pockets full of cigarette Read more:Condom

My (Blogger Beta) Metamorphosis! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Dragons Of Eden is now proudly publishing as a "Beta Blogger
"Dimi's New Words for today are fugly & fawesome....After about three hours of tearing out my hair and swearing at whoever decided to "upgrade" Blogger I have finally managed to set up the DoE to look and function as I want it to! I had a few problems with a fugly (fuck-ugly) Label Cloud and horribly complicated comment hiding process but I think everything is as I hoped it would it be. Getting back my "previous posts" link and relinking to all my pretty little link-affiliate boxes as relatively simple and moving the widgets around was fun but I hate the fact that the coding still looks alien to HTML idiot a.k.a. Me!!! I mean I used to have a vague idea of what-was-what on the "classic" template, simply because I mutilated the coding a few dozen times to see what would happen...but now I'm right back in retardville with the introduction of this new blogger beta layout! oh well at least when you click on my links you go where Read more:Metamorphosis
Strange Accusations - Part II (Horny when High) 1970-01-01 00:59:59 WARNING: The Author of this post has been labeled Horny
When HighWell life with the family just gets better doesn't it? I just got accused of being "horny" when I'm high...how weird is that? NO I haven't groped anyone in my drunken stupor, nor have I slept with some random stranger after a few Vodka's! And yet here I am being called a hormone raging horny freak who "seriously" needs to get a room?!?! (Once again) WTF?!?! So our little story begins with a phone call and an invitation to go clubbing with cousins. Its almost like tradition…with the dawning of December (November included) we get into the party, Christmassy vibe where we all go shopping together (because we cant shop for each other independently) and start to meet up more frequently to season ourselves for the days to come…this generally starts of with a month of continuous clubbing sprees and house parties and ends on 31st night! Anyways got called out and we all decided to go to Tabu because we weren†Read more:Strange
Green Eyed Monster 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Am I really that big a threat to you? I mean I know I'm not horrible at what I do, but do you seriously think I'm better than you? I'm flattered and perplexed by your behavior, your envy, your fear.I don't think I've ever been overwhelmed by jealousy...I've been jealous of people who can look once at a book and retain its entire contents, I envy those who can ace an exam after countless nights of partying, and I feel a little stab of "J" when I meet schoolmates who haven't turned into big fat louts like myself, but it has never been an engulfing, over powering emotion...just a twinge! I've always heard of people who are jealous freaks who lie, cheat and backstab in an attempt to gain some sort of advantage but I've never really encountered that sort of being...until now!So here's the situational history; As trainee aircraft engineers one needs to show documentation to prove that one has the necessary experience to obtain ones license. Normally what people do is get a lett Read more:Green

You've got (white thongs in the) mail 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I am now in possession in some poor young lady's white thong!!! WTF?!?!Thank god I woke up at 6:30 am today…the blooming dog was barking its head off so I was rudely awakened at that ungodly hour! So I did the usual morning routine which was slightly slower than normal because I was a bit "rumstruck" last night after a night on the town with Radhive (Not the hot female from the Dominican Republic, the skinny one from Sri Lanka!) and then I proceeded downstairs to find myself breakfast…I found a few bananas, a slice of ribbon cake with outrageously sweet icing, a packet of left over mixture in the fridge, and some milk which wasn't sour!!! So after having my wholesome morning meal I started opening doors and letting the cats out and went to look for the newspaper which is normally shoved in our little postbox! So here's the scene…our postbox is made of clear plastic so you can see when there's something in the mail. Of course it's attached to the gate so only people Read more:thongs
Is a scorpion a pet? what about a tarantula? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Why do I have to baby sit this uncouth little demon seed while I could be happily locked up in my room watching "Sweet November"? *sigh* life just isn't fair!!!! "My friend has a snake you don't have a snake no"…I had a snake, and a scorpion

, ten piranhas, three arowanas, a family of squirrels, more exotic fish than you will ever see in the dehiwala zoo, two cats and a dog, more than ten tortoises and two turtles, a guinea foul and a cow on the estate…so what does your friend have again? *smirk*"You're a liar" says wannabe Damien Thorn, and he storms off to complain to his mother or my mother or someone's mother as long as he gets some effing attention and something to eat…little prick! Someone should hit him over the head, put his feet in a bucket, fill the bucket with concrete, wait till it dries, and throw him in the sea!!! Little prick!But that got me thinking…man! The creatures that have lived in this house…what does it take to classi
My weakness for women in white! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 If someone were to ask me what I thought the sexiest colour was i'd have to say white...I know the usual response is either RED (Lingerie) or BLACK (Leather) but to me there just something irresistible about a chick in a white top...And NO the top doesn't HAVE to be soaking wet, however it does help step up the sexy meter!!! :p Why am I blogging about this nonsensical topic? Because I just promised to buy a certain sweet individual a top of her choice PROVIDED its white!!!! hehehe (yes I have evil ulterior motives) I've actually done this before....Quite a few times if i'm not mistaken...OK so it puts me down by a few hundred bucks...But its worth the investment! Have you noticed how tiny tops look when you pick them up?!?!?...Its scary...Their ABSOLUTELY skimpy!!!!! I mean if you buy a shirt or a tshirt, its always of considerable size...I mean you have to spread your arms to see the whole thing properly...But you pick a top off the shelf and you immediately think "shes willing to Read more:weakness
November...Is Poppy Month. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Flight plans for the next few hours are cancelled. News is that there is heavy fighting happening and that the casualties are high. We wait for the sound of the ambulances and watch as they line up on the parking apron and set up to receive the injured, the maimed, the mangled and the dying. The low drone of a turboprop alerts us to the incoming air traffic...The first of four AN-32 Troop carriers / cargo planes touches down and booms as the plane goes into reverse thrust to shorten its landing roll...Time is of the essence to some of troops who are on that plane...Even before the plane reaches the apron the rear cargo door is hydraulically actuated, opening slowly to reveal its "load". marshals don't bother telling the medics to wait for the engines to stop to get close to the aircraft, its a scene of calculated confusion...Medics, officers, troops, stretchers, saline, and ammunition. The receding whine indicates that the engines have finally been shut down and the refueling trucks, Read more:November

Happiness isn't happiness without a violin playing goat. 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Weirdest of titles isn't it? I'm sure some of you are wondering what queer concoction i've been drinking! but i'm not high (this time) I swear!!!! i'm just emotionally overwhelmed... A bittersweet emotion...One of tender memories, fondness, caring and love. One of betrayal, hurt, anger and hatred, theres a dash of regret and a bit of confusion somewhere in there as well...But enough! This is me venting. So bear with me. Happiness isn't happiness without a violin

Strange Accusations 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Fail safe ways to pick up girls. 1. Own a expensive car. 2. Be the Son of the owner of an expensive car 3. Be great with little kids...Specially in public.My evening slumber was broken by the ringing of the god damn phone...Picked it up to hear the cry of a little girl and the hysterical voice of a lady "Here you bugger get dressed i'll come to get you in half and hour" Not having any prior engagements and not recognizing the voice on the other end I simply said wrong number and hung up...I mean after all why waste time chatting when I have so much sleeping to do right? So I crawled back into bed happy it was raining and that I had the rest of the evening to myself...To sleep! :) A few seconds passed before I hear that god awful *Ring Ring* again...So I grab the phone, grit my teeth, and sweetly say "Hello Dimithri here" and once again...I'm addressed as "Here you bugger"!!!! Only this time the voice sounds vaguely familiar...."Here you bugger why the hell did you hang up on me you Read more:Strange

So picture me, huffing and puffing myself along this sandy road when this brick laden lorry decides to overtake some other vehicle and it is TOTALLY on the wrong side (MY side) of the road....So poor scared me, slams on the brakes, skids on the nice sandy road, and manages to dodge mad max and Read more:Management

Loooooooooser!!!!!!! :p hehehe OK OK read the post already!Ever seen that series on TV called Punk'd (Hosted by DEMI MOORE's Husband? a.k.a. Lucky Bastard / Ashton Kutcher?) Its this program where he dupes all these celebrities with his outrageous pranks Justin Timberlake got his house seized by (FAKE) tax officials for not paying up his taxes, Hally Berry isn't allowed to enter the world premier of Gothika (which SHE acted in), and Lindsay Lohan gets her Limo Stolen...All extremely well set up pranks which leave the hot shots shell shocked, speechless, and (in some cases) in tears!...This is MY version....Where I left Thara dumb founded, momentarily heart broken and just barely tearing! ;)Thara is a junior pilot at our flying school, He's a "proper" Junior...pre-PPL, just out of ground school and just getting into our world of pranks and evil practical jokes. So our man Thara here has the biggest crush on this girl at a dancing school
Things you shouldn't know about airlines - Courtesy your friendly aircraft engineer! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Ever wondered about how safe your flight was? Millions of people put their faith and trust in the hands of the Engineering staff and Pilots everyday because they believe that the airplane they fly in is safe. Safe because of the highly trained staff handling the tasks involved are meticulous and extremely careful. Safe because strict rules govern those who are involved in the industry to ensure nothing goes wrong. Safe because of the multiple systems and fail-safe backups. Safe because the industry has a pretty impressive safety record.But every once in a while we fuck up…so we set up a few things to help you through the traumatic dive from 33000 feet to sea level (a.k.a SPLAT)First up, we stuck little instruction leaflets in those funky front seat pockets telling you EXACTLY what to do in case of an emergency. Fasten your seat belts and hold on to the base of your seat while crouching forwards, this is known as a "bracing position".Do you know WHY they specify this bracing posit Read more:Courtesy

White rum and Ice tea wasn't as exotic as I thought! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 White rum, Orange Juice, Ice Tea, Vodka, Beer, Coke, Red Bull, Water, Soda, Sprite. A few of the things I remember drinking last night / Early today morning.My wallet which was relatively stuffed with money last night, is still stuffed; but with bills, club entrance tickets, and more bills and there is absolutely NO money in it…nothing…not even a ten rupee note to call mine!...hmm…Dimi must go find his mommy's purse (mommy has too much money for her own good) My right arm is covered with weird markings which bouncers stamped onto me at the entrance to every club I went to…I can make out an "ENTRY" and there's something which seems to say "TABU" but I didn't go anywhere near Tabu…or did I?

Air Force Antonov-32 Crashes at Rathmalana Airport 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A Sri Lankan Air force An-32B Military transport aircraft crashed at Rathmalana airport last evening. (11th December 2006)Inbound from the warfront The Russian built AN32B "Coke" was carrying casualties and troops when it overshot the runway and came to rest in the marsh lands past the runway threshold. For obvious reasons I wasn't allowed to see the crash site up close but it seemed that the landing gear wasn't fully down and locked OR the aircraft had ploughed itself well into the ground before stopping because it didn't seem to be resting on its landing gear! The twin turboprop aircraft seemed to have propeller damage as well but it's hard to confirm from where I was!According to somewhat reliable sources the pilot called in with poor visibility, during yesterday evenings heavy thunder shower and requested to approach from the opposite end of the runway (Approach from Galle Road), landed well past the turnoff point and crashed in the marsh…the aircraft is probably dama Read more:Force

Happy Birthday Dragons Of Eden…Two years of Blogging! 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Oh my!!! I've been doing this for two years and I still SUCK at it!I don't know why I started blogging…I read about Blogger.com on yahoo one night, read a few blogs and thought to myself "Hey I can do this too". There was no purpose, no important reason, I wasn't planning an online revolution nor was I trying to make myself famous! I just liked the idea of being able to write and get some sort of response from absolute strangers…which in most cases I found rather enlightening and an absolute joy! Blogging
it seems was just another thing that I felt like doing…like going to the movies alone or eating ice cream on a cold and rainy day. Firstly I spent days setting up the Blog…I goofed around with HTML (and lost my Blog thrice) but eventually I got the hang of it and went insane with a totally hacked Blog template, then I got a craze for those little button things you see just under my profile…I went around looking for them for reasons I still haven't fully figured ( Read more:Happy

Finally on the Flight Line! (Where I was born to be) 1970-01-01 00:59:59 After months of fiddling around with my tiny-tot Cessna 152's and 150's I am finally working on something BIG…Dimi is now clocking up his hours on a pressurized, gas turbine powered Fokker F27 Operated by Expo Aviation. YAY!!!!I always knew that getting into the aero industry was hard, I guess I underestimated how hard it would be but after months of somewhat idling around I got a break at Expo. It all started with an engine change…word was going around that Expo needed people to work for a few days, assisting in the workload, Since I'm trying to become a propulsion engineer a few of my lecturers called me and told me to apply for the vacancies (there were three openings) saying that they would put in a good word and vouch for my decent engine knowledge and they all stressed upon the fact that if I performed well I might be asked to stay on at Expo.So Dimi updated his resume and photocopied his certificates and took a god-awful picture of myself and sent it to the recruiters.
