Mediafire - What Gives?

A few months ago, after I discovered a little known treasure called Mediafire, I was happy to upload all the files I wanted to share, thanks to it's simple file hosting service. Now it's turned into quite a nightmare. I haven't lost a single file I uploaded in the past but uploading a new file is quite traumatic these days.

Here's a helpful bit of info courtesy of tech-recipes - you can search for files on Mediafire using Google:

Final Song by Pradeep Rangana and Surendra Perera (SSS 2 Finals)

This Week on Postsecret

"When I was sixteen I took pictures of my mother sleeping in a chair as she nursed my baby sister. Because her mouth was open and she looked dead. It was funny. When I saw my mom dead on the hospital bead with her mouth open, I recalled those photos and it wasn't funny anymore."

"Frank, if you get this, I have pursued my lifelong dream to become a writer!"

"I have a piece of glass from the windscreen of the car you were ejected from that took your life"

"I did study. I failed this test because I couldn't stop thinking about my secret"

"I secretly wished you would never make it to the NFL...you never did"

"I am tired of waiting for God to find me. So I'll find myself. I started looking last night."

Mihiraaviye - Shihan Mihiranga

Song from Shihan Mihiranga's second album - and a somewhat colorful video. Quite a departure from the grey/green tones in all his previous releases.

Sirasa Super Star - Season 2 (SSS2)

So after much pomp and pageantry, Pradeep Rangana was declared the winner of SSS2. Surendra Perera was the runner up at Saturday's final - which went on well into the wee hours of Sunday morning.

My favorite of the season was Buddhika and he was unfortunately sent off three weeks earlier.

I didn't cover this season of SSS because I just couldn't stomach listening to Uncle Kamal's incessant yapping anymore. Enough is enough, Sirasa - give that man a teledrama to act in, already!!

I felt the second season was much more planned and focused than season one. It had it's good moments too.

Here are my favorite performances by the finalists during SSS Season 2:
