I am still thinking about my little performer peppino hc. Not like stage performing but like. The same kind of energy of chefs that work hibachi grills in front of customers? Some people will do the job but some people like to be a little flashy ✨
There was a pizzeria by me that was SO fucking small, u could see the oven and small storage room behind it. But that meant u could see like both chefs making their pizzas. And one of them was SO flashy he was just having a good time. I usually ordered ahead of time to go bc it would take 20 some odd minutes to get an order done but sometimes pizza was an afterthought so id come in and have to wait the full 20 minutes. And its late in the evening and its kinda slow. But hes like spinnin that dough in the air and all that shit and i know what he does during the busy hours so i know hes just flexing. Or maybe he was just vibin who knows. And hed do this thing w the string to tie the box tight that i CANNOT find online but its like, turning the box incredibly fast and looping the strings over itself until the whole box has 8 separate strings that make a cute bow in the center like bro what the fuck that was magic bro howd u do that shit. I think its nice; i like seeing people own their profession. Its his job for like the rest of his life and people love the food and the atmosphere is nice and chill and he gets to flex his skills at 9pm 🍕💖

Last week, I took a look at a truly great film from Jamaica starring Jimmy Cliff and telling the tale of an outlaw for the people in The Harder They Come. It's on Tubi and I totally recommend anyone check it out.

Never take the story of any god or spirit or magical being to be all true. If the gods created everything, was truth not just another creation?
