vapi’s with money, 12.16.23

money was in town for the falcons/panthers game so we got up for vapiano’s downtown. it’s called bella ciao now, but it’s still so fire. i got the usual fettucini chicken alfredo, the same dish i’ve been getting since i first came here in 2011. what i love about their pasta is the texture. i haven’t tasted pasta similar to that anywhere else. i don’t eat pasta often, but i’ve ate it enough over the years to know that vapiano’s is special. money and i talked about the amm air jordan 5’s release, the reverse grinch kobes, baby g, and going to japan next year. it’s incredible that we can get up at the same restaurant year after year and have different conversations about the same topics. shoes, women, life, etc. i asked if he was going to move back to nc and he told me it’s a thought in his mind, especially if he could find a similar job to what he has now in georgia, up here. i told him i plan to move back in the next few years but new england might be the wave for me at the moment.

anything can happen at any time, but it’s always a blessing to have time and good people in your corner so i thank God.

time with good people in this life is such a luxury these days.
