@pizzeria_baci_ny Been a wild ride. Not the most comfortable with all this attention. You’ll say I make videos but that’s for my page and customers. I’m not trying nor want to go viral. Truly am humbled and appreciative of all the kind words of support. Not changing anything. Just got a pizza cutter. I sold out before review. Plan accordingly This is proof that anyone can drag themselves up off the canvas for another round. Made 99.9% of pizzas to leave this place. That’s what I’m most proud of. Be consistent and never give up is moral of the story. Open Sunday 1-8 pm. Phones up at noon. ❤️🍕🙏thank you #bacimafia can’t do this without you

Framework

The Chaotic Authenticity Montage

    The Public Misconception

    The subject voices frustration over how they are perceived by the public, establishing an internal conflict between their reality and their reputation.

What what do I get? Do you know? No one? I do know. For my social media shit, everyone thinks I'm a dick and I'm just a pothead smoker. Oh my god. To survive, bro. Alright. To find meaning, end the sentence. Hey. You don't slip. Just get to fall. You can't get up. You know what I'm saying? I don't wanna lie. Why keep No. I'm sorry. Pizza riabache. Tastes like madness.
