I Spent most of the afternoon with Vin Diesel. We talked about all kinds of things, especially the state of the world since 2020 and cryptocurrency. He is aware of Hive too...
V.D. is thinking of buying some land and a house to live in, in this area. I showed him the place I am renting and taught him a thing or two about houses and land in Portugal.
He is a lot smaller than you might think. I am 6 feet 1 and - standing next to him - I seemed to be about one inch taller.
Vinny actually has hair on his head and isn't ordinarily muscled.
He also appears to have some excess weight.
Long story short:
I was aware of the fact that he was in the area, as we had been in touch for some months ( occasionally ), since our first meeting in June.
I knew he was making his way to Portugal and sensed he was approaching the region where I live. Even though - the last time we messaged - he had been in the South of France.
Yesterday, it was my neighbor's birthday and I thought it might be fun to have Vin Diesel join the party.
I messaged him an hour before the party started, to ask where he was hanging out, whether he had made it to Portugal?
Vin didn't reply.
When I showed up at the party, 45 minutes later, to my surprise, I found Vin Diesel there.
He had driven his van for 10 hours straight, the day before, to make it from France to the center of Portugal.
He had wanted to surprise my neighbor for his birthday ( of which he had received a Fceb*k notification ) and I guess that he wanted to surprise me too.
Today I texted Vin Diesel, to ask if he was up for a coffee.
He didn't reply. Four hours later he messaged me on Whtspp, to ask whether I was at home.
Apparently he hadn't received my message this morning, as his Telegram notifications were turned off.
He had timed it well.
I was cooking home made soup and had just baked my own bread.
Vinny is a picky eater but I think he enjoyed the meal and the company, as he stayed 4 and a half hours and I almost had to push him out.
We will hang out again soon.
TO BE CONVINUED (?)
The guy I hung out with today is a Dutch guy named Vincent ( like me ). I met him month's ago at my neighbor's place. We stayed in touch.
Back then, he told me that he had been thinking of leaving The Netherlands, to start a new life in Portugal.
Just now, he made it here, after having taken care of most things in The Netherlands.
This afternoon, he told me that he was thinking of putting a big sticker on his green van, with the words 'Vin Diesel'. To remind himself to put Diesel in the tank ( and, of course, because his first name is Vincent ).
As I love word jokes, I could appreciate this. And now, an hour or three later, I decided to write a post inspired by his joke.
I realize that he could also call his green automobile 'Van Diesel' but the Vin part is extra cool for a Vincent, I guess.
