Man, lemme tell ya about my day in Afula. Wow, just wow. I’m a bouncer, right? So, I’m used to craziness, but today was somethin’ else.
Started off chillin’ at the club on HaShalom St. You know, just another night, right? But nah, not today. First off, it was hotter than a furnace. I’m sweatin’ like a pig, and the line outside is longer than the queue for falafel at that spot on Jabotinsky.
So, I’m checkin IDs, and this dude rolls up. Looks like he just came from a rave or somethin’. Hair all wild, clothes all neon. I’m like, “Bro, you sure you’re 21?” He just laughs, says he’s “forever young.” Ugh, I hate that line. But whatever, I let him in.
Inside, it’s packed. Music’s bumpin’, lights flashin’. I’m tryin’ to keep it cool, but then I see this girl on the dance floor. She’s goin’ wild, like she’s in her own world. I’m thinkin’, “Girl, you’re gonna break somethin’.” But hey, she’s havin’ a blast, so I let it slide.
Then, outta nowhere, I hear a commotion near the bar. Some guy’s tryin’ to hit on a girl, and she’s not havin’ it. I mean, c’mon, dude, read the room! I step in, and he’s all like, “I’m just tryna be friendly.” Yeah, right. I’m like, “Bro, you’re about to be unfriendly if you don’t back off.”
Finally, I get him to chill, but then I spot a fight breakin’ out near the exit. Two guys, fists flyin’. I rush over, and it’s like a scene from a movie. I grab one dude, and he’s all, “I didn’t do nothin’!” Yeah, right. I’m like, “Dude, you’re literally throwin’ punches.”
After I break it up, I’m feelin’ like a superhero. But then, I look outside, and it’s like a scene from a horror movie. A storm’s rollin’ in, and the sky’s turnin’ all dark and moody. I’m thinkin’, “Great, just what I need.”
So, I’m back inside, and the vibe’s shiftin’. People are gettin’ restless. I’m tryin’ to keep the peace, but it’s like herding cats. Then, the power goes out. Pitch black. I’m like, “Oh no, not now!”
But then, the crowd starts cheerin’. They pull out their phones, flashlights everywhere. It’s kinda cool, like a mini rave in the dark. I’m just standin’ there, tryin’ to keep my cool.
Finally, the lights come back on, and I’m like, “Phew!” But then, I see that girl from earlier. She’s on the bar, dancin’ like it’s her last night on Earth. I’m thinkin’, “Girl, you’re gonna fall!” But she’s livin’ her best life, so I just let it be.
As the night winds down, I’m exhausted. I step outside, and the rain’s comin’ down hard. I’m soaked, but I don’t care. Afula’s got this vibe, ya know? The streets are alive, even in the rain.
I walk down HaShomer St., and it’s quiet now. Just me and the sound of the rain. I’m thinkin’ about the craziness of the night. Afula, man, it’s wild. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
So yeah, that was my day. Full of ups and downs, but that’s just how it goes. Afula, you crazy, but I love ya.
