Man, what a day! Seriously, I’m still reeling from it. So, I woke up in Cellino-San-Marco, right? This little gem in Italy, where the streets are like a maze and the vibe is just... chef’s kiss. I mean, who knew a small town could pack such a punch?
First off, I hit up Via Roma for some coffee. You know, the good stuff. I’m talking about that rich, dark espresso that slaps you awake. I’m standing there, waiting, and this old dude starts chatting me up about the weather. Like, bro, it’s sunny. What else is there to say? But he’s going on about how the sun’s been too hot lately. I’m like, “Dude, it’s Italy. Embrace it!”
Then, I head over to Piazza della Libertà. It’s buzzing! There’s this street performer doing some wild juggling act. I mean, he’s tossing flaming torches like it’s no big deal. I’m just standing there, mouth agape, thinking, “If I tried that, I’d probably set my hair on fire.” But hey, he’s nailing it! The crowd’s loving it, and I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
But then, bam! My phone buzzes. It’s my client. Ugh. They want changes on the animation I just sent. Like, seriously? I spent hours on that! I’m fuming. I mean, I get it, but c’mon! I’m in the middle of a beautiful piazza, and you want me to fix your nitpicky stuff?
So, I’m pacing around, trying to find a spot to chill and brainstorm. I wander down Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, and I spot this cute little gelato shop. I’m like, “Okay, gelato fixes everything.” I grab a scoop of pistachio, and wow, it’s like a party in my mouth! Suddenly, life doesn’t seem so bad.
But then, I trip over a cobblestone. Classic me, right? I spill gelato all over my shirt. Great. Now I look like a walking dessert. I’m laughing at myself, but also kinda mad. Like, why can’t I just have one perfect day?
After that, I decide to hit up the local art gallery on Via San Marco. I’m hoping to find some inspiration. The place is small but packed with talent. I’m wandering around, and I see this painting that just hits me. It’s all vibrant colors and chaotic lines. I’m like, “Yes! This is what I need!” I snap a pic for reference, and I’m feeling pumped again.
But then, I overhear this couple arguing. Like, full-on shouting. They’re right next to me! I’m trying to enjoy art, and they’re throwing shade like it’s a sport. I’m thinking, “Dude, can you not? I’m trying to vibe here!”
Finally, I head back to my studio, feeling a mix of emotions. I’m angry, happy, and a bit confused. I sit down, and I’m like, “Alright, let’s tackle this animation.” I put on some tunes, and suddenly, I’m in the zone. I’m drawing like a madman, and it feels good.
By the end of the night, I’m exhausted but satisfied. Cellino-San-Marco, you’ve been a wild ride today. From coffee chats to gelato spills, and art inspiration, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Just another day in this crazy little town!
