Man, what a day! I swear, I thought I was just gonna chill in Settimo-San-Pietro, grab a coffee, maybe hit up the market on Via Roma. But nah, life had other plans.
So, I roll outta bed, right? It’s like 7 AM, and I’m already feelin’ the weight of the world. I’m a shooter, you know, security and all that jazz. But today? Today was a whole different beast. I grab my gear, head out, and the sun’s shining like it’s tryin’ to blind me.
First stop, the piazza. You know, the one with the fountain? Yeah, that one. It’s usually chill, but today? Nah, man. There’s this huge crowd. I’m thinkin’, “What’s the deal?” Turns out, some local band is playin’. They’re decent, but the crowd? They’re wildin’ out! I’m just tryin’ to keep my cool, but inside, I’m like, “Can’t a guy just enjoy his morning?”
Then, outta nowhere, I hear this commotion. Some dude’s shoutin’ about a lost dog. I mean, c’mon, it’s Settimo-San-Pietro, not a dog show! But the way people reacted? You’d think it was the end of the world. I’m tryin’ to focus on my job, but now I’m feelin’ all mushy inside. I mean, who doesn’t love a good dog story, right?
Fast forward a bit, I’m on Via Torino, and I spot this sketchy guy. He’s lookin’ around like he’s up to no good. My instincts kick in. I’m like, “Here we go.” I follow him, heart racin’. Turns out, he’s just tryin’ to sell some knockoff sunglasses. I mean, really? In Settimo-San-Pietro? You gotta be more creative than that, bro!
But then, bam! Outta nowhere, I hear a loud crash. My heart drops. I sprint towards the sound, and it’s a car accident. Two cars, smashed up, people yellin’. I’m thinkin’, “This is why I’m here.” I jump in, doin’ my thing, makin’ sure everyone’s okay. It’s chaos, but I thrive in chaos.
After that, I’m feelin’ a mix of adrenaline and anger. Like, why can’t people just drive? Settimo-San-Pietro’s got enough charm without the drama! I take a breather by the old church on Via Garibaldi. It’s peaceful there, you know? Just me and the pigeons. I’m tryin’ to calm down, but my mind’s racin’.
Then, I get a call. Some VIP’s in town, and guess who’s on security detail? Yup, yours truly. I’m thinkin’, “Great, just what I need.” I rush over to the venue, and it’s packed. The energy’s electric, but I’m still on high alert.
As I’m scanning the crowd, I spot a kid with a gelato. He’s got it all over his face, and I can’t help but chuckle. Kids, man. They make everything better. But then, I see a group of guys acting shady. My heart sinks again.
I’m like, “Not again!” I move in, and it turns out they’re just messin’ around, playin’ some prank. I’m relieved but also annoyed. Can’t a guy catch a break?
Finally, the day winds down. I’m exhausted, but I can’t shake the feeling of satisfaction. Settimo-San-Pietro, with all its quirks, is my home. The streets, the people, the chaos—it’s all part of the ride.
As I head back, I pass by the market again. The smell of fresh bread hits me, and I can’t resist. I grab a loaf, thinking about how tomorrow’s gonna be another wild ride. But for now, I’m just grateful. Grateful for the craziness, the surprises, and the little moments that make life in Settimo-San-Pietro worth it.
What a day, huh?
